Nova Fox Gallente Novafox Shipyards	Posted - 2009.11.11 03:04:00 - [1] Campaign was a fresh ordeal, the bar raised again with this sequel in terms of action and storytelling. Graphics are on par, it mets the desires of the art department and on spot without framerate issues or horrible glitches beyond obvious. Human body physics still needs a little bit more help and the atmosphere presented is excellent for story telling or drivng the pace of combat in multiplayer. Sound is excellent, great musing to motivate the game play though its story. My only complaint now is that your 'avatar' in multiplayer now talks instead of 'HQ: Voice of god' all the time. but its a minor complaint none the less. also running around with a fully automatic shotgun with a silencer is funny. Even though I do have a computer capapble of running Call of duty on it I dont do so as my personal experince with the local dedicated servers that are under 500 ms ping to banned me for being better than the server's owner or playing 'unfairly'. So I basically gave that up on PC versons of alot of games anyways, At least the 360 version usually never lagsd out, find a match within 20 seconds and new host within 10.

Nova Fox Gallente Novafox Shipyards	Posted - 2009.11.12 07:50:00 - [3] Well today I experinced getting hit by a javlin... Ow... seriously... ow. It was well worth it though as it sent me flying across the map though and brought a whoa or laughs out of alot of people in the match that watched me fly overhead as I slammed onto the bunker wall. At least it looked pertty as I followed it up and watched it land on me. I've noticed they brought back a classic map from CoD:2 the one with the hedge in the center some tunnels and large open fields. Dont have a favorite map yet or a weapon yet, still learning all the neat stuff. I do like the throwing knives though, takes some skill to hit a player far away and getting headstabs with it even more difficult. Also going around smacking people to death with a riot shield is a blast. I do have an SMGer with lightweight and marathon, and boy is he fast I hate using silenced sniper rifels and if it wherent for the rediculous number of addon challenges I wouldnt be using it as much. It seems they fixed grenade spamming, heck even noobtubing isnt as common anymore despite both of them being easily being overpowered when comboed with Scavenger. Not sure why there is a cutdown on these. I also think that alot of the players that get the ac-130 are noobs and dont swap weapons around for max effect. Anyone seen the Tactical Nuke Kill steak bonus go off yet though? The highest I got in a care package was the chopper gunner which was a nice 30 kills. Great thing about the linked games on steam though is that if a person is caught cheating theyll have to buy another copy of the game again. Aimbots rarely exist on consoles because its so damed easy to report a player and blam, thier credit card is banned and they lose thier entire online account and all previous perchases they've made online as far as live on 360 is concerned. At least on the 360 I can play anyway I want to now and they can report me for 'cheating' or 'unfair' and not ever get banned unlike the dedicated servers previous game had where the servers' owners gained a dislike for me and banned me on them. I mean its not my fault they make a mod I take full advantage of and should have probably spent time fixing/balancing it instead of just banning players who abused the mod to thier advantage. Also the number of matches available for me to play at lag free are numbered about 4000% more than the dedicated servers that I could have connected to on previous games.

Nova Fox Gallente Novafox Shipyards	Posted - 2009.11.12 23:35:00 - [4] Well you have to consider game creation is beginning to rival movie production costs if there isnt enough sells on a platform persistently theyll skip over it. Lately PC has been the blunt end of low sales, piracy isnt the only blame but the unpopularity of it in these tough economic times. You will have a hard time finding a computer capable of playing mordern warfare 2 smoothly for under 200$, so it almost begs the question why invest in something that you will not get returns for. PC gaming is dying and pc gamers are having a hard time coping with the fact or are in denial. Only two bastions PC games have left are RTS and MMORPGS and it wont be long before somone does an RTS game on console similar to what Halo did for FPS's. MMOs are eventual, maybe not a big upsing of them this generation (Final Fantasy 14 for ps3/360/pc the only one slated on the list of possibly finishing) of consoles but next generation seems more likely to happen. No you cannot shot with the shield up in front, you can toss grenades still but i usually have the blast suit on for the primary equipment. Great thing about the riot shield is that it continues to function if you stow it on your back, but only for incomming rounds from behind. Riot shields can also dampen the effects of explosions and have bullets richocette off of it which can still potentially kill a player.

