I thought for a moment you were saying I was Russian duffy What I said is a small nutshell, there's a whole load of factors concerning the prelude to the Chechen conflict, if you care enough you'll need to read up on it to gain all the facts because nothing like this is ever black and white;

Metacritic says 90 on the average review, this one's a keeper it seems!

Play Silent Hill 2, you wont regret it.

Quote from Sentura

but yeah, they have done atrocities to chechnya, and putin even promised "vengeance" for those killed. it's dumb really, because the people in russia don't wnat chechnya under russian rule, but the russian government does for some obscure reason.

The whole reason for Russia going to war in Chechnya was because of the amount of crime, corruption and links to terrorism in the country and the surrounding Caucasus. When the USSR collapsed they wanted their independence but Russia realised that by doing so they would not be in control of the chaos in Chechnya and that could lead to further escalation so they went to war. I guess they didn't want a repeat of Afghanistan. I find it funny how the US and Charlie Wilson's campaign put heavy weaponery into the arms of the Mujahideen to topple the soviet army and now in present day the US is fighting veterans of such a war that have such weapons, I guess that'll teach the US not to intervene in events that are not of their concern heh.

They already did that in Homecoming in 2008 Sentura, Jesus get with the times

A bomb attack at Moscow's Domodedovo airport has killed at least 35 people and injured more than 100 - many of them critically, officials say.Investigators say the explosion, which happened in the arrivals hall, was caused by a suicide bomber.

President Dmitry Medvedev vowed that those behind the attack would be tracked down and punished.

He ordered increased security across Russia's capital, its airports and other transport hubs.

I don't watch the news and only heard about this after seeing a forum thread on red-alliance.net (Russian airsoft board). Not even a year after the bombings at the two Metro stations. Not comfirmed yet to be by Chechen militia but it seems likely, afterall anti-terrorist operations are still ongoing in Dagestan and Ingushetia.

Sounds like an Alan Wake rip-off

Quote from skdr

I had trouble watching this to the end. I mean it's very well shot and all that but overall very boring and gets repetitive. Worked better as the short version they released before.

This. Also the combine with the katana was very lame. Escape From City 17 is unbeaten.

It looks pretty average but considering how long it's been in development for that's not really surprising.. they're obviously sticking to the roots of Duke's experience which isn't a bad thing. You're not surely all expecting originality in an FPS are you? Crazy cats

Quote from Jetsetlemming

In NS today I had a bullshit death that was funny, and not just bullshit.[Blocked Image: http://i.imgur.com/mArBZl.jpg]

That helicopter? Not supposed to be flying. A massive pack of dogs and psuedodogs were chasing me, and it was laying crashed in the woods. I climbed on top of it, and the dogs proceed to run up against the side of it best they can, at which point I notice that the helicopter appears to be a physics object, and the dogs are actually moving it. I have a few scant seconds to smirk at this before the pack happens to push it into a nearby whirligig anomaly. I was killed instantly.

That's priceless, hahaha.

I've been keeping an eye on this one since the trailer which was released awhile ago;

I'm impressed with what I've seen here, the graphics are miles more improved than Homecoming's bland artwork and I can actually see many different colours outdoors as oppose to green or blue fog.

I absolutely love these shots;

Look how much detail there is! Everything looks lived in and it echoes SH2's "Beauty Through Decay" artstyle in HD. I personally welcome the look of SH with high-rise buildings too, it works well in these shots.

The character models are very good this time around, Murphy and the Postman have great attention to detail, the female cop looks good too although her fingers look very odd, what happened to her nails?

A small criticism but easily fixed.

Yes it does look like Alan Wake in parts but that's not a bad thing and well.. see the post in the relevant thread.

Yes! THIS is the Otherworld, it screams it and unsettles the player rather than resemble an uninspiring orange steel factory ala Homecoming.

Monster designs are kinda meh from what I can see (which isn't much), I'll reserve judgement on that for later.

I'm excited

Happy belated

Quote from FrieChamp

Looks great! But is anybody else also tired of seeing Michelle Rodriguez being casted as the tough soldier girl?

Yeah it's really old, in SWAT and Avatar she's basically the same person

I haven't had time to watch all of it yet, but what I've seen is awesome, enjoy!

Quote from Warby

the screenshots look solid but do you really think its a good idea for marketing to name your mod/campaign something completely unpronounceable ?! how would i tell my l4d friends at work tomorrow that they should check out your campaign while we are standing at the water cooler ?!

The Dnieper River is a one of the largest in Europe, which flows through Russia, Belarus and Ukraine before hitting the Black sea. So you could pronounce it one of three ways technically (Dnepr, Dniapro and Dnipro for each country respectively). In English it's supposed to be pronounced "Ni-per" though, so you could go with that

First PC game I ever played:

First game I ever played full-stop? I'm ashamed to say I can't remember. Aladdin was one of the very early games I played, so was Terminator: The Arcade and Lemmings on my school's Acorn.. but which came first I don't remember. I wasn't a fan of video-games much during the Megadrive and NES days, I usually only played them at friend's houses.
