Party Chat To Be Limited In Modern Warfare 2?

Posted by famousfivenz On November - 3 - 20092 COMMENTS

party chatInfinity Ward may be taking steps to block one of the more commonly used methods of Xbox Live multiplayer cheating, according to a post on NeoGAF. It shows off a blurry screenshot (left), which reads: “This multiplayer session requires that you be in the game chat channel. If you don’t switch, you can’t play. Switch to the game chat channel now?” The implication, obviously, is that at least some of the multiplayer game types won’t let you have private chats with your buddies. This is solidly in rumor territory for now, but it’s a move that makes sense for the game.

It’s bound to cause some complaints among those who just legitimately like talking to their friends, but the Party Chat feature has also been used by some savvy players to continue talking strategy when the game would mute them. A dead player, for example, could give away the location of the enemy that just killed him without waiting to respawn. Given how seriously people take the multiplayer aspect of Modern Warfare, it makes sense to level the playing field. [1up]

Wii’s infested with #Rabbids

800px-RabbidsGoHomeIt would be fair to say all of us at Gameguide are yet to be convinced the Wii is a console any of us would get into. HOWEVER a small video came across my desk from the just released “Rabbids go Home” which made my eyebrows rise and question my decision on the Wii.

If you have played any of the Rayman games you would have came across Rabbids on “Rayman Raving Rabbids”. It seems these wacky partying animals have become so popular Ubisoft have decided to give them their own game.

Infinity Ward Pulls ‘FAGS’ Ad

Posted by famousfivenz On November - 2 - 2009ADD COMMENTS

gam_mw2videogrenade_580After having their game leaked to the planet’s pirating populace and catching flack for some of the controversial secrets revealed therein, one could say that the folks at Infinity Ward are having a fairly rough week. However, they brought their latest batch of hardships upon themselves. A recent viral video for Modern Warfare 2, which featured Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels delivering a PSA (video NSFW) about overzealous grenade use, drew the ire of many of its viewers.  Read the rest of this entry »

Fake BFBC2 Beta signup sites!

Posted by otenic On November - 2 - 2009ADD COMMENTS

Just a small blog post from the Official Battlefield Blog.

As of today there is no official Battlefield Bad Company 2 Beta and I wanted to warn people out there of fake/hoax sites perpetrating to have a sign-up for one.  We do not have any form of beta sign-ups, nor would we ever endorse such a practice or shady url to do so.  Please do not let these e-tards take advantage of your enthusiasm for BFBC2 in their scam and only give them the middle-finger if anything.  So, unless you read it here or from our official Twitter page it isn’t real.

Ok, now back to the MW2 action.

Carry on.

Wet

Posted by admin On November - 1 - 2009ADD COMMENTS

WETWet immediately brings to mind the Grindhouse style that Quentin Tarantino recently made popular. This styling of low budget horror, kung-fu and exploitation movies form the 70’s achieved a cult following despite poor print quality, and this homage adds to the over the top and visually violent game play that is the essence of Wet.

From the menu and load screen graphics, to the mini cinema style advertising, right through to the melting film frames when you die, Wet wants you to think you are playing the part of a 70 action hero with a modern twist. The twist being that you’re a woman.  Read the rest of this entry »
