He pretty much nailed everything right there.

I wish there was a offline multiplayer for GTA

CPU-controlled squad teammates.

 

This is supposed to be the flip side of the above, here the computer gives you a half dozen or so teammates to "help" you fight the Nazis or commies or zombies or whoever the enemy is that day. It doesn't work. It has never worked.

 

Either the AI is too stupid, or it's so sophisticated that it has become sentient and aware of the futility of living. Either way, as recently as Call of Duty 4 we've got teammates walking in front of our machine gun, eager to feel the sweet, sweet embrace of death. And then we get penalized for it.

I agree with all his rules. Better graphics don't lead to better innovation.

No it was BOOMER that DUMB MOTHER FUCKER!! I SWEAR I SHOT HIM AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MISSION BECAUSE HE WAS STUPID AND COST ME THE MISSION IF I DIDN'T SHOOT HIS STUPID ASS! (Socom 1) Last mission that ass fucked the mission EVERY TIME! oh I hate that character! LOL

[RNG187]

BOOMER! JESUS H CHRIST I HATED HIM! thanks for correcting me, lol.

[SNIPER]

That was a really good article and funny as hell. Some of those captions on the pictures cracked me up. Yeah, Boomer was a retard. They don't call him Boomer for no reason. Did he ever kill you guys by tossing a nade that bounced off the wall and back to where you were at? And you didn't have time to run out of the way, it was like "Oh shi.........." *BOOM!*

 

I don't agree with not using better graphics though. Sure, a game with great graphics and shitty game play is going to suck versus a game with not-so-great graphics but good character animation and great gameplay. The case differs when you have a franchise like Socom or Call of Duty, you HAVE to keep getting better and better, not stagnating or reverting back.

 

Socom and Socom 2 are perfect examples of a games that played great and had realistic character animations but not so hot graphics but it didn't matter because those games gave us 1000's of hours of enjoyment. HOWEVER, you CANNOT stay stuck in the same "mode" so to speak and expect to surpass everyone else. COD4 is the perfect example amongst military shooters. That game plays great AND has really nice looking graphics and it has set the bar way up for military shooters. Every other mil shooter that comes out after COD4 will be compared to COD4 to see if it's "as good" as COD4 or better and graphics WILL play a huge part in that. And that includes fan favorites like Socom. If anyone remembers the early screens for Confrontation, the graphics looked "okay" at best but no where near the level of COD4 and this was BEFORE COD4 came out.

 

Confrontation should've been released last year sometime but then COD4 came out and blew everyone away and I KNOW that it had something to do with Confrontation being delayed so they could revamp the graphics. Now we see the new videos and screenshots of Confrontation and they look really, really good. I wasn't really excited about Confrontation when I first saw the early videos and screens especially after playing COD4 but NOW I'm excited and that is mainly due in part to the revamped graphics and extra effort being put forth by the team at Slant 6.

All the rules are great. The mention of being able to play with real people is true, but failed to include Co-Op. A simple 4 letter term that can add so much to a game. Me and a few guys played CA in co-op a lot. I MEAN A LOT!! So much that we were in the top 100 in co op stats at one point, and didn't even cheat to get there.

 

Co op is the next best substitute for playing with others without being in the same room.

Sniper, i agree with you. i think Slant six is improving their graphics, creating more suspension and basically keeping us loyal fanboys tuned in, instead of getting distracted with competition, ie COD, R6V2 etc. not to mention, if the gameplay is anything like 2,3, or CA, slant six with those graphics, the maps, the modes, and the customization of characters will blow COD outta the water. only thing is, it's kinda cheap that slant six is doing that but HEY, better game, little bit later, i'm NOT complaining.

I agree Andawg. Co-op was by far the best for working 4 man fire teams.

It's amazing how playing co op with the same group of guys helps you understand each other and wht each other is going to do givin circumstances.
