And if Spielberg's involved, you can expect to see aliens in there somewhere....
I really like what I'm hearing so far. Keep it up, DICE.
This is the true definition of 'improvement' and 'going forward' with a new game, unlike some other developer who just *cough* rehash their previous game *cough*cough*.
And Claudia Black's voice is perfect for Morrigan. I didn't know it was her until I went to imdb.com, reminds me of the Farscape days.
Surprising? Not really. This is a run-of-the-mill MP. The only reason so many people are playing it now is because it's newly released. Let the hype die down and wait a few months, you'll see the figures tumbling rather rapidly.
COD4 was a refreshing change for the series, it even felt like a totally different game from it's predecessors. MW2 however, is more like a rehash than a sequel, not too bad but not worthy in the eyes of the previous game.
Improved MP? With the "new achivements" or the "3rd person mode"? Or is it the "smaller maps, less players" formula that people who suck at COD4 seem to enjoy? Maybe it's the "Death Streak"(lol). The "predator drone" is hardly an improvement.
Just because it's a sequel doesn't mean it has to be similar in everything. The continuity of the story was more than enough to warrant a "sequel"-tag. And the "new" Breac...
I'm serious. They ARE better devs. Who else can make a complete rehash of their previous shooter game, charge $10 more, remove vital contents and still manage to get you guys to pay for it? Say Hello to pay2play now. I'm willing to bet you even think that's "new".
IW are the better devs. Why? Because they're clever.
They fooled millions of people into thinking that MW2 is a "new" game. Hell, they even did it with less game content and with a $60 price tag. Is that clever or what?
And I suppose you're among those willing to put up with pay-to-play COD online?
....except for MW2 PC version. What a piece of crap-bag that was....
Wow, that's got to be a record of some kind. Now the pirates are gonna be enjoying lag-free dedicated server goodness.
I definitely don't feel sorry for IW, and especially not for those who bought the game and are currently playing with 200+ pings. Serves em' right.
SP was decent enough. MP was a letdown, considering there were less players and more lag with smaller maps. It's absolutely NOT the "second best FPS of 2009", I assure you that. In fact, it doesn't even cut my top 5 of 2009.
Did he mean the console version? PC score was always 8.5.....i don't get it. BTW, the game doesn't suck that bad, but definitely doesn't deserve anything more than 8.0/10.
You had your chance with the RE franchise, and you screwed up bad. Please don't ruin MGS too. Stay away.
We told you so, didn't we? "Don't buy the game, or else they'll continue bringing up bullc**p stuff." we said. But did you listen? NOOOO. You went and bought the game, now look what you get.
I'm willing to bet most of those who bought this game are willing to put up with pay2play-online as well. Now you see why they're not afraid to f**k with us?
Knowing Kotick's milking ways it's probably true.
And after that, it will be "COD: Capt.Price".
A year later, "COD: Soap McTavish".
Next "COD: Ramirez comes back from the dead".
Next "COD: Makarov & Shepherd - Arm Wrestling"
A few months later, "COD vs Mortal Kombat".
Overuse of bloom and overbright effects don't mean good graphics. The car details and the trees look crap even considering it is a linear shooter with small maps. NPCs have an over-glossy look which I hate(oooh....shiny). The only thing well detailed are the guns.
Story - 9.5 (Solid. Just like the first, albeit short)
Presentation - 8.5 (Very tense and thrilling)
Gameplay - 8.0 (Nothing major, but still fast and tight)
Graphics - 7.5 (Not that good. Only slightl...
They should've done it a long time ago, but now it's too late. They're tainted with the dark sin of Activision and there's no going back.
That's a fair score for the console versions. But they're gonna lose credibility if they give anything more than 8.0 for the PC version.
That's because there are no improvements from the first. It sold well because of the hype created by the success of the first game. You'll see when the hype dies down.
GFWL is mostly useless in games, and in some cases, actually becomes a hindrance to the game. Microsoft shouldn't have made it if they were gonna shift their priorities to the 360 anyway. I hope it dies out soon, it's so annoying with little to no support from the creators.
