There is a lot of destructibility in Operation Metro. Just no buildings falling down. However, there will be eight more maps in the full release.
As for BF3 being a glorified MOH:
*sigh*
Operation Metro is 1 map. Out of 9.
If Black Ops had a beta and the only map they let you play was Nuketown, how many people would still have bought the game?
Grow up, children.
For the life of me, I can't see how this game is going to be any good.
Like it only exists to make Arkham City look even better.
There ARE more indie games on XBox but that may have something to do with Microsoft's policy saying if a game isn't published by them first, they reserve the right to never put it on the platform.
That's where this controversy started.
Didn't you hear the rule now that every game has to be an ultra, mega, record-breaking success or else it is an abysmal failure?
Sony turned down Super Meat Boy because they "didn't get it". So now that the game is successful, Team Meat refuses to put the game on PSN.
"Debriefing" from MGS3 is one of my favorite pieces of game music ever.
It's...so...epic.
The single player and co-op are probably locked by this point.
This is a test for the multiplayer so they can work out the kinks and start the process of balancing the game that will continue to take place long after the launch.
DICE is pretty good with that.
Activision is the worst kind of publisher, though.
The kind that treats its developers like crap (Harmonix, Infinity Ward, and Bizzarre Creations to name a few).
The kind that forces its developers to toil on games they may not want to do.
The kind that squeezes every last drop from a franchise until nothing is left.
But they make Call of Duty so it all works out for them in the end.
I'm glad to see they are still supporting it. Some games bomb and the company doesn't even bother fixing it post launch.
That was directed at you, Sega.
My point exactly. I remember MW2 was atrocious for the first month with the amount of patches and glitch fixes.
Black Ops was the same way. I have never been kicked from a game as much as I was in the two weeks I had the game.
With as much money as Activision makes with CoD, why they do not spend a few weeks beta testing their games is beyond me.
I guess we'll have to wait until the MW3 beta to fully compare the two.
Betas are great. With a beta, a game can at least be partially tested before launch and developers can have the chance to work on the game so it doesn't get released full of bugs and glitches and take multiple patches to even be playable.
There IS going to be a CoD beta this year, right?
Nice! The first one was a blast.
Shank contained a bit of the ol' ultra violence I always crave.
The author of the video missed the Metal Gear Mk. II rolling by @ :41.
Nice touch, Sony!
My guess is they will be charging for different masks.
I would pay a pretty penny for some Ex-Presidents masks like in Point Break.
I don't think Nintendo will go out of business but they are asking people to care about things like native resolution and frame rate which the average consumer doesn't. Nintendo also has to prove that they can handle a robust online network something they haven't really done yet.
If Nintendo releases the WiiU at a price point significantly higher than the current PS and Xbox (or Sony and Microsoft drop price to combat Nintendo's release date), it might be a d...
I should hope a console released in 2012 is superior to ones released in 2005 & 2006. The question is, will anyone care? The WiiU will be more expensive than PS3 and 360 and is really just a stopgap before the next Microsoft and Sony consoles are released.
I may be wrong, but I think Nintendo is about to learn the same lessons Sony did this gen.
In the hardest way possible.
Hackers were using OtherOS to get inside the PS3 architecture and sharing their progress with others online. When Sony removed it to protect their system, those same hackers tried to pass the blame of its removal from them onto Sony. "The big, evil corporation is trying to infringe on your rights, etc".
CS: GO will have Dualshock, Move, and mouse & keyboard support.
Overhyped? Not even close.
Battlefield doesn't have a marketing deal with Jeep, a convention, or a monthly membership.
The king of hype will always be Call of Duty.
