Can any one tell me if I buy black ops or mw3 for the PC. Can my power A controller for the ps3 work with these games? I was just curious if it was compatible ?

Why would you buy those games on a PC and then use a controller? That's getting the worst of both worlds. The number 1 reason to buy a FPS on a PC is because of how much better the control system is, why would you then change that? Basically you are playing on a smaller screen, in a less comfortable chair with more risk of hardware issues and then not taking advantage of the one reason that still makes it a better option?

I can't really afford a mouse for my laptop right now is the only reason. I would eventfully get a good gaming mouse. Plus I do seasonal work and would be nice to always be able to MW/BO on the road where ever I go cause I use 3g off my phone for connection. Also I can not always connect my ps3 to wifi. It would be just a stop gap until I got a gaming mouse.

Is it weird I just found my old copy of Warcraft 2 battle.net edition and have been playing the single player campaigns?...lol I haven't played this game since like 2001-2002.

does anyone know if battle.net still supports warcraft 2? I could never get into WoW - this was like back in 2006

I feel like a loser for posting this...lol.

vidae · 12-08-2011, 12:47 PM

Warcraft 2 is an amazing game. WoW is not. I'd play the **** out of WC1/2/3 if I had the time atm.

nepg · 12-08-2011, 12:50 PM

The only reason I played WoW for a bit was to continue the amazing story from the WC's (which it doesn't seem like they actually continued it until WotLK). WC3 and FT were ******* amazing.

Wish they'd just turned WotLK and Cataclysm into WC4 and expansion rather than making WoW.

I am pretty sure you can register any Blizzard game on your Battle.net account if you have the key.

Mice are like $10, sometimes less. I've gotten my PS3 controller to work on my PC, but it was a ***** to rig.

I could not get into WoW. I didn't like the fact that it was not really a strategy game but just a normal RPG type game. I played it for maybe a month way back in 2006.

Warcraft 2 is probably my favorite game of all time, I remember playing it way back in the day - like 96/97. It's been like a total flashback to 8th grade...lol. I also played WC3 but I was bummed about the unit limits in the game and the fact it was more hero based. It was still a great game though, I may have to scour and look for my copy of that and replay it as well.

Does anyone know if Blizzard is ever going to return to a RTS type Warcraft game rather than the current WoW RPG style game?

I think they basically have confirmed that they will not be... I think they are going to make Star Craft as their RTS games.

Oh bummer...just doing a google search it seems that their are rumors but nothing is substantiated. I blame stupid WoW

nepg · 12-08-2011, 03:18 PM

I'm slightly curious what Blizzard's Titan project is going to be.

Just can't wait for D3, though. Really the only game on my radar outside of ME3 right now.

49erNation85 · 12-08-2011, 03:19 PM

Does any one know if I buy the downloadable type of MW3 for PC.Will i be able to connect it threw my 3g service by tethering ? I'm running at 440 kps ad 196ms ....

nepg · 12-08-2011, 03:23 PM

It'll probably suck, but I don't see why you couldn't do it.

That would be terrible to play on. It would be sluggish and would probably drop multiple times.

I wish, but they've totally destroyed the whole story line of the WC universe. If you watch the trailer for the new WoW expansion you'll see they aren't even bothering with a story line anymore.

vidae · 12-08-2011, 04:23 PM

The story in World of Warcraft has been pretty awful from the beginning. There is no reason to do any quest. Most of them don't add up to the overall goal you're trying to accomplish. Why do I need to kill 10 wolves in order to defeat Arthas?

They're throwing stuff at a dart board now. That game is dead.

wogitalia · 12-08-2011, 09:05 PM

Lol I played to like level 45 or something on WoW and I didn't even know there was meant to be a story in that game, I wasn't expecting one though, it's just meant to be set in the Warcraft world.

Also... Warcraft 2 was awesome, I think it was probably the 3rd best RTS I've ever played behind Myth II and Starcraft. Warcraft 3 is 4th which really sums up how good Blizzard are.

To be honest the only other RTS that are even close to those 4 are Settlers which is really an entirely different type of game.

nepg · 12-08-2011, 10:08 PM

Vanilla WoW through Burning Crusade is basically just filling in people on what happened in WC 1-3. WotLK is a continuation of the WC story.

Just have to silence or wait for him to jump and he melts. You so have to know how to play him to be able to effectively counter him.

Myth II is one of my favorite games. I think I still have my cd somewhere.

I still resent Microsoft for buying Bungie and subsequently killing Bungie.net. Though I did have some fun with the fan run servers even after that.

I will stand by it as the single best RTS ever and by far the best multiplayer game I've played. It also had one of the two best mods ever made for a game(WW2, CS is the other).

Just an awesome game. Did you play online?

WinslowBodden · 12-09-2011, 01:59 AM

I log in and see people talking about League, didn't realize people played that on here.

I'm 1700 and wish that Kat was viable, it makes me sad since she's my best champ... :[

nepg · 12-09-2011, 02:57 AM

I've been having to jungle a lot lately because people aren't wanting to. Kind of funny because I just started jungling in the last week or so since Hyena Warwick came out.

My best champ is probably Taric. Haven't played him at all since the changes to him, though.

I play everyday. MercWithTheMouth. My best characters are definitely Pantheon and Vlad, but I also play alot of Kennen, Jarvan, TF, Riven, Kat and Warwick. Basically anyone good.

I hate the new jungle. Not enough money or EXP, I'm consistently underlevelled. I hate how easy it is. You can jungle Warwick without Smite now, that's how easy it is. Also, I might have to buy his Hyena skin. It's so sick.
