I don't see how this game could be better. I mean, 24 players, destructible environments, vehicles, dedicated servers, amazing graphics, superior gameplay. Nobody wants those, right?
I am a die-hard Valve fanatic. I have been since Half Life. I have played and replayed every single Valve game atleast 3 times each. I play CS 1.6 still to this day. I play Team Fortress 2. I play Counter strike Source. I love Valve. I think they make brilliant games.
But sometimes they need to shut the f*ck up. It is their choice to not develop for the PS3. But they don't have to be pricks about it. They can easily say "we won't develop for PS3 because we don't want to"...
MW2: 9v9.
BC2: 24 players. 12v12, Squads of 4, Squads of 2.
MW2: Deathmatch
BC2: Tactics, thinking, teamplay.
MW2: No Vehicles
BC2: Tanks, atv, uav, helicopters
MW2: No dedicated servers
BC2: Dedicated servers, which in turn means: mods, maps, and extended game life
MW2: Same graphics engine
BC2: Major overhaul of previous engine, so now it's even better.
MW2: Static environments
BC2: Destruct...
We all know this game is going to be better than MW2 anyways.
I'm just kidding... What I want to say is, GIMME BETA NOW!!
Seriously though. PSN is gonna have a real treat when the beta releases.
Yeah yeah, you know you wanna click that agree button. ------>
First off, @Zinc below me, yeah yeah call me a hypocrit. I'm sorry about my comment earlier.
"What will rise from the ashes is a new era of PC gaming. An era where corporate control is exerted like never before. You will never get a truly closed system on the PC as it is far too tempting to hack, but you should be able to provide a secure framework for delivery of map packs (paid for of course!)"
So this guy wants to change the way PC gaming is played. He...
I played the trial and it didn't interest me at all.
They just reviewed CoD4!!!!!
Nice essay there buddy.
My attention span: about 10 lines of text.
PC gaming is not dead. People who say that are people who don't play PC games.
You probably haven't seen what true DX11 looks like. This is a bad example because this game actually isn't that graphically impressive.
I for one bought and enjoyed Shattered Horizon.
The people who are going to play MW2 on Steam are the noobies that don't read news. No TRUE pc gamer in their right mind would play MW2 after what IW/Activision has done.
LOL man. You probably couldn't tell a good game from a rat's ass.
But on topic, I certainly hope Gears 3 won't be like Borderlands or Fallout 3 or have ANY kind of RPG like system. The Gears of War franchise is adrenaline and testosterone set to 100% and if Epic adds RPG elements then it will bog down the action A LOT. People play Gears to do this: kill somebody. 2 seconds later, kill somebody. 2 seconds later, blow someone up. 2 seconds later kill somebody. 2 seconds later blow...
Where's the love for Druids?? :(
LOL Yeah right. DOA has been one of the most competitive fighting games ever, besides the the masterpiece that is the Street Fighter series of course.
No I'm kidding.. I love my Wii. I play RE4, Twilight Princess, Corruption. The quality games outweigh the crap games. For every 100 crap games, there is 1 super ultra mega Nintendo game.
I have all of these games.... wait. maybe not Empire Total War.
Another honorable mentions would be (my opinion solely):
Original Half Life
Bioshock
Diablo (1 or 2, pick any. Both are brilliant)
Starcraft
Warcraft 3(can you tell I like Blizzard?)
Portal (everybody loves cake.)
I don't know why people think you need a $1000 PC to play games.
I run Crysis on High and it's frying my machine.
If you look at the Steam icon in the Start menu there will be an arrow and you can pin games to your favorites, change your online status, and look at recently played games.
Just another thing that makes Steam better.
I can't even begin to describe how many ways this game will be better than MW2.
I agree. PC gaming will be greater than ever in the years to come. It will make every console fanboy drool in awe. Even right now there are games that surpass console games in every way imaginable and it looks like 2010 will be a new benchmark for technological limits on PC.
Also, "hi-def" gaming.. lol. Hi-def is standard for PC games. Hi-def is a little bit below standard actually. Most people have around 1600 x 1200.
But, what Microsoft is trying to do w...
People are entitled to their opinion. The Agree Disagree button isn't there just to look all cool and fancy shmancy.
"I'm a tactical firearms instructor for the federal government and have more experience with firearms than most people"
Or are you....
On the internet you're just the same as every other person who makes an account on a news site.
