Modern Warfare 2

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

If only it was that easy for me... I have to get a new CPU, and anything thing that will play today's games costs upwards of $300... So, Xbox for me (It's only $200)

Actually, if your in the us a Q6600 costs roughly 190$
heh

Just about any card 512mb and up is powerful enough to play today's games.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

Yeah, and a 4870 has gotten pretty cheap lately, around 110$
:P

I live in Canada. A Q6600 on newegg.ca is $239.00 Add shipping to that and it comes to just under $300... I really need a job again

But w/e back on topic

Hopefully the system requirements won't increase that much. The SP maps are a lot bigger this time around.

Balance > Realism. No attachment (in theory) should make a gun superior, and the accuracy decrease was designed to uphold that.

Of course, then the GL came into play and we lost all sense of balance, but that was the intention.

As for co-op, they won't be having a campaign cooperative mode, but instead they'll be doing what's called the "Special Forces mode." Basically, it takes all the awesome level ideas that IW couldn't fit into the story and allows you to play them seperately with a friend. They say the levels are in the spirit of Mile High Club from CoD4, which has me sold already.

Well, to be fair, it doesn't actually decrease accuracy. All it does is make the gun sway around a lot when aiming down the sights. I guess to encourage people to take single or burst shots, idk.

Either way, the decrease in peripheral vision and awkwardness at close range do enough to balance out the ACOG without adding in idle sway, imo.

Excessive use of the smug smiley and pro-gamer attitude in this thread.

Still playing CoD4, can't wait for this game, should be amazing.

Did I say 35 was amazing? No. It's above average though.
Do not trole.

As for cheaper gaming.

Most kids who play video games have parents. These parents generally have a middle of the line computer (todays standard is like dual core processor 2gigs of ram integrated audio and integrated video with a 120gb HD)

My parents have a computer similar to that (lower specs though). So one day I get Bioshock at a store. It turns out the only thing on my computer that is not able to run the game is my graphics card. So I went online and bought a $120 GFX card and installed it on my open PCI-E slot.

Since that point I have been able to run every game that has come out on the medium or high settings.

All I had to pay for was the graphics card. Which totals at $120 bucks.

The xbox I bought was $400 + Extra controllers another $60
or so + XBL $60 a year.

Which is cheaper?

Not necessarily. But you did not answer if you taught lessons? Cause a pro like you really should.

[Skill]

Oh boy, a retread of an overrated, overhyped casual piece of shit.

I'm trembling with excitement.
