Battlefield 1943. We are back in business!

http://ve3d.ign.com/videos/42347/PC/...-Debut-Trailer.

I wonder if kidd can still fly, or stitch can kill his teamates?

Hopefully they do a learning look back and take lessons learned from the failure of BF2 (radar, UAV, locked weapons, etc) and go back to the basics that made 1942 (and thus DC) great. Running, shooting, team work.

Ouch.

Better than endlessly farming Motes of Merloc Droppings. :lol2:

There is no farming of mats in WoW anymore. Unless you're a masochist. Potions are irrelevant. Enchants are cheaply available. Even the most expensive can be purchased easily by running a few dailies.

Whatever floats your boat. Taking the heads off of zombies with a shotgun never gets old. Plus, expansion on the way soon. New maps, weapons, etc.

Looks good, now if I can just remember how to play may have play some cs and 1942 just to get familiar with that style of game play again before the release.

Evidently it does if you're already talking about playing a different game.

And about that "taking the heads off" thing. If L4D played like Fallout 3, it might be valid. While headshots are logged in L4D, the zombies go down regardless of where you shoot them. Thigh, foot, arm, head. I've taken out 3 zombies at 100 yards with a shotgun. Must be zombie-poison in each pellet.

1. I have the ability to play multiple games and not be stuck on just one...

2. L4D does differntiate between body hit locations and weapon type. While you can take a zombie out at long range with a shotgun you will have to expend many rounds to do so. Using the sniper rifle you'll have better results.

As for killing a zombie with shots other than head shots you have to remember that these zombies are the 28 Days Later variety. They are infected humans rather than the risen dead. If you learn to accept that and not begrudge the game because it doesn't fit into you preconceived, Romeroesque mold of what a zombie game should be you might actually have some fun.

As for killing a zombie with shots other than head shots you have to remember that these zombies are the lame variety. They are infected humans invented by impatient gen-x'ers with no appreciation for the true history of the genre. If you learn to accept that and not begrudge the game because the targets run around like crack-addled disfigured aliens embued with eldritch magic, you might actually stop having fun playing wow and come get distracted with us for 2-3 weeks. Before we get bored and start looking for uber difficulty modes and mods.

Fixed.

Anouther wwII game. It doesnt have anything new or special about it. I guess if you guys do end up getting it then Ill buy it but theres so many better First person shooter games out.

The simplicity of 1942/DC was its strong point. The more complicated these games get, the less fun they are. I hope they don't screw this up.

PODCAST from NY ComiCon

Highlights:
Ton of attention to Xbox/Playstation players
No cross platform playing
PC Download only?
Looks a bit cartoonish rather than gritty

*shudder*. Sounds like a rapidly advancing case of console-itis to me.

You can so count me in on that one. It will be nice to get in and hang with the AK again. Been to long. Plus my trigger finger is a bit rusty... :bounce:
