Have to see how MAG and Halo ODST turn out as well as if Killzone 2 gets larger maps & vehicles as well as updates.
@LeonSKennedy4Life below:
Will never doubt IW's abilities. They are a quality outfit and consistently improve on previous works. Even if it turns out to be a MW 1.5, it'll still be one of the best shooters out there because MW got so much of the basics right - plus Ps3 owners finally get rumble for a MW game. Hooorah.
compare that to the 100+ square km of OFP2 which has less players but usable air/land vehicles.
Problem with KZ2 - and maybe MAG by the sounds of it - is the maps on whole are small and have too many bottlenecks for the max numbers playing.
It will be nothing like Warhawk which is one of the best online MP out there.
Warhawk is so accessible with all weapons and vehicles available to do what you want and on huge maps.
MAG has more players on smaller maps with only limited use of land vehicles and Ai controller air vehicles.
Zipper should have based this game on BF2(PC) or warhawk which they didn't. It will essentially be a socom game in first person.
I always though a rifle magazine when I heard it until told it was an acronym.
As for it being a mix of socom and warhawk. No way. There's very little to MAG include warhawk as a desciption.
Warhawk has huge maps with freely usable land/air vehicles. MAG has maps no bigger than 1 square km and limited land vehicles only.
MAG will be like Socom in first person and 256 players. nothing like warhawk.
when I heard MAG has max size map of 1 square km in comparison.
Hope CM pulls this off because it could be epic like Arma2 should also be. Looking forward more for Arma2 though as it's being made by the original OFP developers and has usable jet planes, motorbikes and ..... push bikes
CoD WaW
CoD MW
CoD MW2
CoD Fall of Saigon
etc.
We all know that MW2 is as much a CoD game as WaW so MW2 shouldn't loose its roots.
Apple would rule hand held gaming with a dedicated(with proper controls) iTouch for gaming.
please let it not be so.
been looking forward to this little beauty.
oh, well. just get it perfected.
apart from the 256 players, what's in that list that would clearly put it ahead of Cod4 or Halo let alone what we expect of MW2 or know from OFP2, Arma 2 or BF:BC2.
I am a Sony fan and was looking forward to this game but it's getting way overhyped.
It will be a good game but apart from the number playing and better graphics, nothing shows it will be better than cod4 or mw2(which will be better than the original).
lmfao
map size 1 square km. Wis...
lmfao
Looking forward to this and the proposed Arma 2. Pity no fixed wing aircraft though.
The Bill Murry's VO I saw a month or so ago in the Hotel scene gameplay is appalling.
Sony should be should've been put more effort in getting ports of L4D, ME2 or Gears 3.
M$ is still the evil one.
From a Linux fan, using firefox on a freespire PC.
Awesome that the great publisher like EA could have the audacity. I'm confident they will come close if not pull it off.
With games like BF2, Dead Space, Orange Box, BF:BC etc....
....this should be a breeze. Just a matter now of choosing the right developer.
If they use BF2(PC) as the main template or copy, modify, adapt & improve the best shooters out there, then they won't fail.
Bring it indeed.
I want this more than any other game info at E3.
"Sony reveals that there will be a new motion-controller in Q4 and IW, Zipper, Santa Monica Studios have have had the h/w specs for the last 2 months and will have their games ready to use it on their release."

Oh, how much better MW2 would be with a controller like this.
... unless MAG has the same or better gameplay of the original MW. But still should be a good shooter like KZ2.
IW will definitely improve MW with the sequel or be complete idiots not to.
Plus MAG will be going against OFP2 with it's large open world map and multitude of weapons and fully usable vehicles.
Now that it's been confirmed that the vehicles are mainly AI and primarily for spawning or capture, I'm losing interest in this game.
Zi...
Even if I had a real weighty shotgun or Heavy machine gun in my hand, I can still do a precise 180 degree turn fast - not slow as in KZ2.
Try it. The controls simply suck and need to be made like all other
FPS.
Apparently yes.
Neither Sony nor GG said KZ was a Halo killer.
Ok?
Halo is a great game and has a huge fanbase.
KZ2 is a good game but not great like Halo nor will ever have the fanbase. It's not quite better than CoD4 but could by making the controls like all other shooters, getting rid of the spawn flare and have spawn zones, redoing and making the rankings harder, add more weapons and have vehicles(jeep, tank, intruder, mech). Then MW...
@king dong2
I've been on this site for over a year and it is obvious there's at least as many 360 fans as Ps3.
Problem is the the xfanboys love doing fantom disagrees and stealing bubbles, maliciously- especially those who don't have a ps3 but always seem to be commenting in the Ps3 section.
Also, you will get more reward playing Warhawk online than R2 or KZ2. Warhawk online MP is as good if not better than Halo - simple fun and very addictive in a 16 vs...
I played Halo1 the other day and was wowed again about how RIGHT bungie got everything: slick presentation, the characters and fun team mates, epic settings and moments, mood enhancing music, weapons, vehicles, variety of enemies, good voice acting, solid gameplay. Why oh why don't more developers copy all of these, sheez?
KZ2 is definitely a different game and for a more mature audience. If anything, KZ2 should be compared with CoD4 and GG should have copied what made that gam...
... and requiring more strategy on using and countering the use of vehicles.
Good news if true - usable vehicles.
If you are stupid enough to get caught out in the open against a tank or get run over by a jeep then tough luck noob.
Now Killzone 2, MAG , look and learn. There's a reason why all the big games have fully usable vehicles. Bring them.
