If recent Infinity Ward job listings are to be believed, the next Modern Warfare is going to be very, very pretty. Also, very Battlefield-y.

Man vs. Machine Breaks FPS World Record

Posted Jan 31, 2012 at 3:41PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: man vs. machine, muchdifferent, planetside, world record

Did you know there’s a Guinness Record for most players online in an FPS? There is!

Browser-based first-person shooter Man vs. Machine may not have the hard numbers of a Call of Duty or a Battlefield, but it does have one thing no other shooter can claim – the Guinness-confirmed World Record for most simultaneous players in a match. Because that’s totally a thing.

The previous record, set by Planetside, was 600 players. Man vs. Machine demolished the old record with an astounding 999 concurrent players, all gleefully blasting each other into debris. Sadly, MuchDifferent, the studio behind the game and the event, fell just shy of their actual goal of 1,000 players.

The CEO of MuchDifferent, Christian Lönnholm, had nothing but positive comments regarding the event. He celebrated the lag-free performance of the title, and the sheer fun of so many players competing at once. He did lament missing the record, but was absolutely pleased by the massive turnout and the strong performance of the game under such stress.

What’s the largest online match you’ve ever been in? Would you want to compete with 998 other players at once?

Modern Warfare 3 Has Spawn Problems

Posted Jan 2, 2012 at 5:13PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Infinity Ward, modern warfare 3, mw3

Gamer scores 144 kills and 4 deaths in one MW3 match, and in the process demonstrates one of the game’s biggest problems.

Look, it’s 2012. Spawn trapping – the act of locking an opposing team into one spawn area and mercilessly camping them – simply shouldn’t be possible in games anymore. Developers, by now, should know how to circumvent this problem. However, the issue seems to have slipped the mind of devs over at Infinity Ward, as evidenced by this video:

In the clip, one MW3 player, with the help of his team, manages to summon a M.O.A.B. in just 48 seconds by peeking over a wall into the enemy spawn and absolutely wrecking the other team as they respawn helplessly. It’s a cheap tactic from any point of view, but the real amazing thing is that it’s even possible in a game that supposed to be one of the best shooters ever made.

This problem is rampant in certain MW3 game modes, and the developers are going to need to find some way to repair it if they want to keep the community happy and engaged. The players in the video aren’t necessarily cheating, so the only recourse is to prevent the problem from happening in the first place.

What do you think should be done to stop matches like this from taking place?

Modern Warfare 3 is Apparently Very Successful

Posted Dec 12, 2011 at 4:21PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: battlefield, call of duty, cod elite, modern warfare 3

Did you guys know that people like Call of Duty games? Because Activision is reporting huge profits for the latest entry in the series.

Okay, I promise this is the last news post about how much money Modern Warfare is making. Honestly, I wasn’t even going to post it, but it’s just such a big deal there’s really no way to avoid it.

Activision has reported that Modern Warfare 3 has raked in an astonishing $1 billion in its first 16 days of launch. That’s faster than Avatar, which took 17 days to break a billion after it was released in 2010. The published has also reported that there are over 30 million people playing one version of Call of Duty or the other, making it one of the biggest gaming communities in the world.

As the publisher notes, the CoD community is now larger than the populations of New York, Paris, Madrid, Tokyo and London. Beat that, Battlefield! They also boasted that CoD Elite, the barely-functioning online service launched with MW3, has landed six million players. They compared this figure to sign-ups for Hulu, Xbox Live and Netflix, but I’m not sure that’s a fair comparison considering most of those companies were doing something completely new rather than piggybacking a service onto a successful product.

Like I’ve said before, I’m a Battlefield guy. But, any big success should be celebrated, so hats off to the folks at Infinity Ward for making such a popular game. And also to Activision, for an unmatched marketing blitz.

Are you one of the 30 million Call of Duty players?

Infinity Ward Swings the MW3 Banhammer

Posted Nov 21, 2011 at 2:00PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Infinity Ward, modern warfare 2, modern warfare 3

Over 1,600 cheating cheaters have been banned from the game since its launch on the 8th.

There’s something uniquely “Call of Duty” about glitching and cheating. I’ve played plenty of online games, but glitchers seem to be more prevalent in the Modern Warfare games than any other. That’s not to say that there aren’t millions of awesome players working hard to build a great community, but the franchise always seems to have a bigger-than-average collection of bad apples.

Luckily for us nice players, Infinity Ward is watching Modern Warfare 3 carefully and staging precision missile strikes on the accounts of sneaky, unscrupulous gamers.

Robert Bowling, the voice of Infinity Ward in most situations, recently announced on Twitter that the account team there has banned over 1,600 accounts and counting. He goes on to state that any attempt to cheat or hack will be met with a zero-tolerance policy.

Infinity Ward is working hard to fix some of the exploits discovered, such as one that allows infinite stealth bomber runs and a number of basic clipping problems. Most games have a few minor issues at launch, and there doesn’t seem to be anything on the scale of Modern Warfare 2’s care package glitch, so MW3 is doing just fine. It needs a bit of help from its players right now, but most multiplayer matches are being executed without any troubles.

Have you run into any cheating cheaters in MW3 matches? If so, use the post-game report feature to let Infinity Ward know, and share your stories with us!

Wal-Mart Black Friday Sale is Good for Gamers

Posted Nov 11, 2011 at 1:37PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Black Friday, gears of war 3, kinect sports, mario and sonic

If you’re having trouble keeping up with the steady stream of fall releases, Black Friday may provide you with a nice opportunity for picking up anything you’ve missed.

Black Friday is a strange tradition, but it’s one that holds quite a bit of marketing sway here in the States. I’m not sure why exactly everyone decided that the day after Thanksgiving was the best shopping day of the year, or why retailers decided to turn it into a cataclysmic shopping event, but that’s just the world we live in now. Black Friday sales amount for a seriously large percentage of holiday revenue.

If waiting in line at stores early in the morning and trampling other people to get electronic goods is your speed, Wal-Mart has you covered with this year’s ridiculous video game Black Friday offers.

Here’s a basic rundown on what you’ll find at the big-box retailer on shopping’s most intense day:

$199 Xbox Bundle 1

4G Xbox 360

3 months of Live

Gears of War 3

$50 Wal-Mart gift card

$199 Xbox Bundle 2

4G Xbox 360

Kinect

Kinect Adventures

$50 Wal-Mart gift card

$199 PS3 Bundle

160GB PS3

Ratchet & Clank All 4 One

LittleBigPlanet 2

3 months of Sony Plus

$100 Wii Bundle

Blue Nintendo Wii

Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games

If consoles aren’t your bag, the software deals are pretty sharp as well: For $28, you can pick up Gears of War 3, Arkham City, Call of Duty: Black Ops and Infamous 3. $15 snags you Kinect Sports 2 and Dance Central 2, and Yakuza 4 is on sale for $10. There are a number of other specials going on, but those seem to be the most high profile.

Is it worth braving the crowds and chaos to grab a good deal on games?

Sam Worthington and Jonah Hill Plug Modern Warfare 3

Posted Nov 5, 2011 at 2:04PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: jonah hill, modern warfare 3, sam worthington

The Call of Duty franchise continues one of the best game ad campaigns of all time with the most recent version of “There’s a Soldier in All of Us.”

The commercial for last year’s Call of Duty: Black Ops, was an excellent addition to the world of games advertising. Instead of marketing the game’s set pieces, graphics or play style, it focused instead on the core experience of the title – regular people getting to play dress-up and be elite soldiers for a day. I think most people would agree that it was a home run.

Activision is continuing in the same vein with this commercial for Modern Warfare 3, which stars Jonah Hill and Sam Worthington:

The commercial appears to be a shorter version of a long ad, so we’ll just have to wait for the whole thing to come out before we can get an idea of exactly what’s going on. I don’t find this one as appealing as the Black Ops commercial, simply because Black Ops had much more “normal person” representation.

What do you think of the latest MW3 commercial?

Gamers Donate £21,000 to Sick Girl Through In-App iPhone Purchases

Posted Oct 26, 2011 at 5:13PM EST by Listed in: iPhone Tags: big idea digital, grace windram, say what you see

One mobile games developer has shown what gamers can do to help the people around them and have a positive impact on the world.

