Battlefield 2 kills GRAWWWW DEAD

I don't get the hype for GRAW, it's as if fancy graphics have made people forget about the shitfests that were every single GR game on Xbox and especially PS2. BF2 not only looks better to me but has proven superior gameplay.

Honestly, I don't get the hype with military games in general, but I enjoy making fun of BF2 using the word GRAW in inventive new ways. You could call it a past time.

I believe BF2 MC got pushed back to mid April now. EA backing off because of the GRAW hype? They don't want their Xbox port compared to next gen masterpiece head to head anymore.

They arent the same type of fps. I bet you most people on GAF minus the xbots well have more fun with Modern Combat since its easy to get into and online play is superb(needs xbox live). Comparing it to BF2 pc is very unfair as they are completely different games.

Does BF2MC have 16 player co-op? I didn't think so! :D GRAW seems to have a ton of variables for its online component. I think it will do just fine. UBI pushes Xbox Live more than EA does.

I'm not a big fan of BF2MC on Xbox, though. So I'm not too interested in the X360 port.

What 'great' games? :lol


graw, morrowind, new far cry? alright far cry might just be decent.

but really do you think most ppl would buy more than 2 games a month? GRAW + Morrowind would definately eat into BF:MC sales.

You might put Burnout over Far Cry. Sure it's a port but it's looking to be a pretty solid one. I know I'll be getting it.

Why would 'Xbots' prefer GRAW? Both GRAW and MC are multi-platform titles that are developed by separate teams for the PC and console versions.

Blazing Angels and The Outfit will appeal to some as well in march.

I forgot about burnout ...but yea cmon i saw the trailer and it seems like jsut another EA cash in port to me. Graphics are just a little bit better than last gen.

(and yet still looks better than alot of stuff i have seen on 360 so i will get it :p)
 
If EA really wanted people to pay attention to BF2 360, they'd release a demo since apparently Ubi is incapable of getting their GRAW demo online.

There ya go! They actually did that with the PS2 and Xbox versions last fall. It was a one level online multiplayer demo, and people ate it up. The demo had a huge community of people totally wrapped up in that one level for a solid month.

Coop is the usual excuse to try and call a game good around here. For online gaming the quality of play matters, something which is severely lacking in console gaming. GRAW just wont compare to Modern combat in that area which features 12 vs 12 gameplay(coop and vs rolled into one).

GR and Morrowind outstanding games? :lol The new Far Cry shouldnt have been made.


I may buy Burnout and MC because they are fun games but the others i doubt will have much fun in them.

wow you truly have no idea what you are talking about.
 
I usually think Deg's a moron, but he's right on with this. Console online is far far behind pc. This is a step in the right direction.

I think you are both morons. 'Quality of play' is 'severely lacking in console gaming'? You guys must be frickin' PCbots that wouldn't know a good console game if it bit you in the ass.

Yeah people sure are falling over each other to PLAY THEIR CONSOLES ONLINE :lol

I actually enjoyed Mario Kart DS the other day but more games are needed(and less dropping out from losers).
 
Yep...I'm convinced.... Deg IS a moron.

Look skippy, you obviously have no clue what you are talking about . So my best advice is for you to back out of this thread nice and slowly while the damage is low on you.

As for me... I'll be buying both and enjoy them BOTH for what they are.

I LOVE the BF series and it's a blast givent he right group.
GRAW looks fantastic as well and I'm looking forward to a more of a "thinking mans" shooter.

GIMMIE!

Quality of games is fine. Its the online that sucks. That's what I'm talking about, at least.
 
Yeah, I had been agreeing with Deg throughout most of this thread. But those last couple statements lost me.

I don't agree with that statement... but, if I were to rearrange it to read;

"It's the sucks that's online"

Then we would be getting somewhere.

Xbox live is fine as a match making service and a central connection to MS. Its the games that let it down and the fact its pay to play everything. The amount of console online gamers speaks for themselves. That no one can argue with.

Oh, so the games let it down? Like to point out all of the games that have let it down? I've been on XBL since the beginning and haven't experienced many problems at all.

And oh nos, it's less than $5 dollars a month to play online!? What will I do!!!?

Anyone who has a pc is going to have an internet connection if they want to get any use out it. Most people who only have a console might have a hard time justifying the price of a broadband connection just to play games online. I really doubt it has anything to do with quality. And I haven't exactly had any problems finding games on XBL.
