Titanfall is a good game, a little light on content but the core gameplay loop is really fun.

Already bought Brink once, I'm not buying it twice, thanks.

brinks problems were a lot more than just "light on content"

At least Brink didn't require a multiplayer "campaign" mode that nobody plays to unlock content for it's normal multiplayer. :lol:

Brink is a buggy piece of poo poo that could only aspire at its best to be a distraction for pica-afflicted autistic children to stop eating their own poo poo for an afternoon while their defeated parents fix the garage door opener so they can shut themselves in and end their lives with the exhaust of their low-emission sedans, purchased as an ironic last-ditch effort to improve the world ever so slightly after giving birth to a drooling piece of genetic garbage that reduced the lives of all around them to miserable exercises in pain tolerance before suicide

Exactly. It's just like Titanfall.

Remind me; How many years did Respawn have to make the game not drop into single digit framerates?

You can't blame Respawn for the Xbone being a horrendous piece of poo poo.

Still my second favorite part of the hilarious insanity that is Blops2's campaign.

As someone who never made it past the first two stages of MW3/BLOPS 1, is out really any good?


Also, why would anybody give a gently caress about what Gameinformer had to say? They're nothing but a glorified shopping catalogue for GameStop.

I don't consider anything in Black Ops 2's campaign as offensive as Ghosts and the fact that you literally patrolled a giant concrete wall that was there to stop the browns from getting in and destroying America.

Also the fact that America thought it was cool to put a giant loving railgun in space and when the Federation hijacks it, OH MY GOD WHAT A HORRIBLE HORRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE, but then when South America builds their giant gently caress off space gun and we hijack it and wipe tons of them out, gently caress yeah space America :911:

God, I hate Ghosts.

Still a distant second to the gold standard for offensive, badly designed campaigns. (25:05)

Having two tiered perks isn't that big a deal, since you'll get the pro version eventually.

The only thing that matters is just what level of bullshit the stealth perks will be ( gently caress you MW3 Assassin Pro! :argh: ).

No poo poo. If I ran a competitive league, I would explicitly make sure that nothing was banned.
Even if the game was Modern Warfare 2.

EA would be an official partner, just so our motto could be, "It's in the game!"

I don't think you understand.

The Riot shield/C4 combo was OP as gently caress and impossible to counter in Ghosts. Black Ops 2 didn't fair too well with the patch that gave an extra 0.2ms increase in the time it takes a sniper rifle to scope which then rendered sniper rifles unusable and prompted multiple death threats to David Vonderhaar on Twitter.

Counterpoint: So? :dealwithit:

You want to win money, learn how to play that way. Dance, for my amusement.

It shouldn't be the league's job to balance the game for the devs.

Anything on resolution? I've read that 60fps isn't going anywhere, which to me is more important than resolution, though 1080p across the board would be nice.

Upscaling 640p to 1080p was good enough on the 360; upscaling ~900p to 1080p is damned well good enough for the Bone, as long as it hits 60 frames per second, dang it! :bahgawd:

Seriously, it's CoD. I love it so much I could give less than a poo poo about the graphics; but woe betide any console that can't run it at 60fps native/upscaled to 1080p for my monitor/TV.
