[360] Crackdown 2
- Thread starter AzBat
- Start date
You just described MW2's MP at times.
I haven't had that issue with MW2 in team matches. I have only had people spawn behind me in TDM a couple times, although in TDM in the flat, open levels where people have thermals it can be brutal. IMO TDM sucks in most games.
Anyhow, you had a rough first go. Maybe you won't give up. Hope you stick around to learn how it differs from Halo.
Btw, playing in our 5-8 person groups is a BAD idea. When most of us only have played a handful of maps and are sub-20 rank you are still learning the ropes; in large parties you end up against clans that know the maps and are working together. While we aren't always getting creamed I notice overall, and most rounds, guys are below 1:1 KDR. Playing more open matches in pairs of similar skill level would be more forgiving. Seeing you with 2 hours into MP playing guys with 2-3 days can be brutal.
Just like Halo starting off
So, how about that Crackdown 2?
Saying that some other game is die-respawn-die-respawn isn't invalid, but that Crackdown video, I dunno. I'm not a fan of CoD MP, but it's not because I think it's bad, just not for me. Meanwhile the video for C2 kinda sorta did look bad. Maybe the players just sucked.
That said, there's something weird about how the hype for this game is being handled. When it was announced, people couldn't be more hyped. But it seems that with every piece of media you have folks (even fans of the original, like NavNucST3) going 'ehhh, I dunno'.

Interview with Billy Thomson, co-founder of Ruffian. Has some insight to how the sequel came to be & some details on the story & its importance.

I just finished reading that article above & it does help quell some of my fears regarding the freaks. As for the graphics, they touch on the reasons for why continued with the same look.

Hey it's not all bad. But even with freaks I'm not entirely sure they'll be as bad as you're making it out to be. I'd wait for more hands-on & videos.

Gonna have to agree...
Another mark against the game after Realtime Worlds was passed over for development.
How is it handled any different than most titles? You got a teaser, then some hands-on experience, then a simple trailer. What else could have been done better? Crackdown was a great game & I'm sure they'll give it their best shot on the second. It's not some biblical holy grail that can't be messed with by us mere mortals. To suggest that they haven't hyped it more or better when they haven't even announced a release date, is just laughable.

I think I'm referring to the quality of the material released. Just look at the progression of this thread. When you created it, everyone was 'YESSSS!' Now you have a bunch of people going, 'Eh, really?'
Contrast that with the way other games work the fans into a frothy boil. In fact, a lot of games manage to build up MORE hype with each bit of media released.
