well, FPS games have take a turn for the worse lately but this has just made me realize that consoles can never replace a PC. Sure you can play FPS on them, even if dumbed down, but I could never see DotA(LOL/HON) or anything of that level of complexity on a console so I just play those now and keep my eyes open from the next greatest mod/indie game. In the end console publishers will not take any risks they will never come out with the next counterstrike, portal, starcraft, DotA, ect. Console games are always clones because of the money that is needed to make a game on a system. I'm tired of Halo, COD, Battlefield, ect but thats all consoles will ever offer.


Yeah, I'm going Indie all the way now, at least for FPS's. I may even overlook Crysis 2. Pretty much done with the blockbuster console ports.

Not that I'm pushing too hard ;) but try Global Agenda.

Huge game, Independent Studio that self publish. Massive 10(ish) hrs free demo. It's sci-fi but feels like an FPS (think Tribes 2 does Team fortress in a small wow universe)

And it's PC only - more info here: http://bashandslash.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1072&Itemid=69

Yup, just listened to the Bash Cast on it. I will try it. I love the upcoming devs that focus on the PC.

It's well worth it.

I think not having a publisher helped as well (other than steam) as all the proffits go to them, so it's about making it great and using word of mouth rather than rely on "fake buzz" from marketing (the multiplayer taliban "scandal" in MOH anyone ...lol)

Just hoping though that BF3 will live up to the hype. TBH if they just put BF2 with a more modern engine and a few teaks (use medicrates like BC2) I'd be happy.

Oh yeah, BF2 with Spec ops add on, all levels, vehicles etc with MOH or BC2 engine (as MOH is faster but with less destruction)... yum yum

I like the way you think my friend, I like it very much! I'll bet they tweak out the Frostbite engine and go balls out with it in BF3. It'll probably make both MOH and BC2 look like a Sega Genesis game, lol. I'm going to get busy on Global Agenda this weekend when I'm off the road.

Which would indicate that, unless they are planning to go for a release head-to-head with the next COD, we're looking at 2012 for release.

If they ARE planning to go head-to-head with COD, this would indicate another BFBC2/MOH style beta i.e. only small superficial changes prior to release.

beta in oct, so one would assume the game will release in nov/dec.

So it will be just like the BC2 "beta" nothing was changed from "beta" to launch. EA uses "betas" as a come on to get you to buy one of their stinkers, ie MOH
