Interesting to see so much stuff set for INS Beta 3 was planned all along (1911 pistol, Uzi, etc.)

It's definitely an intersting theory. Sort of a public-television type of model, which could yield some great creativity. But I'd say that the main draw to anything of this sort is to circumvent publishers, censorship and so on, which is already happening with mods and sponsors (ATI, USAF, Alienware etc.) If underground games got to the same level as independent/short film, the industry as a whole would probably be a lot better.

I view the gameplay footage I've seen as proof that all third person games are: 1. Designed almost completely for consoles, and; 2. Given camera tips from Michael Bay. Which is unfortunate. I always loved third person games on the PC, and why anyone would want this sort of constantly skewed, wooshy camera is beyond me.

Ah, Winback. The game I always wanted to play and all the video stores never had.

Microsoft published game may not come to PC. Earth thought to be round. More on these and other stories, plus your local weather at 10.

Logged some more hourse today. Got slaughtered on some ridiculously stacked servers, lots of idiots who refused to work as a team, and noobs who think they have to join a server as quickly as possible, and look up how to play later. But when I found a good game, had someone grab the ghost and call out enemy positions, and I'd throw a smoke, pop out with thermal vision and kill 'em, awesome fun. Hit detection seems god awful though.

I went through this too. It sort of combines the two great annoyances of Source multiplayer; the "bang WTF instakill from nowhere" from Insurgency with the "watch one guy with 30 health camp a doorway for 15 minutes and die" of Counter-Strike. But it's a lot like Insurgency in that. Once I joined a squad, got a little coordinated, stuck together, I had some great times. Long range combat seems the most frustrating to me, but man is the CQB stuff great.

It's not on consoles and it has a chronic space marine deficiency. Don't expect a lot of buzz.

Uh... should I give him credit?

Fucking dead on. I used to love playing the Flashpoint Demo like it was one big Counter-Strike. I spent hours on top of that hill shooting at blurry dots with a PKM. And I will never forget the feeling I got when a tank rolled past a house I was in, looking for me, and I tried to blast it with a LAW.

In some strange, intangible way it reminds me of classic maps in DoD and Firearms, which is a very good thing.

So will Doom 4 get broken GFW DLC?

My tally thus far is: -It lacks both the writing of Sam Lake and voice acting of James Mcaffrey. -It's not in New York. -Rockstar is terrible at making PC Games. -I can't recall Rockstar ever releasing mod tools for their games. -The makers of Bully are developing it... I can't even think of a straight shooter ever made by Rockstar. Red Dead Revolver was started by Capcom (and full of annoyances) and Manhunt as I understand it is part stealth.

AHEM.

It's an Ingram, not an Uzi. And it looked like zip ties holding the light, not barbed wire, which would be kind of cool. I want to get a better glimpse of those new pistols though.

Well it's in Nawlins so we know the Army won't show up until at least halfway through the campaign.

What was the name of that Scottish lord? Used a Winchester on Omaha Beach, Revolver Ocelot IRL etc.?

Only if I get to kill those worthless, prick snowboarders. Man I hated those guys.

Thank you, Jetsetlemming, for making this thread hilarious.

It's good, but it feels anti-climactic to me. They said they were saving the best for last, and I thought that would be the spy. I wish they'd do a video of classes doing different jobs. The Heavy in a stretched out spy suit trying to backstab, a Scout trying to carry Sascha, a Demoman trying to snipe with one eye...

like srsly I'm growing tired of the buildings with identical holes in the walls and missing roof shingles. Are they all too busy Stalkin' to lay some brick?

So you can carry two primaries now? Neat. I like the new HUD, but why do they always change it?

Figures. Hammer locks up right when it starts and model viewer crashes instantly.

A rifle attachment. That you put on your rifle.

Shrinker plus mirror amirite?
