I'm picking it up because of how it is not simply entertainment.

By far the most fun matches was the Infestation mode. In this new version you've reported that one random person starts as the alien hunter - in the 2001 game everyone started as a marine and it was a free for all. If you were that unlucky bastard to spawn in an open area, you died and immediately spawned as an alien. The maps that supported this mode quickly developed well known dead ends and choke points from which surviving marines could defend themselves. Oftentimes hallways would be stacked with a dozen marines, standing atop one another, guns ablazing at the few onrushing Aliens. There was a time limit, and unless the starting alien had Downs, the marines generally never won. The franticness of rushing to the rally points, conserving ammo, and staggering reloads was half the fun. Did you unfortunately spawn as far away as possible? Were you going to get cut down before you could reach safety? On a few select maps, I generally loved starting as the alien - you would hold shift to run on walls and ceilings, and just start obliterating the players too focused on running to the rendezvous point to watch their backs. With my cousin, I put many hours into this game. I hope they do a good job of revisiting such strong selling points as in old versions.

If I hadn't the social and family obligations I do, I could easily retake up this game and once again join the raiding environment. I had trouble balancing satisfaction with the game outside an accomplished and dedicated raiding guild.

I understand you're lamenting the priorities of everyday citizens; caring about entertainment when there is horrendous suffering intthe world. But "get a life"? Really? You're the one commenting on a gaming blog opposed to sacrificing time, resources and labor to aiding disaster victims.

Afterwards, however, the air just tastes sweeter, your wife is hotter, and you're no longer ignoring social events to spend three hours corralling dumbfucks and chastising downsies for not understanding how to min/max.

That being said, I'm assuming they're hoping tits might move some product.

That's all I need before shamelessly purchasing such a product. Not to mention the sweet box art.

Adds some depth to an already great game. However, I'm sure there's going to be heaps of crap out there - for every good experience a half dozen awful.

Victorian / Industrial Revolution London or Paris would offer a unique setting. The wonders of invention vs. old world; aristocratic society contrasted with the increasingly evident slums.. A great time period and perfect landscape. Fri, 4 Dec 2009 08:22:56 +0000 http://mmomfg.com/2009/12/03/contest-assassins-creed-2-1203/#IDComment45780653
