I visited my old clan website Ooms today, more like a graveyard to be honest. It was then that I realised that it was a phase we all went through but we seem to have left our mark on the World Wide Web… Well for now the only proof is the website.

 It was a time we could not wait to get home and chat to other clan members, or to meet them online on our favourite game. At that stage we played Battlefield 2142 and track mania nations.  These games are still popular it is just popular to other players now and younger players for that matter. Although our clan “Oom” was for the older players (over 30’s) we were young at heart. We enjoyed been Oom and we were proud of the fact that we were as good as today’s youngsters at games they spend hours on every day.

I would spend hours on Friday and Saturday evenings playing online with fellow clan members sometimes only going to bed at 2 or 3 in the morning. It was fun; it took our minds away from the everyday nonsense we had to live with. It was the drug that made us forget about our problems. It was our time to be kids again and to be competitive at it. There was just something special about this time and the people we met and lost. It was a small online community or clan that would look out for each other.

I still play some online gaming but it has come down to logging in once a week to set my match instructions for my football team on Hattrick and that is it. But it is just not the same; I miss the good times or what we perceived as good times…

I sit here today and I miss those days but I also know it would be impossible to get it back because many of us have moved on. We have other hobbies and other worries and playing online games have taken a back seat. I guess you can say we have grown up. Should this stop us from having fun every now and then though?

Spiele sind irgendwann durchgespielt (Online-Rollenspiele wie World of Warcraft einmal ausgenommen). Was dann bleibt, ist das gute Gefühl, den Endgegner besiegt zu haben. Und in manchen Fällen bleibt einem auch der Soundtrack des Spiels im Ohr. Hier möchte ich Ihnen einige Beispiele für besonders gelungene Musik-Untermalungen präsentieren.

Secret of Mana (SNES, 1994)

Was für ein wunderschönes Rollenspiel. Motivierend, zu dritt spielbar und eben auch mit einem tollen Soundtrack. Und hey, in welchem anderen Spiel dürfen Sie Gegner vermöbeln, die „Pogopuschel“ oder „Turbopuschel“ heißen? Eben.

Halo und Halo 2 (Xbox, 2001 und 2004)

Das wohl größte Verkaufsargument zum Erscheinen der Xbox von Microsoft war der Ego-Shooter Halo von Bungie. Der und die Nachfolger zeichnen sich nicht nur durch tolle Action, einen sehr unterhaltsamen Mehrspieler-Teil und für meinen Geschmack eine nahezu perfekte Steuerung aus, auch die musikalische Teil hat einen großen Teil zur mysteriösen Atmosphäre beigetragen. Hier zwei Kostproben.

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne (PC, 2003)

Max Payne 2 ist für mich eines der mitreißendsten Spiele aller Zeiten. Das liegt nach wie vor nicht nur an den eindrucksvollen Bullet-Time-Sequenzen oder der immer noch hübschen Grafik, an den tollen Dialogen, dem Wortwitz oder am enormen Detailgrad der Levels, sondern auch an dem musikalischen Thema.

Turrican 2: The Final Fight (Amiga, 1991)

Altes kann so gut sein! Turrican 2 hat mir einen der größten Ohrwürmer der Spielegesichte beschert. Verneigen wir uns vor Chris Hülsbeck für dieses Meisterstück!

Command & Conquer: Der Tiberiumkonfikt (PC, 1996)

Mit Command & Conquer: Der Tiberiumkonfikt legten die damaligen Westwood Studios (die guten alten Zeiten!) den Grundstein für eine der erfolgreichsten Strategiespiel-Serien aller Zeiten. Überragende Technik mit brillanten Zwischensequenzen, saubere Spielbarkeit, Kane und  nicht zuletzt der variantenreiche Soundtrack machen es zur Legende.

Battlefield 1942 (PC, 2002)

Zugegeben, im Spiel selbst wurde kaum Musik eingesetzt, aber die Titelmusik ist zum Erkennungszeichen der Serie geworden. Nachfolger wie etwa Battlefield 2142 oder Battlefield 2 nahmen das Thema von 1942 und variierten es.