Grace Windram is a five-year-old little girl that was born with spastic dyplegic cerebral palsy. The disease causes issues with her motor functions, leaving her unable to walk. Her parents were elated when she was selected to receive a complicated operation at St. Louis Children's Hospital. The operation won’t solve her problems, but along with physical therapy may allow her to someday walk on her own.

Naturally, the operation is expensive. Grace’s parents have been trying to raise money to help cover the costs, and somehow connected to Big Idea Digital, a mobile developer with a few established iOS titles under their belt. The solution Big Idea came up with is pretty simple – they added a $.99 in-app purchase to one of their popular games, Say What You See: The Collection. The new level was added in September and was titled “Grace’s Level.”

While $.99 may not sound like much at first blush, gamers managed to raise over £21,000 in the span of just about two months. With this large pile of cash rolling in from the app, Grace’s parents eclipsed their original fundraising goals and should now be able to cover the operation and the therapy that follows it.

Grace’s mother had this to say about the app and its success:

“"We will be eternally grateful for the generous support that Big Ideas has given Grace's Fund. Thanks to Big Ideas Digital, Grace can begin her journey to a better life."

So let that be a lesson to all of us gamers as we argue about Uncharted reviews and draw lines in the sand between Call of Duty and Battlefield – sometimes games can do something really extraordinary for a person in need.

Do you know anyone that’s been positively affected by a game? I remember an old guild mate that was disabled from the Iraq War – World of Warcraft allowed him to connect to people and have a social life.

Battlefield 3 Online Pass Teases New Medal of Honor

Posted Oct 24, 2011 at 5:42PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: battlefield 3, call of duty, DICE, EA, Medal of Honor

One of the biggest shooter franchises in the world gives a subtle shout-out to another blockbuster franchise.

It’s been about a year since the release of 2010’s Medal of Honor, and fans of the franchise have been patiently waiting for some sort of official update on the newest iteration of the franchise. It’s no secret that a new game is in development, but up until now, details have been relatively limited, with no clear move from developers to announce or showcase anything that may be in the works.

If you happen to pick up a copy of Battlefield 3 tomorrow, you may be able to get a sneak peak at the newest entry in the Medal of Honor series, tentatively titled Medal of Honor 2. The online pass printout included with Battlefield 3 has the Medal of Honor logo emblazoned on the back, complete with the official website. EA can’t release a Battlefield game every year, so they’ll need something up their sleeves when the next Call of Duty game comes out this time next year.

I’m guessing Medal of Honor is the best they can do, but based on what happened the last time around, it’s nowhere near as big of a deal as a new Battlefield. This link to the site is one of the more interesting puzzles of the day, as the Medal of Honor website doesn’t actually have any information regarding Medal of Honor 2 and still seems to be set up the way it was a year ago, so perhaps EA is waiting until the official launch of BF3 to update the site.

We’ll keep you posted as details roll in or if there’s any major update to the website – it doesn’t make much sense to send players to a year-old website with no new information to offer them. I’m curious to see what development team is working on the game; I figured DICE was all locked up with BF3 content.

Can a new Medal of Honor turn the inevitable CoD follow-up into cannon fodder, or will it be too little too late?

Golden Joystick Awards Are In

Posted Oct 21, 2011 at 12:53PM EST by Listed in: PSP, PC Gaming Tags: gamesmaster, Golden Joystick Awards

Find out what games real gamers selected as the best of the year, from a contest that earned over two million votes.

GamesMaster’s Golden Joystick Awards are different from other award given out in the games industry, because the people who select the winners are the people that play the games. The Golden Joysticks compile their list of winners based exclusively on votes from players, which means there are not usually any big surprises when the winners list comes out.

One could note that since the votes really only represent the popular gaming mind, excellent but less-known games don’t have much of a chance of winning. Either way, the awards do help us get a pretty good idea of what gamers liked in the last few months, and what they’re still playing. You’ll notice a big wins for Mojang (Minecraft), Ubisoft (Assassin’s Creed) and Rovio (Angry Birds), but the year clearly belongs to Activision/Blizzard (StarCraft, World of Warcraft, Black Ops and Guitar Hero). It probably doesn’t hurt that most of the titles on the list seem to be available for more than one system.

