Medal Of Honor: Warfighter - The Bear and Badger

Bollockoff

I'd just like a new approach to the military shooter. Less bombast action games like Serious Sam are more suited to and more Hidden & Dangerous.

BC3 eh.Â

Sigh :'(

Is Rainbow Six more up your street Panty?

Flashpoint Dragon Rising was the shiz. Nothing too ott, just tense as fuck.

Except you all only played it for one day ever. Bastards. And fuck you too Amazon.

Flashpoint DR was a decent game. Never completed it though as I kept getting killed on this night operation mission that pissed me off to no end. Also the game's PC controls were catastrophic.

Someone who claimed he was ex-army was really bigging up Dragon Rising in the shop a while back. He said it's the best job a developer has done at recreating the feeling of being under fire in terms of bullets whizzing past and hitting the ground around you.

Shame it's riddled with bugs.

So it is just like the real army.

Yes I enjoyed both R6 Vegas games. The more tealistic goals and situations where rewarding, tho i do recall shootin down a chopper at the end of R6 V2?
I didn't really get a chance to play the predecessors.Â

I spent a huge amount of time playin t-hunt both. I really like the V2 t-hunt map where you just assault the posh house. If only thy could get the sodding enemy spawn sorted for the next game.

I hear you panty.

Also +1 ('sup b) for BC3.

Part of the problem is obviously that this 'Transformers' approach sells. The other is the fucking idiot story developers (dont know their proper title). 3rd rate writers that couldnt get a film made if they tried.Â IntegrityÂ is washed away in place of pureÂ spectacleÂ spectacleÂ spectacle.Â Often there is no genuine story, no connection, no resonance with the player.

Ironically I felt more connected to my avatar when I was 'just another soldier' in CoD1/2 rather than any one of the named avatars in MW:1, 2 or 3.

I am very keen to try Spec Ops The Line.

I don't know that I'm so keen to be so absolute about finding a moral backbone over current conflicts while seeing no problem with WW2 etc. I understand the why, and have moments where I agree, but I'm not so sure that it's automatically disrespectful to do a current conflict and automatically fine to do an old one.

The problem generally lies in the execution.

I don't know that it's particularly ok to do WW2, but it's certainly easier to morally position yourself on the side of the allies against the nazis. Also, enough time has passed for the episode to move almost completely out of living memory, turning the war into a cultural and historical moment. It may indeed be a questioning of handling but I don't think any game at the moment is capable of presenting modern conflicts as anything other than a flag toting, jingoistic foreigner shooter. And you can pretty much count me out. Which is a pity, because I do like shooters.

Battlefield 2142 HD, Xbla bite sized summer of gaming. That's the only shooter I could get excited about right now.

Kow

I morally object to shooting robots.

FranticPea

Even robo-nazis? That eat salty fish?

monkey

I know two robots and they love playing shooters where robots are the enemy.

g.man

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE.

That's your personal taste though. There's nothing actually wrong with a flag toting jingoistic shooter.

I'm waiting for Spec Ops: The Line to drop to Â£20, although I do know that love isn't always on time.

Kow

@mod yes, I know. I've never tried to tell anyone they're wrong in their choice of game. Except for the shit ones.

I_R

You need to listen to the dev commentary to find out how much over complicated bollocks they're throwing at this.

LazyGunn

dare i say it i quite liked the look of that

pantyfire

That 'buddy' system might actually be a decent idea.
You would have to see how it plays out in reality of course but the idea of having someone that you tag along with could work.

Especially if there are a few of us all paired up.

I thought that the last MoH had the best campaign of any of the shooters, well at least I think I did as its been a while...

g.man

That stuff in that video sounds like concentrated BAD AIDS to my ears.

Paul the sparky

I'm with g.man, that sounds shite to me.Â

The first time I kill a twat cowering prone in the corner of a darkened room only to be shot by his mate cowering in the other corner, thus reviving coward number one, I'll be so irate I'll probably smash planet Earth.

Howdy, Stranger!
