Bad Company 2 Update
Apr 27th
Ok so DICE have released an update to Bad Company 2, which was automatically installed by steam a couple of nights ago. Incredibly it seems to fix nearly every gripe I had with the game. The server browser is massively improved, including working favorites, you now also get better search options for servers too. Alot of balancing has been done with the guns. Not that I had much of a problem with them in the first place.
Possible my favorite addition though is the color blindness option. Being very colour blind I was impressed to see a games company actually adapt their games for us!
I’m still struggling to enjoy BC2 as I have with the Call Of Duty series. I believe this is primarily down to the weapons not inflicting as much damage as they do in COD. Which for me is annoying, last night I thought I’d give sniping a try and was amazed at just how hard it is to pick out a player and shoot. Even when you do, get a lock on, your bullet either just goes no where or you hit someone but they just run off. Ok I currently have the lowest spec sniper rifle, but I can’t see why I’d want to play as a sniper if I can only get maybe 1 or two kills a game.
This may still be down to my not being used to the Battlefield series, so I guess I keep going!

Modern Warfare 2 Smashes Sales Records
Nov 12th
The eagerly awaited sequal to Call of duty 4 has taken the crown of fastest selling game of all time. It’s estimated around 1.23 million copies have been sold in the first 24 hours.
This eclipses the previous record set by GTA 4 last year by I’ve double. I personally believe this to be a sign that gaming is becoming a much more accepted past time.
Industry analysts estimate the game will send 10 millions copies before Christmas and take around £400million. All pretty impressive numbers!
I’ll hopefully get a review of the game up soon once I’ve finished playing through the single player mission and had a dabble with the multiplayer!
