COD 6: Hostage multiplayer game on Xbox 360 and Sony PS3

PR writes: "We have read many ideas for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, some about the weapons and others about the game type's in multiplayer. One of the best ideas we would like to see is a hostage online game.

You could save your hostages from the other team before they get killed or something along those lines. Maybe even have the hostages have the option to try and escape from their captors.

Another great idea in COD 6: is to have the lobby for Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 updated, especially on the PS3. When you go to find match it would be good to have it setup like this Find Match-> Countries-> Core/Hardcore-> Game Modes."

10 Million Xbox360 owners play COD4 on Xbox live and a measly 4 million on PS3 PSN.

Doesn't look good for kill zone 2 just saying.

LarVanian6371d ago (Edited 6371d ago )

So what you are trying to say is that 4 million Xbox 360 owners play COD4 on PSN?

My God why were you not drowned at birth?

DA_SHREDDER6371d ago

I play Cod4 on the 360 everyday, and there is no more then 45 thousand people playing it at a time. Usually there are only about 2 thousand people playing Search n Destroy. Thats far from 10 million man. On the other hand I play COD5 on both consoles, and there seems to be the same amount of people playing. Ironic.

Who is this guy?

Edit: Just clarify I'm referring to the pp guy.

Magic_The_Celt6371d ago

your going to be down to one bubble before this week ends my friend

IzKyD13316371d ago

How retarded in math are you?

that isn't 10 million you reject

(Yes, I know vgchartz is inaccurate, but they use NPD to fix up their numbers sometimes)

monitor6371d ago

@da_shredder
thats BS. On the ps3 playing cod waw theres at most 80k players. on the 360 theres at most 260k players. I have both. So next time stop spouting bs when u only have a ps3.

So like counter strike basically?

thor6371d ago

Yeah but hostage rescue sucked because the hostages were such morons. The reason bomb diffusal worked was because there were 2 bombsites; so there should have been 2 places to pick up hostages from - otherwise it just turned into regular deathmatch and the objective got forgotten. I can't think of a single "escort mission" in a game that didn't completely suck because of bad AI and pathfinding, or because it just wasn't fun.

PotNoodle6371d ago

Works perfectly fine in css, no AI problems whenever i've been playing the rescue missions on cs_office.

Mozilla896371d ago

but CS came first so I guess its like CS. I guess it would be cool but I hope they put their own twist to it.

bassturd6371d ago

actually sounds exactly like the Counter-Strike Condition Zero hostages. They reacted to grenades and things by running away. If no one was watching them, they would try to escape themselves. Only bad thing was when you go to rescue them they start saying "HEY OVER HERE!" so Terrorists knew a CT was by the hostages

No Way6371d ago

Rainbow Six Vegas did it as well.

ThanatosDMC6371d ago

In cs_office Source, i usually kill the hostages and shoot up the room. But then again im one of the Tru clan admins.

agentace6371d ago

it would be cool if the hostages were actual people then you could have like 4 rounds, 1st round 1 of the teams of 6 gets split into 3 hostages & 3 recuesers or 2/4, 2nd round they switch(so you dont get stuck being a hostage all the time) then 3rd & 4th round the other team would get to be the hostages

ProperFunked6370d ago

when was there a COD5??? (WaW don't count)

As long as it's optional I don't see why not.

S1nnerman6371d ago

I hope they have better stats. But it does sound like CS. Which is no bad thing

DA_SHREDDER6371d ago (Edited 6371d ago )

I dont know, but his mom should have just swallowed him. Hes about as useful as a used tampon.

Panthers6371d ago

Um no, tampons are much more useful... unless you want your girl bleeding all over your car seat.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle54d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7754d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde61d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy61d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12561d ago (Edited 61d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7762d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga62d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199262d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga62d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman62d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger62d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box62d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion62d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7262d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7562d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit62d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14962d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7762d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
