^ Hmmm, the spam bots are becoming as articulate as the Marxists. Should we be worried?

Perhaps.

Were you planning on cleaning this up?

I wasn’t sure it was spam. Some people simply have bad spelling and grammar. [H]

Except the statists in that game are Aliens.

Government causes an intergalactic war, an individual called Freeman must clean up the mess. To do it he must battle alien invaders and government goons in equal measure. Very subtle.

Even if you are well equipped and willing to deal with Carth-esque characters, your party members are as dumb as door knobs.

Oh yeah that was another thing that bothered me. In NWN2 it was easy to control your party of 5-6, but in this i was struggling to do 3. Epic GUI fail.

I really like the Half-life series because it seems to push the value of mankind’s ingenuity, individuality, and humanity.

The day Bioware puts out a solo rpg is the day uncertainty kicks them in the cajones. Really, nothing says individualist entrepreneur like babysitting lobotomy patients for AI, and leering at the character info screen every few minutes for an hour. What can I say? They’re subsidiaries of EA, so they’re safe using their tired out formula. At this rate, we can expect more throwing of dirty, time-consuming bath water at the baby. Time fillers go in; innovation goes out.

Colonel I. How often do you play. PM me your username.

I don’t know man. I feel like if I did that then I would just own you at the Sub Base with my UMP45. It would be terrible and I’d hate to lose a friend like that.

I discovered today that my favorite weapon so far is the Tar-21 with nade launcher. The FAL comes in a close second.

I’m not a fan of the TAR-21 whatsoever, the SCAR is my next favorite after the AK-47, the SCAR’s only problem being a 20 round mag.

What rank do you get the AK?

70, its quite strange and tragic that the most common firearm in the world is also the last one one gets in the game.

Modern Warfare, and Modern Warfare 2 are two of the best first person shooters to date, and they have the best fps online play hitherto.

[Kraig]

You must not have played very many online FPS games then. I will grant the the first Modern Warfare was decent (on PC) but MW2 lacks dedicated servers on all platforms. The best FPS online would have to be remotely fair, on MW2 I am not very good, I usually score around 10 kills and 15 deaths in team deathmatch. Then if I get host I do amazing, crazy scores like 26-2. Hosted competitive games is just a really cheap and backwards way of doing it.

MW was a really refreshing addition to FPS multiplay at the time it was released. Unfortunately I never really got to play it in full-spec as my PC at the time was completely tweeked for playing CoD 2 competitively

Oh, how I miss the original CoD games. The United Offensive expansion made for the best multiplay ever!

I wish there were more levels. Expansion pack anytime soon?

Modern Warfare was great for sure. I like MW2, but it just seems like there is just too much going on. A really fun game to play with other people is L4D2, although the best multiplayer game to date is definitely Gears of War. I will however never forgive the developers of GOW2 for their crime against humanity.

Today I’m going to show you how to make Call of Duty 4!

You will require these necessary ingredients:

• 20 tablespoons of uninspired, claustrophobic box of a map

• one jar of linear gameplay

• one generic, military fps mixing bowl

• a three-liter bottle of character motion

• a year supply of finesse piece of tax-consuming human wood or Keanu Reeves substitute

• a gallon of perk-laced water

• big wooden spoon

Now I will demonstrate how I can make this recipe for disaster a reality!

1. Take the three-liter bottle of character motion, and let it sit in the freezer over night.

2. Find an anvil and drop it from tall building (minimum ten stories) on the Keanu Reeve’s back. Repeat step again with a replacement, if the result is more of a messy than a cumbersome one.

3. Place the frozen stiff character motion and crippled Keanu Reeves together into the bowl; let it just sit there for 10-12 minutes.

4. Now add in the jar of linear gameplay, along with the 20 tablespoons of uninspired, claustrophobic map.

5. Hold the physics and AI.

6. Mix ingredients with big wooden spoon until you feel remorse.

7. Throw the solution in the oven before you have second thoughts, and wait until it catches on fire (you should have preheated oven to 350 F by now, so it’s your own goddamn fault if you haven’t).

8. Dump the gallon of perk-laced water on your charred masterpiece, and the sheeple will be none the wiser.

You have managed to make your very own watered-down fps! Be sure to aggrandize the delusion with the seasoning of the court jest… err I mean professional video game reviewers.

Now a word from our sponsors:
