Dunno how many of you old timers here play video games (I always make the assumption you're all way older than me :mrgreen: )

 

But for those who are fans of the COD series and COD:4 Modern Warfare, the sequel is coming out in the first week of November for 360 and PS3.

 

Here is the latest trailer:

o54QI1OowAw

 

Lot's of fun firearms toys that you don't need a permit for to shoot.

Reserved it quite a few months ago. I have the free poster hanging in my office at work.

When this thing comes out.. on live.. we should make the NJGF clan.. haha

last time I had a ps3.... I stayed up till 4am playing it, didnt want to go into the office.

 

friggin cod4. =)

if someone buys me a console, I'd be more than happy to play along

The new trailer posted is pretty awesome. It might be video only from the campaign mode, but it looks amazing... plus, there's a lot of multiplayer vids out there anyway... I got COD4 for my 360, but I've always hated FPS on console; but I can tear it up on PC. Reserved mine already as well for PC-- cannot wait.

I'm old, I can not get into video games.

Haha. That is not a bad idea I cannot wait until November.

I would be done for a njgf gun forum lol

game looks awesome, I have my copy reserved. I hear rumors of another Nazi zombie type deal, accept it will be aliens. sounds amazing. I play cod world at war a lot if any one plays I'm DXSHOCKWAVEXD...A NJgun clan would be awesome. We would probably loose a lot , well have to apply for permits to get are guns in the game :roll:

I'm old, I just am not that into FPS games.

 

I have however alpha tested, beta tested, play tested and been credited on games from Electronic Arts and others.

 

I even wrote a graphical MUD in the mid-late 90s. Had 1500 subscribers at one point. Everquest ruined us

you mean EverCrack...I had friends soooo addicted to that game..Selling weapons and armor from the game on eBay.

Been playing COD4 for a long time now, also into COD5:W@W and getting back into H3 via ODST as well. I'll be pulling an all nighter when COD:MW2 comes out.

 

Any NJGF'ers want to do some gaming on xbox live or put together a clan, send me a PM for gamertag.

Yeah, Evercrack. I played for over a year. I had a 50 druid and a 40 something warrior and a smattering of lowbies. They just kept nerf batting everything till I got fed up. To this day I loathe Brad McQuaid.

 

I'm actually thinking about writing some new games for some extra gun money. Possibly even a small MMO type of thing. It would be in a near future time frame, after the fall of society, but not due to nukes. Possibly Captain Tripps type of thing. I haven't decided. I do know that when I wrote Highlands it was one of the most fun things I ever did AND what I learned translated into helping me get the job I have now. You can see the client I wrote here: http://thewellrats.com/malbor2/pictures/highland.jpg It's laughable by today's standards but really not bad for 97/98.

the only problem I see is the market being flooded with MMOs right now. Since the evolution of EQ to WOW, every developer is looking for the next "thing." A fall of man MMO would be interesting (always find the genre interesting), though one just came out recently (Fallen Earth; not sure what it is about, but I know its in the genre)... and I think people are starting to grow tiresome with apocalyptic/post-apoc (between the movies, books, and video games, I know I am).

It wouldn't be a traditional MMO. I certainly don't have the money, the programming talent nor the team to do all the models and scripting for that. It took about 8 of us to get Highlands to Alpha after 18 months with me doing the client and two other guys handling the server. The others did art and quests and layouts. It was really an effort but it was fun.

 

I didn't say post apoc. It wouldn't be like that. I tire of burnt out buildings and zombies coming out from every doorway. Not interested. Something closer to perhaps "Dies the fire" by S.M. Stirling. Perhaps with a mix of the world of "Running with the Demon" by Terry Brooks. I think fantasy elements can be great too. I am personally sick of swords and bows and elves. No freakin elves! Even though the Brooks Word and Void books have elves, I like the setting of the first book trilogy. The last trilogy turns into Fallout 3 and that's not what I'm after. It would have to be unique. Again, I'm just formulating this.

 

I suspect my first game will be just an adventure or short puzzle type game set in the universe that I intend to create. I'll branch out from there.

 

Man, I just googled it...sheesh...We went Alpha on 12-30-98.

Spotlight: The Highlands

 

For readers whose interest in RPGs extends beyond the major developers and their games, I try to keep an eye open for games which receive little if any publicity. Today's is The Highlands, a new "on-line graphical RPG" which recently entered alpha testing. Judging from the website, it appears to be an online graphical MUD with a combination of 2D and 3D art. The site has only a limited amount of information at the moment, but it does offer a screenshot of the client plus maps of the main city, Glenraven, and of the continent where it is situated. If you're into this type of game, there is a page where you can apply to become a tester. Although it states that no new testers are required at this time, applications are still being accepted. Take note, however, that The Highlands is still in early alpha; testers should expect a limited, unfinished game with glitches, bugs and even crashes. If you're still interested, head on over to the site via the link above for a look and for more information.

I did starcraft, diablo 2, warcraft 2.

 

 

and a bit of return to castle wolf.

The guy that was the creator of Quake lives up the road from me. Now that is some talent!

So anyone got some thoughts as to what happened in DC during the trailer? Looks like it got nuked... but who the hell are they fighting? Domestic terrorists? Civil War?

MW2 is a direct sequel, so, I'm assuming it has to do with the possible "fourth" horseman from the first game that is either assumed dead or whatever. Makarov of the Russian ultranationalists, the so-far disclosed baddie, says some pretty cryptic stuff in the infamy trailer... about how people never truly understand the pain of the fallen, until the blood is shed on their soil (or something along those lines). However, I don't think it's a nuclear detonation, or DC wouldn't be a battlefield... maybe the ultranationalists cause massive international discourse, and convince an "axis of evil" to wage open war against the US? That might explain why it seems like the troops are trying to re-take the WH towards the end.

 

Edited to add that this latest trailer just makes this game that much more epic! It is going to be so amazing

someone needs to make a remake of warzone 2100 by far my favorite game I've ever played.

This game's gonna be ridic. Can't wait to get into it. I'll play the campaign for about a week to get acclimated then work on rocking some prestige.

ETA: roughly 4 Hotels 38 Mikes

 

I won't be attending any of the midnight releases. I'll be getting the PC version, which I'm assuming will be somewhat in stock (I could imagine most stores will be out of the console versions for at least the first day or two if you don't have reservations). If anything, I'll probably stop by Target in E Windsor on my way to class first thing in the morning when they open.

 

Good fragging to everyone who will be enjoying!

 

To add:

Gametrailers has a dedicated portion for MW2. Has most of the videos that have been released in anticipation:

http://www.gametrailers.com/launch/mw2/

Im picking my copy up tonight at 12:00. Its going to be E-P-I-C. EPIC!

I am going to the store tomorrow to see if I can get it. I love FPS , but ODST is worst one I played so far.

I love FPS' too. I grew up with FPS', and refuse to play them with anything but a mouse and keyboard haha. As for ODST, I heard it was a huge letdown; basically a $60 "DLC" for Halo 3. I loved the commercials for ODST though.

I was debating getting it at midnight.. but i figure id be up till like 5am then.. so tommorow at lunch it is!

***SPOILER ALERT***

 

 

Talk about shaking it up. I watched a review of MW2 (somehow it hasn't been taken down) on youtube. Further, it has been confirmed by other news sources (to include Fox News). Infinity Ward (the creators) has put in levels into the campaign mode that thrust you into the role of playing as terrorists; bringing chaos and violence against civilians. However, it has been noted that prior to starting the game, it asks if you would want to play the controversial levels or not. It has also been noted that Infinity Ward put those levels into the game for a reason, and not just for gratuitous violence...

I'll put up what I see after I go through a play-through.

But it doesn't seem like the best of timing, eh :doh:
