-Lil' Previews-
¤Heroes of the pacific(XB,Ps2,December 2004,Encore):Explosive aerial warfare goes online in this ambitious re-creation of WW2's biggest pacific theatre skirmishes. The game supports an astonishing 300 planes on screen at once, but the number of actual online human players will probably max out at around 12.
¤Operation Flashpoint(XB,Fall 2004,Codemasters):You want authenticity? The xbox exclusive Operation Flashpoint is so real and tactical, it's engine is actually used by developer Bohemia to create training simulations for the U.S. Military. Xbox Live play lets you man tanks and pilot choppers in full scale modern warfare.
Top 10 Selling games: Ninja Gaiden(XB),Pokemon Colosseum(GC),MVP Baseball 2004(Ps2),Splinter Cell:Pandora Tomorrow(XB),MVP Baseball 2004(XB),James Bond 007:EON(Ps2),Metal Gear Solid:TTS(GC),Final Fantasy XI Online(PS2),Resident Evil Outbreak(Ps2),MX Unleashed(ps2).
Xbox is getting a whole lot livelier:In the coming months you will be able to send game invites to friends who are signed on to MSN Messenger. Also, Microsoft's PC Chat Program will soon have a specially marked xbox tab so you can check the online status of your xbox live pals. (Pretty sweet picture of it, don't have a scanner though)
¤Halo 2
¤Gaze in the military: Master Chief character models, and enemy elite aliens, availble in some levels crane their heads in the direction their players are looking, It's a nifty effect with a strategic twist: You know when you're being watched.
¤Facts Of LIVE: We figure Halo-heads who lamenated the lack of online multiplayer in the first game have alot of pent-up agression, so they'll be hitting the sequel's 16 player online battle royales post haste when halo 2 hits Xbox this November. Lucky you: The game uses LIVE's new lag-reducing tricks, such as finding opponents closest to your hometown and who share the same broadband provider.
¤Move over, master chief: Since saving earth is a big job for just one gentically enchanced cyborg, chief at times will lead a band of orbital drop shock troopers, elite "helljumpers" who essentially parachute into battle from orbit
¤ Shadow Ops: And you thought the first game's enemies were brainy. Halo 2's covenant aliens will seek cover in shadows, making master chief's flashlight crucial this time. But don't get too close: Larger aliens like the elites and new brutes are more agressive and extra keen on alien-a-mano melee attacks.
My fingers hurt, lol.
