OT - MW2 and T2K

[boogiedowndonovan]

I'm thinking of picking up MW2 myself (that or Fallout 3). I bought myself a PS3 for my bday.

I'm guessing that most of you guys have MW2 for Xbox or PC? I'm usually not one for online play, but it would be interesting to set up a clan (Red Devils, nickname for 5th ID)

But on the otherhand, I don't have a high tolerance for munchkins in T2k so I'd be annoyed by the cheaters on MW2.

I too have made the mistake of expecting anti-cheat measures for MW2

Not only did you not fix cheats that have been in place since MW1....

but then you take away the dedicated servers which you could at least ban the blatant cheaters from a moderated server.

Anyways... long story short love the single player ...can't play online =\

Newest Battlefield is in the queue!

Right on brother! MajorPo and I have been playing the beta of Battlefield Bad Company 2 and it is fantastic. We've both pre-ordered the game and are eagerly awaiting its release in early March. So much better than MW2 in every way.

Anyone who is considering buying MW2, please, please, please take a look at these trailers before you make your decision - http://www.ea.com/games/battlefield-bad-company-2

One great feature of Battlefield Bad Company 2 is that most of the built environment is destructible. Many times when I've been playing I've made the mistake of thinking that running behind a concrete wall will save me from an armoured vehicle only to see fist and head sized holes being punched through my cover by a tank's top of turret .50 cal. Also there have been a number of frenzied battles I've played in in which my squad mates and I have been desperately trying to hold onto a building only to watch the walls and roof being disintegrated around us by cannon and rocket fire. Last night I was the last man standing in a building and was very proud of myself, up until the moment when the poor building finally gave up the ghost and completely collapsed on top of me in a cloud of brick dust and smoke. So cool.

Well being a FPS fanatic figured i better chime in here.

MW 1 is the best shooter ive ever played, MW2 pushed all the guns together in statistics compared to the first. I play on PS3 and the countless hours i put in on MW1 has turned to barely playing part 2.

Right now im playing MAG, this is similar to bad company playwise, using health points for life and having less weapons. This game suffers from map repeats badly but had 256 player online battles. 4 squad platoons and 2 platoon companies i believe. It is moderatly fun although the rankings kick ass.

My main issue with Battlefield BC 1 was that I was a battlefield 2 player and I liked it much much better. All objects in part one were destructible and by the end of a good game there was no cover left haha. Appearantly there are non destructible areas in the new one or so ive heard.

The game I want or games are ARMA 2 for CPU and Rouge Warrior for PS3.
Also the new Afghanistan themed Medal of Honor

As for MW2 seeing the US invasion was very cool and I loved the single player. If your in the know then you know that 2 companies develop the COD games and the off team is working on the new game which according to patents and website domain aquisitions appears to be Cold War gone hot or perhaps Korea or nam themed. That is what im waiting for now.

I can tell you personally, Fallout 3 is the best game I have ever played on X360. With the great details and the added modules after the main storyline id over. Simply awesome!

I played Fallout 3 and all of its DLC on the PC for about 18 months. Absolutely fantastic. My character ended up with a vast stockpile of gear in his house. I had at least one example (usually many more for use as spared) of every collectable object, weapon, armour and munition in the game. I guess I'm a natural born hoarder

Oops. I was such a fanboy of Battlefield Bad Company 2 when I was playing the beta. Now that the game has been released I am much saddened. The game is crap. Maybe when they've patched it a few times some of the problems will go away but for now what promised to be a great game has turned out to be a steaming loaf of something that definitely isn't marzipan. Sadness thy name is Targan
