Reasons Why I hate Modern Warfare 2's Multiplayer



Before I start I would just like to state that Modern Warfare 2's Campaign mode, is amazing as well as the SpecOps mode, but the Multiplayer mode is complete shit, people always ask me why I say this and today I will answer those questions.

First
Why Do You Hate the new multiplayer mode?
Because nearly everything that Infinity Ward threw in was ether a gimmicky, or just completely unbalanced the game, or did both. The previous title (Modern Warfare) it's multiplayer was fun, making something fun is extremely hard to duplicate, Infinity Ward (with the help of the new Mircosoft, aka Activision) made a fucking piece of shit that is completely unbalanced, easy to play, easy to camp on, good for casuals, and some hardcore gamers who can't see the forest from the trees, or just are looking for a good place to hack, ether way this game is extremely easy to play, all the guns are fucking rail guns, if you can't Snipe no worries! use ACOG! no worries there, don't like Iron sight? use red dot sight! can't shoot a gun for shit? use the n00b tube!
can't get a decent K/D Ratio? Camp with ACOG sight! Don't reload fast enough? Use the quick reload perk! Don't Run Fast Enough? Get the Marathon perk! Can't get enough kills? Duel wield Rangers! In this game there is no counter balance, none whatsoever, there is nothing to counter the Ambiko Rangers, nothing to counter the, n00b tube, nothing to counter campers.

How are all the guns rail guns?
Well not all of the guns are rail guns but most of them are, getting multiple kills in this game is extremely easy, it's more like Bioshock's campaign put into an multiplayer experience, the "no skill required" approach usually made most hardcore gamers hate the game.
It's almost absolutely silly do try and incorporate the "no skill required" approach to most games multiplayer mode, most of the time it comes back to bite developers in the ass, or (in this case) earns the publishers 1 Billion dollars in sales, regardless this game (in my eyes remember that this is my opinion) is a quick way for Activision to cash in, as well as the new "Adventure" Call Of Duty game which will be another way to cash in, however sine i'm not a rabid fanboy of the Call Of Duty series or "Brand Name"I won't care.
However if the game is halfway decent then yes I will give it the time of day.


Until Next Time

My Thoughts On Halo Reach & Other Xbox 360 Exclusives


I've been following Halo Reach extensively, the games multiplayer aspect will be very well known by the end of the month because after May the 3rd (The 4th in some countries) the multiplayer beta will be open to people who purchased a copy of Halo 3: ODST, the game in general looks amazing, but Bungie always focuses on gameplay over graphics (this is how Halo: CE became a HUGE success), but (for me anyway)
the Halo series has become a bit stale in some respects, the series in general fell off (for me) when Halo 3 was released, but the thing that annoys me is the Jetpacks which seem like the "Gimmicky" stuff in Modern Warfare 2, the reason I hate this types of this is because sometimes, things that developers put in games to balance them can sometimes be unbalancing factors, namely Modern Warfare 2, hopefully Reach ends up like Bad Company 2, the game is balanced.
The only thing that pisses me off in Bad Companies multiplayer is the mortar strikes, they take nearly everything down in one shot.
The Loadouts probably won't be like Modern Warfare 2, knowing Bungie, they will probably make Infinity Ward look bad in that aspect, even though Modern Warfare 2 was campers+Casuals galore, they managed to make $1 billion Dollars, in sales and Activision (Aka the New Mircosoft) treated them like dirt, but we will take about this after the cases have been "resolved", the DMR definitely looks like the weapon that I wanna have a play test with

I want to play this game badly, seriously this game looks like one of the best Xbox 360 exclusives that we have had in a while, even though this game has been rebooted like a trillion times, it should top one of the best sales records that the Xbox 360 has ever had.
I know so many people who want to play this game so badly, seriously when the pre-order comes it will be like bees on honey.




I loved the first Crackdown so so much, you can attack in so many different ways with so many different Weapons. The first game was so awesome hopefully the developer can recreate the same experience, I had with the first one, I just love how you can attack a way every single, one time it could be ballistic weapon then a street sign.

New Motion Sensor BS- The PS3 Move and Project Natal

I will try not to count out these motion sensors before they come out but, this stuff is trying to bring casual gamers to "Hardcore" gamers consoles, Sony and Mircosoft are trying to widen their audience, so they sell consoles like Nintendo does, I seriously think that this Is an extremely bad idea from both sides, it's completely unneeded. T


he PS3 motion sensor (The PS3 Move) looks the worst (in my opinion) it has a giant globe looking thing at the top. It also looks like a Wii nunchuk, thats been re-engineered so that it can power on by its self, but it will probably cost less because Sony probably designed to be non cost effective, not that, that's a bad thing.





Project Natal looks like a Wii sensor bar that's been thickened for some reason, the technology seems miles ahead of they PS3 because of the sole fact that you don't need a controller to play, with the ps3 Move you need a controller, this "accessory" will probably cost more than the PS3 move.

Xbox 360 Outsells Wii In Febuary






O_O Is this really happening the almighty Wii is knocked out of the top spot?
You betcha, finally the Xbox, or any other gaming platform beats the Wii, finally, but PS3 sales are surging what could happen?

The PS3 sales went up by 100,000 this month, I'm seriously getting used to idea that PS3 will beat both the Wii and Xbox 360 in console sales, the Wii (which most hardcore games like myself hate)
Is starting to lose its fanbase, hopefully they can bring some back with the release of Super Mario Galaxy.

My Thought's On Final Fantasy XIII.



Final Fantasy XIII (which was announced at least 4-5 years ago) finally got to see the light of day a few days ago, the only launch party in Australia (which I attend) was great after picking up my first Final Fantasy title in years, I played half way through the game, and now its time for me to give you my first impression's, the game feels (in some respects) like Final Fantasy 10 (even though most people say that Final Fantasy 10 is the worst game in the series)
The combat system is greatly improved from the first, the "Auto-Attack" feature helped elapse time further, but not paying attention in this game can come back to bite you in the a$$, one of the features that they changed (when you died in Final Fantasy XI you started from the last "Save") in this game you start from the battle that you were on, this game (in my opinion) is one of the best in the Final Fantasy series, they took out most of the features in FF XI
that many hated, and reattempted to give the people who aren't hardcore RPG fans something, i'm sure there are people out there who hate the new game but you can't please everyone.
All in all you will be happy you bought this game, if still haven't its a MUST HAVE.
Until Next Time
