I waiting November
Keyboard and Mouse are ready
There is a new BF: bad comp trailer too that looks really awesome.
Seems like they concentrated on single player this time around? Which is cool since multiplayer has grounded itself quite solid
november can't get here fast enough!
whats up with the mohawk dude? pun to killzone?
I like the release date too hahah 11 10 9
God, im getting sick of these sequels.
JK
TOTALLY looking forward to this game. First day buy! Modern Warfare was one of the best games I'd ever played. IW can do no wrong. They're pretty much on the level of Valve and Blizz.
I got cock drool in my paannttss...
EDIT:
This trailer made me buy COD4 on steam. GJ IW
This one looks great! can't wait.
Also, E3 is in a few days. Why are so many companies releasing details/trailers of their biggest games now? Makes no sense to me.
, otherwise the trailer does not impress me so much.
he was a great character.. In fact I just reinstalled COD4 to play it again on hard.. wow. it rocks..
makes COD5 very mediocre.. Im glad they broke modern warfare away from the COD series.. hopefully they can make it a bit more tactical too. My only gripe with 4 is the unending stream of baddies when behind cover vs running the gauntlet and not having many baddies to kill.
way to rip the transformers trailer sounds too!
oh and vehicles in MP.
OMG OMG OMG.
lol ... going from previous experience, if they have driveable vehicles in MP, this will cause a massive split in the online community - those who love vehicles, and those who think things should be infantry-only, forever.
I predict myriad cries of "they ruined everything when they added vehicles!" from CoD4 forumites across the globe!
My hope, is that they do something like COD4 where you call in airstrikes and choppers, but they would be player-controlled instead. Keeps the balance and map size the same, and actually removes a bit of cheapness from air support since it would be skill based and not a bot.
But back to the point of the thread:
OMFG!!!! MW2!!! OMG OMG OMG!!!!!
That's my battlecry. Vehicles in single player? Pretty much a shooter requirement these days. Vehicles in multi? Leave it for tribes/unreal/battlefield. Skirmishes with soldiers only are far more interesting and fun for all.
Appearently there won't be any dedicated servers for MP
Maybe I won't get the game after all.
What a pity.
DICE even jumped in and said they were definitely having dedicated servers for Bad Company 2, since they think it's so integral to keeping a good experience.
If MW2 goes entirely P2P multiplayer (which I believe is well established on consoles but not on PC at all), then that will most likely mean more lag for players connecting, no lag for the host, and re-syncing issues when the host disconnects (they handle this fairly well but it still means a few seconds of pause and a progress bar when the host leaves since the game has to quickly shift the host to another active player - at which point everyone's ping might fluctuate wildly again).
It remains to be seen how well this will work, clearly IW think they know what they're doing, however it has angered a lot of players, and I think they've lost a fair few sales over this (although in the grand scheme of things since they already have well over a million pre-orders, I'm sure IW and Activision aren't complaining).
I guess it depends how well it takes off and how well recieved it is, might be a bit of a dent in their status if it doesn't go down well on release.
Also has huge implications for modding, custom servers, custom settings etc (and generally getting a consistent online gaming experience).
countin' down the days!
sux about the dedicated servers though
I see this as a very good thing. 'push' modes clearly designed with wave respawns in mind played with no respawns and other silliness will be eliminated.
Infact, quakelive is pretty close to an ideal setup for me as finding people your skill level is quick and painless and if you want duels versus people the same applies. For L4D its more appropriate perhaps as that isnt a drop in and play game -> youll get your lineup and then youre in for a ~1hour fixed time so its kinda good to get something sorted prior to actually joining a server and saying "whos ready? lets go?".
Still, for things like TF2 it'd feel kinda detached not to be able to join the same community servers, seeing as they have a rotation of probably a few hundred players that are familiar faces.
I think I'll pass until they come up with something more original.
yes, probably.
IW did, via a podcast interview recently. Their main reasons seem to be that it will help cut down on piracy and that matchmaking systems and p2p are the way forward.
1 - it looks vastly different from the original (no Afghan locations)
2 - Much content than the original (MP here only as I don't know much about SP). More weapons, perks, character customization, etc.
3 - How is being not much different from something that was arguably one of the better games to come out in the last couple of years a bad thing?
Not fanboying it up here, just posing some questions for you.
MoP - Ah, thanks man
Feels like a step backwards
