PSN...War Games That Would Make Matthew Broderick's Dick Fall Off

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.

Whiteout.
