Modern Warfare 2: Glitches Edition
Volomon | 1:55 PM on 11.02.2009 2 comments




They say this is an "elevator" glitch, honestly I have no clue wtf an elevator glitch is. I think there talking about invisible walls where you can get up on top of them. They are actually geometric shapes that were not made into the shape of the object they actually represent allowing them to serve as pseudo-walls, but whatever.

Not really a surprise given that the context of the shapes are usually tested based on "ordinary" conditions, private matches allow for larger jumps or more unrealistic conditions that are not as heavily tested, and honestly probably not cared much by IW. So don't expect to see this glitch in public.

However reports of an invisible glitch are about, and this one I've never run into myself. Supposedly allow players to turn invisible.

Volomon | 9:34 AM on 11.02.2009 12 comments




Info from description: Here is my Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Exclusive Video Review. Please watch in HD for best viewing results. It is possibly one of the best games in 2009. For more reviews, previews, and videos, head to www.cgaming.com

Enjoy Dtoid!

Additional Videos you might be interested in.









More info here: http://www.themodernwarfare2.com/ (perks, killstreaks, maps, deathstreaks)

Update: Luckily this is not my Review, just got this as word on it's demise from FourZeroTwo (or possible poser?) "The embargo does not lift for another week. Review copies just went out today. Activision's legal department will be in touch. "

Woo....glad it's not my video. Props to those who got to see it, I'll try to find another copy.

PS3: PS2 and Dreamcast Emulation
Volomon | 11:01 AM on 09.22.2009 4 comments


Kind of shocking right? I mean not the PS2 emulation we knew that was coming, but Dreamcast? This info comes from what appears to be a leak of a SEGA meeting.

SCEA Meeting Aug 5th Notes
Aug 6 2009 ? DRAFT FOR COMMENTS

Sony PS3
SCEA reiterated plans to sell 13 million PS3s this year
Big announcement back half of year they can’t talk about (potentially price cut of PS3 to reach hardware goals)
Motion Controller
Spring 2010 launch (March in JP)
Yakuza
Could put Japanese games directly on PSN for download in a special Japanese Import section (pricing $9.99 to $39.99 for full game).
Valkyria 1937
Could bundle with PSP as well.
Sonic Anniversary
Could put out collectors edition with all old sonic games on one BD disc.
PS2 emulator for PS3 (confidential)
SCEA wants to sell all PS2 titles on PSN (GTA Vice City/Sonic/etc)
For co Marketing money show PS3 controller on TV ads ? similar to EA Madden Spots, NCAA, etc…
DC Digital Titles
If we provide a list of DC titles SCEA will let us know which ones they’re interested in having exclusively.
PSP Titles
For SKU differentiation it’s best to offer features that are slightly different from PS3 version.
Titles that are coming up on PSP are Assassin’s Creed II, GTA China Wars, Resident Evil, Little Big Planet ? all massive franchises.

Though the question has to be asked why keep denying cool things? Are they afraid Dreamcast and PS2 sales will dip?

Contest: Juggernaut Codes Xbox360/PS3 part.2
Volomon | 5:19 PM on 09.20.2009 14 comments


Ok so no one happen to get it last night, and I know I said I was going to repost the contest today at noon. I was in the lovely thralls of Chemistry and Biology homework, when I realized it was 6:21, yes my day consists of work from 6am-2pm, homework from 2pm till I freaking fall asleep. All I can think is what the hell did I get myself into. Despite neither one of them being to hard I have more classes than that and everyone wants to pass out homework like it's candy. Holy balls man.



At least my lab partners hot right? Anyway. The new clue is letters M-R. Same rules as last time apply. In the case of someone guessing the same letter the first person to guess it, is the winner of course.

http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/Volomon/contest-juggernaut-codes-xbox360-ps3-149231.phtml

[EDIT: IF NO ONE GETS IT BY 12PM EST, I WILL JUST POST THE CODES UP RIGHT HERE ON THIS POST AT 12PM EST GIVE OR TAKE A MINUTE OR TWO. GOOD LUCK!]

[EDIT: SORRY FORGOT, THE TIME, I TOLD YOU MY HOMEWORK CONSUMES ME. I'LL BE UP TILL 6AM, (yes when do I sleep, I'd like to know that too, you know that myth about asian drivers being bad? I think I know why.) THE CODE WILL GO TO WHO RESPONDS AFTER ME AND THE GUY BEFORE MY POST, SINCERELY SORRY ABOUT THAT.]

Contest: Juggernaut Codes Xbox360/PS3
Volomon | 8:13 PM on 09.19.2009 15 comments


Ok here's the deal, I ended up not getting my code till 48 hours after I already had the game. So I called told them the situation and waited. Well I got an Xbox360 code with the instructions to email contests@gamestop.com with the subject line JUGGERNAUT, which you can try if you want a free PS3. Not sure if they have any left though. However I did that and apparently got one for that and one for calling because now I have two PS3 codes.



He's got his own spark, he's got a nice charge that plows down foes left and right. Not the best single target character however. All four of his powers are meant for groups of enemies. Personally I think it's a flaw with the power system and a balancing issue. Because towards the end a melee attack by Deadpool does more damage than his own powers or that of most of the other characters I have except Songbird and Jean Grey. Anyway though he's got his uniqueness and he's fun to mess with.

So simply all you have to do is guess the first character of the code. You only get one guess, and I'll give you a couple of clues it's an alphabet character and it's the latter half of the alphabet. Let me know which code you need PS3 or Xbox360 you can not go for both. If no one gets it tonight I'll repost it tomorrow around noon eastern with more clues.
