Calax Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 I see, Kerrigan is a Ghost again? She got half de-infested at the end of SCII's terran campaign. She still retained a few zerg traits (specifically her hair is all snaky), but for the most part reverted to her human self. Best guesses has the entire plot of the next game being focused on her re-taking control of the swarm. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Bendu Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Call of Duty Elite adds monthly fee. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of COD.

Bendu Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Damn, too slow. Well, the Eurogamer article has a video, which shows the features.
Nepenthe Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Let's hope EA doesn't follow Activision. I don't think they will, at least not for now. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they used it in their bf3 marketing, since they are the ones playing catch-up. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Niten_Ryu Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 I'm kinda happy about that Activision chose to do the "unthinkable". Now we really see how popular the Call of Duty and Modern Warfare brands are. In the other corner we have Battlefield 3, with great Frostbite 2 engine, beautiful movement animations, (at least some) optimazations for the PC version, free to play and in the other corner we have Modern Warfare 3. If Activision win, they'll certainly deserve it. But if they lose and burn Call of Duty and Modern Warfare brands into ground, they'll deserve it even more I haven't played multiplayer FPS competitively since the early 2000 so I don't really care one way or the other. I'll buy my FPS cheaply from Steam sales and only play singleplayer campaigns. Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube.
Morgoth Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Once a franchise reaches religion status it doesn't really matter anymore what you actually deliver. Sersiously, the CoD series was never good to begin with. But people buy it "because everyone else does it too, so it must be good". Rain makes everything better.
Nepenthe Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Once a franchise reaches religion status it doesn't really matter anymore what you actually deliver. Bollocks, Guitar Hero alone proved you wrong. You can kill a golden goose if you try hard enough - like Acti keep trying. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they used it in their bf3 marketing, since they are the ones playing catch-up. Me neither. I'm mostly worried that the lemmings that buy CoD will actually pay to play it online creating ****loads of revenue for Activision and once EA sees that it actually works they will follow with their brands. Hate the living, love the dead.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they used it in their bf3 marketing, since they are the ones playing catch-up. In terms of marketing yeah sure, they've not got the same kind of saturation. In terms of tech, they're well ahead. I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.Down and out on the Solomani RimNow the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM!
Nightshape Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Sersiously, the CoD series was never good to begin with. But people buy it "because everyone else does it too, so it must be good". Initially it was in a class of its own, CoD 1 + 2 were excellent... Everything after that was very rinse and repeat though. I came up with Crate 3.0 technology.

In terms of tech, they're well ahead. Which, I assume, was going to be the main prong of their marketing, until Activision kindly did half their thinking for them with the above announcement.

You only need to do a little bit of research to realise that if the claims about frostbyte 2 are legit, and based on what I've seen I've no reason to think otherwise, hence, the technology alone is awesome, they finally got the small scale destruction going. Frostbyte 1 was in my opinion pony in its destruction. I just don't see what MW3 is offering, its just more of the same, as it has been since MW. I can't believe how often thing caca gets lapped up by the general public, the changes are barely worth mentioning. Its a crap product, I played MW 1 + 2 and wasn't even amused, I actually found WaW to be more amusing, if only because it showed that the entire tech they're using is totally flawed. Everything is hand scripted, the AI doesn't even exist really... If you look at the multiplayer, on paper Battlefield has always been a more complex experience, so that's really the hurdle, making it an uncomplicated experience for the CoDtard's of the world.

WorstUsernameEver Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Apparently Hunted: The Demon's Forge is terrible. No reviews up yet, though.
Wrath of Dagon Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 COD is really all about the multiplayer, and you've got to buy the new one every year because all your friends are playing it. It's really brilliant marketing. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity." Marshall McLuhan

Morgoth Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Apparently Hunted: The Demon's Forge is terrible. No reviews up yet, though. Well, that's too bad. I was kinda in the mood to play a gritty dungeon crawler. Rain makes everything better.
Lexx Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 I wasn't much interested in it since the beginning. It's just bad for inXile, if it turns out to be a non-seller. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
WorstUsernameEver Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 It's just bad for inXile, if it turns out to be a non-seller. Besides having Fargo at their helm, has inXile ever done anything notable?

Orogun01 Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 I got new friends instead. And became a alcoholic! Seemed a better option! Do alcoholics go out partying and having drunk sex? If so...can I be your friend? I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
