What game are these people who claim that LP2 has bad textures, screen tearing, framerate issues?
I have noticed some "teleporting" from AI in the one level.
But it's hardly indicative of the whole game!
Game plays great! Controls ate just different!
It's like not bad at all...though I'm one of the few who easily adapts to controls.
Too Human wasn't even a deal breaker for me.
Action is good...
Oh....AI is weak on normal...but Hard is quite good.
One thing I like is you can actually get behind enemies without them auto-swiveling to shoot you! Seriously, how many games have we played that have enemies with eyes in the back of their heads!!!
Reviews are opinions and these IGN and GI reviewers are way off!
I can see where they might've faltered though - its a slower TPS than Unch2 and it has no aim-assit (set to off on default...mp com...
I've been playing LP2 for 2hrs now.....it's really good! The co-op missions are just perfect bite size length...play a few in less than 30mins!
Controls are very customizable...so that can be scratched off the stupid reviews you might've read.
Faction mode....is everything MAG should've been but isn't. Sure LP2 faction mode is only 16 plyrs max (8vs8)...but the maps are just right size from the few i've played. You gain exp in all ...
First, who would've called Bungie going to Activision even only as a publishing partner 2 days ago?! Wow
But I'm actually thinking now about how Bungie can compete on the PS3...against the first party devs? I have no doubt that they could do it....but not if they must maintain a multiplat game. Uncompressed HD textures like Unch2 or GOW3 take alot of space on a Blu-ray! I mean. sure you could compress the textures but that creates another workload on the RSX or GPU (PS3/360)... ...
Well, Activision's alledged treatment of staff at IW and withholding due royalties is certainly a large factor in the quality of support of MW2.
The game is fun...at first, before the hacks, glitches and exploits were the norm.
You have to ask yourself - If you work or are thinking of working for Activsion....with the way they treated Devs through the last 5 years, its not heart warming!
Sadly, Activsion can drag this on forever...royalties may never get...
I watched this footage and this isn't what you are all thinking.
Sure it's horrible and information wasn't properly gathered. They should have verified weapons before shooting.
But none of us were there - looking at a snap shot of 6mins worth of video is nearly pointless.
For one, soldiers need to be heartless. I don't need to explain that do I? They can't pause for remorse or over consider every situation...the window of figuring out whether those bags had act...
Pound for pound bfbc2 is a more fufilling game.
But, I do wish they'd steal mw2's callsigns.
@ mortalrage
yeah....and those same 12mill will have to pay that $15 they currently pay on MMO's on PLUS another $15 for ONlive.
Their are things that could be done to attract users - like if say Blizzard announce WoW2 only on ONlive....that'd be something.
But those kinds of chances would never take place with such a money pit as WoW.
And really, that's the kind of marketing Onlive would need to get in on the current holy trinities action.
...
so here it comes.
But mark my words this will fail HUGE!!!
facts:
-pay for your internet per norm (nice bandwidth required like 5mbps - 7mbps)
-pay for ONlive sub @ $15 per month
-pay to play game
-pay for rental games
-server crashes and lag issues (servers go down for maintenance...no games for you!)
This is the gaming future. This is what Sony's Cloud is all about too.
But tech isn't stable enough, with enough bandwidth for the...
Oh...I just thought of a way to actually ACTUALLY have a all DL future.
The consoles would have to all have every bit of code or at least a substantial amount of code already in place at launch. The Devs could cook up their games to compile the data into a game...This would solve everything including creativity and proprietary dev/publisher IP's.
FAIL
Or Cloud/ONlive......where you don't actually own a console but rather a device that reads data from the...
I'll be brief....
MS are blowing smoke. Digital Dl's are far far away.
I know what you are thinking - we're doing it right now! It's super fast! It's great to not have to go to retail!
But here's the rub...where do you live? There is a whole market of owners of the 360 that either don't have internet/want internet or their bandwidth in their host countries/states/provinces/res erves etc suck!
Then we have the issue of uprooting an entire industry. ...
Honestly, I think it was indeed that IW's contract is up in October. So these two were probably floating ideas to sell a new IP to a rival publisher. Could've been Ubisoft for all we know. But MS or Sony are possiblities to. Even EA....misdirection is a funny mistress.
But using company time, resources (even if it was a comped lunch), and spending any time on none Activision related stuff is a big no no.
Ironically, if IW staff decide to all jump ship together and le...
Ok... soooo hyped! Watched vid......
I really don't want to come across as a internet fool who over analyzes and expects the world from my beloved franchises.
But this isn't good people. I own both consoles. I bought Halo 3 CE day 1! I'm a huge fan of Bungie as devs and of Halo. Sh!t I've read all the novels!!!
But, this just looks waaaaaay too similar to Halo 3. Yes, we all want our games to be innovative and new, yet still retain the feel and style/loo...
Hey guys. I was having a very similar question just yesterday with a buddy of mine. He's a 360 only guy, getting ready to jump ship.
Anyhow, we got to thinking - what can MS do with the "720"?
Their DVD format is obsolete in comparison and direct DL's are not viable if they want to sell globally. Hell, many places in NA are not equipped to allow 6-8Gb's of data to be downloaded. Not to mention increased bandwidth would kill providers which would turn the co...
@ divideby0
Actually this is exactly the opposite of splitting the community.
Dice has confirmed that all maps will be free....all DLC maps.
Precisely the definition in this context of keeping the community together. New modes will be DLC and charged to us.
I think this is the best DLC idea for FPS's in a long time.
Whether it works remains to be seen. If EA sees significant loss (ie - nobody buys the new modes), then future releases will simple go ...
This crap?
Is this US only? I called EBgames in Canada and they say they know nothing yet.
Not really surprised as they never know much at any of the locations I've frequented over the years.
I have bio2 , mass2 & racket crack to trade...so I could net serious coin! Lol
can I trade in via the US website?
I had this game for my 360. Don't sell it short...it was a lot of fun and when you get a team going well...its cool.
But the single player was sooo pointless - a training exercise at best.
What I'm curious about is the price.....as a $19.99 DL its a good deal.
I made sure I got my $60 when I had it....but I ultimately traded it for $40....so I lost about what I'd feel its worth.
So true! But it seems like FPS's are the mainstay of console gaming.
Who here though thinks the move stop turn move while running is good? I'm not looking for MW2 - in fact I'm selling it tomorrow as trade in. But, the running is odd.
Or what's up with the wobbling while moving.... It seems horribly exaggerated
All I read was M24 unlock if you owned BC2 & new MOH for MOH. That right? Big deal!
But lets say you are into that sort of completion/collecting....would n't you be the type to buy it new anyways?
Besides, I sold back my BC2 a month or so ago for $45....not bad, never gotten better. (BestBuy)
So meh, not all that put out by this.
