So we know you are getting it. What are you getting it for? PC/360/PS3?
Personally im getting it for xbox 360, pre ordered the MW2 themed 250gb xbox with game, 2 controllers, and a headset for $399! Great deal.
I have yet to make a new XBL gamertag as i sold all my old stuff and will be creating a new one. Name should be Schya or something along those lines. Everyone else's GT's / PSN names?

I was leaning towards Xbox 360 but I can't ever start playing FPS games on a console. I was raised on a PC so I gotta play my FPS with mouse and keyboard. Another reason is in December a group of friends are going to get together for a LAN and this will be our game of choice.

I've tried playing a shooter on a console once... second most frustrating thing I've ever done.
That and I don't know if I'm even interested in that. Shooters I've enjoyed playing always were innovative in some way: wolfenstein3d ldo, duke nuke 'em, - did not care for doom cuz it was just a fancy way too long version of wolfenstein imo, quake, quake arena - that was a whole new level of gameplay. battlefield 1942, the halflife series, portal, left4dead - absolutely love it.
I've tried far cry, crysis, warhead, far cry II... but they I get bored with them after 20 minutes.
what you can play on a console are 3rd person shooters, and there have been brilliant ones... the only reason I can imagine that you would even consider getting a first person shooter for a console is that you've never played one on a pc.

It means that instead of having a central server to host the game, the game is hosted across all players machines. This means that if one player is a lagfag then the entire game will suffer. With a dedicated server the laggy person might appear to do weird things like run in slow motion and then suddenly leap forward when his connection catches up, but all other non-laggy players will havea smooth ride.
I think not supporting mods is almost equally as bad. Without mods all you have is the content shipped with the game and anything the dev feels kind enough to release afterwards. This would appear to mean that not only are full on complete makeover mods not possible, but not even new maps. If you look at half-life, it was obviously worth the purchase price alone, but look how much value you get when you factor in a number of AAA community made mods, from full conversions to simple reskins of guns.
Beyond the initial lack of re-playability for this single game, not supporting mods has a ripple effect into the future of the industry. If quakeII, which spawned the mod team fortress, did not support mods then we wouldn't have seen team fortress 2, a fully funded studio made game. This is even more important nowadays when a AAA games development can cost millions and millions of dollars. Mod makers are doing it because they are passionate about their kick ass concept. However pro developers have to secure funding, which means they have to impress big wigs are publishing companies. These investors like sequels and proven concepts that have made butt loads of money. What they do not like is innovation, which is inherently risky. So my point is, if games stop supporting mods, we'll see a drastic slump in innovation in the industry. All we'll see is movie spin-offs and sequels in the double digits..

wow, Doom was the game to me and I was a Wolfenstein fan originally too. I just don't think they're similar at all. Doom was a huge step forward in graphics, the game developed better as you played through it (levels didn't all feel the same), and it brought the most amazing multiplayer experience (for its time).
Craziness! I'm going to d/l right now. I haven't played it in so long. Of course if history of playing other old games means anything, I'm probably going to sign back on here to take back my whole post and not believe how such a shitty game used to have me so enthralled.

I agree for the most part, except for the Far Cry comment. It was probably the best time I've had playing a shooter after Half Life.

I thought far cry was cool, but Ive realized that I just dont like jungle combat. Same with paintball, I prefer the mocked up city or the non descript obstacles to playing in the woods. Even so far cry def had some awesome moments.
Also Id love to get LFD2, but I dont think it would run well on my computer.

PC. Shooters on consoles? nah-ah.
Australia is so gay we get a censored version of L4D2. Apparently zombies are 'too life like' and I'm not adult enough to make my own decisions.

I did not know that you could play doom online... But my parents didn't have internet until the late 90's, so I couldn't have anyway.

You can make your own decision to change your local settings in steam and it will dl the uncensored version when you update, or so I'm told 
And it shouldn't be very resource intensive. You can turn the graphics down to HL2 levels.

Pretty much the only FPS I've ever played is COD$ and only ever on consoles.
I can't really imagine what it'd be like on a PC, I mean, if you get sprayed on a console it's pretty hard to walk away from but with the accuracy of a mouse is it not just instant death for everyone as soon as they get spotted? Does that not take away some of the action a bit?
Also will have this on PS3. PSN name: pok3rplaya

There wasn't really an internet like it is today around that time anyway. But some guy in my town set up a BBS that basically acted as a dedicated DOOM server.

mouse+keyboard simply allows for better control, it doesnt make the game easy. What your saying is akin to asking "if we stopped pouring oil all over the race track, wouldnt all the race cars go too fast?"

