Woohoo!

I've been playing Halo 3 on and off for the past week and I didn't know their was so much trashtalking, every game I joined had atleast 2 trashtalkers. good job you can mute them.

got bored of CoD4 a while ago after I got to the top rank, waiting on MW2 now and ODST.

Firefight will be a blast in odst!

I much prefer COD4 online despite giving Halo3 multiple chances to wow me. I just find the player base on COD4 a lot better. I don't usually stereotype but Halo seems a bit young and fanboyish.

Even Cods hit and miss due to lag. You can go from multiple kills to dieing 10 times in a row from one game to the next depending on who has host.

The extra £RRP for COD MW2 should be to pay for dedicated servers.

+1

CoD4 on the PSN is way ahead of what live can produce in terms of latency. On live it's horrific, all dependent on the host as to whether you can hit something or not is not acceptable for a service that costs £40 a year. It's about time dedicated servers were put into place otherwise MW2 is going to be a joke...

So, COD 4, is that it?

Isn't there another game with teh lazorz?

Strife212 · 4 Aug 2009 at 22:47

Not that is also actually a good game

Nanoman · 4 Aug 2009 at 22:49

Battlefield Bad Company and 1943 are good.

I'm thinking about going back to 2142 on the PC actually. But bad company actually looks quite good and I know a good few people who play it.

The only games I've played long term have been Halo 3, CoD4 and SFIV

TBH even if I stop playing Halo 3 now it's not long till ODST is out with all the maps I never bothered to buy, I'll start again in the playlists I've never played.

I'm pretty sure ODST will get me involved again. Coop campaign with cadman/wingzero, krono and miss k is awesome and, as you said, having all the new maps I never got will get me into multiplayer again.

Don't forget the Reach multiplayer beta too... if my suspicions are right and it's basically an overhaul of the entire series right down to the technology behind it we could be in for a major surprise.

Shamikebab · 5 Aug 2009 at 00:30

I might get ODST on launch, be good to play some multiplayer with you lot again

Any hard info on reach? All I know about it is the video they showed at E3.

I don't understand why the major xbox exclusives have such poor online. Halo and Gears have staggeringly bad online compared to say, CoD 4.

Some of the fee from xbox live should be used to pay for servers really.Especially for exclusives.Gears Of War,as far as i'm aware,is the flagship game of the 360.Kinda like Killzone 2 is for the PS3.
Why the hell it doesn't have dedicated servers I don't know.I'm sure epic or MS could afford them,considering the price of live and the amount of DLC epic have released for gears 2.

Nope, nothing is known other than it will take place on Reach, the rest is just speculation.

Most likely it will take place during the events of Halo 1, but instead of following the pillar of autumn to Halo, it will be from the point of view of the Spartans that were left behind when Reach was attacked.

Hopefully this beta will be a closer representation of the game then the Halo 3 Beta was to Halo 3. I found myself scratching my head as to why they even bothered nerfing some of the weapons from the Beta since there was no good reason to do so other than the 'Bungie knows best' philosophy they seem to go by.

All I hope for is that Reach MP won't end up being the steaming pile of poop that the Halo 3 MP turned out to be.

da_mic_1530 · 5 Aug 2009 at 12:15

have to say, from a personal POW, Halo 3 MP was just dire, but then it's all opinions...
