Madden 13, Black Ops 2 and the Amazing Hype Machine
Did you hear about Madden 13?!
Every pixel and every mode have been touched! Sounds like some sort of (bad) Michael Jackson joke.
Did you hear about Black Ops 2?!
It is based in the future and it will be released just in time for you to add it to your Christmas/Chanukah/Kwanzaa List!
The hype machine is a dangerous drug that will drag you into the depths of gaming hell.
While we try to be fair and keep our jaded perspective out of everything we write there is always room for sarcasm when it comes to Madden, NCAA Football, Call of Duty and any other annual release in gaming. In all honesty, why shouldn’t there be? When you consider the numerous glitches that occur or even the issues that require the same attention every year that never get fixed. (IE – Broken OLine and DLine interaction or being able to clip out of maps or even mod controllers because you aren’t disciplined enough to play the game legitimately.) It is no wonder that when you get to mid-September you will see message boards light up with such vitriol and anger that you wonder if someone kicked their dog.
No, they are like the many others that get mad about spending $60+ on a game that is in its late Beta stages. When it comes to gaming you need to make sure you have your feet and your gaming thumbs planted firmly on the ground or controller. Don’t expect the big changes to make everything better and don’t expect to be pleased with the first, second or third patches – this is a new era in gaming that takes the games to new lows when they are released.
Madden 13 has my full attention this year as far as making true moves in the right direction.
Black Ops 2 is at the bottom of my list right now because Treyarch has been utterly disappointing over the years and Activision’s ‘new’ business model of bending the consumer over for $15-50 DLC at every turn is starting to become the accepted norm.
Take this as a warning that you should curb your enthusiasm when you start hearing the new things about any annual release making changes or fixes to their flagship titles. Calm down, breath and enjoy the games you have before they become ‘old’ in August and November.
It’s Getting Hot In Here – Using Call of Duty MW3 ‘Heat Maps’
It doesn’t matter if you are new to MW3 or a veteran of many Team Death Matches. There is something right under your digital nose that might be your ticket to a higher KdR (Kill:Death Ratio) and maybe even more victories.
This fantastic tool is located under the ‘Career’ Section in the section for ‘Recent Matches’.
We are working on a feature that focuses on using maps more effectively and it will prove to be extremely useful for you.
An example of the Heat Map?
You should notice as you compare your own heat maps and performance that there are many different factors that can determine your outcome on a regular basis… your weapon choice and class settings. Until next time, take a few minutes to sign in to your MW3 Account on CallofDuty.com and let us know your favorite maps, spots to find enemies and even your preferred classes for each map.

Modern Warfare 3 – April Fools Day Quick Tips
While playing most first person shooter games online there is usually one strategy that can almost guarantee better results in Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch – working the perimeter.
As you will see in the corresponding video, there are a few different matches that will exhibit the best aspects of working the perimeter in Modern Warfare 3.
The first thing you must do is make the conscious decision to actually work the perimeter. Cast away all desire to run out into the middle of the battleground and take out everyone. You are now ready to move on with step two.
Silenced weapons are the second necessity you must focus on. The idea of this is simple – you don’t want to give away your position on the map for enemies. Also, make sure it is your weapon of choice because it is vital for you to find comfort in your weapons as well as the strategy. My weapon of choice is the silenced MP7 with kick reduction for more effective middle and long-range attacks as well as its fast rate of fire.
The third step is using cover effectively. You must plan out your movements in order to stay alive for the longest possible time while still being an effective player. This means determining whether the cover you use can be shot through (certain metals, woods, etc.) or penetrated from above (predator missile or other kill streaks that come from the air). While having cover is a necessity, you must also stay mobile in case you must backtrack if outnumbered or outmaneuvered.
By the time you figure out how to best navigate the perimeter of each map you will become a much more effective player in this regard. While there are always going to be exceptions to this strategy it remains highly effective.
F.E.A.R. 2 – Project Origin… Old But Awesome
For a game that is over 2 years old, FEAR 2: Project Origin is a breath of fresh air.
If you want something new to play that isn’t called Call of Duty or Battlefield, this is the game for you.
While this game is a great deal at Amazon, it must also be stated that it is a very scary game. It might be nothing for those of you that regularly watch movies that are scary as hell — but for the regular people out there… this game will knock you out of your seat more than once.
Variety Is The Spice of Gaming
It has been awhile since our last update and in that spirit we are going to start switching gears a bit more regularly. In the coming weeks you can expect to see footage from Skyrim, Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3, Borderlands, Gears of War 3, L.A. Noire and other great titles.
The best part of gaming is in the games that we sometimes forget that we have and when you pop them back into your console it is like a nostalgia takes over you. While Skyrim is still ‘new’ there are many games that people are forgetting about that can be had for $15 or less.
So, in the spirit of enjoying what you have and maybe learning how to play the games that you might have given up on we will be bringing you all sorts of new footage and information on some of the best games from the past couple years.
