I really liked seasons 1 and 2 but season 3 got too predictable. Maybe 4 will be better and:
1. CTU won't have a mole this time.
2. Kim won't be kidnapped (not even once).
3. Nina won't make a comeback.
4. Somebody won't turn against CTU because they are threatened.
etc. etc.
true that hl2 dm and CTF:source will be slightly similar but if i get a team together we'll have all new weapons and models etc. but this project is as you might have noticed not a professional title and so it's more based on gaining experience and having fun making it instead of beeing 'the greates game ever' or something like that.
You should always thrive to make the greates game ever.
I don't think of it that way.
My interpretation is that the prophecy was misread (as Yoda suggested) and the "balance of the force" was achieved in the end as there were only two Jedi and two Sith left.
I don't mean the world wide sales when I say that I disagree.
They have good products so there is no reason to want them to step down. I'm no die hard fan, I'm just saying that the more you have to choose from the better.
But no wonder you are leaning towards 360 when you havent played MGS and GTA3->.
The 360 controller looks like a toy. When I saw the first pictures I actually thought it WAS a joke.
PS3 has wireless controllers too (that look much more original that 306's, BTW) and you can use 7 at the same time.
And you didn't mention titles like Grand Theft Auto and Gran Turismo.
