With the arrival of the Starcraft 2 Beta comes a flood of great gameplay videos. This one in particular details an old strategy put to good use in the new game. The carrier rush was a risky yet extremely rewarding tactic to pull off. It required you to turtle until you got your carriers out as fast as possible which if they came early enough were completely devastating.
Enter the Mothership rush. Essentially the strategy of old but Protoss now has some more tricks up its sleeve for holding out against the Terran player.
I’ve been playing some Battlefield bad Company 2 lately and I came across this beastly video of a guy lawn mowering everyone in sight. I have to say I really am enjoying this game a lot, tons of action, strategic game play and a focus on squad action.
I’ll be posting more good BFBC2 finds as I get them.
So I’ve been trying to figure out what the difference is between the two sights in mw2. I really suck so I do pretty badly with all weapons in general. Still I just had to know what the difference was beyond cosmetic. There are a lot of misleading forum posts that are based on nothing but hunches so I decided to link some videos that demonstrate the differences between the sights. Read on for my findings.
Depending on who you ask you will get very different answers to this question. Should you take a silencer on your weapon? You have to look at your own personal style of play to really answer this question definitively. Silencers cut both ways, sure they make your shots undetectable on the mini-map, but they also reduce your effective stopping power. A trade-off to not take lightly.
So the Modern Warfare Mythbusters are at it again and have put together another great episode getting to the root of modern warfare’s quirks. Will a car explode when you jump on it hard enough? Do Banana trees leaves block bullets? All these questions and more are answered in the most recent episode of Modern Warfare 2’s Myth Busters.
The title says it all. As the creator says “get your boner pants on” and he’s right for more than one reason. The player pitches a tent video, he’s sniping surprise surprise. Guess what gets most of the kills though? The chopper gunner. If you’re good enough to pull of the chopper reliably you too can get massive K/D streaks.
Remember what Arnold said kids and “Get to the choppah!”.
I love story driven games so it comes as no surprise that the coming release of Heavy Rain is what finally pushed me to buy a PS3. I absolutely loved the Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) and couldn’t resist the call of Heavy Rain.
I still have some time before the game is released though so I asked around for some good recommendations for story driven games. The Uncharted series and Metal Gear Solid 4 were both recommended to me.
I had heard that MGS4 had an epic amount of cut-scenes and have been a follower of the series since the NES days. For those that haven’t played the game it is broken down into 5 acts with a very lengthy cut-scene between each act. All of these scenes tell the story and tie together the numerous locations involved in MGS4.
The RPD is a beast of a gun as this video will demonstrate. This is done on Highrise so it is pretty easy to spawn kill your opponents when playing domination. The difference is that this guy gets 2 nukes in one match.
I thought I would give this a go so I stood on top where this guy did with the same setup and guess what? I got killed. A lot. I can’t aim at all though so your mileage may vary.
So now that the handy MW2 weapon calculator is out we can answer that nagging question about which is better. M16 or FAMAS. From the numbers it seems like they are exactly the same. So pick which ever one tickles your fancy. The only real difference boils down to iron sights. See the FAMAS and M16 sights.
I would have to give the edge to the FAMAS if you don’t want to take a RDS or Holo sight as your attachment. If you do use RDS or Holo pick the one that looks better since the difference is purely aesthetic.
