Eh, I've had tons of fun with modern shooters on consoles. CoD: Modern Warfare, Killzone 2/SF, Battlefield BC2/3/4; all games that reward intelligent play and teamwork. They may not be as tactical as SOCOM but not everything is on the level of the mindless dreck that is current Call of Duty.

Sucks that Squicken isn't a fan of Arsenal long enough to really hate this move.

I played Black Ops with 5 friends. We won every game, I had a 500 game win streak at one point (I'm serious).
If by teamwork you mean running around knifing people then yes.

MW is definitely more geared towards mindless lone wolf play than the other games I listed but at that point in the series there was still plenty of room for smart play and good teamwork, especially in some of the non-deathmatch modes.
Black Ops was the last CoD I bought. I enjoyed it but it still felt too bloated to me compared to the first MW. By that point I had really started transitioning into being more of a BF fan.

I miss socom, there is no way to play it on a private server huh?

Well yea. If you run in full parties with friends and you're in constant communication, you will destroy all those lil kids and hear them rage. It's fun.
The lack of dedicated server is also a real buzzkill.

I think you can still do it with Xlink or something.
not third-person though
being able to manipulate the camera is half of the strategy in SOCOM

It was the last good COD game. It was so great to play with those 5 friends, it was so easy. We had to fight each other on who could use their blackbirds, and puppies first. I wish I had that amount of time to play now.

No, all those CoDs on PS3 for example. I had to play with my American buddies and get dropped in their servers. The disadvantage I had was enormous.

Not everything is for everybody.
School wasn't for Gata.
GAF is not into soap.
And NFL age isn't for you.
:jnc
I do not think you can even be honest in most social justice threads. Unless you want an argument half the time.
And NBA-GAF The New Class isn't for you.

Bad Company 2 was the shit. Put more hours into that than any other shooter since Halo 2.
Don't think TPS was ever a big genre on PC. But yea plenty of PC FPS have all those categories except the manipulation of the camera. Make sense since PC birthed and was the lead FPS platform for more than a decade.

Like I'm gonna take any sort of advice from a Steelers fan.
Belding. Perving on the much younger girls.
I honestly think the social justice threads do a disservice to the cause they promote, because their main proponents are incapable of presenting themselves in a manner that will convince people to support their causes (aka they act like petulant children).

I can see it.
Belding was one of the only characters on the show with a conscience so I can live with that.
The only problem is he was in contention for being the dumbest character on the show (tied with all other characters).
Fuck off brah, don't bring that shit in here. 2 years healthy!

My man. BC2 Rush > any other mode in any other competitive shooter ever.
I think their controller could be cool.
We are in serious need of more innovation in gaming. We should be aiming for way more control of what we are doing online instead of just focusing on production values.
Going into a social justice thread is the gaf equivalent to walking into a minefield drunk and blind. You might make it out, or you might get banned for your opinion. Best to just stay out of them.
They're rolling around in DOTA and Steam cash, right? Hard to be self critical when the checks keep coming in.
WTF. If you're going to visit your parents, how about you leave the videogames at home and, you know, talk to them.
Poor guy had to sit through it unlike the rest of us that found out what happened the day after, or weeks afterwards.
Add to it a little bit of self righteousness and it does not promote expanding your idea.
I know my mom would.
She watches movies and stuff with me anyway. She asked me for Wii Fit last gen.
