  1. http://media1.gameinformer.com/imagefeed/featured/electronic-arts/battlefield/battlefield3/BF3_Sniper_GDC.jpg With the military shooter battle between Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 shaping up to be one of the most intense rivalries in video game history, we've been waiting for more shots to be fired between the soon-to-be-warring factions. Consider this the latest escalation. Aggregame points out the rather surprising news that ModernWarfare3.com, a domain you'd assume Activision would have purchased years ago, currently redirects visitors to the Battlefield 3 website. This redirect just went into place yesterday, but the ModernWarfare3.com domain was registered via GoDaddy in 2009. Some have speculated that EA itself is behind this bold move, but the more likely scenario is that some devoted Battlefield fans (or devoted Activision haters) registered the domain before Activision thought of it and just now put this into place as a blow against the publisher. If that's not enough goofiness for you, ModernWarfare4.com was also registered by someone other than Activision. The devoted PC gamer who picked up this domain is angry at Activision for removing dedicated servers from Modern Warfare 2 and is currently running a poll to help figure out what to do with the domain that the publisher would presumably eventually want to use. The lesson? Publishers, get those domains registered early and often, even if it means rumor stories running on all of the blogs. http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/07/11/modernwarfare3-com-leads-browsers-to-battlefield-3-website.aspx
  2. Yeah I know. Take 2 publishes and I'm pretty sure they call it Rockstar something.
  3. Yes they do. They just published LA Noire and they publish all of their own games.

    I clicked the shit out of your eggs bro.
  5. pneumatic drill
  6. Bot, I call bot.
  7. And General discussion, and the xbox games section.
  8. Yeah, except everyone's fat and dumb. Similar to Idiocracy.
  9. I've come to the conclusion that the whole world is screwed. Most of those companies have their fingers in every market out there. And they have politicians in their pocket. Maybe that Deus Ex trailer wasn't far off with saying in 2027 corporations have more power than the government.
  10. And they sold their soul to a large corporation. They're going to work with activision. Get ready for a game a year, 1600 ms point mappacks that were copy/pasted from campaign, Brown n bloom, Bungie elite and the inevitable subscription fees that activision keeps talking about implementing. Can't wait for Kotick to gut another good dev. Of course EA's no better, they've ****** up bioware, second party seems to be the worst choice you can make. You should either go first party (oddly enough Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo let first party devs do what they like) or stay third. Actually publishing through rockstar would be good too, but not the two big ones Activision and EA.
  11. Read Dead Redemption: You play as a young man who inherits a rundown farm.
  12. They said it in the video. Rewatch.

Seriously, I live for this sort of stuff, useless information, corporations doing this sort of stuff, I'd hug you if I could. Here's another
  15. To late the singularity is immanent. Also I've watched a few more of this guys videos and holy shit, this sort of information is my crack, I know what I'll be doing for the next hour or so.
  16. ******* awesome. I can't wait for the inevitable AI vs AI war and then the AI vs Human war that will follow, and then the AI/Human hybrid vs Alien war that will follow that.
  17. InFamous: You play a bike courier who accidentally kills his girlfriends sister and you're trying to win her back.
  18. Dragon Age 2: This game is a sequel to Dragon Age Origins
  19. 69 rep, bow chicka bow wow
  20. Yay! Again! I don't know what I said yay about originally! But yay!
  21. That_Slidell I don't play any games online. I use PC for single player.
  22. Mass Effect 2: You're an interstellar space therapist dealing mainly in father figure issues. You spend most of the game helping various people solve their personal problems and beating away females sexual advances on you.
  23. Technically accurate yet highly misleading game summaries. EG Oblivion: The story of an escaped convict who makes off with the emperors prized amulet. Assassins Creed: A bartender must get into a machine and pretend to kill historical figures for the good of humanity. GTA4: You're a popular guy who has a colorful group of mufti racial friends and is frequently asked to go bowling and shit.
  24. At the heart of Halo 4 is a stronger focus than ever before behind story telling and player choice. Players will be offered an unprecedented level of customization and a narrative experience never before seen in a first person shooter. On a technical level Halo 4 pushes the boundaries of the action genre by incorporating larger battlefields than ever before and players will experience conflicts that seamlessly span land, sea and space Well I hope they keep that in. And I hope the single player becomes more of a focus, I'm not a huge fan of halo MM (I like it well enough it's not a religion like it seems to be with most people here) but I really like the universe. Also the second bit sounds awesome sort of like a halo battlefield mash up.
