Yikes, doesn't one flag CTF usually require bringing the flag to the ENEMY base since it's much harder to stop someone who's running away from you than towards you and it should be easier to defend than score? If the enemy base isn't involved whoever holds the center can score as often as they want while going to the enemy base would mean encountering resistance on the way since they respawn there. Also it looks like they split deathmatch with a point and time limit into two modes and have two LMS modes with one being forced to 3 lives...

No. CTF is always when you go to the enemy's base - or a neutral location where the flag is located, steal the flag, and take it back to your base.

For the record I meant goodlier. Which means the PS3 guy meant goodlier. Which means I was belittling his intelligence.

Spoiler tags spoil the joke...

explaining the joke spoils the joke, we both knew you were belittling his intelligence when you mentioned PS3 :p

CTF with two flags is always like that. When there's just one flag, I've seen it done both ways. I think there was a clever hack in a Team Fortress Classic map (my memory is very fuzzy on this) that first featured the idea, or at least first exposed me to the idea. In that map, you had to take the flag back to your own base. I think the next step was a mode in Unreal Tournament 2K3 that worked the way KDR explained it. That mode involved a ball instead of a flag and a ring you had to pitch it through, but that's just window dressing.

I remember playing that mode in UT2k3. I liked doing the sacrificial score where you jumped in the goal with the ball and you plummeted to your death during the victory cheer. That was my first exposure to rag-doll physics.

Well you could also pass it and shoot it, so that's where the whole ball thing came into play. It was basically football but with murder.

I've gotta put my reserve down on this game, but would like to wait and see about any pre-sell specials. Anywhere but Gamestop though...

Looked around and I haven't seen any other bonuses other than Gamestop.There is about 2 months left till release so hopefully some are bound to pop up.

How much time is left for preorder? up to the week before?

Spinnzilla · « **Reply #1062 on:** April 19, 2009, 12:36:49 AM »

I already pre-ordered it a month ago, when I still had money. Amazon has become a good friend of mine recently.

About the lack of split-screen; there was an interview recently where they said they did get it to work but it came too late in the build's process to include it. For the love of god HVS, license your engine out!

The proximity voice chat is a smart idea in my book. It clearly shows they thought about instead of just tacting it on. I wonder if they'll have a "shout" mechanic though like in Halo.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #1063 on:** April 19, 2009, 12:52:32 AM »

Good news, Ghost Busters Wii has split screen coop. It comes out in June too.

This is a case where I would fully support a delay.

Come on, guys, it's not like Nintendo fans aren't used to that sort of thing.

On this week's Listen Up Garnett Lee had nothing but good things to say about this game, even praising the story and saying the game would still be getting attention if it were on the HD platforms.

Because it's the gaming media?

The same gaming media that gave GTAIV, MGSIV 10s and Killzone 2 close to a 10? Considering how the gaming media seems to be biased against Wii when it comes to traditional games because of the lack of visuals compared to PS3/360, I tend to not take them seriously anymore. We'll just have to wait and see.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #1071 on:** April 20, 2009, 05:18:21 AM »

Especially considering GTA4 got rated higher than the GTA3s yet most people complained that it was actually worse...

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #1072 on:** April 20, 2009, 08:52:31 AM »

GTA4 is overrated, the only GTA4 review I agreed with is from Destructoid and they gave it an 8.

I completely agree, any of the higher ups around here that think GTA4 deserves that 10 is dumb. So many things were taken out from San Andreas it's crazy. GTA4 is like HD porn. Everyone thinks they want it until they realise now they can see all the scars and skin problems. f-that.

HOWEVER, I have played many hours of GTA4 and I must say I love the helicopter.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #1074 on:** April 20, 2009, 12:15:11 PM »

I definately would not say GTAIV is a bad game, but the perfect scores show how enamored the gaming media is with pretty games. I'm afraid that with High Voltage pushing the visuals so much in all their press information that the press will actually put more importance on comparing the visuals to 360/PC instead of Wii games.