Although I agree PC's are good for FPS, how can anyone not mention James Bond Golden Eye on N64 when talking about great FPS on consoles, that game was legendary. I learnt all my FPS skills on it and those same skills still apply today.
In fact, I'd say, Golden Eye was the BEST SHOOTER EVER!!!!!!! (relatively of course, as obviously games improve over time)

goldeneye was indeed awesome, but it was awesome as a novelty. It was cool cuz dorks like me could play multiplayer video games with their non dorky friends and have fun. But none the less it was a novelty, the controls were horrible and the level design was pretty rudimentary. And your claim that its the best fps of all time (when taking improved quality of games over time into consideration ofc) youre just downright wrong. Half-life was released only a year later.

Irisheyes-They do make adjustments for aiming from the console to the PC. PC usually have a smaller hit box then what you would see on a console since the mouse+keyboard is more accurate.

Agreed!
I hope the innocents will do things like freeze when you aim a gun at them, maybe shake a bit in fear, and hopefully react to exactly where you shoot them, so then, for example, you can get up close, aim a gun at them, they raise their hands in fear, and then you shoot them in the hand, and they react by holding an arm which now is missing a hand.
Ya know, that sort of stuff.
Besides which, on a more serious note, it's always seen as OK to play as some yank or Brit and chase after some middle eastern guys or russians and slaughter them by the boat load, maybe its only fair that some middle eastern kid can now play a game where they run into our country and kill somke of our folk!

I dont think video games should be sensored or anything, but the gameplay footage I saw looked pretty lame. Not cuz youre killing civilians but because it just looked boring.

Agree with that. But it was only about 1 minute of civi killing, and the vid quality was awful. plus it looked like it was on easy, as there wan't much resistance.

Not really. I've only played some, but I generally do not care for open ended campaigns and third person or pseudo-shooters. You're right that it does look very boring.

When it comes to censoring, my instinct is that this type of stuff is bad and should be eliminated, but from a rational and empirical perspective, I think that these kinds of things are only bad if they are able to play a role of brainwashing, which I don't think video games can account for. That is, however, debatable to a degree.
On top of that, these kinds of video games may actually perform as an outlet for sociopaths. It's very hard to find data on these things, but I think there is a very good argument for suggesting that being able to enact sociopathic desires into virtual reality could provide as a healthy outlet. On the flip side, however, there is data to suggest reinforcement.

censorship is just such a slipper slope, yanoe?
And I generally dont like open ended gameplay either, but I think rockstar games does a really excellent job of polishing the hell out of it. So many open ended games just feel like virtual sandboxes, which for some reason seems to be a compliment in the industry. I can understand the draw of this, but at the same time I think it just makes for an empty lifeless world. Only games Ive played that have really pulled it off imo are in the GTA series. I hear good things about the elder scrolls series and the new fallout (old ones too for that matter.)

Fallout 3 was pretty awesome imo, although it was a bit too empty for my liking, but still a good game.
I think I preferred Saints Row 2 to the latest GTA, its just more fun to play.

I'm not the biggest fan of Bethesda. I did play Morrowind a lot, which I did enjoy, but I've always had a problem with first person RPG. The problem is that this combines both RPG and FPS, and while I think it's possible to make something like that awesome, I do not think that anybody has done it so far. I just simply cannot play games like Fallout and Bioshock because the FPS is not good as Halo or CoD, and the RPG is not as good as some of my favorite old-school turn based stuff.
The best video game developers hands down is Blizzard. They lead the world in RTS, MMORPG, and hack n slash. I really wanna see them make an FPS series. Maybe Fnord can tell me why they haven't done that yet. They're easily the best at making games, I have no clue why they haven't tried to master the gigantic FPS market.

what really turns me off of first person rpgs is that I dont get to see my avatar. I know this sounds dumb/nerdy but I really like the idea of seing my avatar with cool new gear and whatnot. On top of that I really like the widened viewing angle afforded by a 3rd person view. Hell, if when gta made the leap to 3d they went with a first person veiwpoint, I would have played the games, but I know I wouldnt have enjoyed them nearly as much.

Aren't Blizzard now linked with Activision, who I think do, amongst other things, James Bond (pretty crap FPS) & DOOM and did the True Crime series, of which I think LA was pretty dam good and loads of fun to play.
