Hurlshort Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 OFP and CoD are entirely different approaches to game design.
Krookie Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 Brothers in Arms is still my favorite shooter.
Llyranor Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 I'm looking forward to BiA3. Too bad they haven't revealed much for multiplayer --> co-op campaign. Jerks. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Krookie Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 I forget where I heard it, but apparently they are considering co-op campaign with each player leading a smaller squad, instead of one player leading a larger one.
Hurlshort Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 BiA is also an entirely different approach to game desing, albeit closer to CoD than OFP. That is, if you are down with OPP.
Krookie Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 BiA's story is pretty solid for an FPS. The characters have been awesome, when you come around the corner to see Allan and Garnett screaming at each other to load the bazooka that they are firing at the German house. "IF YOU GET US KILLED I SWEAR TO CHRIST I WILL F**KING KILL YOU!"...Come to think of it, they sort of remind me of Llyranor and Nick.
Llyranor Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 You're like the mute protagonist who sends his teammates to their death. I only played the original partly on PC. I'd be game to give the two games another shot if the Xbox versions were BC. It'd also be neat if OFP Elite was BC. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
jaguars4ever Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 You're like the mute protagonist who sends his teammates to their death. Which is why the Final Fantasy games are so much superior. There, you're the transgender protagonist who acts like a jerk for half the game before turning emo...and then send you're teammates to their death.
Nick_i_am Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 Come to think of it, they sort of remind me of Llyranor and Nick. Save that they weren't shoving grenades down each others throats. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Sand Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 Okay Xbox experts, I got myself an XBox360 Elite and now am wondering what key accessories would I need to optimize my XBox360 experience besides the obvious second controller and battery recharge station.

Congrats Hades! For starters make sure you have an Xbox live headset. Then go and get a keypad, 'cause typing with the controller gets old. Real fast.
Sand Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 The Elite I got came with one headset, a wireless controller, and 2 games. The keyboard would be pretty cool. I would hate to do IM with the controller. It would take the Instant out of Instant Messaging.

Krookie Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 You can get a smaller QWERTY keyboard that plugs into the microphone jack.
Kor Qel Droma Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 You should give your headset to Kyle, Hades. It's fookin' Christmas, after all. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

SteveThaiBinh Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 It's a winter seasonal celebration wholly unrelated to any religious festivities that may or may not be happening in parts of the world where public non-Muslim religious observance is legal.

SteveThaiBinh Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 Then go and get a keypad, 'cause typing with the controller gets old. Real fast. Yes. And then get a mouse, and then tell me if you can use them to play Mass Effect. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
Hurlshort Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 I've never seen the need for a battery recharge thing, the controller lasts for a very long time on regular batteries. I don't know how big it is, but I remember you said you lack space, so it might not be necessary. I suppose it's eco-friendly The keypad might be nice, it's a pain to pick out a message, although with a headset it's pretty easy to just send a quick recording to anyone online. There really isn't any use I could imagine for a keypad other than messaging people. You can also network your PC and send messages to people on Xbox live using your PC, although I've yet to test it.
Nick_i_am Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 Kyle who? Besides, I am not Christian. I don't celebrate Christian holidays. fyi, 'christmas' was being celebrated long before christianity, and the christmas we know now isn't actually the original supposed date of Jesus' birth, because it was changed by one of the christian roman emperors to line up with an existing pagan festival.

Sand Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 I know that, Nick. I'm not a Pagan either.