Nova Fox Gallente Novafox Shipyards	Posted - 2009.11.13 13:28:00 - [5] Im not narrow minded, I know that activision knows there just isnt money in PC gaming anymore, its a waste of money why conintue supporting it, Im surprised there was a pc version at all this time around. BTW having fun scaring people with the riot shield its funny to see people run away from you when you sit there and mock them with it.

Nova Fox Gallente Novafox Shipyards	Posted - 2009.11.14 04:31:00 - [7] Because Nvidia and AMD(ATi) make chips that do things other than just draw polygon triangles on the screen, video cards are just as important for playing video games as it is making them or movies and the sort. Also I challenge you to goto your local multiplatform gamestore then compare the floor space dedicated to each platform. I think its sad that the 4 in my area have more Computer Applications than games. On the only isle for computer stuff. PC games have been dying they been dying for the last 5 years. Shooters dont call PC home anymore, and seriously havent been since halo did it right (golden eye was a joke in terms of control in retrospect, hell even MoH barrows the same control scheme now) in a world where quick reaction responses aside from aiming, having 20 different keys dont help at all. Casual games? They drifted anywhere and found a profitable home on consoles. Simulator games? Mostly far and few between the next one I see worthwile in the horizion is Mechwarrior 5, unfoutunate how there will be a console version of that as well... A proven on the xbox original a simulator experince is highly possible with the game that did it called Steel Battalion with its 120 button three part simulator controller. RPGs Most RPG's interfaces are so simple they can are found on consolues just as easily. Most of the popular RPGs found on PC have been found on Consoles. MMORPGs are doable on consoles considering that both ps3 and xbox can support usb keybaords and Im sure it wouldnt be to hard to get a firmware update for a mouse too, there is just issues of networking. Im sure the next geration of consoles will begin to start picking this up, there have been strides for mmorpg consoles in the last two generations the largest one noted is FFXI with its cross console and soon Dust514 with the hybridization cross consoling. The last two bastions of PC games out there are indeed RTS and MMOs for now, RTS games are far to complicated now to do a properly but its not stopping them from trying and MMOs becuase well current harddrives are not large enough. Then you have to consider the current economy, video game companies are businesses they to have to make money, and follow the recommendations of thier investors their primary customer (yeah your tritary in the totem pole) and try to turn profit, so when these investors think that video pc game pirates are out there stealing thier money they're just not going to give them the option to steal it in the ifrst place, if you think a company is greedy maybe you should look at thier investors and im sure none of the ones on the board are video game enthusasist to begin with.

Nova Fox Gallente Novafox Shipyards	Posted - 2009.11.14 07:29:00 - [8] Edited by: Nova Fox on 14/11/2009 07:30:21 Originally by: Zeba Originally by: Nova Fox PC games have been dying they been dying for the last 5 years. Traditional store distributed pc games have been dying. Just check any of the current online shops like steam or impulse and you will see pages and pages of brand new pc games from both big name developers and indy devs that have really good games but could never convince a major publisher to take the risk of pressing and distributing the disks. I don't even bother with regular stores anymore and just buy from whatever online shop is selling it the cheapest. Last thing I bough from steam was Cogs over a month ago. None the less that one thing that has changed lately is the rise of indi developers but they're not a pc only phenom, theyre on all platforms.

Let me rephrase that, COGs the only thing I have ever bought from steam. Ghost Recon the first one, was probably the last PC shooter I bought for PC and I'll agree with PC users here, consoles bastardized that game's sequels.

