Yeah, I wandered into the shadows in the first radio conversation in that bit. And then wondered wtf had happened. I wasn't impressed.
It is quite different to what I expected a lot more tactical, co-op mode is fun but a lot easier than the single player (hopefully friend is not as stupid as the team mates A.I) but a good game, nice change not being able to just run up to enemies and slaughter them taking cover running to new areas of cover, and then there's the graphics, the 360's first killer app I would say
I think Dead Rising would have been the first one. That game was class. N3 could have been as big as Gears of War as well if they included some form of co-op.
Co-op play pretty much sells a game these days. All of the top games have it in some form or another.
Gears of war's is a little to easy due to the fact that you can get through any level by taking cover next to each other, and then just tap X at random intervals if they die. Fun though.
I've played this game about 3 times now, and all I can say is "Wow". My friend even bought me a subscription to LIVE, just so I could play with him and not have to use his brother-in-laws profile.
The game should have fixed all those glitches before release. Like the not being able to move or shot glitch that randomly happens when you chainsaw someone. Or the voice glitch, thank god that was fixed. but also, the bullet delay on guns. Especially the sniper rifle, that gun is about as effective as throwing a stick online. I'm pretty decent at the game, it's not uncommon for me to get 10+ kills in a normal 8-10 round match. Call of Duty 2, now, is so much easier a game to play because with Gears, you can feel the weight of the characters. The weight of the guns and bullets, which is an issue that needs to be addressed as well. You shouldn't be able to trail you bullets from seven feet away and see each individual bullet on the assault rifle. I think the active reload is useful at times and a hassle at others. Useful on things like the Sniper Rifle, and the assault rifle and pistol. Useless on the Torque Bow and Boom Shot. As for the bosses, I can't say, all I played of the campaign was enough to learn the controls and fine tune my playing style a bit before going back on LIVE. I do enjoy however, rolling as the five point Crips, all of us (the team) playing the black guy, then Crip Walking on downed enemies (Whipping out the smoke grenades on Warzone, holding the aiming trigger, then walking back and forth, side to side. ) And just generally, rolling with my nine.
My team and I are pretty decent at this game when we all can get together. So look us up if the EU aren't different than the American ones.
My gamertag is Ch33d3r add me and we'll play sometime. Although it's not like I can be on everyday. Maybe once every few weekends or something.
If you add me, I'm kickass with the Lancer and Sniper Rifle. =]
Not much else like, but hey!
I'm assuming your name is the same then?....Whenever I'm allowed over at my friend's sister house again I'll add you. We already have our sniper expert and Lancer user, but if the sniper can't join us or isn't available and none of the other guys are, you'll be getting a gamer invite. As I won't be able to get on for a while, it would be easier for you to add me, that way early in the morning I won't have to struggle how to spell your name or something.
Right, I've added you, and have found out that I'm a more than adequate jack-of-all trades in GoW.
My entire team went down yesterday, and I managed to take down the other 3 people on the opponents' team using my shotgun. Was chuffed.
I'm back on Live now too, so I'll send you a FR if that's alright EkwEE.
I'm pretty decent at GoW but I'm out of practice atm, haven't played in over a month and it was showing today, heh.
Got the new maps Beat? If you need practice, you can help me finish Hardcore mode at some point =P
Yeah I have the new maps, theyre pretty cool. I'm up for finishing Hardcore with you if you need me to. I need to carry on where I left off too, finishing Insane mode. Which is literally...insane.
