Haha, I was just about to start playing it again. What got to you?

Spawns and the Lightweight/Marathon/Commando set-up absolutely shit me to tears. How a knife is a one-hit kill yet a shotgun bullet isn't I'll never understand, also the sniper fanboys with names like 'Xx-QuiKSnipez-xX' bullshit me every time

I'm now only ever gonna use my rocket or my Spas just to release my anger :)


TBF, I've seen plenty of one hit kills from shotguns. And in the end, all through FPS history the 'Melee' attack has been a one hit kill. why should this be any different.

I do understand your point though.


Not really. Well, it never used to be, at least when the melee was a specific weapon. The gauntlet in Quake wasn't ever one hit kill, nor was the knife in counter-strike (unless you do an alt stab attack in their back), and I'm pretty sure the melee in Halo isn't an instant kill either.

I have the Rugby League live game, it's pretty fun with mates, useless solo and the graphics look like a poor ps2 game.
That said, I do give it and Fifa a thrashing whenever i got mates over.

For those who have played:
Fallout 3
Killzone 2
Mafia 2

Do I need to play the previous games in the series to have a full understanding of these, or can I just pick up and go from these 3?

Installing the FM11 A league demo now to see if it will work on my lappy before I buy the new one =D.

I think I'll be Gold Coast and see how they do the crowd numbers.

If you haven't played Fallout 1&2, I highly, highly recommend doing so anyway, before or after you play 3 & New Vegas... absolutely classic games that hold up well.

But you definitely don't need to have played them - there's no story arc you'll be missing out on.

Gonna wait till I've heard feedback before i pick it up. IIRC, everyone was this excited about World At War, and it fell flat on its face.

I'm picking this one up for 360 because I had a pretty good time on MW2 on it.

I will be happy if it's just MW2 with some new content, never played any of the other ones as i usually don't like shoot em ups

Haven't even played MW2 yet :lol: :lol:

So many other games out there for me to play. I'll play it one day, just not in an immense rush to play it. COD1 was probably the best one in the series for me.

He was a man of specific quirks. He believed that all meals should be earned through physical effort. He also contended, zealously like a drunk with a political point, that the third dimension would not be possible if it werent for the existence of water.

Yeah, I noticed that too in one of the vids I watched as well. And I dunno. There's just something about the AI and Online play of MW that I just love above all us. Nothing else has come close to it for me, so I'm not holding my breath.

This. looks mint. I'll have to have a look at Live as well, but even though Live has the Great graphics the 2K series always has the gameplay.

Madden 11 is pretty awesome as well.

Brother has pre-ordered black ops. I'm not going on it till after exams though.

Btw, if anyone wants to add my new psn details, they are benjo_301294. For PS3.
