Modern Warfare 2

Jesus Christmas. It is all out war on my PS3. I’d like to talk about 3 games that I feel like I’ll never stop playing. Modern Warfare 2, Battlefield 1943, and MAG. I WAS gonna just write about these things separately but their all so similar I figured I’d break each one down for you in one post. All 3 are online, all 3 are 1st person shooters, and all 3 require you to be war savvy and have some skills with a sniper rifle. Different time settings which means different weapons and little subtleties separate them from each other, just enough to make you want to play all 3…..all the time. First up Modern Warfare 2….

If anyone should ever play 1 war game in their life it should be either one of the Modern Warfares. Unbelievable graphics, story line, character acting, music, weapons, game play, cutscenes, and endings. This game is the only one of the 3 that is not primarily online, which means you can get your train on before you take it to the world. As in the first, you take on the role of several different characters as you proceed through the story, covering various parts of the world’s map. I won’t bore you with the details, but the story is SICK. Plot twists at almost every level ending, making you want to play the next chapter right away. OK great but the story eventually ends and this game goes back on the shelf right? WRONG. Now we also have 2 more awesome elements of this game, Special Ops and Multiplayer Online.

Special Ops is a series of either one player or mutilplayer mini games that demand all sorts of various skills you’ve learned throughout the game. Unlock more challenges by earning stars in 3 different levels of difficulty. Everything from running through training courses to snowmobile races could keep you busy for years. That is of course if you can stop playing mutiplayer online.

It’s 9 on 9 go time with a retaaaaaarrded amount of upgrades and perks as you level up. New weapons, attachments, abilities, and equipment await you at almost every headshot. Eventually you can even control Preditor missiles from above and order air strikes. Absolutely insane. Don’t worry about your level to be able to compete, at level 2 I was out scoring level 50′s and higher, it’s really easy to level up. I could go on and on here but I should move on to the next game, my final thought on Modern Warfare 2…..buy it immediately, it’s a no doubt five slab o’ beef .

Next up Battlefield 1943…

12 on 12 online only war where you are either USMC’s or Japanese soldiers fighting on War World II’s most famous battle grounds such as Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal. Now this game is download only so there’s not a whole hell of a lot going on besides the actual game play. 3 basic characters that you can choose between before each respawn. What makes this game unique is the vehicle aspect, you can operate reappearing planes, tanks, jeeps, anti aircraft guns, .50cal turrets, even call in air raids. Personally, I like to post up at the AA guns and take out the pilot bitches that actually figured out how to fly those things good. That’s pretty much it, play and enjoy. For being a very one sided game this one loses a slab but it’s a solid 4 chunk deal.

Oh boy. For real another one? Yes. Another one.

MAG?, more like OMG. This is a store bought MMO title only on the PSN featuring an astonishing 256 simultaneous game player mode. Take the last two games and mash em together for this one that takes place in the future when private military corporations falsely promote world peace only to take over certain territories and carry out mini wars against each other. They are divided into 3 corporations 1 of which you will choose when starting the game. You will be in this corporation for the remainder of your existence. Move up through the ranks by scoring XP in each battle, eventually becoming squad leader, and then calling the shots from behind the lines. This of course will require a LOT of skill, these kids are real good at this game. I’ve only played this for a couple of hours but it is a very intricate and complex game, and only the more experienced gamer should spend their money on this one. I recommend renting it to see if you can hang first. Lots of upgrades and different character development as your level increases unlocking the 256 player games at level 8. This is still under investigation for me but so far so good and I could go ahead and give this one an easy 4 1/2 already.

See you on the Network, bring your A game, if you’d like to join my clan, we’re known as the Face Eaters….call sign CHU….like we chew on your face.

Oohh build me a castle! And then blow that shit up!

Remember back in the day, when you got the Game Genie for Nintendo, and then you attached it to Excite Bike, and you were able to create all types of crazy courses and enter codes that would allow you to fly through the top of the screen and come back up again through the bottom, or other unbelievable shit that wasn’t in the original game? Remember how fucking cool that was? Well I do and it seems that my brother has taken on the same feeling. Over the course of time it seems each year a new game has an editing feature that is fun to use for about 10 minutes and then gets frustrating and then we just stop using it altogether. My biggest example would be the Tiger Woods course creator. Today, we’re going to take a look at the newest version of an editing feature called Sandbox for the game Crysis by EA and only for Windows. And this one could keep you busy for years. Now I personally have never used it, but I can tell you from watching several videos of people who have…..it’s something I’d definitely be into.

Its basically an empty land that spans for miles that you get to add anything you want to and create your own virtual experiments. Its actually the same way the creators make the game itself. At any point in time the user can stop creating, jump down on the land, and try out what he/she’s done. You control everything from the lighting, to the sound, to the physics virtually creating your very own level of play. Its really amazing what these kids are doing with it. Damn kids are getting geekier by the minute. So my brother is super into this shit and I asked him to put a little video together to show us what this Sandbox is all about. Lets see what he came up with….

Thanks little man and keep on geekin out.
