Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a name that rings louder than even the great HALO but, that type of success can also come with a curse. The brand name Modern Warfare means guaranteed success which also gives developers the incentive to throw things in the mix without proper research and development to make all game additions a great one.
The announcement of Third Person gameplay for Modern Warfare is incredible but the problem is the fact that this addition was just added on instead of being something that could have lifted the overall franchise to new levels and possibly new players. This generation has seen tons of third person action games and they all have something in common which is a cover system. Amongst many other things it seems that Modern Warfare and Infinity Ward is a bit too comfortable with their success that they are willing to play rushin roulette with their game development abilities by releasing a feature that is broken.
The video article below explains it all with a special video presention and deep verbal details. Check It Out And Leave Your Comments
yo gud shet HHG i actually think Infinity Ward shudve gone the MGS4 route wit the CQC system thats in that game in a way of having a variety of knife attacks n chokes and jus a more driven 3rd person mode instead of an average look n feel. the mgs4 thing may seem awkward but trust me if u look at sum utube vids ull c wat im talking bout n y it couldve been a gr8 addition n kinda created it 2 make it their own way n not make 3rd person view look bland. this is jus a bit of reference i think they shudve taken from another game out there thats in 3rd person.
Wow HHG so you must have already gotten the game and played it. I at least assume as much since your spouting off about how it’s a let down.
He did say “from what i’ve played….” so it’s safe to at the least assume that he did play the game.
HHG why are you making a video about a game let alone a specific mode you have never played yet???
3rd shooters have to be done perfectly.there’s always bad camera spots in 3rd person games.
The 3rd person view is only a mode. It’s like the classic mode in COD4 with the high jumping and picking up weapons. That’s all there is to it. But I will trust your judgment when you say they’ve dropped the ball because it seems like you’ve played it. How about you review it this Sunday on the hhgs.
I don’t get what your focus is about a “mode”
We heard the same things you were recommending about ODST could have implemented a 3rd person view but we see how long you put into that game. Look, I wasn’t expecting the features they were putting into the game that they put in for MW2 and having a 3rd person view as an “OPTION” that I wasn’t expecting in the first place is not a concern at all. It is a FPS game first and that is how I am used to playing with the series. I can adjust to change but big ups to Infinity Ward for putting in the option rather than changing it all together.
What is up with this believe that gamers want more 3rd person than FPS? What poll have you done recently that I haven’t seen? Are you going by the amount of games being released with the mode? Based on how fast ODST sold to FPS players and what is expected of MW2 before this announcement, I think you are in the minority with the concern of 3rd person view. You keep sounding like this is some new feature that hasn’t been around since the beginning. G.I. Joe Arcade says hello.
You don’t see what his focus is about a “mode”? If for arguments say this “mode” was online instead of Third person would it be more appropriate to complain about? It’s not about the option, it’s about what that option does for you or fellow gamers. From what they’ve shown it looks like it does absolutely nothing! Unless some video is shown to the contrary it’s a useless option that was thrown in. I have to agree with hip hop, if your going to add a feature why not try to capitalize. Seriously just making it so that it’s a playlist to keep it fair isn’t enough. If they only change the perspective is that okay for other games to follow suit with?
I think the majority of you are missing the point, he is simply saying that he believes IW missed the opportunity for something to expand on. He still said that he thinks the game is going to be good. If you can’t criticize an aspect of a game then why even review/rate or recommend. Yes the Third person mode is one playlist and aspect BUT it’s one that for now looks tacked on rather than a complete thought. I would agree that it is a bit early to completely judge it but going on the leaked footage that was shown i can concur with hip hop.
It is simply half assed is the point. He doesn’t have a point in the first place due to his “limited” interaction that usually these videos get made from. Here he is talking about IW dropped the ball. The game has yet to release and he stated he hasn’t experienced it himself. Typical video from HHG.
How can a feature be BROKEN that you never even played HHG? How about wait till you actually PLAY it THEN make a vidicle?
You talking about the 3rd person view as if the game was out and ppl were complaining about it. Its a option that can only be used in one mode. ONE FREAKIN mode!!! I myself am curious about it as I am sure others are.
I would agree with you IF and only if they made 3rd person view available in the MP campaign. Where you had some ppl using TP and others using FP.
LOL @ another useless Vidicle from HHG. But you know what your entitled to your opinion even if most dont agree with it.
Well I completely disagree with this article. Infinity Ward added a feature that you may never touch, so why bitch about it? It could be good or it could be bad, but no matter what it wont ruin the FPS multiplayer which is why people are buying the game.
Also, considering Infinity Ward’s track record this mode will probably be a solid gameplay mode. People didnt think much of Zombie mode last year in Treyarch’s game, but it ended up being the most successful part of the game. You dont know how this mode will be because you havent played it. For all we know this could be just as good as the last SOCOM, and it was just a added feature.
You should have waited till the game came out. When it comes out, if it becomes a success then you will look really foolish for posting this. Even if it sucks, it’s still a added bonus so you can just overlook it. People bitch about Modern Warfare being “more of the same” but then they add something and people bitch that they are “changing what made them successful.”
I trust Infinity Ward knows how to put a successful game mode in a game since they are the best multiplayer developer out there.
