Black Ops!!

looks pretty good but the play won't be the same as the infinity ward versions.
it will be like World at War imo which sucked.

Meh, disagree. WaW was good, especially Nazi Zombies.

WaW is a bad port of CoD MW like Enemy Territory was to RTCW

Yeah, WaW was a real bad port compared to mw... all those crappy dedicated servers and that zombie mod they ripped off from modernwarfare...  Hint: if you draw comparisons between MW and WaW by drawing parallels to games that came out nearly 10 years ago; then just MAYBE you're not in the "know". 

 

I think he's just saying that both were bad ports.

i was, the guy is just a rough ridin' Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)

was just wondering how you call waw a port of mw when it had game modes no where to be found in mw....and more importantly dedicated servers.  little confused as to why thats so difficult to understand... hope this helps:

Black Ops has been ruined as well.  It has dedicated servers...but Activision has monopolized them with a crap provider.  Bobby Kotick is the new biggest douche in the universe.

Did any of you guys see that Duke Nukem Forever is releasing next year? They've only been working on it since 1997, and I'm not even kidding.

Do you guys buy all of these games? Or do that wacky netflix for games thingy.

I usually get a game every month or 2. I try to rent them if I know I won't play them much, or get them super cheap after a few months out.

The ultimate vaporware.  I'll buy it just because.

I feel like there are probably about 5 different code bases of DNF, each about 2/3 done.  They should release them all, so we could experience the progression of the game.

I buy all mine.  Never rent.  Tried gamefly but it sucked, took forever to get games.

Let me know when you guys sign up your biblical tribes and we can all play together.

It would be amazing if the game had a cliffhanger ending.

To be continued... in 2025.

You can also get them in KC at JoCo Library's for free.  Somewhat limited selection but carry most the popular games.  Rent online and go pick up for 2-3 weeks at a time and can just go back and re-check them out.

Yeah, Topeka library has some games but they all suck and they are never checked in.

I don't think you guys will be disappointed with Reach. It is amazing.

There was one point last night when nearly 800,000 people were playing Reach.

Halo sucks

[Saulbadguy]

Halo sucks

Agreed.  It's for 12 year olds.  hth.

[kstatefreak42]

Halo is fantastic, but not for 40 year olds

[pissclams]

Halo is fantastic for retards who've never played a real game, FYP TIA.

[Rage Against the McKee]

I thought the first Halo was amazing, the second one was pretty mediocre, and the third one blew balls. I graduated and no longer have a roommate with an XBOX, so I haven't played ODST or Reach. Based on the trend of the first 3 games, though, I don't really feel like I'm missing much.

This is about right.  First one was really great/cutting edge and stuff.  Then they went all madden on the series, making it basically the same but tossing in a couple new features.  Won't stay ahead doing that.

They will sell the crap of games that way.  If you keep the core game the same, and add in a few worthless features every year it will sell a ton.

Yeah, that has proven to be true.  But the non fanboys won't buy the POS game.  I haven't bought madden for two years now after getting fed up with that POS game.  I played Halo on my friend's XBOX, then I bought Halo 2 when it came out.  Didn't buy Halo 3, won't be buying any more Halos.