Nova Fox Gallente Novafox Shipyards	Posted - 2009.11.17 12:33:00 - [14] Originally by: Dan O'Connor I don't know if that was the same everywhere with the ad-campaign, but here they kinda said, like superimposed on the screen "the most anticipated game of THE DECADE!". I read a few game magazines and not one of those has ever said something to that effect. I wonder why... haha It's a game. I personally find it incredibly brave to put a game that has many or most common features missing, on the market, hoping people will still buy it. Let's see in three months what the actual selling stats were in the first few days, AND the stats after. For me I'm much more excited about Mass Effect 2 which comes in spring. Sure, it's not like CoD but the first one was unique, great story, I cleared that one. To be honest I can't wait for the second. This game broke day 1 entertainment product record. Meaning on its first day this game outsold any other entertainment product you can think of, concert tickets, music albums, movie tickets, dvds/vhs, and video games. Raking in an impressive 310$ million dollars which could have easily paid for the production of the flabergastic failsauce movie G.I. Joe places this ahead of the previous record holder Halo 3 which had been at the time the blame for hollywoods worst month in over a decade. The previous holder of the title before halo 3 was Jurrasic Park 2 and before then the Empire Strikes Back the first showing. What has made CoD such a successful series is being able to 'experince' some of our favorite military fanatic moments we've seen in the media. The biggest nod was probably Saving Private Ryan, which itself changed wold war 2 movies forever, at the time medal of honor never came close to delivering. Other nods have been to Enemy at the Gates, The Rock, Black Hawk Down, News Media of the ac130 video and many more I cannot recall of. Then to top things off they continue to add thier own experinces that have yet to be seen anywhere. Fourtuante the first CoDs had a rich history of ww2 to pull from. Bringing that level of intensity to a mordern battlefield however had to be penned form scratch almost but in the end it vastly paid off becomming one of the more memorable and stacked against mordern shooters around for the higher octane arcade paced fighting. However the number one driving factor for such negativity is probably from an activision board level decision to nix the ability for players to get thier own servers, this is probably the same reason why there are two studios working on call of duty and clear evidence that activision wants to milk the COD cow as much as possible. The other source of such negativity however is one particular mission where morals are questioned and can be extremly disturbing for a few. It grew a big enough stink that they had to patch it to allow 'skipping' the mission. Pre-order your Sisters of ≡v≡ Exploration ship today, Updated 11OCT09
Nova Fox Gallente Novafox Shipyards	Posted - 2009.11.17 21:59:00 - [15] My question is what makes it a bad game? There are people convinced this is the worst game in the world? I have played games FAR worse than this game and Ive been told those arent even near the bottom of the pile. Graphics? Well at least its on par with current games, its not distratingly bad, and the art is consistent at least. Ultimately games shouldnt be judged on graphics alone, there are some really top notched graphics games out there and to say none the least suck in every other aspect, then you have games that purposely gone backwards on grapics and they're alot better than some of the crud churned out. Sound? High quality, no annoying voice overs or horrible music or misbalanced sense of sound though the pacing of the game. Controls? Smooth and easy to pick up and understand, there are shooters out there that has thrown this out the window before and CoD isnt one of them. Story? Thoughtful and compelling enough to pick up the player motivate him to finish, there are games out there that can pick up a player then drop them from wanting to finish, though it was a short story of a game it was crammed packed with action. Replay value? This is a faltering value on this game, even the people say the hardest mode was relativly easier Im not sure if this is was a result of fixing a problem in the last game the 'infinite' enemies but it probably is. Yet there are those that this game irks them to think this is the worst game ever published, be honest this game is far from the worst, however its not the best out there either. Things you think that would have improved the game? -Probably the option for dedicated servers on the PC version -A west coast US campaign involving the fresh out of boot camp marines having to deal with a situation they're wherent prepared for (which I think they where doing but had to remove due to publishing schedules, which explains the golden gate bridge map) -A set of Special Ops mode tailored to allow 3-4 players and matchmaking for those missions as well, and maybe a few more missions that are more of a mini game like a 'horde' mode than just survive a few waves that already exist. -Multiplayer Improvment? other than the dedicated servers the pc gamers want, would love to see non combat rewards for prestige mode and probably a few more maps (lack of variety in game styles right now) Any game that could have been improved isnt the best game out there, but I think infinity ward knows they raised the bar again on terms of presenting a story though a game that can rival hollywoods ability to tell a story.

Nova Fox Gallente Novafox Shipyards	Posted - 2009.11.18 22:52:00 - [17] 5hrs for a shooter is awfully long for something thats heavily scripted and story driven with few repeating scenarios I think the game would have sucked alot more if they tried to strech the current content out with what little time they had and could have done and lost the attention span of the player. I mean its almost like making a movie at this point in gaming, gone are mostly the uninteresting shooters consisting of 80 levels drawn on graph paper, now adays most levels are designed in a comic book or at least they try it this way. Take a look at warcraft and how it destroyed mmo tradition. No more exp grinding its now Quest Grinding, at least with quest grinding you somewhat do something alot different than bashing the same rabbit 80 times in a row. Now its go out bash 20 rabbits then bash this then bash that. More and more games are moving away from static content, the more succesful games do this very well I mean its easy to design a tower defense game that has 1 tower type and 1 enemy type. But trying to add 1 new enemy type and 1 new tower type can make the game a bit more addictive which is why games like Plants vs Zombies and Defense Grid where great tower defense games. Applying this logic to a shooter however is far more difficult due to the fact most enemies and weapons are not the centerpeice of the game.

