Play Modern Warfare 2 With a Machine Gun

See Kotaku's Brian Crecente try out the new Assault Rifle gun for the PS3.

Saaking5986d ago (Edited 5986d ago )

Exactly the reason why buttons are required for certain games. How in the world are you going to play an FPS with natal? It's impossible unless you against the whole point of it and use the 360 controller.

That's the problem. MS has hyped it up to be a "controller-less experience" (even in the first ad). If a controller is needed along with Natal then what's the point?

AngryHippo5986d ago

'the new Assault Rifle gun for the PS3', nothing to do with natal in the title or article. Its regarding the PS3 a gun shaped controller and MW2.

'That's the problem. MS has hyped it up to be a "controller-less experience", no, the problem is people already complaining and hating on it before more concrete information has been released on how it'll be used in games. Try taking a wait and see approach to it, until at least closer its launch, instead of voicing how you think it'll be a failure in an unrelated article forum. All I am saying is give it a chance.

Maddens Raiders5986d ago (Edited 5986d ago )

why not give us your take on how Natal will work in an FPS? I mean practically. Surely you've sat back and pondered this right? And please don't give us the tired:

HOW YOU'LL WALK/RUN:
Imagine a square on the floor and you're standing in the middle of it. Move forward in the square to walk forward (backward to move backward, etc..). To sprint, move to the far edge of the square and do high-knees.

HOW YOU'LL SPIN AROUND:
Drag your foot along the floor to "spin" the scenery. Drag your right foot back to turn left or forward to turn right. Kick hard and keep your foot off the floor to do a pirouette.

HOW YOU'LL USE A GUN:
Hold your hand like a gun and then, to fire, blink your left eye OR lower your thumb down to the knuckle of your middle finger.

I hope what you said doesn't happen cos that sounded so tiring just to read that I already feel I lost 10 lbs.

Mista T5986d ago

lol dude, after reading that

HOW TO RELAX:
use a controller for christ's sake

thor5986d ago

Saaking giving Natal free publicity again. They're only saying that it could work with hardcore games to drive people into a frenzy. Deep down we all know it's a casual gimmick in response to the Wii. So why even mention it?

Bubbles_Kitty_Cat5986d ago (Edited 5986d ago )

I like how people keep trying to scare everybody by making it sound like once Natal is here it will be the only way to play FPS games. lol

It has already been said that Natal can be used WITH the 360's controller, it doesn't have to be all or nothing. In fact, it doesn't have to be used at all, if developers don't want to.

It doesn't matter, though, we will continue to hear people say "but how will I play my FPS games!!!1!!11" lol

snipermk05986d ago

Well, doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose if natal can be used in conjunction with a controller? Cos the last time I remember M$ saying natal is a "controller-less" solution.

Bubbles_Kitty_Cat5986d ago (Edited 5986d ago )

No, it doesn't.

People are trying to make it sound like it's "all or nothing" when discussing Natal (in an attempt to dismiss it) but the reality is that it is not just a motion control device.

It's voice and facial recognition capabilities could allow it to be used for that, while the player controls his character with the traditional controller.

There are many possible ways that Natal could end up being used in a game, and controlling the character on screen doesn't have to be one of them.

If used in the right ways, it truly has the potential to make playing video games a much more emotional experience (as we briefly saw with the "Milo" footage).

Whether or not that happens is all down to the developers, in the end, but it sounds like Microsoft is pushing them hard to be creative with it, so I think we are going to see some very cool things being done with it.

aaron58295986d ago (Edited 5986d ago )

The reason i play videogames, is because i wanna relax... after stress from work... after working out and stuff like that... i would just love to sit down on my nice sofa, an ice cold beer.. and play the games... with minimal movements on my part.

Even playing fps on a pc with a mouse.. has become a chore for me... call me lazy.. but.. i've grown to love the controller more for any type of games....

Bubbles_Kitty_Cat5986d ago

"Even playing fps on a pc with a mouse.. has become a chore for me"

lol, is this a picture of you?

morganfell5986d ago (Edited 5986d ago )

That sounds good Madden but if you think the camera is accurate enough to detect finger trigger pulling from a hand then you fail to understand the current state of MOCAP technology. With bare hands and no attachments or sensors I can assure you it isn't going to pick up finger movement while a person is moving their hand and they will be moving their hand.

Some people like me have plenty of space but the fact is most do not. And try using a sensor mat on carpet. Wait, now it has to be a rigid piece of material you can hop up and down on in anger? How big? Sorry, that won't work.

And it would be better if the PS3 and brian crecente were never in the same article ever unless a console was falling from a story shelf and hitting him in the head.

aaron58295986d ago

LOL.. that's funny...

what i meant to say was.. i dont enjoy playing games with mouse and keyboards anymore...

no thank you company developing this. my house is full of wii peripherals, and guitar hero/rock band stuff. no machine gun thanks.

ian725986d ago

The Time Crisis gun works well on the fps part of the game. Needs some getting used to though. Just like using a dualshock (same controls, 2 thumbsticks and all buttons) but can aim anywhere on screen. Good idea IMO, but not many seemed to like it.
More games should be made to utilise the gun-con as at the moment only Time Crisis 4 uses it.

dazzalfc5986d ago

With the Wand coming out, there's very little point in using the Gun anymore, as the Wand+PSeye will be able to do whatever the gun could, and more

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G1026d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood1026d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G1026d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade1025d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty1026d ago (Edited 1026d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality1026d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator1025d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G1025d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy851026d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai1026d ago (Edited 1026d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G1026d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo1026d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg1026d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast1025d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