Please listen to the people Above HHG. I heard you say “drop the ball” 40 million times. I know you havn’t played it yet. I know you just made this video based on a blurry video you saw somewhere else. Seems like you had nothing better to do then to spew out this garbage about a “mode” in which A)you’ve never played and B)you know no true details of.
I love your passion, but your journalism skills are that of an 8th grader.
Many times you bring of great arguments and articles, but the few times you spew out this garbage it completely ruins your credibility.
You’re arguing for arguments sake. I wouldn’t need to see that belt to know you’re a pro wrestling fan.
You have style and flash. So people come and listen. Don’t ruin all that with nonsense cause you’re home alone high outa your mind and bored as hell so you go and make a video bashing some shit you havn’t even played yet.
All that said, I still probably think you’re right to a point…except that this whole “3rd person mode” is probably only a feature you can turn on in private matches.
To Torrence, I love you man. You would be one of my homeboys. You have that knowledge and an idea of how journalism is sopposed to be.
HHG – You’re alright dude, just listen to Torrence more. Realy listen.
@sylvanknoll
1. First of all homey all this being home alone, bored, and shit quit it dog I stay getting shit poppin i’m not a lame ass nigga so don’t even try to play motherfucker aight get that shit right first
2. I don’t need to play the fucking game to prove what i said in my article and i’ll answer that shit on the warzone
3. In terms of listening to torrence i listen to him alot that’s my big brother right there but even me and him disagree on things at times and there’s also times where he’s wrong too so that goes for anybody
4. and lastly stop getting your emotions all in a bunch like alot of ya’ll right now is talking so much shit but wait till the warzone dog and you’ll see was up also don’t just listen to the article hear that motherfucker so you can understand what i mean by them dropping the fucking ball aight
5. catch ya’ll later lol this shit is gonna be fun peace
I disagree with you HHG on point 2. Lots of games look good in trailers and end up sucking, and vice versa. For example I personally enjoyed Assassin’s Creed, but a lot of people didnt due to the repetitive nature and mission design. The trailers made the game look like a A+ game while it actually turned out to be a B game.
A lot of people were disappointed in GTA IV (I wasnt one of them), but prior to the games release the game was probably one of the most hyped games ever.
Other examples include Haze & Lair which dont even need a explanation.
You can also flip it to show games that didnt look well in previews which ended up becoming fan favorites like Braid, Lost Odyssey, Uncharted 1, etc. No one had these games as AAA titles when they first released, but they became classics. No one thought Uncharted would become the beast it is today, no one thought Lost Odyssey would be the best JRPG to date, and no one thought Braid would change 2D platformers the way it did.
You cant judge a movie based on a trailer, you cant base a book on what is written on the back, and you cant judge a game until you have played it. You can get some impressions from this, but you cant say that something is good or bad until you have played it for at least 1 hour.
@HHG
3 things, first lets quote HHG, “I don’t need to play the fucking game to prove what i said in my article….”
Well if you had played the game maybe then you could pass judgement? You”er passing judgement on a youtube video.
2 – My bad about the “you sittin on your ass” thing, I just know you’re sensitive…
3 – MY bad I can’t join the warzone chat…i’ve never worked with IRC and i’m playin Gears right now. I WOULD LOVE to talk to you guys, especially you torrence. I consider myself a hardcore gamer and love gamer chat… my xbox live tag is sylvan knoll and my psn is theknobb . maybe you can help me chat with you guys in the warzone…although im usually not home Friday nights…mostly listen to you guys when i’m at work.
friday nights 12 est….. type irc in the search bar on the site to find videos on how to set up your irc to get in the chat… as well as your teamspeak…
“special video presention and deep verbal details”
Dude that absolutely killed me lmfao.
I enjoy watching the articles whether I agree or not and whether I think the subject matter has real merit or not. Entertainment, that’s what it’s all about. Take care and rock on.
HHG, you’re totally right. It’s just like when NFL2k5 had that first-person camera play option. Totally ruined the game. I’m pretty sure no one played that game because of that broken option. Sure glad Madden purchased the exclusive NFL license after that. [/sarc]
1 more thing….you are entertaining….I just disgree with you saying “they dropped the ball” when in all reality they could very well be creating opportunity.
the 3rd person looks like uncharted
i saw some of it being played yesterday so if you want a preview boot up uncharted 2
I agree with you on some instances HipHop, however:
MW2 doesn’t need a cover system, what it does need is a co-op system through the campaign, period!
1. I agree that Infinity Ward brings the same **** over & over with out criticism from the media & that’s BS! IW brings small to no changes, but they dont need a 3rd person view, again they need a co-op campaign.
2. You need to call your PS3 exclusives out as well. Killzone 2 should be co-op, call em out! Basic @ss Uncharted 2 should be co-op, why isn’t it; call em out!
3. Ask these great developers of PS3 exclusives why their games must be so linear & scripted? Ask them! Ask them why they have ZERO 4 player co-op through the mission shooters? Ask them!?
4. You’re your own man, its good to get good influence by others, however, Torrence wants you to cool the fanboy rhetoric, its trash talking that keeps us talking. As long as people play the games & stop that name calling **** its all good.
Keep doing what you do, peace!
