Yes it had its shortcomings but it was a great game.
as i said, if you played earlier generation games at a high/competitive level, you'd have a problem honestly calling it a "great game". and my comments actually, were that the movement/shooting were not "really that great", but that other things, like the new scale/size, and vehicle-play, brought it up and restored its playability. so really i have no idea what you are arguing with. the shooting/movement were poor in comparison to earlier fps. it had other redeeming features. what would i prefer over cod1 or bf2? tfc or bf2? cs1.3-1.6 or bf2? bf2 would lose every time.

Patch 1.3 for BF2 made it indeed unplayable for the majority of players, as it caused constant CTDs every few minutes.
And BF2's netcode/hitdetection was aweful at times, making it a competition in belly flopping and bunny hopping, while aiming for the invisible, lagging hitbox.
In that aspect, BF3 is a much better experience.
Of course, with client side hit detection, the competitive portion is completely gone out of the window in BF3.
What really irks me the most is the apparent degradation of the community playing the game.
I don't know if it's the lack of a commander feature and proper squad play, or if it's consolitis making players stupid.
I fear that it's the latter though, and we've not seen the worst yet.

So about those other games.
I think I should find one of these:

i just realized today, whilst checking some gaming press/lists, that 2013 is the first year pretty much since i started gaming that there hasn't been some giant 'wonder-hype' MMO game coming out. looking through the lists of massive 'omg WoW killer' MMO's currently in development... there are... literally none that look as if they're gonna take off. even guild wars 2 kept up the vain pretense for a while. jeez it sucks how dead one of the PC's best genres is.
dunno how big its gonna be but I'm gonna get ElderScrollsOnline when it comes out...which will be my first MMO :p
it is going to suck massive dong.
i really feel sorry for people who come into their first MMO experience on some cash-in travesty like the 'elder scrolls mmo' or the 'game of thrones game'.

Hmm, Elder Scrolls Online...
That'll mean we'll see a Fallout Online in a few years too.

skyrim had absolutely no signs of making a good MMO. i'm not sure you understand what an MMO needs to be successful. skyrim would translate into one of those shitty 'story-based' MMO's where 'every player is special'. what about endgame? an actual incentive to play? really not sure about that.
also expecting a fallout MMO makes about as much sense as expecting a starcraft MMO

I'm not saying skyrim was an MMO is gonna be I said it's like an skyrim MMO (= extract all the things that doesnt make skyrim an MMO) I'm just intrested of ESO because it won't be a buttonfest all over your screen like a herpesface filled with acneUzique The Lesser wrote:

A fallout MMO would be more interesting. At least it would be a unique setting. Skyrim would just be another MMO set in a fantasy world.

GW2's big thing over GW1 was that you could jump. "OMG the levels go up and down now too!" Other than the painfully '2d' terrain of Guild Wars 1 which could have been averted in the outset if the developers actually thought to do so, there wasn't really a very good reason for them to release a sequel.Uzique The Lesser wrote:

Meanwhile, WoW keeps chugging away, spitting out the occasional expansion pack, building on old content and keeping milions playing. No WoW2 in sight as far as I'm aware. If any game would be worthy of my few bucks a month every now and then, it would be that one.
Digging through my old gallery, I found the bit where I was trying to make the most homosexual looking mesmer in all of Guild Wars. My many successes were dimmed by the fact that in the end, everyone's character pretty much looks the same.
I think I went with #5 for the wizened hair and smoldering "come hither" eyes.
It could still be good. If you can somehow avoid every other player online, you can pretend that it was you who actually killed the emperor and not a million different people in parallel realities with remarkably identical dialog choices._j5689_ wrote:

But the big difference in Fallout is the possibility for many different approaches to solving problems.
I'd like to see Obsidian making an online game, with many of the franchises original developers.
Bethesda didn't really convince me with Fallout 3, turning it more into an action adventure game.
looking through old xfire profile screenshots (which RIP xfire, it's heartbreaking to see the program/website try to remain valid and afloat, with design standards from 2006).
