More Modern Warfare 2 videos for you members looking to check out this game before 11/10. These videos are from Justin.tv and G4tv.com and the first is the leaked campaign from that lucky french guy koula60, who has his copy already and has streamed himself playing the game. The second video below shows you what to expect from 3rd person gameplay on the MP map – Invasion (which looks a lot like the map shown in flag runner). The third video shows another MP map – Derail, which is a snow map and has both indoor and outdoor areas to explore. Finally, the fourth video shows Spec Ops AC-130 action from G4tv!

Sup members, Modern Warfare 2 is looking to have a new 3rd person mode for campaign and multiplayer gameplay according to several leaks and this youtube video (below) which shows the 3rd person mode in action. YourEMGN.com had a picture of the menu of the new game but the one below is from a french copy of the game some lucky guy got early. The translation is below it and it shows that there IS 3rd person modes for multiplayer which is good news for those that like that view mode and something new for the COD series fans to try.

UPDATE***Third person view is now available in private matches and two gamemodes/playlists called ‘3rd Person Team Deathmatch’ and ‘3rd Person Cage Match’.

fourzerotwo on 3rd Person View – “It’s not something you can toggle on and off in ANY game,” said Bowling. The special mode can only be played in private matches — toggled on or off just like “Hardcore” settings — or in playlists that are designated for third-person play. According to Bowling, everyone playing in a third-person playlist will be restricted to the viewpoint. “This is just another cool way to play the game,” he said, “you obviously will still have the option to play gametypes normal as well.”

Just checked out my friend’s copy of Borderlands and I gotta say…it’s a suprisingly fun game. I promised myself that I wouldn’t get any other game before tekken and MW2 but now that has changed after playing Borderlands. The game plays out like a FPS with attitude and has a lot of cool features that will keep you playing for a long time. For one, the campaign is an open-world, 4 player FPS co-op adventure with RPG style stats. Second, the presentation is unique and the characters give you something different for a change. You and your friends can choose from 4 characters that are set into different classes: Soldier, Siren, Berzerker, and Hunter, each giving you a unique ability. You can find thousands of weapons to kill the mutants and monters and that alone keeps the game interesting as you search for your perfect gun. The multiplayer is sick and is really fun with the added powers and customizable weapons and characters. This is definitely one game to check out with your friends or at least rent. Check out IGN’s video review as they do a great job in further breaking down this cool new game.

Super Street Fighter IV has been a topic of discussion amongst some of our members and I just wanted to share some videos and one of the trailers that feature the new characters. T.Hawk and Dee Jay finally make it to SFIV, along with a new character named Juri. Those that have played T.Hawk and Dee Jay from the original SSFII and SFII REMIX, will be looking forward to see what super combos these characters can unleash. The trailer and video below give you a taste of what to expect from these guys including what looks to be Dee Jay’s air juggle combo!
