For a second I thought this was an Apple buzzword generator that they actually use for marketing.

Another video, with Hardpoint Domination mode, and instakill kicks!

A video of a full round: http://blip.tv/originalgamer/…footage-6718705

Two blocks + a block as connecting bridge, for Quake 2, with Qoole none the less, the grandfather of Hammer. This was before I even knew about boxes and stuff, kept wondering what this "LEAK" message was about. I thought the endless void in the editor was the skybox!

So now the DLC "China Rising" is available to Premium users, and I've had some rounds on them. Guilin Peaks and Dragon Pass are very BC2:Vietnam, Altai Range is no cover and all snipers, and Silk Road is also no cover and all snipers. But people soon learn that being prone on a rock doesn't work. However, Air Superiority takes the title "Worst Game 2013" with the current design. Either you get stealth jets which are known to have the turn-radius of a small country, or attack choppers which are eh. And it always comes down to who pops flares first and then gets shot down by lock-on missiles. Plus people are really cheap, and hits Redeploy before they die, denying you of a kill. Just like people do in any other game mode as well, by bailing out.

Now, I am trying to unlock the UCAV for Support and I die a little on the inside when I know I have to get 15 kills total with jets to get it... not so easy when everyone bails out or you try take on a ground target but your jet is as agile as a refridgerator and just leaves a smoldering crates a second later.

And now the Double XP event is on for everyone, lasting an entire week, so BAD PEOPLE CAN RANK UP

So the console is released, and already plenty of reports of faulty ones, particularly damaged disc drives, all of them sounding like this:

Even better, one guy got his console banned while getting it to run: http://www.dualshockers.com/2013/11/21/xbo…ed-gets-banned/

Well, got mine at midnight launch. Played a couple hours of Killzone then had it shut off on me while browsing psn to then not turn back on. Tried all the fixes I found around the web but he's dead Jim... Took it back to Gamestop and they refunded and ordered me a new one to ship out at some point... I guess I don't get to see the future any more.

A guy I chat with got his PS4 last night... and it was DOA. Just a flashing blue light in his face. He got reaaal happy.

If you want more weapons for multiplayer, you got to play through singleplayer, two of which are beasts for their respective classes.

The P90 for Engineer, which has the best hipfire accuracy in the game (100%!), 50 rounds per mag and high rate of fire makes it fantastic for close quarters.

And then there's also the M249 SAW for Support, which is statistically identical to the MG4, only the recoil-pattern puts them apart, so it's a matter of taste of which one you want to use. But both these guns are incredibly good, since they have 200 rounds per magazine, allowing for very long sustained fire, got brutal rate of fire, and quite accurate as well. Personally I use the MG4, with a suppressor, so I am able to destroy entire squads without showing up with a big flashy dorito on the minimap. And then keep going as 200 rounds is a lot to chew through.

Also the REX revolver sucks.

I give up. I've played several games in a row where I have been promoted, got weaponpacks, and used boosts, only to have it torn out of my hands as the server crashes, making all of your efforts a waste of time. And for 63 other players.

When the first balance patch hits, I hope it addresses choppers. It is completely retarded that when you have two engineers on board, the bird becomes invincible. Even with multiple sources of damage to it, it just flies off as the engineers repair faster than you can damage it. Doesn't help when anti-air rockets does fuck all damage, and Anti-Air Vehicles does as much damage to air as infantry, as in next to nothing. In BF3, if an air-vehicle took a tank-shell to the face, it got destroyed. But in BF4, getting hit by a tank is just a minor inconvenience. And if you manage to bring it down, the crew has already bailed and the aircraft suddenly won't give you any points.

Also the various throwables needs to be tweaked. There is no point in using anything but the V40 MINI nades, as they are pretty much M67 FRAG nades with longer throwing distance and less damage, and you get 3 of them. The description says it has smaller blast radius, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Smoke nade is situational and does what it says on the tin, but the rest is just disappointing. Incendiary can't kill anyone even if you stand right on top of it, flashbangs doesn't work at all.

And then there is hitreg...

So the M416 is the new M16A3. Here we go again.

Meanwhile, I got the MG4 unlocked on Support and let me tell you, this thing is a death machine.

Yeah man this looks way too much like COD. Where are my giant outdoor maps? I don't want to keep fighting over like 2 blocks of city

Large outdoor maps exist, just have not been shown properly yet. I am watching people play this on console at the moment, with copies they got way early, and there is maps that are what you're looking for. Like the map Golmud Railway, which is a large open outdoor map, with one capture-point that is around a locomotive on a railroad that stretches across the map .. and you can drive it. And the cap moves with it! And then there's the map with the massive satellite dish (Rogue Transmission), looks very vehicle heavy, but it has areas for infantry as well. Looking at a guy playing on a map that is around a chinese holiday resort (Hainan Resort), looks like it's going to be a lot of long range engagements on that. Can't tell how it will be vehicle-wise, all these console muppets seem to play just Domination or TDM, meh.

Well it's IGN. Passing out 10/10's, GOTY, "Best Game Ever Made!" etc to anything these days.

Also, some store(s) have broken the street date for BF4 on consoles, so there's a couple of streams up already of people playing it on PS3 and 360.

New footage of the previously not shown before map Flood Zone.

Daniel: I am happy to announce we no longer have an XP system in Thief.

Nic: Yeah, it is not there anymore.

Why was it removed?

Nic: At first, we wanted to outline the progression of the player with XP, but it was reducing our motivation to steal. The main goal of a thief should be to gain loot. Garrett is already the Master Thief, so we saw no need to have XP as a core mechanic.

Yaaay. Maybe now we can actually call it a Thief game!

Fixed as in can be done without using lethal force, for true pacifist runs.

Good news everyone! Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Directors Cut is out in two weeks, and if you already own the game, you get a huge discount to upgrade:

So – to the upgrades. Here are the deals:

• New purchase (if you don’t already have the game): £12.99/€19.99/$19.99
• Own the basic game (with no DLC): £6.99/€7.99/$9.99
• Own the game and Missing Link DLC: £3.49/€3.99/$4.99

Pretty straightforward, and that means that if you did invest in Human Revolution in the past, we’re not trying to stitch you up with the Director’s Cut, m’kay?

These upgrades apply to the Steam version only, and the game will be available to download on October 22 in North America and the October 25 in PAL territories.

But here's the funny part: Since the upgrade is for Steam only, why release it at different dates? Come on, we don't live in a barbaric age any more...
