Gearheads of War

quick reply (none / 0)

Battlefield is byfar the only game that is keeping me away from my COD4. Gold Rush is an awesome game mode + the single player is decent.
I paid exactly 60 and it is worth every penny; especially since they're awards you can keep going at it. [Like Challenges in COD4]
AND; new Conquest mode is coming.. for free $$

  UT3 is the way to go, because you can play splitscreen online with a buddy.

      Though, until I get my 360 fixed, I'll probably buy the PS3 version so Gearhead play will probably be limited in my case :P

I'd just rent each game and see which one you like best. Probably what I'm going to do pretty soon, in fact.

  that costs almost $20 :P. I have BF:BC and it's a blast on 360, but I would probably go with UT3. Bots can really make a game fun.

    Where do you rent your games?
    Where I live, for two nights it'd be about 6 bucks. Five nights it would be 10-12.

I'll go with UT3 as with what i'm seeing here is that most of the guys are probably getting it. I will for 360 but not yet as i just spent £500 on a P$3.

    to know that it's good or not. My friend who lives across the street has it, and I've played it there and it's really not that fun at all. I can imagine SP being fun, but too short. But MP would get boring fast. None of the modes are fun at all.

You should definitely go with Battlefield: Bad Company. It's not the most amazing game every, but the MP is damn solid. It also has an actual singleplayer campaign. Unlike UT3, whose core gameplay concepts are starting to show their age.

- That's a great point about UT3, Dave. (none / 0)
  
  The "Quake-type" play does seem to be severly dated. Suns had even gone so far to suggest that Epic put it on ice for five years. I know that it is or was Epic's bread & butter. However, the dismal sales numbers on the PC & PS3, regardless of how Mark Rein spins it, cries out for a re-invention of the IP.

    From watching the gameplay stuff for UT3 and playing quite of few hours of UT 2004 back at school it seems like not much has changed.
    I mean the complaint about Halo 3 was that it's the same old game~To an extent, that's true. The same basic gameplay was there, just now with the best feature set to ever hit a console game; Plus 4 player co-op in the single player. At least there were loads of those improvements.
    I'll hopefully be able to rent UT3 to give it a whirl

go with UT3 for sure. I love playing it on PS3 and I can only imagine how it will be with a full room of Gearheads. This IS the game to hold over the Gearheads before Gears 2 comes out. The mods on PS3 are amazing, that's the only thing lacking in the 360 version. I was just playing UT3 on a Legos map LOL
