COD:WaW Melbourne 24 Hour Launch Party

[Viney]

It's all relative I guess.

In terms of my perspective attending a game launch party is sad. It's an example of how silly people get over a mere game. It's achieves nothing other than confirming that gaming is most important aspect your life, which in turn would make you a loser in 99.99% of peoples eyes.

Forums are a convenient way to socialise, generally at work. I can't talk to workmates about games, so I come here. It's hard comparable to attending a game launch.

I wasn't actually comparing posting on a forum to attending a game launch. I was merely trying to convey what you said in the opening line of this post.

It's all relative. You think they're losers for attending a games launch, many people would think you're a loser for playing video games and posting on an internet forum.

Anyway, I don't think it necessarily confirms that gaming is the most important thing in their life. That's like saying that if you attend the football weekly it's the most important thing in your life and if that's the case you're a loser.

I attend the football weekly (well, Melbourne games in Vic) and I post on internet forums and I play video games, but none of those 3 come close to being the most important thing in my life, not even close.

Give Kerrby a break, he went with a few mates to a social gathering that was centred around the launch of a video game, so what? It was 1 night (and a miserable night at that by the sounds) of his life. Does nothing towards proving gaming is his # priority.

Very well said

Thankyou Viney. Trafic what right do you have to call me a loser for going to a game show with a few friends? It was just for a bit of fun (Even though I didn't have much fun) and as you said "Camp out for a 24 hour game launch party", I didn't camp out for shit. I bought tickets a month before the event, I didn't camp. You probably have googly eyes or half a foot missing.

He does, I've seen it.

It's gross.

It's down to personal opinion, however, I actually think COD3 (made by Treyarch not Infinity Ward) was in fact the best of the lot. The netcode was one of the best I have played on console gaming.

I constantly had 12 v 12 from all over the world without a shred of lag.

The vehicles were amazing, the maps were huge, the game modes were excellent (in particular War).

There were a few teething problems with it (which I actually didn't suffer) where some people found it difficult to connect to to matches, which was patched and fixed early on, but unfortunately the fickle crowds had already moved on.

When I heard Treyarch were doing COD:WaW I was pumped and after playing the beta I was even more pumped.

Granted yes they've now used the COD4 engine, but they have still implemented their own features that were not in COD4 (i.e. vehicles and again, WAR mode).

I'm very much looking forward to COD:WaW personally

i'm assuming you're buying this for 360?

the only thing that will go against it is more people will be we worried about their kdr and camp out more. if anything will kill the game it'll be this.

i doubt that will be the case.....

there is and will always be campers and they will continue getting 10 kills a game but no fps title would take off if campers kill it because they are everywhere

Traffic's a weird customer. Seems to be into video games heavily, yet is put off by any video game that threatens his masculinity or jockiness (i.e. platforming games with cartoony characters). Let go of your inner nerd TL!

Yeah, all multiplatform releases (in particular FPS / TPS) are on the 360

My PS3 is pretty much for exclusives only and blu-ray

I love cartoony games, if done well. Ratchet and Clank on PS3 is wonderful, it's a shame there's a lack of such titles.

Basing your opinion of me on my dislike of one mere game is a tad short sighted.

I still stand by my remarks.

I find it disturbing that people actually do things like this, I guess it's akin to people that show up to midnight movie premiers.

Ridiculous and ultimately pointless fanaticism.

Freaky stuff.

Ok.

Hope you don't take offense next time some one calls you a loser then
