Questions for SandyRavage?

Crash and Overgrown look largely unchanged on the low-rez vid (links go to CoD4 overheads, courtesy of the Guerrilla Warfare Society site). You can see that the gun emplacements now contain miniguns instead of the mounted SAW light machineguns found on the CoD4 versions of the two maps. The last map, Storm, looks interesting. A lot of interior spaces, vertical areas, and alleys on Storm. Watching the vid again, it has a real Downpour-like feel to it. I can't wait to play them, despite a nagging feeling that we might get another bunch of glitches/cheats found by the legion of wall-humping Timmies.

Watched TheSandyRavage livestream for a while Thursday night. He played Bad Company 2 rush for about three hours and then some MW2 FFA. The BC2 play mode was Rush, and there were some really good plays. A lot of comedy, too. In one BC2 game, SandyRavage stuck a tracer on another player's helmet, and the guy retaliated by body-blocking SandyRavage's RPG, resulting in an Epic Fail™ suicide. In another game, he creamed a guy with the skidoo by jumping off at max speed, letting the skidoo run over the guy as he crouched sniping on a small island. He eventually switched over to MW2 FFA. Some highlights: He won a FFA match on Skidrow using only the Beretta M9; playing games with the akimbo Desert Eagles and .44 Magnums; he dispensed some Booster Justice along the way, too, by targeting known boosting sites with the Javelin. He did have a couple epic MW2 Javelin fails: On Rust, he accidentally ran into the blast radius of his own missile; on Rundown, he fired the Javelin thru the 1 foot slit on the wall on the small elevated porch to the right-front of the Villa building. Instant giblets. On to the links:

• Edge Online: GDC: Building A Blockbuster. Bungie and Bioware talk about DLC and maintaining support.
• Joystiq: GameStop: Used game buyers uninterested in free DLC. True. If I didn't care enough to buy the game right away, I'm not fretting about "free" DLC.
