Modern Warfare 2 Features - Level 70, Perks
By Steve Burke
Infinity Ward's Creative Strategist (and once community manager) FourZeroTwo (FZT) asked the community to pose questions via the popular blogging site, Twitter. You've probably seen FZT in Modern Warfare 2's trailers - he's the guy that always gets killed at the end. The MW2 community asked hundreds of questions, and FZT answered in force. Here's a compiled list of features that he has stated will (or will not) be in Modern Warfare 2.
Technology is getting more efficient and less expensive, and gamers are following that example. When you spend $50 - $60 a game (curse you, Activision!), there's little loose change clinking around for your dream machine. No one should deprive a gamer of his rig, and that's why we've built a gaming rig for $395. We built something that'll last a solid two years in this industry, with room to expand (RAM, Video) it up to possibly three or four. Here's the breakdown...
A forum member recently requested via PM that we customize a PC Build for him. The guy is a self-proclaimed "Cheap Bastard" with naught a penny to spare. He asked us to keep it under $400. We did.
Does the Loom of Fate deem Wanted: Weapon's of Fate a worthy title? Erm...not really.
Blizzcon, 2009: Blizzard released info of the actual skill trees to be used in D3. diii.net has put together some visually pleasing representations of those skills (but these are not actual in-game screenshots!). Take a look!
Need for Speed Shift Demo on PC
By Steve Burke
The Need for Speed franchise has been around for a long time now, and EA decided a couple of titles back that it was Need for Change time. The company switched to "official" racing instead of the cooler, more dangerous street racing. In their attempt to redeem themselves and prove that NFS is just as cool in circles as it is underground, EA has released the NFS Shift demo slightly earlier than expected for PC.
Direct2Drive has a big 5th anniversary sale going right now over a 5 week period, with 10+ games available each week each for $5. This week is action games, but coming up are RPG/MMO, Indie, and War games. They're not announcing which games will be available in the coming weeks, but there are some good games there right now (such as Bioshock) so check it out, a lot of these games are definitely worth the $5. There are also some additional $5 games available at the bottom of the page. One question: When D2D turns 10, will the games be $10?

Garry's famous mod is now available on Steam for only $5! It's 50% off for the whole week. Get it while you can, it's a great gateway into the modding community, and it sure makes for some funny movies! Many game developers, like Epic Games and Insomniac Studios, have recommended using tools such as Garry's Mod to develop a portfolio worthy of hire. If that's not reason enough, then this is.
They're cute, they're cuddly, and they're here to tear things down!
The fact that the designers wanted to show us trees growing more than the actual gameplay doesn't bode well at all for Far Cry 2.