Nova Fox Gallente Novafox Shipyards	Posted - 2009.11.19 07:59:00 - [18] Originally by: Zeba Fair enough. But riddle me this Batman. Was it worth or even be remotely considered worth $60 for the delivered content? I have seen better done with less funding (Portal comes to mind) but Im sure MW2 costed alot to produce, I fear for the next generation of games as thier production costs will rival movies. As for the amount of product delivered it is well in the 30-50$ range for the single player content and defeinetly worth every penny of a rental. Replay value of the SP is limited to regathering intel and playing it on a harder difficulty and what few acheivements are involved with that one. There is an extreme amounts of replay value in Special Ops modes which takes some of the best experinces of MW1 and MW2+ and turn them into a co-op experinces, missions from MW1 such as one player mannning the ac-130 while your buddy runs to the extraction point on the ground. The special Ops on hard mode is extremly difficult solo and with a friend and its a great blast none the less, only thing to be desired is an 'infinite' mode on some of the survival missions (capped at 5 waves on most of those type) and only 2 player co-op, but for those completionist this will definetly keep them busy for hours even with a friend. Multiplayer is everything the original MW was on console and then some, the lack of map variety is the only thing wanting hopefully the new content released next year fixes this, it feels far more balanced than it used to be then again we havent been out for a month yet to figure out a 'flavor' of the month. Recent game that I felt ripped off on was ODST at 50-60$ with a very short campaign and nothing much extra on multiplayer or bonus content much and with no match making on firefight makes it meh. Game was easily worth half of the sale value. Production spent I assure was far less than MW2s as they used the halo 3 havok powered engine again.

But riddle me this Batman. Was it worth or even be remotely considered worth $60 for the delivered content? I have seen better done with less funding (Portal comes to mind) but Im sure MW2 costed alot to produce, Not as much as the $25million they spent on marketing. Let me correct you here It costs 40-50 million USD to produce mordern warfare 2 this is the money the studio itself spent on making this game. Price Tag of a Blockbuster Movie in hollywood is around 300-400 million USD now and alot of them dont break even. GI JOE for example is still struggling to get enough money back from marketing costs which is why its out on Disc now. The publisher Activision the ones responsible for distributing, manufacturing, and advertisment had a bill of 200$ million USD, im sure some of those commericals during sports games where high priced, at least it wasnt a superbowl commerical all that would have been spent in one shot on that one. The however the game did make a profit up in the 1+ billion USD now and that includes the charity to help veterans get job placments deducting from it.

Nova Fox Gallente Novafox Shipyards	Posted - 2009.11.22 22:58:00 - [20] Originally by: Reiisha It is a bad game because it the developers took the easy route and copied the first Modern Warfare, but added a lot of restrictions. They dumbed a great game down (even more) and made iw.net mandatory purely for generating revenue. The game hasn't been made for gamers, the game has been made for Activision shareholders. That is why it's a bad game. Thats ODST, where they used the same engine and did some more polishing up. They did the same thing for Gears of War 1 & 2. MW2 is definetly presented as a different engine all together from sound presentation to how the pipeline works and even map models imported from the first game have a very stark different look and feel to them, even if they did use the same engine the amount of efforted shoved into it is just as much as making gears of war using unreal engine (unreal had an early limitation on male models). Dumbdown? Controls havent changed at all cept for the response times and feel. They also changed out one person loads out thier kits as its feels to be a diversly more stratigic experince, alot of weapons are harder to use imo. The only thing they seemed to dumbed down was the hit boxes on people. Which is a better improvment than shooting somone in the head in the previous game and missing entirely. Your just probably ****ed off that people no longer have to fight the controls to shoot you anymore. My major complaint is the lack of variety of maps. If you think its a bad game give a fuller review why, one liners aint going to cut it for me when trying to understand. Pre-order your Sisters of ≡v≡ Exploration ship today, Updated 11OCT09
