Let's just see if the reviewers are truly unbiased and consistent with their scoring.
Don't forget many Ps3 exclusive games got marked down or denied full marks because of short SP and no innovation or whatever inane reason.
But Gamesradar are a good outfit. Of course, 10/10 doesn't mean a perfect game just a great game.
Just like to see the reviews from Gamespy, Gamespot, GT, IGN, Edge Mag, Destructoid etc and watch them deduct decimal points off the sc...
They do indeed but don't have fully usable vehicles like BC and Warhawk.
They should have and would have been alot better games.
Triple the +XP text size to better resemble MW2.
Damn, you can't miss those kills.
You get a good idea of how the game is progressing.
It's looking very solid.
Just annoyed that you can use a MICV but not a Jeep or tank. Would be so much fun on the large maps with your sqad in two jeeps with .5 cals, heading off to battle and stumbling across a M1 Abrams on the prowl. Flee my pretties, flee...
MW2 is looking good but the games are just too confined with endless respawning.
MAG just needed to be a FPS Warkhawk with modern weapons(including a huge range of small arms, artillery, MLRS, boats, transports, parachutes, UAV, Jets, copters, tanks) and with 256 players. It's closest rival would be BC2 with 24 players.
It could have been completed by now and would likely end up being the king of MP shooters. I mean, Warhawk is easily a better MP experience than MW, BC and even Halo - just doesn't look as good as those games or have all the fancy bells and ...
Don't read these stupid multiplat comparisons. They only perpetuate fanboyism.
Fact is, most developers know how to program both consoles properly now and the only excuse for any crappy or poorer versions of a multiplat is a lazy developer.
So don't read these flame bait comparison posts.
The SP in BC1 was average. It didn't have the cool, epic moments of MW, due mainly to it's story premise. DICE needs to abandon the BC premise for something more serious.
Also, IW shows you don't need characters for a decent SP but if you are going to have them, don't make them stereotypes: token loud mouth black, the nerd, the red-neck clown, and the normal main character - whatever his name is.
I've been watching alot of SP and MP gameplay on Justin.tv.
MW2 is still a very good game and an improvement over CoD4 on a whole. Just not a huge leap forward.
But after enjoying BC1 and Warhawk, can't be bothered with confined urban warfare with no vehicles and countless respawns.
Fully usable vehicles meant maps on the whole where larger. Absolutely hated the small maps that had no vehicles or not tank and copter.
The larger maps also gave more time and options to achieve game objectives.
DICE now just needs to abandon the BC characters for more serious/cooler guys/gals and work on a slick, fun SP mode....as well as bring in more MP modes such as Last man, TDM and capture the flag/intel/prototype.
That's what I always keep saying on N4G.
And yet Sony and others still fail to do these most simple things, which would clearly benefit them if they had.
Still surprised why PC manufactures didn't copy the iMac design - it's just a laptop on a stand. Or why there has been no clone of Halo & Gears made - Resistance could have been a Halo clone but Insomniac chose not to copy. KZ2 could have been made so much better from copying and/improving the successful aspec...
How the frack can UC2 be a "ripoff" of a game(8 days) never released nor any real gameplay shown?
And if ND did copy, who gives a sh*t but the idiot fanboys. All three games are owned by Sony so they can do whatever they want - share whatever they want between their developers.
I just wished ND had copied and improved the Warhawk engine to make 32+ player MP, fully usable vehicles and 4 player split screen available to all Sony developers.
No doubt developers will have the Playmotes specs by now to implement in the future patches so we can use the new controller ... especially aiming in shooters like MAG and BFBC2 and R3.
if it is the "nan and grandad skillsets" that bought millions of cod4, what else do you expect them to do?
Add in laggy controls for weighty realism and trust the shooter fans will like it and buy a boat loads of KZ2, I mean MW2?
It's popular, it works and it sells tons of games.
9/10 is what MW2 deserves.
BTW. I personally hate auto-aim....especially in my beloved Warhawk.
FR will never be forgiven for Haze.
I mean, did they have brain freeze or what?
The small team at Ninja Theory would have been a better buy after their excellent debut on the Ps3 with Heavenly Sword.
Crytek, you get what you paid.
The game seriously needs realistic recoil -- especially when using the iron sights.
A GPMG doesn't remain still when being fired full auto in hand.
Sheez.
So MW2 is better than UC2.
When pigs fly.
idiots.
The KZ2 beta testers should have convinced GG that the spawn flare was stupid -- resulting in regular grenade spam(where's all the F.A.G.S?) and spawn campers.
This is the major flaw of KZ2 MP. Should have just had spawn zones to fight for or mobile spawn points(vehicles or minigun&Heavy armour packs).
IW is very good at creating b*tch'n SP levels. The helicopter beach assault level in MW1 still rocks to this day, or the SAS assault on the cargo ship.
if DICE where to make their SP levels as fun and cool, then you could finally say goodbye to MW.
...we can now shoot the chickens.