Here’s the list, compiled by GamePro:

Action/Adventure Game of the Year: Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Mobile Game of the Year: Angry Birds Rio

Roleplaying Game of the Year: Fallout: New Vegas

Massively Multiplayer Online Game of the Year: World of Warcraft

Fighting Game of the Year: Mortal Kombat

Racing Game of the Year: Gran Turismo 5

Sports Game of the Year: FIFA 11

Strategy Game of the Year: StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

Music Game of the Year: Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock

Free to Play Game of the Year: League of Legends

Downloadable Game of the Year: Minecraft

Shooter Game of the Year: Call of Duty: Black Ops

One to Watch Award: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Innovation of the Year: Nintendo 3DS

Outstanding Contribution: Sonic the Hedgehog

Ultimate Game of the Year: Portal 2

I’m pretty surprised to see the 3DS on the list, since it gets a lot of flak from players and the press, but I guess there weren’t’ many other innovations to speak of.

Remember that winners are taken exclusively from games that game out within the last 12 months, so don’t throw a hissy fit if your favorite game isn’t there unless you’re sure it’s eligible.

That being said, do you see anything in this list worth throwing a hissy fit over?

Black Ops Trash-Talking Kid Gets a Nasty Surprise in Real Life

Posted Sep 30, 2011 at 12:19PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: black ops, call of duty, game rage, weird news, xbox live

A fully-grown, presumably adult man tracks down a kid that insulted him over the Internet and tries to choke him to death. Is this the state of gaming today?

Everyone that plays online games, at some point, has wanted to punch, choke, shove or generally harm another player for something that happened in the game. Whether it’s the jerk in “Modern Warfare 2” running around at super-speed with an eighteen-foot stabbing range or the guy in your “World of Warcraft” party that rolls need on everything and hearths out (ah, the old days), it’s only common to experience some sort of frustration with the idiots that often play games.

Mark Bradford, a 46-year-old man, apparently felt the same way while playing “Call of Duty: Black Ops,” and decided to do something about it. After being repeatedly killed, camped, and mocked by a 13-year-old COD player (aren’t they all), Bradford somehow managed to track the kid down and confront him in person. Bradford’s strategy for teaching the kid a lesson? Strangulation, of course!

The whole thing was broken up by the kid’s mom and Bradford has apparently admitted to one count of assault, though this whole thing happened in the U.K. so I’m not really sure if that’s a big deal or not. What I do know is that it’s absolutely ridiculous to try and hurt another person because you’re frustrated by a game. While Joystiq appears to be gleefully celebrating a story of an internet jerk getting his comeuppance, they’re seriously overlooking the dangers such a precedent sets.

We’ve seen people get stabbed because of “Counter Strike” arguments. Now we’ve seen someone who should be mature enough to turn off the game and take a walk opt instead to assault a child. I understand that games make you mad sometimes, but there is absolutely no excusable reason to try and strangle a human being that’s 33 years your junior.

Mark Bradford, and the gaming community that seems to support his actions, need to grow up.

A fully-grown, presumably adult man tracks down a kid that insulted him over the Internet and tries to choke him to death. Is this the state of gaming today?

New Zealand rates Modern Warfare 3 R16

Posted Sep 27, 2011 at 3:09AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360, PC Gaming Tags: Activision, modern warfare 3, OFLC

In New Zealand, 16 year-olds must be jumping with joy upon hearing the news that they can make their way to the nearest retailer when Modern Warfare 3 hits the market and pick up a copy of the game for themselves.

The OFLC has given Activision's much-awaited sequel an R16 rating for the region, which is the highest second rating in the country. It comes as no surprise really, however, as all previous Call of Duty games have consistently been given the same rating throughout the years.

The OFLC justifies the R16 rating with the observation that it contains, obviously, violence. That, as well, is expected, of course, considering the context in which the game takes place.

Anyway, EB Games Australia, is teasing us with some massive Modern Warfare 3 news to come tomorrow, so that's one other thing to look forward to before the game officially comes out.

Modern Warfare 3 is set for a worldwide release on November 8th, 2011, across the platforms of PC, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii and DS.
