It is also one of those games that needs an "online pass" to level past 5 in online multiplayer. That means if you rent it, only level 5, and if you buy it second hand, you still have to buy the online pass. If you borrow it from a friend, you're equally screwed.

Same, I was considering picking it up next week but if the multiplayer is that bad I'll just stick with black ops.

I played 3 games online before i turned it off, and I rented it to try it out before i bought it.

The good:

-large maps, with up to 32 person games of 16 on 16
-lots of customization

The bad:

-hit detection is abysmal. I fired over 10 sniper rounds at a guy who was visible from the waste up behind a concrete barrier in the middle of the road with no effect. He was stationary too, and there is no sway or holding your breath with snipers in this one. I also fired every round in my SMG and pistol into a guy running up a hill at me to no effect. No hit markers or anything.. he just knifed me.

-not a fan of the grainy graphics

-weapons definitely aren't balanced. If you think COD is bad for that, be prepared for a whole different world with this one.

-it's easy to be a bush wookie just like BC2 etc

-The worst thing i found though, was that due to the way their version of "killstreaks" work, there is ALWAYS a helicopter up in the air with several tanks driving around

If you prefer MOH and BC2 way more than MW2 and Black ops, give this game a try, as you might enjoy it. If you're the opposite though, and like me you didn't enjoy BC2 or MOH, then this game isn't for you.

Yeah, I'm undecided between getting Homefront or getting Pokemon Black/White...gonna give Homefront a spin at a friend's house tomorrow night, so I can see for myself. But I don't much care for shoddy hit detection. :/

I don't think the hit detection is awful so much, as it just takes a ton of bullets to kill someone. The multiplayer servers are broken but they're actively fixing it (unlike Treyarch, who still haven't fixed BO matchmaking). I'm definitely going to pick up homefront.

In other news, I got Just Cause 2 from Gamefly. I had previously rented and disliked it, but Yahtzee (Zero Punctuation on escapistmagazine.com) said it was his favorite game of 2010 so I decided to give it another try. Within 5 minutes of putting the game in, I was reminded why I dislike it. The controls are not responsive at all, the grapple hook is glitchy, the game is too huge and sparse, and combat is jerky and not fun at all. It will be returned today.

I am just wondering if it's actually like the N64 version or is it just a bastardization of the old game?

Because from what I had heard from around, was that it was basically gonna be a tribute to the old game.

In case you younger kiddies never played it (or the n64 for that matter) It was pretty much the most awesome game, let alone FPS game of its time. Going 4 players on Multiplayer... after school for hours at a time, was amazing! I still want to shoot a scientist in the foot, then the hand, then the head as he runs away =)

I always seems to durf the missions, because back then it was just so much fun to screw around and kill the civvies =)

Yeah, this was kind-of around the time where we played SanFransisco Rush with all the anti-gravity, super jump, no time limit cheats.

But I would have to say, that for its time, Goldeneye 007 for the n64 was far more amazing than all the CoD games where when they came out, because it (007) was doing something that had never been effectively done before.

Goldeneye 007 is the grandfather of all modern FPS games.

Believe it or not, I played Goldeneye when I was about 4 years old. It was before I went to a "real" school and was in an unofficial daycare (staying at the house of the woman whose daughter babysat me). Somewhat unexpectedly, considering the only children in the house were three 16-year-old girls, they had an N64 with Goldeneye on it. I can't remember how many times I played that game. Good times.

Related: Yes, I played a first person shooter when I was still an impressionable young child, and look at that! I'm not a psychopath. Suck it Jack Thompson.

Played it and beaten it. It's the same story but "re-imagined." It's set in today's society, and the only character that's the same is M. Bond is voiced and visualized like Craig, and Natalya, Valentine, and Oromov are all different. Instead of fighting the russians you travel all across the world. It's a solid game, but if you know the original story/game, you'll be a little ****ed.

The multiplayer is a little convoluted. You have to level up before you can unlock the better weapons/accessories. So you have to grind out the first 10 levels with the stock weapons while other players are cruising along at level 50.

Oh, and did I mention I'm 17? (18 in May.)

1- it's shoddy hit detection. I am pretty sure I can tell the difference between bullets "having no effect" like I said and lots of hit markers

2- it takes barely anything to kill someone in homefront. I kept dying in 2-3 assault rifle shots from med to long range
