Whatever show they end up making, I bet it's no more than 2 episodes long.

as long as uwe boll has nothing whatsoever to do with this, it may actually be worth watching. i say this because Ubi has a habit of taking something with potential and then hammering it into the floor with stupid decisions, like (insert game title here) but it uses their DRM.

ENGLISH

IT'S REAL FUCKIN HARD

Protip: No-dash is also correct.

AN ADJECTIVE JOINED WITH A PARTICIPLE TO FORM A SINGLE ADJECTIVE IS HYPHENATED

FASTEST IS AN ADJECTIVE

SELLING IS A PARTICIPLE

FASTEST-SELLING IS A COMPOUND ADJECTIVE

I don't expect random dumbasses on the internet to get hyphen usage correct. I expect a "Director of Business Development" to correctly use hyphens.

The 'director of business development' was being quoted by the author of the story, so it was the authors syntactical failure.

I don't expect some random grammar nazi to actually comprehend what they just read. I expect a grammar nazi to jizz their pants when they find an error nobody gives a fast-flying fuck about.

You will die alone and despised.

So I was playing MW3 on a buddy's computer when it crashed out to desktop. I re-launch the game and at the safe mode prompt it tells me that "It appears that Modern Warfare 2 .....". Now, I know that Infinity Ward and Acti just copy pasta the entire game every year but this is just fucking pathetic. I am so glad I quit buying this trash ages ago. I hope this game gets pirated into oblivion because there is no reason for anyone to ever buy it. They don't even try anymore. What a joke.

i just lol'd hard at Dwight Howard. /-insert COD trashing comment about game not being as good as the commercials here -/

Looks incredibly gimmicky. And the lack of consequences or any hint of a decent story reminds me of why I hate these kind of games. If only such a budget was spent on a sequel to Freespace.

What's this lack of consequence you are referring to? Beating people with a 4 foot purple dildo has exactly the consequences I would expect it to. This game may be the sex toy assault simulation by which all others are measured. Lack of consequence...hogwash. Good day sir.

If AMD folds everyone will miss them. Nvidia and Intel won't have any competitors left giving them no reason to lower prices or innovate.

There will be plenty of competition without AMD. Right now there is a literal swarm of ARM based cpu's buzzing around the peripheral like a horde of locusts waiting to devour whats left of the traditional revenue streams. ARM based CPU's are fast, efficient, cheap, and readily available from multiple companies. Windows 8 has native support for ARM - when the swarm of ARM cpu's begins hitting the desktop space it is over for AMD unless they begin shipping ARM parts as well. If they go that route then they are just one of many producers in that space. x86 is going to be dead really soon. Companies like AMD - who have never been particularly good at what they do - likely won't survive the transition. Intel will. Nvidia will. AMD...probably not. they won't be missed.

AMD sucks, they can't write a driver and the Athlon was the last decent CPU they shipped. What they need to do is fire everyone involved with bulldozer right away. Holy crap are they garbage. If AMD folds no one is going to miss them - that's for sure.

I may play MW3 for free - but it sure won't be at a best buy. It's funny that activision screwed their developers out of hundreds of millions of dollars from royalties and then turns around and cries victim when the game leaks because they are going to loose a few hundred thousand at most.

A book, as you remember from last week's lesson, that is full of hate, rape, murder, enslavement and genocide.

where are the references to rape? ive found tons of references to the other things you mention here, but i dont recall any passages about rape

btw, its interesting to note that much of the nastier stuff is found in the old testament, i.e. the torah, i.e. the book that the jewish religion is based on.. where jews are described as the "chosen" people who are racially superior by divine right - wait that sounds familiar doesnt it

It's old testament law that a rape victim must marry and never divorce the rapist - if the victim is not engaged. Judeo Christian theology is largely the product of the primitive and patriarchal society that spawned it. I grew up a christian until I actually read through the bible and paid attention - up until that point I was treating it like every other christian does: An EULA - just scroll to the bottom and click accept without ever comprehending a thing. It's scary once you realize just how mentally defective and unthinking one must be to follow it - sort of like the Origin EULA.

I can sit in front of a random level I've never seen (and there are plenty since I won't buy a $15 map pack) and tell you within seconds if it's MW or MW2. Or I can tell you when I get to 5 kills as the perk gameplay mechanic was drastically changed. Along with many other mechanics.

Yeah but can you do that with a screenshot? I could probably do the same thing with 98% of the screenshots of every Battlefield game. That is because they update their engine between games.

I can't do it with Arkham City and I love that game. The press wet themselves over it. Those on this site that played wet themselves over it.


Also, if MW3 is using the Quake 3 engine why isn't id getting royalties?
That's right, because it isn't the Quake 3 engine. No more than Source is. People need to stop spreading that information. Most, if not all, the remnants of the Quake 3 code is long since rewritten.

Remember that during that interview at quake con when John Carmack talked about there still being verbatim lines of code he had written in the IW4.0 code base. Im guessing not. I am also guessing you have missed the id software logo during the intro to all of the COD's. It's a prettied up Quake 3 engine and its a decade old. Facts...why bother with them when you have fanboi kool aid.

Random Activision hack: "....create your own call of duty"
Community: "Mod tools then ?"
Random Activision hack: "How about a map pack?"

It does not play the same anymore than BF3 plays like BF2.

Uhhhh yeah they do, I played MW/MW2/BO and they're the same fucking games.

BO isn't even the same developer. I haven't played that game, but I'd imagine it would be weird if they play the same.

I can sit in front of a random level I've never seen (and there are plenty since I won't buy a $15 map pack) and tell you within seconds if it's MW or MW2. Or I can tell you when I get to 5 kills as the perk gameplay mechanic was drastically changed. Along with many other mechanics.

So, is Arkham City just a map pack for Arkham Asylum?

So you like the $60 map packs more than the $15? BLOPS is exactly the same as every other MW game. The changes are minimal at best with ZERO substantive changes between the yearly $60 map pack. They copy pasta huge chunks of the game assets (sounds, textures, models),re-skin a few things, and call it a new game. COD is the same crap year in and year out. They are literally just map packs. Its running on the quake 3 engine - and that is a giant problem because it shows how few fucks the developer gives about the game. They care so little they can't even be bothered to use an engine from this millennium. COD is dated console trash for teenagers. Which begs the question - shouldn't you be in school right now instead of trolling?

Oh so thats why my damn view flickers with jaggies whatever setting i use in catalyst or ingame, oh i forgot, im himmler reborn, right.

nah bro - your view flickers because your playing the game on a crappy video card.

i bought this once before. no need to do it again.

i really hope the first 2 comments are highly sarcastic. the game is stellar and other studios would do well to follow suite. crisp textures, proper options, insanely good looking, plays like a dream - what do you people want? ffs its almost perfect.

I'm more excited about this than the game's release by far.

^this

nvidia still has better drivers than AMD. Ill take an occasional TDR over horrible performance/visual issues/blue screens/crap OpenGL support any day of the week. To be honest though - I have never gotten a TDR unless I was overclocking the snot out of my card. I always assumed it was a heat issue so I treated it like one. Slightly lower overclock and no more TDR.

ya! How awesome is this! Leak it people (sarcasm)! Then wonder why all the developers move to a more controlled environment. Seed time and harvest...Oo

Dev's are on consoles because that where they perceive the largest market to be. Piracy is just as rampant on the console as on PC's. Gears 3 was leaked a few months before its street date. It happens all the time. Its not the platform - its the people involved. If some ass helmet making 8 bucks an hour see's his chance to be an internet boss - they will always take it. Thank goodness physical distribution will be dead in 5 years.
