Metro 2034 Will "Compete With Call of Duty"

I know a Ukrainian and I love introducing him to people as "my Russian friend" because he always gets mad, lol.
OT: I don't know why games would aspire to compete with Call of Duty. CoD is it's own style of shooter, and I don't want a dozen clones in different historical or fictional settings. For example, Battlefield might seem similar, but I view it as a totally different style of FPS, and even though BC2 did not sell as much as MW2 or Black Ops, it's still a successful game

I thought the first one was great so I'm glad to hear that their supporting the second one more. Although I never had any problems with the controls or shooting in Metro 2033, but they might be talking about consoles with that part.
...Which is why I would invite THQ into my bed and have my way with it.
You can see they are publishers who let developers do their thing, and come out with really powerful games.

METRO 2033 is my favourite game of all time since last year, when i finished it. I simply loved it. The only major complaint I have with it is that the PC requirements are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to high..all I want is something more optimised for us PC gamer out there and i`ll be happy ^_^
I get that you feel strongly about the review, but bringing it up nearly a year after it was written is bordering on the obsessive. If I were you, I'd have a think who you're actually making look bad with these kinds of comments.Cuy said:
I did play it on hard since it was a post-apocalypse game, and its possible, its just really hard (slash twice, run, medpack, slash, desperate tantrum), and its nerving as hell, though i dident die in that section so i did something right.dathwampeer said:
Er...who said the gameplay of STALK--er...Metro 2033 was bad?
Names. Give me names! I must break their windows with bricks. :|
Seriously, Metro 2033 was a (admittedly linear) masterpiece, simply because it was atmospheric, the graphics were amazing on high-end machines, the guns handled like they probably should in the real world, and the combat was just plain fun.
Admittedly, there were a lot of problems plaguing it...like the fact it was terribly linear and there were some interesting game mechanics that weren't actually implemented much in-game: for example, the Ghosts and the Anomalies. Sure, they're in certain sequences...but largely non-existent throughout the rest of the game.
But...seriously, this game was gold, and worth every penny I spent on it. If Metro 2034 is going to be even better, then Duke Nukem Forever can kiss my ass for all I care, it'll be my vote for GOTY.

First of all, yay! A sequel to Metro 2033 is great news, I'd love for more Russian (actually Ukranian) games to be picked up in the western market.
Secondly, when will I get a translation of Metro 2034 the book, I loved the original by Ukranian (actually Russian) author Dmitry Glukhovsky, but I haven't been able to find an english translation of the sequel.

Nope. No, no, and no. Not gonna happen. Every time something in production is proclaimed to compete with, overtake, kill, or reclaim its crown in a specific genre, it sets unique expectations and fails miserably. Medal of Honor tried that tactic, and look how that turned out.
