Totally with you on this. As a sniper, your number one target is other snipers. I don't play it much any more, but I don't recall Bad Company 2 having loads of players roaming all over the map one-shotting people with sniper rifles. You tend to set up camp in a decent spot, take out people on turrets and watch for other snipers.
But Brink looks like a close-quarters game mostly so I'm sure the sniper class won't be missed.

I might be wrong, but wasn't this a typo? And in fact it was £64 a month on Xbox 30 generally, whether boxed games, XBLA, DLC, films or whatever? How could anyone possibly find enough content to buy £64 a month?? I consider myself to be pretty typical of there demographic (I'm 30, full time employed, have a social life) and I rarely spend more than a couple of quid on XBLA each month. I probably buy a game a month, and maybe rent a game a month too. That's it.

I wouldn't use the Daily Mail to wipe my ass on, it's a filthy rag of a newspaper, read by morons who don't know how to think for themselves. They print lies, racism and right-wing rhetoric that sparks fear in the minds of the ignorant.

This game looks AMAZONG :-)! I'd better get my affairs in order cos when this comes out I won't be seeing daylight for a month. Seriously for those who haven't experienced Demon's Souls - get it if you have a PS3, the hype around this game really isn't for nothing. It'll get inside your head and stay there for a really loooong time.

Argh! I actually still need to finish Demon's Souls! Got right to the blue dragon on the US version, then sold it a...

@qface64 - No, normally we have a recommended retail price (RRP), which is usually the maximum charged. For instance the RRP on most games is £49.99, but most places charge £39.99 or less. It's so they can say that you're saving a certain percentage when in reality everyone is charging roughly the same. Looks like Ninty are doing away with the RRP for the 3DS, so consumers will be royally shafted by the retailers who are probably rubbing their grubby hands with glee, especia...

I've been a lifelong Nintendo fanboy, but the shitty way they have treated loyal European gamers in the last few years has pissed me off. This is the latest turd they've pinched off in the shit-stew and I'm seriously annoyed. I'm sure they have plenty of "research" that tells them that Europeans are willing to pay more for stuff like this (as is the usual reason they trot out when trying to justify the higher European prices), but why the hell should we be screwed li...

I dunno, I think Yvonne looks incredibly similar to Miranda, only with blonde hair. She's pretty damn hot. Thanks for the name WhiteNoise! I'm playing through ME2 for the first time at the moment and Miranda has been giving me funny feelings... :)

They were just helping a guy decide what games to buy with his new ps3. Read the posts before getting on your high horse.

Since when is Europe socialist? Last time I checked I live in a democracy.
But if democracies had no socialist tendencies you end up in a situation where the rich get richer, the poor stay poor and there are huge inequalities that no one gives a shit about.
Hmm, sounds like I just described a certain large country just across the pond... Luckily Obama is doing something about and dragging you all towards a SOCIALIST healthcare system where everyone has a right to be treate...

A lot of games have been ditching the typical friday release and going for a Tuesday or Wednesday in the past few years, I guess to make the first week sales look a little better? Who knows. I don't see why we Europe should have to wait those extra few days.

Saying that, it's nearly a year away, but that last week will feel the longest...

Ugh, who keeps submitting these non-English sites? Don't German speakers have their own version of N4G? And I'm not saying that in a xenophobic or racist way, it's just impractical to have these stories here. Plus, how awful was that page? I could barely even see the words, let alone translate them.

Father Ted, Black Books, Inbetweeners, The IT Crowd, plus hundreds of other brilliant programmes accessible via 4OD's back catalogue. Awesomeness! Why doesn't the Beeb offer older programmes through the iPlayer? I'd love to be able to get older episodes of Doctor Who on my PS3.
This is only good news. I was going to catch up on the last few episodes of Any Human Heart on my laptop tonight, but now I'll eb able to watch them on my 40" screen in surround sound! Sup...

"Every exclusive game that ever came out on the system, and every game that came out on the PS2, Xbox & GC defined that generation as a whole."

Well duh. Way to state the obvious. That IS the generation.

I think this gen has been great so far, plenty of awesome games that will be considered masterpieces forever have been released. Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Fallout 3, Halo3 and Reach, Uncharted 1 & 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (lov...

I'm pretty sure it'll just be running standard PC games, won't it? It doesn't need a dev to make games especially for it. That's the whole point.

I think it's incredibly interesting, but unless the prices of the hardware and software reflect the fact that you will only ever be renting games, effectively, then it will bomb. Digital sales need to be priced competitively against retail or people will just buy new and sell, or buy second hand.

Ha! That it looked like he barely flicked it but it went across the whole map like a frisbee in Wii Sports Resort. For games so aimed at realism (graphically) this is stupid and anachronistic.

And isn't that ultimately what Treyarch were trying to get you to do? Think a little bit about the situation, weigh it up for yourself? I've not played it so can't comment, but I'd hope that Castro isn't portrayed as pure villain, and that it's all a bit more ambiguous than that.

Bubbles for well spoken and convincing arguments. Taught me a little something, and hopefully taught the xenophobic hypocrites on here a thing or two as well.

that it shoulda been 9 - you do realise you are talking about a 5% difference right? That is so small that you would barely notice it in most other areas of life. But as soon as people start talking about games it suddenly becomes the difference between awesome and shit?? Grow up and get some perspective.
