"Do Valve and Novalogic still maintain a network and server running for old games that they are not making any profits on."
Yes they do...Check out Novalogics library when you get the chance...I was playing the games in middle school..Ive now graduated college and I can still play them, free..online..DF1 is still able to play for free online...I doubt you could even find that game still in a store..
"Seriously.... though I don't have a problem payi...
believe me, 16 to each team is more than enough..Especially when you have people flying around in the Warhawks..
Actually dude...when I played 1.6 and just about EVERYONE I knew...We used the All Seeing Eye which found player servers..This is before Valve, before you had the Valve server list..And I dare say Valve right now has more people logging into their network searching for games than Live has and they are still giving you free P2P..MS can do it dude, and you know that, don't try to justify something that has no grounds. Please there really is no justification..Hell even Nova Logic has CRAP TONS o...
do you read what you write before you post it??
you cant put aside that the company behind it is Microsoft...Why?? Because this is the company that started charging for something that was free long before they got into gaming..They cant come right out the door and start charging for Live PC because they know that would fall right on its ass...But start free...then start slowly getting it to become the standard...Now charge, nothing says they cannot do that. In fact every online game you play tells you online play is subject to change at an...
MS's attempt at putting everyone under the live umbrella...then charging once again for P2P a service that was free for ages...Valve will go to war with MS before they let it happen I think
you know if you just dont respond to him he will eventually go read a book or something...Children hate when you act as if they are not there..
not everyone is doing that.....I already expressed my opinion on this game earlier in this thread...Id rather they dont bring it to the PS3 if they dont fix the whole hallway shooting stuff and get more than a handful of dudes on the screen...Feel like you play the game in a 4x4 box...
personally I think Gears looks good but people are so easily fooled...You play the game in 5 feet of space in front of you and side to side for almost every level..They really put you in these hallways or hallway like environments for the whole game so they can get those pretty graphics without slowing down the game. Not to mention fighting like 5 dudes on screen is kinda lame. Its a decent game, but I think people got fooled hardcore in just how much of an achievement it really was. I think ...
yea cause Sony has no game franchises that are beyond Halo...You know, like MGS, FF, GT series, God of War (which was a top selling game in the next gen era on a LAST GEN CONSOLE)...You know none of those are beyond or on par with the Halo Franchise...
I like how you're predicting scores for games that haven't even come out yet...If that's not fanboy, I dunno what is...Besides just because one game before it in a series was good or sucked doesnt mean the latter will follow suit...Look at Devil May Cry 1 and Devil May Cry 2...then realize why what you're doing is nothing more than blind faith, a blind faith that history has proven can lead to disaster...
I downloaded both the KZ2 and COD4 trailer off PSN Store and to be honest. The KZ trailer looks more impressive. Same TV, both downloaded from the PSN Store...
hmm when it was announced that PS3 would get Madden and NCAA at 30fps, the fanboys came out the woodwork...But it's ok now??? Hmm, glad I wasnt the only one that seen the mindset of a hypocrite...You just made nice about it = P
you are aware counter strike 1.6 (older than your xbox) was doing this before Halo right?? Its not a new concept...not in the least bit...I like how if MS institutes something in their game or Live service it becomes Awesome and New even if its years older than even their first console and was being offered at no charge...Thats like repackaging Koolaid, raising the price and hyping it because of its new container...
There is a lawyer in Florida working on a class action lawsuit against MS...You may hear about it soon enough
You guys like to throw around that term "Proven"...But honestly seem like the lot of you are hypocrites...Because the COMPANY SONY is a PROVEN VIDEO GAME COMPANY. But fanboys had NO PROBLEM crucifying them for not living up to expectations this Generation. And it showed in their sales..They tried to ride that "Proven" BS like you are defending for Halo. And they messed up. If Halo 3 doesn't bring anything memorable or new to the game this time around. I promise you Halo 4 ...
except Sony does more than Video games...and its going to take more than the PS3 to Bankrupt Sony...Same could not have been said for Sega at the time..
I still have my original PS2...learn to take care of your stuff...If you purchase the same product every three years, shouldnt it have dawned on you by now, that the problem is not the product...But your inability to take care of anything??
cause Live coined Peer to Peer playing...Personal Messages...and Buddy Lists...Get real...PC's were enjoying your "Live Experience" for FREE many years before your Xbox existed...
shhh he doesnt know what that means...you're gonna make him go read something
