When 'Rocket Scientist' was said, I kinda expected Gordon Freeman for some reason... doesn't help I just watched Half-Life in 60 seconds.Kollega said:
There will perhaps be small improvements and changes (even though I don't see any real difference in the engine of Call of Duty 4, 5 and 6) but it's minimal compared to what id Software does, for instance. Every time a new id game comes out you clearly see the new graphical features and enhancements in gameplay.Ori Disciple said:
I have to agree with this completely. Seems that the more gaming companies try to ice things over with some slick PR Bullshit Mumbo Jumbo to try and make a bad change sound like it's in our better interests, the more it just enrages gamers more. We aren't your average Americans, and the sooner gaming companies realize they can't lie to us like the government can lie to everyone else, the better.Shamus Young said:
You can't really call every Mario game the same unless you're going to call EVERY platformer the same game, just different levels. CoD, however, is more sophisticated and can change the experience more easily than simple platformers. With Mario games you're usually confined to two buttons and movement controls, but CoD gives you the possibility to create a huge number of different scenarios. The core of something like a platformer is about keeping controls simple while changing the environment while a shooter is more about putting the player in scenarios that, presumably, require more than walking forward and shooting.Doug said:Could be worse... could be a Mario game, which they've been reselling for the past...20?

I was more teasing him - although Mario does whore himself out abit too much, but what I meant was he was complaining about MW2 being the same as CoD4: MW1, which is abit silly. Even Mario 3 was a very different from Mario 1 (lets skip the bizzaire Mario 2).randommaster said:You can't really call every Mario game the same unless you're going to call EVERY platformer the same game, just different levels.

You forgot a rather critical portion; the plot. The Modern Warfare games have been pretty good about that, since their updated setting allows them to get a lot more complex than "KILL DEM NAZEES".Tiamat666 said:
From all accounts, excellent games? Why dontcha just use the word "overrated" already?
The whole "War on Terrorism" bullshit is all the proof I need that people believe what the government tells them. But let's not get this derailed too far by going into that.Doug said:
