ETF2L – Latest activity in “MW3 to charge monthly subscription fee” https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-17020/ Reply by ashkan https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-17020/page-3/?recent=308310#post=308310 Quoted from RaCio
As much as I dislike the modern warfare series and would like to rage on them, the gaming media kind of misrepresents the issue by comparing it to facebook or wow. From a decent preview you can gather that Call of Duty Elite will (try to) do the following: - Offer a base for clans and host different competitions. - Give statistical feedback on the performance of a player (e.g. a map that shows where he kills or dies often), on which clanmembers can make comments or for showing what guns / options are working out. - The options to compare performance (accuracy etc.) to others. This includes the feature where you can assign yourself to a group and see how you do compared to others in it, as well as checking how one group does compared to the other (e.g. people who play tennis vs. people who play basketball). - The game itself will be free, payment is mainly for the clan enviroment. I mean, it will still be a bad console port without dedicated servers and mod tools but cod:elite won't be the worst of it.
Less talking, more forwarding (you know what I mean) ;) It seems to me that they're mostly doing what others have done before them for free, but demanding money for it. Hopefully, they will at least come up with some good ideas and features, which others then can implement into their games for free.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=17020&post=308310 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 12:16:26 +0200 Reply by RaCio https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-17020/page-3/?recent=308310#post=308309 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=17020&post=308309 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 12:09:04 +0200 Reply by Tehgnarr https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-17020/page-2/?recent=308310#post=308154 Quoted from Ramown

realistic = get shot once, die or go to hospital for 2 month, get discharged, fly home, suffer from PTSD. hyperrealistic = get shot 5 times, duck behind chest-high wall and just breath it off. I hate this new breed of shooters.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=17020&post=308154 Tue, 31 May 2011 20:03:29 +0200 Reply by Mors Immortalis https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-17020/page-2/?recent=308310#post=308151 Quoted from tizzel

imagine 256 players spamming rockets, nades and rifle grenades all around the map, plus vehicles.
MAG uses 256 players and I think it works quite well. Maps are huge though.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=17020&post=308112 Tue, 31 May 2011 17:56:42 +0200 Reply by tizzel https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-17020/page-2/?recent=308310#post=308111 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=17020&post=308111 Tue, 31 May 2011 17:52:38 +0200 Reply by Spira https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-17020/page-2/?recent=308310#post=308110 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=17020&post=308110 Tue, 31 May 2011 17:48:45 +0200 Reply by Mr Mugabe https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-17020/page-2/?recent=308310#post=308096 Quoted from Skyride
Just to point out, most people already pay for XBL anyway without complaint, what makes you think people will be up in arms about this? Honestly, let them run away with this. Fools and their money will soon be parted. Call of Duty was already a horrendous game. COD4 on PC was pretty decent, but the console version was a cesspit and it's just got progressively worse with every title since.
There is still a difference between the console and PC generation. But your point is still valid though. It still hurts to see the cashflow going in the ( in my eyes ) wrong direction.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=17020&post=308096 Tue, 31 May 2011 17:24:57 +0200 Reply by Mr Mugabe https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-17020/page-2/?recent=308310#post=308093 Quoted from herpderp
I can already see the fox news headlines for this game "ACTIVISION RELEASES NEW INSTALLMENT OF CALL OF DUTY FRANCHISE, IS YOUR SON BEING TRAINED TO BECOME A COLD BLOODED KILLER BY THIS HYPER REALISTIC COMBAT SIMULATION?"
Or the other way arround :) WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN WE'RE SUDDENLY STANDING NEXT TO YOU? Rumours spread about the US Special forces responsible for the caught of Osama Bin Laden being equiped with a top secret and state of the art perk, code named "Cold Blood". Goverment officials deny every word about the project that according to inside rumours has the ability to make ground forces undetectable by enemy radar.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=17020&post=308093 Tue, 31 May 2011 17:19:04 +0200 Reply by adam-skyride https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-17020/page-2/?recent=308310#post=308088 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=17020&post=308088 Tue, 31 May 2011 17:14:01 +0200 Reply by _void https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-17020/page-2/?recent=308310#post=308084 Quoted from Pyle
Correct. They said 256 is technically possible but not fun to play. According to their research the most fun games are with players between 32 and 40. Due to this reason, BF3 won't go above 64 players ( PC ). Source: http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/Feature/250640,battlefield-3-interview---256-players-please.aspx
bf servers never exceeded 64 slots anyway the bf2's maps were huge but it was already very annoying to play with 63 mate..... a 64 slot serv already cost 120€ at least , i dont know who will pay a 256slots servers ( excepted teams with 20+ members :p )]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=17020&post=308084 Tue, 31 May 2011 17:07:32 +0200 Reply by Eledorian https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-17020/page-2/?recent=308310#post=308067 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=17020&post=308067 Tue, 31 May 2011 16:53:24 +0200 Reply by Cloud https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-17020/page-2/?recent=308310#post=308059 Quoted from Ramown
