So, in the never-ending saga how Medal Of Honor: Airborne sucks, I tried the multi-player. What a fucking mess. So, there's a specific spawn point where you spawn. So, when the other team finds it, they just sit there and pick you of like fish in a barrel. Maybe it isn't that way all the time, but it was in this game I played in. Holy hell what a steaming pile of horse shit.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen, usually by luck in most games. But this game keeps spawning you in the exact same fucking spot.

No, i get what you're saying. I was commenting on the lame ass practice in general.

Spawn killing is as lame as people who quit out of an online match (in any game) to save their stats. I'm just starting to run into that (in Puzzle Fighter of all things) and I just can't help but wonder, is it that serious?

Man, the Spider-Man: Friend or Foe demo sucked. Makes Spider-Man 3 look like Bioshock in comparison.

That seems to be the general consensus I'm seeing. I didn't think it was that bad though. It's just a very simplistic oldschool brawler. The simplicity kind of reminds me of the Lego Star Wars games. I wouldn't drop $60 on it, but I might pick it up when it hits the bargain bin.

I totally agree. The camera angles suck, the fighting moves suck, everything just sucks.

The controls are overly simplistic, and you can't even web swing. If you want a good game in this style, go get a used SNES and a copy of Maximum Carnage. That game rocked. Here's hoping it comes to the Virtual Console on the Wii.

The single player is great though...

Saw the Halo Edition 360, and a bunch of the accessories (headset, controller) at my local Target today, if that info helps anybody (don't actually know when it's supposed to be released).

Apparently Halo 3 has been leaked. Some guy on GameFAQs posted this pic:



He then proceeded to spoil the entire story. If you want to avoid spoilers, it may be wise to avoid the internet now...

FYI, the ending to Halo 3 is being posted rampantly all over forums, Bungie.net, Gametrailers, and videos at Youtube.

Folks may want to steer clear of the internet for the next week.

That's pretty much how I handled the week before Deathly Hallows.

The problem for me is that it is likely to take me a month or more to finish, especially since I'll be playing on the hardest difficulty level.

Oh well, the story isn't that big of a deal to me anyways.

People play Halo for the story?

Worse than that though are the reports that Halo 3's single player game is only around 8 hours.

Does it matter? Even on the easiest difficulty (though I think it's on normal) that's far too short.
