A good result for Modern Warfare, there, against a very strong Call of Duty side.

NO FUCKING MARTYRDOM PLZ K THX BAI

Also: some minimal amount of HUD in Hardcore please. Like an ammo counter and a "nearby grenade" indicator.

What about when some idiot team-mate behind you just dropped one via martyrdom?

Should be the other way around.

JOKEFAIL!

Also, I can't help but think that this is a test of some kind, the sequel to one of my all time favourite games being released two weeks before my wedding (and subsequent three week vacation from XBoxes).

Then use your ears. You can always hear the grenade bouncing.

Alternatively, TK any friendly units using martyrdom in Hardcore mode from a safe distance.

It's set in an alternate reality where the Napoleonic wars never happened. As a result, France is in control of America and you play a plucky young guerilla recruit and have to fight your way to the whitehouse. Against polar bears. And Sean Bean.

Why the hell are you becoming a lawyer, when a bright future as a games designer awaits you? That sounds like the best game ever.

There's also a bonus level that sees you as the commander of a steam-powered submarine.

Me want, now. How do I become a beta tester for them? What websites do I need to sign up to to get my name on the list to play this asap?

Malabelm · **Posted:** Thu Mar 26, 2009 13:55

Ace. Good to see another Modern Warfare game; I find WWII games so very boring.

That said, I still haven't completed CoD4 yet, though it's inbound from Goozex for the Xbox so I can play with Bezzies and with a pad.

As I've said in the comments thread there, it sounds a bit too James Bond for me, now. Call of Duty was meant to be about the heroism of everyday soldiers, not just the super elite special ops. But then, you can't make a game about modern everyday soldiers without being hung drawn and quartered for being 'insensitive' (6 Days in Fallujah).

Roll on ArmA2 for some proper soldiery, and no Martyrdom.

Call of Duty has lost its appeal after the fabulous 1st game. The others did nothing for me.

It doesn't look very war'y does it?

snowmobiles, castles, chucking people onto cars, is this what the armies are doing these days.

nickachu · **Posted:** Mon May 25, 2009 13:31

It does look more special ops style of game, but it should still be good, and no doubt the mulitplayer will be just as good as CoD4

Malabelm · **Posted:** Mon May 25, 2009 13:39

I loved the special ops sections of CoD 4 anyway.

metalangel · **Posted:** Tue May 26, 2009 9:25

It's stopped being a war game, and it's become more of a special ops thriller.

And I think that the Rainbow Six games do that better.

metalangel · **Posted:** Tue May 26, 2009 9:30

I hope this doesn't end up burying ArmA2 and Dragon Rising like CoD4 buried Frontlines.*

*which is to say, this fucking game will bury ArmA2 and Dragon Rising.

myp · **Posted:** Tue May 26, 2009 9:31

Frontlines was good in single player, but due to the crap lobby system and massive maps with 16 people on, the multiplayer was seriously lacking.

CoD4 was exactly the opposite for me. The single player left me cold, but I'm still playing multi now.

Totally different sort of game apart from the subject matter though. If the last one is anything to go by I'll probably just rent this one and thoroughly enjoy playing through it over a weekend. Rainbow Six doesn't really give up the goods until you've put a bit more effort in.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue May 26, 2009 9:39

I really should open the CoD5 box, take the disk out and put it in my xbox and play it sometime.

Well yes, but I always liked playing CoD because you were Pte Nobodyski from the Red Army or whatever. I like being Special Ops in RS, though.

By "the last one" I meant CoD4, CoD5 isn't really very good at least, I'd had more than enough by the time it finished. It seemed to suffer from what some of the other CoD titles do in that in some sections you feel as though you might just as well not even be there. Which I guess is a problem for war type games in general, if they were in any way really realistic then you would indeed be able to get through them by doing nothing but hiding behind a rock and relying on your thousands of mates to shoot all the baddies.

Most FPSes leave me cold in singleplayer these days. It has all been done before so many times. Killzone 2 was good, really good, but I didn't really enjoy it much because it was just the same old shit. Multiplayer on the other hand, is where I spend my time. Basically, what Myp said. The copying cunt.

:hat:

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue May 26, 2009 10:21

I got CoD5 from Goosex out of 'I have points but don't know what I want, and this looks ok and will be worth something after I've finished it to trade it in against something' syndrome.

Not expecting too much from it at all.

I got GRID on that basis, too. So far it's a bit meh.

*sings*I don't want skidoos, I don't want tanks, I don't want satelite attack systems, or any of these.
I want the SAS and US marines.

Meh, looks rubbish.
