Love Planetside, and SWG no matter how dead they are, and some older SWG buds are playing Vanguard so it might be a good deal.

Oh, man, anyone play Call of Duty 4? i rented it over xmas break. i think it has one of the best storylines/gameplay i have ever seen/played. the AI puts on a great challenge. the game is just amazing all out. Even the online play blew me away. although the programmers could do a better job with the matchmaking i thought the mixture of game types and maps was great.

This game is deff. worth the 60$

Eh.... Its alright. I dislike the made up terrorist organizations that do something inconcieveable like take over a casino in las vegas or detonate a nuclear bomb in a city...

Pretty much the same thing... I'm not a big fan of "Near Future" shooters. I'm more into ther 500 years into the future where there has been some progress and you fight a real enemy, not 10 years in the future where we are fighting ragheads. Games like SWG, and Mass Effect, I dare to say even Halo... If halo had futuristic weapons it would be believeable but still using the same old projectile weapons 500 years from now seems... Archaic. I mean you could at least add a guass rifle or another kind of accelerated weapon.

My favorite kind of games are the sim games like RO, and to some extent BF2. The difference in BF2 and Cod4 is online play. Cod4 is an old school CS esque multiplayer with small maps that only allow lone ranger shit, snipers are little bitches that throw claymores and get a headshot and think there the shit. Then there are the other people that run around like "He man" with a shotgun or assualt rifle and get 30 kills a game and think thier hot shit. But the real action, the real combat is in large open maps where vehicles, tactics, and teamwork reign supreme.

IMHO it helps draw me into the story better then if I'm fighting a guy whos name I can't pronounce and somehow raised an army and is a viable opponent to the USA in 10 years... If that is possible then saddam wasn't hiding WMD's but instead has clones of boba fett that can turn into a clone army and take on the US.

I'm mostly against games like Rainbow Six vegas and COD4. Although fun multiplayer the single player is not so much fun. Kinda boring, and I think the devs figured that out by trying to add things to make it fun like the dogs and the carrying the sniper guy, but those don't really add anything to the game, instead it makes it annoying because I can't ever kill the dog and its a pain in the ass to carry that guy the whole way...

This post has gone on longer than was expected, so i'll stop here by saying, COD4 is fun but its gets old, real fast. Only time i'll play online is if someone sends me an invite and I'm really bored... So in short: No thanks i'll stick to NCAA06 and Mass Effect for the box.

PC however i'll probably be sucked into Potbs for a few months untill I hear of any kind of new MMOFPS or any new developments in Huxley or STO.
