Will there be a MP demo, or some way to try the MP? I'm somewhat interested to get the game, but don't want to waste my money on **** like MW2.

Can't edit the post, but I've lost all the interest in the game after watching this team deathmatch montage: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/team-deathmatch-call-of/703936

It's exactly the same as MW2, only with different maps. Which I'm sure gonna be taken care of, when the first DLC going to be the map pack from the previous game (MW2).

I love how they introduce BOTS in MP Maps, solo or co-op and then Gun Game. Em HELLO COUNTER STRIKE?

Way to rip off another game/company and come out as "oh it was our idea". bull****. I love there explanation for Gun Game.

Kotaku had an article right away with modes and all that and im like really? Bots, Gun Game, come on, DO SOMETHING MORE CREATIVE.

Oh come on!

They add some fantastic features and you get your knickers in a twist because they aren't original?!?

"Haters gonna hate" I guess

What new features are they adding? Seems like this is just MW2 with a few new game modes. Game modes are features, guess you mean?

And lolwut, did I see that right in that multiplayer montage? Did they actually give that guy experience points for jumping over a ledge? Seriously? A "short cut"?? :rofl:

Next thing they'll be giving people experience for idling in game..why even have an experience system if you get xp for doing the most basic things. Seems stupid.

The problem is people thinking that unoriginal cookie-cutter games are okay... I'm sorry, but I'm sick of seeing the same thing over and over from the COD games, and it is the fact that people like you think it is okay and keep buying the **** that they shovel at us that keeps them making games like this.

I'll never buy another game that doesn't have linux dedicated server files out before the game itself is released!

Take AvP for example, I think we all got burnt on that one! We were promised that they would be out but it never happened!

Its one of the many challenges. CoD4 and MW2 (and WaW too? dont know, never played the MP part of it) had the same. There's also one for jumping from a high place to your death.

Its just a one time, easy, low XP deal, not the end of the world.

How is MW2 with a few new game modes? Incredible how you can reduce it to that...

You forget the fact that all the weapons are new, all the maps are new, the story and co-op mode are all new. And new features like Theatre/video-editor, bots, character & weapons customization and the new XP and credit system...

You act like I've just joined the Nazi party.

I enjoy it, that's why it's ok(Playing COD, not joining the Nazi party).

I'm not going to lie, some of those Free for All modes in the trailer look pretty cool. I'm still don't plan on buying this game (Halo Reach has nullified any temptation I had to get Black Ops), but Treyarch is doing a better job than I thought they would. Still, my biggest problem with World at War was the crappy selection of maps, and the verdict is certainly still out on that. All of the fancy game modes in the world won't matter if there isn't a single fun map to play them on. Hey, if the worst comes to pass, they could always sell some CoD4 maps as DLC, right?

Gungame = Sold.

I am now buying this. Also can we get this [Official]'d?

Not until this get's released. I love the system on NeoGAF where there is a new topic for new news, so it doesn't get lost in an official topic, and then when the game comes out a topic will be made and official.

I saw the trailers and I just saw MW2. The only thing that I liked is maybe the new game modes.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more

      Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