Command & Conquer: Generäle (PC, 2003)

Zwar hat dieses Spiel nichts mehr mit dem ursprünglichen Command & Conquer gemein, trotzdem ist es ein verdammt gutes Echtzeit-Strategie-Spiel mit einem hervorragenden Mehrspieler-Modus. Der Soundtrack liefert den perfekten Klangteppich für schnelle, fordernde Mehrspieler-Gefechte.

Anno 1602 (PC, 1998)

So schön kann Aufbau-Strategie sein. Mit Anno 1602 erschuf das damalige Studio Max Design ein beeindruckendes Spiel für alle Entdecker und Siedlungs-Tüftler. Mir war das Spiel zwar immer ein bisschen zu viel des Guten, aber der Grafik und dem Soundtrack muss man einfach Tribut zollen.

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault (PC, 2002)

Die Medal of Honor-Serie hat die Schrecken des Zweiten Weltkrieges wie vor ihr kein anderes Spiel auf den PC gebracht. Dramaturgisches Rückgrad war und ist der hervorragende Soundtrack.

Mafia (PC, 2002)

Mafia hat ist nicht nur ein hervorragendes Action-Adventure. Die Entwickler haben das Kunststück vollbracht, die Geschichte so mitreißend zu erzählen wie im Kino. Und wieder einmal hat die Musik wesentlich zur Atmosphäre beigetragen.

The Witcher (PC, 2007)

Der Entwickler CD Project hat mit The Witcher ein besonderes Rollenspiel geschaffen. Ein cooler Held, eine „erwachsene“ Welt und eben auch ein starker, stimmungsvoller Soundtrack.

Music is now an essential part of any videogame. In consoles past, themes were pathetic mixes of beeps and blips, midi compositions that still managed to inspire gamers to come back again and again. Now, with film and games colliding like never before, it’s not usual for game developers to hire a big budget composer to score their games, resulting in some of the better music showing up in titles such as Fable, Mass Effect and Killzone 2.

These are my three top videogame themes of this new era- the 90’s onwards- let me know what you think, and if you don’t like them, suggest some of your own!

3: The Battlefield Theme: Battlefield 1943

The Battlefield Theme is a classic tune, designed around a six-beat base. The simple nature of the tune is ideal for the games themselves, which stretch across many time zones, from the jungles of Battlefield Vietnam to the windswept mountains of Battlefield 2142. Each iteration of the theme has its own personal slant, but I favour the 1943 version for its fast pace and use of brass instruments, plus it really gets you in the mood to jump in the nearest fighter and unleash hell. Thanks to the team at EA and DICE for this one.

2: The Halo Theme: Halo 2

Ah, a classic. When it first came out, Halo set the benchmark in shooters, instantly drawing games to Microsoft’s much-lampooned giant black box with its brilliant story, graphics and multiplayer. For me, just having started uni, an Xbox was one of my first buys as, having sat through many a late-night Halo gaming session with my flatmates, I was hooked. To hear this tune start up was always a thrill – with a deep resonance and an epic feel this particular version, the Halo 2 Mjolnir Mix, does the series justice with a good bit of electric guitar mixing perfectly with the male voice choir singing the harmony, glorious. Thanks to Bungie and their musical maestro Martin O’Donnell for this masterpiece.

1: The Deus Ex Theme: Deus Ex

Here it its, my number one game theme, the stellar cyberpunk mix of the Deus Ex Theme, an epic song for an epic game:

Why do I love this song so? Is it the rhythm? The mix of orchestral music and electronica? The Cypberpunk feel of the harmonies? It’s all these things, and more. Deus Ex itself was a fantastic game, and the first RPG I ever played which kept me hooked for hours on end with its story alone. A theme such as this perfectly matches the dark nature of the storyline, rising and falling with each new discovery, while being true to its obsession with technology and future events. A perfect theme for a perfect game- thanks go to ION Storm for this work of art.

It’s just a shame they made such a mess of the sequel. Still, here’s hoping Deus Ex 3 is three times as good!

“When Battlefield: Bad Company 2 ships in March, it will deliver the best online multiplayer experience ever.” Those were the words of Karl Magnus Troedsson, Battlefield: Bad Company 2’s executive producer, at this week’s GamesCom in Cologne Germany.

