This is my new article program allowing me to round up all video game news too small for an entire article. I will be counting sundays as of next week.





CALL OF DUTY
MODERN WARFARE 3's complete list of perks:
Perk 1:

An interview seems to indicate that camping will be tuned down as well:
“When we looked at that with MW3, we decided that we wanted to get the cool part of verticality and the cool kind of engagements, but we didin’t want to make it so complicated that anywhere you ran you were under fire or that there was danger from every single point.

“We wanted to determine what is it about the flow that is interesting and fun. If it is too simple, then it is just not interesting. If it is too complex, then it is not as fun.

“Having a map with good flow makes you feel comfortable moving through the map. If the flow is not good, people won’t move as much because they are paranoid of getting shot.”
-Mark Rubin

It will NOT have zombies and will feature LAN support as well.

BATTLEFIELD
A japanese poster indicates BATTLEFIELD 3 will be two-disc.
BATTLEFIELD 3'S Beta will be open to MEDAL OF HONOUR players 48 hours before anyone else.

BATTLEFIELD 3'S story will be told by memories of the main character(Black Op's anyone?)

BORDERLANDS
Some BORDERLANDS 2 gameplay has been revealed, showcasing new environments, guns, and increased variety.

HALO
343 Industries' Creative Director, Ryan Payton, has quit.

DEUS EX
DEUS EX:HUMAN REVOLUTION DLC has been announced, called THE MISSING LINK, bridging the gap for when Adam Jensen is missing for 3 days.


GENERAL
In a move sure to upset video game movie fans, Uwe Boll has announced he is making a new video game motion picture, adapted from the PC game ZOMBIE MASSACRE, a well-known rip-off of DOOM(facepalm).

THQ thinks the next gaming revolution will be disc-less, live-streaming video games, and will decrease the amount of money necessary for discs and disc drives, resulting in more money for the publisher, resulting in better games.



That's all for this week. For now I am covering basic video game news but if you want me to covera specific game please say so in the comments.

Glad to see someone else is tired of Battlefield and Call of Duty. That's all anyone that plays shooters talks about. I wanna see something else, something original, you know?
