hmm, ive seen footage of "kill confirmed" and known about its premise for awhile now, but only now have i realized that its kinda like the headhunter gametype in halo reach
and just an FYI to those thinking im bashing MW3, im not saying IW stole the gametype (cause alot of games have gametypes inspired by some other gametype...ie the multiple versions of "survival" gametypes like horde or zombies) im just saying that i just realized that right now
@lonecastaway - the 2-3 cycle i was talking about wasnt developing cycle, i was talking about the release cycle...its true, CoD series itself is kinda like 2 separate series , but activision is still selling a game every year and basically the same ppl buy the game every year with a couple new adopters with each one
difference is call of duty gets released every year while uncharted and gears have a 2-3 year cycle
yes, both have minor, but enough changes made throughout each iteration, but the yearly release of CoD games is what most "haters" gripe about, at least its what i hate most about cod games
it wasnt CoD's popularity that ruined the genre, it was activision taking advantage of that popularity and its fanbase that ruined the genre
free as in free to download and play, but pay if you want to have an advantage over free players
@jobesy - prolly cause the 360 didnt come with an hd dvd drive out of the box, so if they used hd dvd's for games, it would have alienated tons of ppl
new words get added to the dictionary all the time. just because they weren't there at the time you were learning any specific language, doesn't take away from the fact that it may now be a word in present time
wow, thats news to me...didnt know killzone 3, socom 4 and resistance 3 were all move exclusive games
i believe its coop online and offline, but only limited to 2 players max and not 4 players
im going to assume that this is for using kinect for skype on pc (yes i know skype isnt on xbox...yet)
considering that MS finalize acquiring skype a month or 2 ago, i would also assume that skype will be integrated into xbox 360 live and why not just wait till that happens? im sure kinect would be fully functional for it as both webcam and mic
i may be completely wrong here, but i believe the purpose for foregrips are to increase accuracy through stability, not for comfort...but again, i could be wrong
he talked about it a couple warzones ago, he did get submission banned from n4g, but apparently there wasnt a reason given to him...i think he still does it, its just on his site, not n4g anymore
it seems like forza games are on 2 year cycles (along with other AAA games out there) so im kinda curious as to where you get "yearly updates" from
@taratino_life
one can argue that with more being put in the engine and/or features, the graphics sometimes takes a backseat (whether it be for time restraints, or resource limitations) and therefore doesnt look as good as a game that focuses on the graphics and not so much on the engine and/or features
apart from your comparison of games being in the same genre, the art style of each are so different they cannot be compared
for example.
crackdowns art style from the very beginning was to portray a comic book art style (which i think it pulled off well) while infamous was more of a realistic art style (which also was pulled off well)
halo's (the game, which differs from imagery in the novels) art style was a colorful and clean futuristic type, w...
what i saw was 84 seconds of footage and only about 7 seconds of it was possible gameplay...however, the cutscene and story look compelling
i feel i need to point a couple things out here...
1. there are a lot of ppl camping, because with this being an OPEN beta, every person is allowed to play the game, including (and im generalizing on a broad sense) CoD players...the players playing now, DO NOT make up the type of ppl that would be playing the final game
2. this beta (console version, cause that seems to be the common topic for this comment thread) does not give the full bf experience, no vehi...
kinda odd..the subway part, it looked like the 360 versions color was washed out, but outdoors in the sun it looked like the ps3 versions color was washed out
i wouldnt say pass the game completely (and i personally havent played CoD since 4) i would just say to the majority not to get it on launch day...either give it a couple weeks to see how others react to it or wait till it gets a price drop to make a statement
@sockeyboy - i kinda doubt you can spoil the first terminal (except for the ppl that "go dark") cause even 343 and waypoint showed the first terminal in a vid
@darkblood - not all terminals are about halo 4, but 343i did say that some will reveal clues about halo 4's story
