Have to admit MoH 2010 has impressed me.
It's going to have it's issues but game play is a lot smoother than certain games out there.
It'll be a good fun PB enabled community/clan game.
COD:BO/VAC - 'nuff said.
Yeah, it's growing on me now. Gonna add it to my clan's roster of games and add a server for it. We will have some fun with it, no doubt. And yes, PB/PBBans support is what made my decision final.
+1 to you Sir.

Oops, yeah forgot about Valve. I love Valve too. (Just not Valve anti cheat, lol) I would love them more if they would release HL2 Episode 3. Damn cliffhanger in Ep2.

I don't like the paid DLC, but it's the way of things if a person wants to play the blockbuster games. I didn't buy MW2, but I know some who did. The map pack in that was released for it was pathetic with recycled COD4 maps in it. That kind of thing is just lazy and crappy. I do think that COD WaW had the most bang for the buck with all the map packs they released free of charge for PC.
Dice, on the other hand has what I would consider an expansion pack with the Vietnam game for BC2. I don't mind as much paying for something that expands the game and gives it something a little different, even if it's only a skin. As long as it's only about $15 US or so. Many past games had that. Only 4 maps for it sucks pretty bad though.
The big companies don't want the modders touching their games anymore. I believe they don't want the game to last much beyond a year. One game a year, in a series, is ideal for them. I know Treyarch said "mod tools confirmed" in B.O, but I'm willing to bet that they will be watered down, politically correct, disappointing mod tools that the hardcore modders will laugh at, if they actually release them at all.
It's time to give a serious look at some of the developers like Tripwire, who are still releasing PC only games that have the old features that we have come to expect. They don't seem to be as exciting to people as the blockbusters, but that's only because they don't have the slick advertising that EA or Activision has. My clan and I are going to give Heroes of Stalingrad a serious try. Many mods will be available for it. If we like it, it'll be bye bye to the blockbuster games for us. At least until Tripwire becomes as large and impersonal as the other biggies.
My 2 cents worth.

Yeah, sorry to see you go man. Your service was awesome and you are a cool guy. I wish you good luck and Godspeed. If I ever get to Kingsford, let's have a beer or 2. Hopefully the new company will come close to the service you provided. Have a good one man!

NP Sir!

I heard somewhere that the CEO of Tripwire was talking about having 2 different anticheats in HoS. Whatever that means. So many features.I would think that a game like this wouldn't attract the little kiddies, so maybe hackers won't be as rampant in it. Should have a mostly adult player base.

A guy named Kucd posted this on Bash forum. It's long, but is worth reading. If this is all correct, then PC gaming is not as doomed as everyone thinks. This is a 100% PC game. And will be completely moddable from what I understand. Now, if only it'll have PB, it would be perfect.

I'd rather pay $60 for a game that at least gives the end user new options, rather than another $60 for a the same featureless game I got last Winter.
Personally, I am looking forward to getting back into clan v clan scrims, and potentially ladder play.
Is VAC going to be an adjustment? Yeah, you bet! But, if you belive what you read, its pretty clear what direction things are headed in. I can respect your feelings, but to me there are larger issues one could dig their heels in over. We all had to learn our present anti-cheat system. None of us new about all the EB nuances untill we jumped into the world of renting servers and building clans. But we muddeled our way through, and had alot of fun in the process. I am looking at COD-BO/VAC in a simular light. Its a new fps series to me. A new chance to meet different people. A new learning experience all together (which I love).
I'll take a positive attitude and an open mind going into this game. Any negitivity I may have had in the past, I'll write off as disapointment in EA. That said, I wont let one negitive experience/game allow me to forget why I do this. Its for fun! Having a good time w/ my friends and meeting new people. Sometimes for me, its too easy to get caught up in the negitive, and forget about the positive.:P
Butt
I hear ya. Good points. It is all about the fun. It has now become a matter of personal taste in the blockbuster titles, when you get down to it. They all are less than what they used to be, feature wise. My friends and I have gotten used to the Dice gameplay and now COD no longer delivers the fun we used to have with it.
Who knows, VAC may surprise everybody in this title. Treyarch may support the game nicely, like they did with WaW. They made some nice map packs for that one. At least Treyarch doesn't seem bent on forcing PC gamers to have a "console experience" like IW did with MW2. They at least have thrown PC gamers a few bones.
So, it comes down to what people want in a game. Myself and my clan buds, are looking to MoH and the BC2 Vietnam expansion, along with Crysis 2 to feed our addiction. Others will love the COD series forever and that's cool too. I'm sure it won't disappoint it's fans.

Gotcha wrapped around her finger huh? Yeah, sadly I know and experience the same thing... :( Especially when it comes to fishing, hunting, or any other activity besides shopping for a new purse or shoes...
OK, I'm dead now! Good to hear that you guys are picking up another bud!
Yah, she doesn't mind me going hunting or something like that, as long as I'm not TOO into it, lol. I told her that her efforts to get me to back off on my gaming hobby is an "epic fail". Now scoot into the kitchen and make me a sandwich! Result? Testicle lock box.

