So I spent all day Saturday at a Modern Warfare 2 LAN party. It was pretty disappointing considering Infinity Ward has disabled the ability to gain experience during LAN play. Absolutely nothing you do counts toward advancing your character. It's extremely annoying and it completely ruined the game for all of us. We attempted to go online, but getting all 9 people online from one location was not the easiest thing in the world. Suffice to say, MW2's LAN capability is complete crap and will probably make it a game that is never played at LAN parties.

Honestly, Modern Warfare 2 is about the only thing I've played the last week. I finally beat the single player, and that was some completely over-the-top shit. Did anyone else get completely confused as to what was going on plat wise those last 3-4 missions. I was having no problems following the story up to that point, and then the game just lost me. I personally think the ending to Modern Warfare 1 was much much better.

I'm just really looking forward to the Thanksgiving holiday this coming weekend. I'm gonna use the time to catch up on some other gaming, which includes DJ Hero, Brutal Legend, Batman: AA, and probably New Super Mario Bros Wii. Trust me when I say that Wednesday night can't get here soon enough.

Well that's enough about me. Let's get on with the weekend cblog recaps shall we.

Thanks for the topsauces to both Stryke and Dragon, and if you don't mind I have the new Fatal Destructoid blurb that I asked one of the recappers (I cannot remember who it is right now, I think Pendleton.)

As it appears below:


Fatal Destructoid is a series of community tournaments revolving around SNK fighters hosted by Wry Guy. Acting as a trainer, he teaches everyone how to be better at fighting games in general and introduces them to games they might not normally play. He then organizes the entrants into a tournament upon completing their training. Join the Fatal Destructoid Chat Channel if you'd like to join! The current tournament game is King of Fighters '98.

I thought you could still gain experience in split-screen and LAN play, but it was separate from your online profile. Personally, that sounds rad to me, because I was planning on doing a LAN party soon, and having everybody start out at the same place in the beginning sounds cool.

Going what with Dexter said, I'm almost thinking one of your friends didn't have the correct version/had a pirated copy, so it locked all of you out from getting experience.

It says in my 360 loading screen: system link will get you XP separately from Xbox Live multiplayer. I don't see how that would not be the case for the PC.

@Mangnalon: Trust me, no one had a pirated copy, and everyone had the correct version. The PC version has flawed LAN play.

It's odd with MW2... they seemed to totally miss the boat on who's playing the game. This is a game that is perfect for clans, yet they have no clan support. For the PS3, there were a lot of group problems (not sure if those are resolved yet) and now you mention that LAN play isn't ranked.
While lots of casuals play this game... it's popularity lends itself well to better community support and functions yet they've totally neglected that aspect. :(

... thanks for the recaps!

"Where have all the good writers gone?"

I don't do weekends! That's assuming you think I'm good...in which case, the ego has landed!