Even if only half of that statement turns out to be true, we either have a new sequel to the Battlefield series this coming March, or we will have an experience with multiplayer that goes far beyond what gamers have enjoyed in Activision’s own Call of Duty 4.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is planned to be available to consumers for the PlayStation 3, PC and Xbox 360 on March 2 In the United States and March 5 in Europe.

Sometimes the more experienced TG squad leaders’ squads fill up before I can get in.  When I’m left as an odd man out I figure what better time to get some squad lead practice time?  So I form a squad and name it “NewbSL” so people know exactly what they’re getting into.  Not a lot of exciting action, just some casual teamwork.  Here’s a video of one of those squads during a round of Tunis Harbor on the PAC side, Aug 4th, 2009.

We had been pushing for Power Station but once Eastern came under heavy pressure we fell back to defend it.  We lost it.  The EU had all three flags.  This is where the video picks up.  The CO had my squad tasked for first capturing then defending Eastern.  Something that we did for the rest of the round.  We lost the round by approximately 90 tickets.

My mic didn’t record so turn annotations on; I’ll be annotating with approximately what I was saying.  I’ll have to fix that for my next video.

I know I’ll probably catch crap for it but the music is Enigma’s “Back to the Rivers of Belief” off “MCMXC a.D.”  I wanted something there but didn’t want to default to the BF2142 theme.  Excellent as it is in BF2142 gameplay videos it’s a tad over done.

Ecco un video utile ai neofiti del gioco che vogliono imparare a lavorare in squadra:

Yo,

Ive made a new knife video in Battlefield 2142. this is my first knife video lol so it’s may not the best vid xD

but here is it :

My 2nd attempt at a gaming video.  The first was a WoW video that was of really poor quality and has since been lost.  No VOIP since I wasn’t recording in game.  No uber squad tactics for the same reason.  But this was too cool of a shot to pass up. 

Added a link to my BF2142 profile in the other activities section on the right.  Whole lotta stats that are fun to look at but not worth farming. 

For the past week I have been diving into Battlefield 2142.  I bought the game with the intent of joining one specific server.  In fact it was the videos from one of the members which convinced me I might like BF2142.  Be that as it may one of the things they stress at Tactical Gamer is voice communications.  I’ve got my headset with a mic, I’m set.  Except everyone has been complaining my voice has been exceptionally quiet.

I couldn’t figure out why.  Same headphones, same mic, same crappy position down near my chin since the boom has no tension left to stay any higher.  People in other games didn’t have problems hearing me.  Only in BF2142 and Project Reality (a Battlefield 2 mod).  Since both games use basically the same engine I figured that the developers just munged their voice code.

Except today I decided to do a little experiment.  When I built this machine I decided to not use my old SoundBlaster X-Gamer Live!.  It’s so old SoundBlaster doesn’t have a product page for it any more.  For some reason I felt that the on-board audio on a brand new motherboard would probably provide better sound than a ~10 year old PCI audio card I bought when I lived in Pasadena, Ca.

Nope.  Plopped that card into my case, got WinXP to recognize it, hopped into BF2142 and into a squad led by the guy who lead the squad just 20 minutes prior.  I asked for a mic check and he heard me loud and clear.  I knew that the on-board audio/video just isn’t worth spit.  I just chose to ignore that nugget of wisdom many, many machine builds had tought me and hoped that maybe it could outperform 10 year old technology.  Silly me.

Life sucks, so little time to do things but here was some highlights so far.

