honestly cant believe avp beat out battlefield for 3rd, it really should be doing some advertising, some of my friends havent even heard of the franchise (yes, i mean the "battlefield" franchise, not just "bad company") :S, they are mostly playing mw2 still
and whats the problem with fps' as the top played genre...NA has the largest number of consoles sold out of the other territories, and it just so happens that the western side love fps'
btw, if...
i usually end the round with top 3 score on my team or of the game, and thats only cause i use everything in my arsenal and not just the bullets...is there a lot of ppl on the mics in a ps3 game, cause amazingly enough, i find a rare amount of players that actually use the mics in squads in a 360 game, anyone i come across that has one including myself are usually dumbfounded as to why ppl use it on mw2, but not on the bfbc2 demo/beta when you would need it more :S
for myself, wi...
@Syronicus 1.7 - "It is my recollection that all games online have glitches. It's impossible for a developer to rid a game of all glitches no matter if they hold a beta or not."
not completely sure about this, but i believe halo 3 multiplayer shipped without a single glitch, i personally found halo 2's superjumps to be amusing, but when searching for halo 3 glitches (awhile ago) i came up with nothing to exploit
1.12 - "Many of those who have given up ...
only cause its multiplat...i think if killzone or halo was multiplat it would have easily over shadowed call of duty's success
i loved halo 2 more than halo 3 multiplayer for some reason, but i did also enjoy the times i did play halo 3 even after dropping the game for a few months
my friend was into halo until cod4 came out, then stuck with mw2 cause halo became too hard for him, he has a huge ego and winning only counts for him (even if he isnt helping the team win in dom only going for kills) which is why he stuck with mw2, much easier for him to win a game in that than in a halo 2/3 game

i like to think of ODST now as a test of some new features they have some experience in now. for example, open world exploration and firefight
in a recent interview with someone (lmao, sorry for that extremely vague description) i read about bungie being asked about firefight and if it would be in REACH, the reply went something like "i cant confirm or deny that just yet, but we usually dont throw away anything valuable"
i would like to believe that firefig...
i think it might have been the "im not buying a game to play the beta" comment :S
in any case, i have a feeling that it would be an "timed-unlocked" feature on the odst disk itself previously coded or something, anyone know how the original halo 3 beta went out with the crackdown disk? its prolly similar
i personally think that once the beta is available, there will be a new option in the odst menu specifically for REACH beta...and you prolly only...
as in? and as opposed to whos cast of unique enemies?
i think the brutes were always there, but didnt take command till the elites became a disgrace to the prophets
i wouldnt expect flood, seeing as how they were still unknown in halo ce...until the actual level they were revealed
the cinematic on teh dead marine that MC viewed, appeared to be that they [flood] were unknown to them [marines]till then, so no prior knowledge
but yea, im looking for a tough fight on legendary mode...i mean, with possibly 9 spartans (5 ai and 4 coop, unless they make 1 [host]spartan III and rest [3 coop] are marines, which wouldnt really make sense ...
BUUTTT...no thank you for comparing a completed 360 game with an unfinished 360 game, especially pre alpha screens :S lol
@cyguration - nope, shaman is correct, according to bungie, those screens were pre alpha from before thanksgiving last year..atleast the ones in that article were
did you see the recent vidoc? some things were added, textures were replaced, lighting improved(?) a bit, not as dark as some of those daytime pics and more colorful, but not over doing it
@jessupj
well sometimes canada isnt even part of "north american" deals, lol
wow...that was amazing, props to the audio design, seems like they took a page out of bf's books and took ear deafening grenades audio, i loved it in bfbc, feels like it adds to the experience, and visually speaking, its looking real nice, especially the animations
btw, kudos to everyone keeping it civil on both sides (at least from what ive skimmed through in the first thread of comments, lol)
EDIT: btw, did you guys notice the grenade launcher? :O
IF, and this is a big IF, ms is losing money on a pay online service, wouldnt that mean that ps3 would be losing even more money for a free service?
this seems totally made up
yea i think he was expecting a third person adventure game for halo reach :S seriously, anyone that says "more of the same" for a sequel or prequel to a series obviously has gotten the wrong definition of the words
i honestly wonder what some of these ppl expect in a sequel or prequel if not an addition to the series...a completely new story involving new characters in a completely new environment that was not previously mentioned in, in this case, the halo universe?
yep...new, used, borrowed or stolen, all you need is the odst disk itself and you should be able to play when the beta is releases
many ppl bought it just for the beta...lol, some use it to justify the price of odst as well
btw, you NEED odst disk to participate in it...only way known as of now, no talks of a public beta yet
i think it may be both...if every odst owner is in the beta, then that means at least a million players
but on top of that, i remember bungie saying that the beta also has a single and coop demo campaign with i think 3 lvls (3 lvls is speculation because edge, i think it was, was talking about the 3 different lvls they got to try out when they did their spread awhile back)
i think, personally at least, that they were talking about the beta being "largest" i...
i was confused when i saw that...i downloaded it, but havent tried it out yet