We definitely have this game to offer! Also, this new beta rocks! Anyone who had second thoughts after the initial beta really needs to wipe the slate clean and check this game out. It has PB, PBBANS will be supporting it, and best of all you can get it cheap as dirt through me without hassle. It won't satisfy those that want a recorder but if you ask me, that's pretty minor considering the crap that Black Ops has become.
Our pre orders will be gone the day of release and right now you can get up to 24 slots at a whopping $.71 per slot with the coupon code monthly. This isn't a long term commitment to get the pricing so low and we don't have gimmicks or strings attached that it's limited to certain locations only for that price.
My Wife will hang me if I get another server, with 2 BC2 servers already, but my fellow clanmate and best bud will be ordering one from you Live. We are slowly weeding out all things COD and are gonna give MoH a spin. MoHAA was the game we were founded on, so it's only fitting, if it's going to be decent. Might really surprise us and kick maximum ***.
-
i know a fair number of people that believe MoH is not worth bothering with after what was presented in the "beta"
a demo or another "beta" might garner interest
Welp, the only real gripe I had about it was that it was boring as #$@& to play in the beta. The weapons were lifeless and the sound quality sucked. Looks like at least my gripes may be fixed according to the list. If it has PB and PBBans supports it, I will buy it I think. Oh, and need some GSP choices, lol. Although, Live is guaranteed my business anyway. Let's see what happens between now and Oct. I really want to see this game succeed, not fail.

I don't think I'll play any game that has some heathen anticheat like VAC. I am sticking to what works. If it doesn't have Punkbuster, it's a no go. If PBBans doesn't support streaming of it, it's a no sale. If Punkbuster ever goes out of business (God forbid), I'll go back to playing singleplayer games only. The rage I feel when playing with cheaters is mouse crushing.
-
i tried and tried
every time i got used to the clunkiness and slow response, they'd "tweak" things
plus almost all the people i play online with have given up on it
Yeah, it's not for everybody. Some love it, some hate it. I learned to like it. I uninstalled it 2 times, then reinstalled. I couldn't make up my mind. Now I have my clan buds addicted to it. It's not a bad game overall in my humble opinion. Avatar movement is clunky, but I would be clunky in real life if I had full battle gear on, along with extra ammo, grenades, combat boots, etc....
-
MOH will definitely be supported here :)
Good. Punkbuster is good stuff. That alone might cause me to buy MoH. Like I said in another thread, I ran a server with VAC. Even streamed it to SteamBans. It was the worst piece of trash anticheat ever conceived by mankind, in the history of mankind, and will be well into the future. There isn't enough evil words or curses in the English language to describe it's garbage-ness.
-
glad someone can get some use out of that game. really i am.
going to try some WaW zombies again
Not a big BC2 fan I take it? I hear ya, I hated it at first, then it grew on me. I built a Hi-Po rig recently, now it's much better.
-
+1 for the begger but seriously for boycotting another lame game :D
And a +1 to you for agreeing with me on BO being a lame offfering. To much hype for a reskinned MW2. Or, actually, a reskinned COD4. They can stick their monopoly tactics also. And their little promises with a catch. My $60 will go toward something more worthy. That's 3 months of rental fees for 1 of my BC2 servers from Low Ping.

Fixed
Lol, thanks bud!

yeah well africa and the middle east are bitching at the fact that gs has no hosting anywhere close...
I've been wrong before. Could be. What do I know anyway? I have no reputation here, lol. A "0"

I seriously doubt they are going to keep Gameservers as the only host but we will see how long that lasts...
Forever. Remember with MW2, everybody saying "we'll see how long they don't have dedicated servers, it will never last". It lasted. They can keep their DX9 ancient game.
-
Bro they got banned 2 weeks later its cool lolololololol.
Lol, yeah, if even then!

It's rather annoying to see the main argument for using VAC is that it's about as good as PunkBuster (comparable) and they all believe that because admins can kick/ban they won't see hackers.
I bet they're not going to be running servers on it, or have any experience how difficult it is to fairly admin a server against cheaters.
I used to run a Half Life 2 Deathmatch server. I had it streaming to Steambans even. VAC stopped absolutely NOTHING. I used to review the chat logs and such, and hackers would actually come on and test their hacks! They would not get kicked, banned or even scolded for it! It is truly worthless as an anticheat. I am a Punkbuster supporter all the way. Some of you may remember a server utility called Foresight from the MoH Allied Assault days. VAC might be less effective than that thing even. With games like COD that run VAC, we are going backwards in stopping cheaters from ruining our game, when we should be advancing. NO SALE.

Yup, another COD fail brought to us by our good friends at Craptivision. Indie anyone?
depends

Sorry to hear that Dude. Been there, I know how sucky that can be.
MoH beta (again)

I hear ya. Don't give up just yet though. I'm just biding my time with these blockbuster games until HoS comes out. I have high hopes for it. It will be a 100% PC game and I guess the mod tools are released to some already, from what I read. Heard of all kinds of mods, everything from the American Civil War to modern times. Too many features to list also. Plus, I'm thinking, because it's a very strategic WWII based game, it will attract a mostly adult playerbase. I can't give up my hobby yet. Times are only changing for the big names in games. Time for PC gamers to look at some other options. Everybody needs to look past the hype of the blockbusters first though. Otherwise, your prediction will come true and my high-end gaming rig will be nothing but a web surfer.
