OT - MW2 and T2K

[Targan]

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

I hadn't read Targan's or Kalos72's posts, but I just went out yesterday and picked up Fallout 3.

GDWfan, how is MAG? is there a single player option?

I found this site very helpful when playing Fallout 3: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_3

It helps you get the most out of the game. Also has lots of excellent background and information on Fallout 3's alternate history (the breakpoint from our history and stuff like that) and also what has gone before, in the earlier Fallout games.

When playing Fallout 3 I recommend that you autosave often as well as making multiple permanent save slots. It will save you a great deal of pain in the long run.

Mag is fun, however it seems that you are restricted to the same 5-6 weapons for the game. You can upgrade them but I was thinking guns on scale with the massive game.

When more maps and updates are out It will be better, Im gonna pick up rouge warrior and try that out now.

What do you guys think about this Cold War call of duty? Im hoping its 60's or 70's alternate history and it has commie zombies

Thanks for the link. Its been a fun and addicting game so far. This is likely going to be another game I will never finish (like Fallout 2).

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