• I haven’t played Persona 4 since the 19th of Janurary 2009.
• I completed Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
• I got Red Alert 3: Uprising, have not played much of it, still need to beat story on RA3.
• I got Street Fighter IV. Collected all characters, still not good at game, controller for 360 sucks. No money for joystick.
• I got The Witcher. Plan to update to the Enhanced Edition. Played a little bit of the start, but thats about it. I doubt I’ll pick it up again in the near future.
• I got Call of Duty 4 for Xbox 360 (already had it for the PC for a while). I actually beat single player mode (awesome btw).
• I got Bioshock. I played it a little, but then my friend hijacked the game and I just watch him play it for me haha.
• I got Battlefield 2142. Have not touched it.
• I got the Left 4 Dead survival DLC for the PC. Played it for a bit, waiting on friend’s to have it too.
• I got Dawn of War II. Played 1/4th through the story and a few online games with on of the friends.
• I got Resident Evil 5. I’m playing Co-op with my friend. I still haven’t finished it with him, but we’ll get around to it.
• I got Eat Lead. I played the first few levels, haven’t touched it since.
• I got Phantasy Star Portable, not for me, but for my sister.
• I got Demigod. Played a few skimishes, it’s basically DOTA, and a few matches with my friend.
• I got the Sega Mega Drive Collection. Played a few random old school arcarde games. Streets of Rage FTW.
• I got Heroes of Might and Magic V. Attempted to play it with a few of my friends… yeah that got nowhere.
• I finally got Halo 3. Played two levels of single player and a whole lot of online until my Live ran out. Haven’t touched it since.
• I got The Last Remnant for PC (I already have it for the 360). I only got it because the 360’s version has problems which annoy the crap out of me. I’ve only installed it and played a little bit. I’m still way further on the 360 version (I haven’t touched that in a while too).
• I got Pokemon Platimum (yes, I know, nostalgia for Pokemon). I got up to the 4th Gym Leader and solo’d with just a Turtwig (evolved during the way). Stopped there for some reason.
• Restarted Fallout 3 to re-earn those achievements which are now linked to my Live account (sigh). So far… haven’t progressed much. I also have Anchronage and The Pitt DLC which came out during those times.

There’s more I guess. I’ve been getting a lot of games, but I hardly play them. Most of the time I’ll random multiplayer my friends, but other than that, I have more games than the time available to play each of them.

Jaja lange ist’s her, dass ich mich zum letzten Mal ins Kampfgetümmel von Battlefield 2 geworfen habe. Aktiv war das wohl noch im Erscheinungsjahr 2005 bis 2007. 2008 dann noch ab und an am Wochende – seither hat die Schachtel mit der DVD aber im Regal bereits eine dicke Staubschicht angesetzt.

Bis heute…

Denn Electronic Arts respektive Entwickler Digital Illusions CE (kurz DICE) hat sich dazu entschieden, obwohl seit 2006 bereits der Nachfolger Battlefield 2142 zu haben ist, Battlefield 2 weiter zu supporten: Am 21.04.2009 veröffentlichte EA die Beta des künftigen Patchs 1.50. Ein Grund BF2 wieder einmal zu installieren. Und was soll ich sagen – das Game ist nach wie vor ein absolutes Highlight und macht verdammt Laune. Der Patch bringt neben vielen kleineren Änderungen auch zwei neue Karten Highway Tampa und Operation Blue Pearl mit.

Die Änderungen im Einzelnen – Changelog Update v1.50:

• Additional support for Windows Vista
• Added Highway Tampa as a required map
• Added a new map called Operation Blue Pearl
• Changes made to both the J10 and F35B to make them more balanced. Please note that the J10 is a superior dogfighter to the F35B and as such these two aircraft will never be equally matched
• AA targeting tweaked to make it more effective
• Added checks to prevent “runway grieving”
• Various changes made to prevent cheating
• Tweaked the hit detection, hits will be more accurate to the model

Battlefield 1943, shown off at the New York Comic Con, is the newest addition to the Battlefield series. Taking place in World War 2, Battlefield 1943 gives the player three maps to enjoy with 24 players, a small, but surprisingly action-packed 12 versus 12 battle for survival. Players can choose to play as either a soldier of the U.S. Marines or a soldier of the Japanese Imperial Army.

In previous installments to the Battlefield series, players could choose from up to four different classes, but in 1943, players have the choice of up to three different classes, or kits. The first class, Riflemen, is best known for its mid-range weapons and abilities. The second class, Infantry, caters to the short-range, more run-and-gun type player. Using short-range weapons, Infantry players can battle in close-quarters combat with the opposing players. The infantry load-out also includes anti-tank/vehicle weapons such as a Bazooka to take down the pesky vehicles. The third and final class in Battlefield 1943 is for the long-range sniper oriented player. Named Scout, it includes Sniper Rifles and other various long-range weapons. Scouts also are equipped with demolition weapons, but it is unexplained as to which exact weapons these will be.

Battlefield 1943 will include one game mode titled Conquest. Originating from its former Battlefield counterparts, 1943 utilizes the flag-capture mode to gain territory and spawn points closer to the enemy. The game indicates which flag is the players by the color blue, and indicates the enemies’ flag by the color red. Unlike Battlefield Bad Company where “Double Assault” mode in which players could capture all the flags was used, 1943 features “Head-On Assault”, where each team has a locked base which cannot be captured.

