Hey Kevrock, are you going to check out Tribes: Ascend when it's released?  Sadly only for the PC for the foreseeable future.

Valve is creating a new CS game for XBLA/PSN/PC/ and w/e the WII network is. Its called Counter Strike: GO. Won't be released till next year but its going to be built for console "fights" so a lot more close combat and such. Will probably pick it up since CS 1.6 and source are my crap. Well they used to be anyway.

Well ahead of you on that!  I know a few others are going to try it out.  M.C. McMic, Ollie (Mr. Green), Drailer, SKULLI, and a few of us from Team Z (DBZ back in the TAA days) including Krilldog.

Where's the hangout? 10TU?  

Edit: BTW, I joined ]M[ for the very last GTT, after (AO) had disbanned or moved to Halo. Sir Cool is eyeing this release as well, if you remember him.

I think it'll be Uncharted 3. Skyrim is definitely high on my wish list as is Uncharted 3.

Fallout 3 and New Vegas are pretty awesome, just takes a little time to get acclimated to it. Put some time into it, I think you'll like it.

explain to me why there's a lot of people out there that like battlefield over CODMW?  I'm in the COD camp, quite frankly I've never played Battlefield (except for BF 1943 hehe), but I've heard great things.

While both are shooters, the battlefield franchise has always excelled in the genre. MW is just a straight up shooter with rewards for killstreaks and such. Battlefield is a shooter with vehicles, classes, and other strategical aspects that MW lacks. I don't think MW is a bad franchise since I enjoyed it a lot but Dice/EA has had the better game multiplayer wise. The thing that sucks is Activision now controls the COD franchise and will never do to it what Infinity Ward did (COD2, MW1, MW2). Activision/Treyarch aren't all that bad since I enjoyed COD3, WAW, and what I played of Black Ops, but they have been known to have a worse production staff than IW and clearly haven't added anything genre defining that IW did to COD2, MW1 and MW2.

Battlefield has been around since 2002, a year before the COD franchise, and IMO the game has a better war atmosphere than the COD series (however the Single Player in COD has been pretty awesome). I mean 64 players (24 on consoles), 32 v 32, playing against eachother in an open terrain map with destructible buildings, vehicles, hills, valleys, water, etc, and with all of that the game just feels so much better.

BF3 is 32 on console.

battlefield is a shooter, call of duty is a glitch fest with guns and 12 year old racists


watch a battlefield 3 trailer or the recent CO-OP video, or really any video of a battlefield game. it actually takes skill, teamwork and ability to achieve success. no ridiculous perks. no flying around knifing people. its a game that actually feels like a shooting game, whereas call of duty just happens to have guns

a shame because COD4 was amazing.

Also, BF is a much more squad based game and less lone-wolf style of gameplay that COD features.

call of duty has shown no interest in innovating their product or making substantial changes that would put their game over the edge like COD4 did. they just rinse and repeat every year with the same EXACT game as the year before, but with new maps, new guns, a bunch of dumb new features and a single player that is 100% scripted and to me, not that fun. (thats my opinion)

battlefield 3 has been in development for a while and they actually make an effort to create a dominant, realistic, balanced and fun game. battlefield 2 was the best shooting game i've ever played, it was more fun and better developed than every COD game combined.
