His opinions when contrasting the two are quite interesting.

why does he try to act like he likes old school shooters at the end when he talks about rocket jumping etc?
He is a baddie, I can just tell. Unless he said he plays quake live tier 5, etc his opinion is invalid.
Health regen, actually speeds up the game, it doesn't slow it down. So I am not sure why people complaining about that.

Also everyone is being unfairly harsh on MOHW, you can replace all the reviews with the name MOHW with MW3, and it's exactly the same.

NOPE, instead of waiting in the coner like a coward to get your health back, you can just quickly find one and pick it up, faster than regen health.

Shut your mouth jiggly.

Also I enjoyed the vid. I love how Yahtzee gets under people's skin, the trick is to never take him seriously.

Yahtzee seems to have more of a leaning towards cult classics when it comes to shooters.

Actually it slows the game down. Halo pisses me off because ill be shooting some dumbass noob from a long distance and he goes around a corner then i chase him to finish him off and by the time i get there's he's got full health again and alot of times ill take damage from another player then the noob i originally shot finishes me off with some luck kill. he's one unbalanced piece of sh1t

lrn 2 get good



I am talking about BF3 regen health system.

If you are stuck at 1 hp, you are going to be hiding in a corner forever, there is no health.

That's also why the end of games in quake live clan arena when you are both at 5 hp, the rounds take forever, nobody wants to fight, etc.
It does make them more tense though when everyone is specing you and it's 9-9.

Gets to see who's clutch, etc.

right because people who dedicate their life to understanding when and where items spawn on maps, and map layouts, have a more valid opinion against single player campaigns which don't exactly have a need to memorize where things only spawn once or a map that's meant to be explored. Shooters are fun and you don't need to be a tier 5 player to see the difference between a game that doesn't hold your hand and a game that will have a quest marker pointing out where you need to go down a singular path, and if you fail to kill things on time will kill them for you, yuou know games where you don't have to actually play to beat the game.

regen health is for the casuals! i keep saying it but nope people still believe regen health helps the game another thing i hate about current gen fps is the shotguns! thier unfair advantage in any 007 or cod game omg , guy can shoot me from 10 yards away and kill me w one shot while im shooting a m16 or ak , it takes about 5 bullets to kill the guy

The sad part is I can't see a BO2 ad without thinking about it. It's burned into my brain now.

Zp's hardly ever make me laugh nowadays, and this one does nothing to break the trend. Seems like he's losing his touch. The opposite is true however for most of his arguments, which are almost always well thought out and pertinent, if somewhat biased. Agree about most of what he said.

Meh it's his job to be an angry dude ripping into games. So sometimes his criticisms are interesting and valid, sometimes just comes across as whining about everything. People are just never happy, I remember when Doom 3 was hated and Halo styIe health regen/weapon limit/etc was hailed as an awesome breath of fresh air in the FPS genre. Now Doom 3 is teh awesome and health regen sucks. Meh, people will always complain...
