Dear Geekster2012,

I have no idea what the big deal is. I haven’t bought the game because I’m not a fan of the super hardcore FPS type games. I’m more of a spray and pray kinda guy, hence why I love Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, and Team Fortress 2. Now let me find out what the whole hubbubaloo is actually about.

Well damn. That is kinda crazy.  So, you’re asking what the big deal is about? Well, on one side you got people complaining that the video game is making people feel and act like a terrorist in the video game. Because of this, people might go on terrorist rampages because they might feel like its as easy as a video game. (more…)

You’ll never know what will happen if you just throw random things in the air in video games. I wonder if I can kill someone by throwing a traffic cone.

Modern Warfare 2 (already up for pre-order) is going to be using Steamworks and Steam Cloud to provide anti-cheat technology, auto-updating, achievements and the ability, using Steam Cloud, to use your multiplayer profile wherever you go without fear of losing it. In the announcement Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling said:

Steamworks will make it possible for us to have a closer connection to our fans, and enable us to support our community much more than ever before,. Steam is the hands down leader in offering a community focused experience on PC and the inclusion of Steamworks has allowed us to deliver the most feature-rich PC version to ever come from Infinity Ward, which at the end of the day will mean the most to our fans.”

Gabe Newell had this to say:

“Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 may be one of the biggest releases in video game history. Having a game as significant as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 using the suite of back-end services in Steamworks is a signal to us that we’re making the right kinds of choices for triple-A developers like Infinity Ward.”

It will be interesting to see how the game will utilise Steamworks along with Infinity Ward’s custom matchmaking tools and how the lack of dedicated servers will impact on how the game performs. You can pre-order now ahead of its launch in the week commencing 8th November.

While watching my Charger’s get spanked by the Steelers in the first half, a small smile broke through my depression while watching the new Modern Warfare 2 trailer.  It’s looking very good and shows the horrible picture if war actually come home.

Ok, not much to say about this one but if you’re into FPSs, HOT DAMN NOW THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT! I’m a massive fan of COD4 and still play it in preference to COD5 and out of all the awesome games coming our way towards the end of the year, this is THE one, AC10 awards and all. Now stop reading and go watch. Check it out in HD and watch out for fourzerotwo.

10-11-2009 ( that’s 10th November for those in the US) couldn’t come soon enough.