Bomb Dropping from Rear View

Many changes have been made from Battlefield 1942 to Battlefield 1943, including the addition of parachutes. Bridges can also be blown-out, meaning you can blow up bridges to stop an oncoming enemy, but they can also find another route around to the other side. Also, Gordon Van Dyke of DICE Studios states “If you have played Battlefield 1942, you will recognize the maps included in the game, but also notice the many changes that have happened to them over the time between the two games.” Battlefield 1943 will also introduce a new form of game play, unlimited ammo and rechargeable health means no medics or support classes needed giving a reason for only being three classes in the game (stated above). The game will not feature any unlocks meaning that every player will have every weapon unlocked for them at the beginning of the game.

The mini-map, included in all previous installments of the Battlefield series did not appear in the pre-alpha build shown off at the NYCC, but is said to be added into the game by the time of its release. The spawn-in map shown at the beginning of the game is where the player can pick his or her class and choose a place to spawn in (represented by a flag). There are two systems for choosing a spawn-point, one named “Front-Lines System” in which the game automatically spawns the character in the middle of the action, while there is the “Regular Choice Spawn” in which players can choose where they spawn.

Classes and Spawn-In

Battlefield 1943 will feature the Frostbite Engine used by EA and DICE for Battlefield Bad Company, and will be released as a download-only game on Playstation Network (PSN), Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA), and the PC.

The latest edition to the popular Battlefield series by EA is Battlefield 1943. Starting off 1 year after the first Battlefield game, Battlefield 1942, players are yet again sent to fight in some of the most famous World War 2 sites, including Iwo Jima, Wake Island, and Guadalcanal. DICE is hard at work on the upcoming sequel to one of the most popular games in the series, and is planning for the game to be download-based. Battlefield 1943 has no confirmed release dates, but one can only hope that it will be released later this year or early next year.

Like many social networking sites (AKA MySpace, Facebook), Home gives millions of Playstation 3 owners the ability to interact with others. What makes Home so special is its look and feel, with avatars and public spaces to move around in.

Unveiled at the 2007 Game Developers Conference, Home swept the internet with speed. Intriguing many Playstation owners, players began to generate ideas of how developers could stretch the game to expand the playability and enhance the feeling of the service. Ideas such as different areas, custom homes with custom furniture, and in-game games all came to life.

Many developers have been tracking the progress of Home, working on ideas to expand the game. One developer named Electronic Arts (EA), creator of the Battlefield Series, announced its new Playstation area to be released soon named the EA Sports Complex.

EA Sports Complex will feature banners advertising the titles the company has announced, and a variety of games for users to play while in the space. EA is adding a Poker table for multiplayer Poker, and a new arcade-style 3D racing game named Formula 1 Racer. In Formula 1 players can race each other around a virtual track and compete in matchups.

Now you may be saying that Battlefield Heroes has nothing to do with EA Sports. EA has already shown what they can create, and with the ability to create, comes the ability to expand. Battlefield Heroes, being a very highly-anticipated free-to-play game, can make sales for EA, not through charging playtime, but through advertisements for the upcoming and newly-released games.

“Online gaming garners a massive audience,” said Gerhard Florin, EVP Publishing Americas-Europe at EA. “People want to play games in new ways, with easier access that is quick to the fun. With Battlefield Heroes, EA brings its first major franchise to North America and Europe with a new distribution model and pricing structure adapted to the evolving way that people play.”

Battlefield Heroes is a brand new game from the team behind Battlefield 1942™ and Battlefield 2™. It’s fun cartoon-style graphics and gameplay caters to players of all skill levels. It is easy to pick up and play but with robust character customization and a deep online meta-game, gamers can spend hours building up their characters and conquering the world.

“We put a different twist on this Battlefield game going with the cartoon-style graphics and gameplay,” added Ben Cousins, Senior Producer at EA DICE. “There’s something here for all types of players — be it our core Battlefield fans or casual gamers. With the new online model, we will continually add new content to keep the game fresh and keep players engaged, while integrating player feedback in real time. As a game developer, it is such a cool new way to make games.”
