Wooo, couple of nice games of Modern Warfare 2 with Eddie. I’ve switched to tactical controller layout as I got used to hitting RS to crouch in Bad Company 2. Works well enough though I haven’t tried the dropshot yet.
Playing my silent class, silenced UMP, Ninja Pro and Coldblooded. Lots of air support and the one single time I got killed from it was when I was close to my team mates. Sorry, when I was running away from my team mates when I saw a predator missile. Not fast enough.
More BfBC2 Rush this evening and my KDR is 0.75 with 153 kills to 205 deaths. I swear, in the last game for a few rounds my team didn’t know how to arm the bomb. I saw one guy hovering around the bus with the bomb on one level, just itching for kills, not bombs.
Seems they forget rush is an objective based game.
I still haven’t heard anyone use the mic on this game.
Note to self: in BfBC2 Rush try not to end up in a squad of snipers. I swear, the guys hung back the whole time. They racked up the scores but it would have been nice to have some support out there when you’re the lone assault guy!
Note 2: when you’ve only got 5 or 6 tickets left, don’t drive a lightly armoured car with 2 passengers into the range of a tank. It’s bad for your team. And I bet that team mate of mine wishes he walked… Ooops.
Still, despite that, enjoyable games, even if I did do a bit much of the lone wolf MW2 gameplay. Flanked a few guys nicely though.
I just know I’m going to get annoyed at writing BfBC2.
Had a relatively good game of Bad Company 2 this evening. I played Rush and managed 12 for 17 deaths, over almost an hour. I know, not many at all but BfBC2 is a whole different game to Modern Warfare 2.
I did unlock the ammo box in the assault class. Makes the noob tube that bit more useful. Splash damage from it doesn’t appear to be as powerful as in MW2 but that’s probably a good thing.
I actually hooked up the mic on my headphones but I didn’t hear anyone else, even when I was wandering around with no ammo asking for an ammo box. Thankfully the medics in my squad were more than able for the challenge of playing with me. 🙂
Modern Warfare 2 free to play online to all Silver Xbox Live users this weekend according to Major Nelson!
Yes yes, PS3 players can play it for free whenever they like. Yada yada yada 🙂
Sony’s Move sounds like the Wii controller. Ars had a go with Socom recently and were impressed.
One of my favourite shooter experiences was World at War on the Wii, but I wish Sony and Microsoft would just bite the bullet and allow keyboard and mouse use in their games..
David’s been on a roll lately. Great blog posts to read for Modern Warfare 2 fans:
Spiderbite of NextGenTactics shows off some “engineer class ownage” on Battlefield Bad Company 2. Love the last bit with the helicopter crashing!
Wow, BfBC2 multiplayer is hard. My K/D is 0.27. I’m cannon fodder. *sob*
I must admit, after reading this review (and this one) I want a GP2X Wiz.
Quake 1 running on the GP2X Wiz (lots more)
You can buy the unit at Play Asia where it’s described as:
GP2X is going in the next round with a completely reworked new gadget, the GP2X Wiz!
Powered by a 533Mhz 3D flash engine, the GP2X Wiz is the long-awaited update to the beloved Linux based handheld, offering updated multi-media features, a long serving rechargeable battery, a touch screen and a new sleek design.
Play games, read e-books, see videos and play music files. Let the GP2X Wiz be your all-round multimedia parter for all situations.
‘Course my only problem is that I work at home, and when I go anywhere I’m driving and when I get there it’s usually with family so I’ll either have a better computer nearby, or won’t have an opportunity to play it. Might suit my son Adam as a portable gaming platform?
