GA LIL Is amazing

Glitchy stuff going on with the PC version. Random jitters/fps drops. Seems to be happening with dual core CPUs (and less occasionally, some Quad/Hex).

[MrMagic5239]

Don't worry, xbox was having match making problems yesterday, seems fixed now.

Just played it at Eric's house. Fun game, still think it's basically MW2 with new guns and new maps. Claymores are basically invisible, so you're ****ed if you go near one. When I played at my other friends house on his xbox I thought the graphics were ****. I go to Erics and play on his PS3 and 1080p tv and holy **** it looked 10000x better.

You are just thinking of the cods/halos stories since you obviously haven't played many shooters.

or for me at least. Also "Roll Playing Games" are often played by people who actually roleplay.

all people that play first person shooters also are in the military

There's obviously a competitive aspect to FPS games. FPS games require more reflex and "battle sense", while Starcraft requires more of an understanding of the mechanics of the game to develop strategies. FPS games are generally far more simpler.

Depends on which FPS you are talking about, but there is a lot more than that when it comes to competitive first person shooters. You are correct about reflexes/battle senses being involved, but there's a bunch of others like strafing, teamwork, positioning, strategy, controlling power ups and power weapons, learning your personal job/position on the team, timing your shots, doing the objectives, etc.

while starcraft is one of the most competitive rts games, there are a couple shooters that have some competition that is extremely close. take an rts that isn't as popular as starcraft, and it wouldn't even be able to stand up to a bunch of competitive fps's.

I'm not going to respond to this because you're either trolling now or can't see that different games require different skill sets all together

I know this, but am responding because you are trying to put rts games on a pedestal and delegitimize fps games, when there is some serious skill involved in some.

How do you know FPS pros have a superior amount of skill over a Starcraft player with their own game? Check out Korean television and you'll see that being pro at Starcraft is pretty hard ****.

yeah its totally easy to become pro at halo or cs anyone can do it

[phe0nixblade]

gl becoming pro at halo or cs
**** i've played cs for like 10 years now and i still see **** tons of playing kicking my ass
(i know that was sarcasm blazze, just sayin')

Yeah, it's gotten so bad that I can't play for more than 20 minutes without my eyes watering.

I really hope this get fixed soon. The jitters aren't that bad on Single Player, so I was able to get through the single player campaign. Quite well written, to say the least.

I've been playing more and more, I'm starting to like the game little by little. Wager modes with friends keep me entertained. Almost level 35 now.

Excellent game, but still, IMO the plot wasn't as "deep" or full of "substance" like FF games. I personally don't really give half a **** about plots in video games though. If the gameplay isn't enough to make me want to play the game I probably shouldn't be wasting my time, however that's just my preference.

I don't know where you're getting this idea that I haven't played many shooters. I grew up on Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. Only popular FPS I haven't really gotten into was CS.

I agree, however I think a game like Starcraft is more mentally taxing as it's more of a strategy game than an FPS, not saying an FPS doesn't require any strategy, I'm just saying Starcraft requires more while at the same time requires less reflexes although still requires some.

Agree'd, but that's just due to popularity and popularity alone I would think.

I wasn't trying to, I don't know where you're getting this idea that I am.

You're drawing assumptions from what I'm saying. Just because I say it's not easy to become a pro Starcraft player, doesn't mean I'm also saying it's easy to become a pro FPS player.

Also, I ****ing love the emblem design tool. I've been running around with this bad boy:

Funny to see that coming from an FF fan because it seems totally hypocritical. If you like FF games, what about FF VII? ****ty game play, great story. You shouldn't be comparing FF to first person shooters as well, both have their pros and cons.

P.s. The storyline for Black Ops was actually pretty good. The gameplay was also very good. What other first person shooter can you use like 10 different vehicles, 50 customized weapons and have a very f*cking challenging system?

Who cares about the story in COD7. I play for online multiplayer.

[blindreper1179]

already prestiged. hurry up guys!

Just because the world has evolved and has become accustomed to everything multiplayer, does not mean all us old school players follow. I enjoy a good storyline behind a game. Besides, multiplayer is always filled with minus 10x sh*t versus the story mode.

Either you skipped the campaign OR you got it early. And anyways, prestige just shows that you've played way more.

blazze are you sticking with black ops or reach for 2011
