Navar!

If they do, it won't be for at least a year, but I don't see them doing that this time. The Blu-Ray disc along with the mandatory installs seems to point to "No".

[nerdious dorkus]

also, the game sort of pokes fun at the 360. hahaha. i could never see this on the 360.

[Nathan]

D'oh! Didn't factor in the Blue-Ray angle. Shit balls.

[Abraham Smashington]

I could see it on the 360. It's not like they couldn't add/remove things just like The Twin Snakes on the Gamecube. It's just that it would have to be more than one disc, you'd be lookin at way more loadtimes, and it's just not the right fit at the moment. But if MS ever allows more publishers to enforce mandatory installs, then it may happen.

[nerdious dorkus]

rob hit on the major issue, and that's the load times. there's a few moments where the game "installs" for like 2 minutes at the beginning of every act. if they busted this out on the 360, you'd be looking at a few discs... it'd be ffvii all over again!

Old Snake voice, "Liquid Easy?!"

[Abraham Smashington]

Exactly. The game is easy as it is. Until act 5!!!!

Goddammit! I wish I had a turbo controller so I could open that fucking door.

New strategy, keep to the left of the level when you start and make your way slowly towards the front. Silently take out the frogs as you go, I suggest a silenced MK 2, that way you can take rations from them if you need it. When you get to the area where there are boxes in your way and a small gap is present, hug the wall and you'll fit through that gap. Now just keep going forward till you reach the door. If you haven't gotten the full alert, you should be fine, as long as you time going to the door when no one is looking in that direction. If the full alert is on, stay in that general area of the door and play defense and hide. I suggest staying to the left of the map where you came in. Just make sure you stay in that area, because I noticed, for some reason, the alert phase will not go away no matter how long you hide and are not seen, unless you are in the front quarter or so of the map with the door and 2 gekkos. Or you can make whatever way you want to the area with the door and gekkos and then hide out till the alert goes away. Main thing is you want to make your way to the front and then hide if you have to and hope the Alert phase ends before you die and you can open the door. Hope that makes sense. Oh yeah, you may want to make sure you have some rations or regain or noodles for the next section of the game. I had to reload my save and do that first part smarter and collect more rations because the next section kept fucking me up.

[Abraham Smashington]

That makes more sense in regards to the alert phase. I snuck around for 40+ mins without being seen and it was at 99.99 the whole time. haha

dude, i haven't played since mgs1. i thought i played the others but i was wrong. and even then i was pretty bad at mgs1. i'm a noob at hide and seek.

[Abraham Smashington]

This game is not hide and seek at least not as much as the older ones. I've runned and gunned almost my whole way through.

No excuses, man.

I played my first play through of CoD4 on Veteran and I had never really gotten into any of the other games. It kicked my ass, but I got through it. I think it made me good at multiplayer too.

playing through cod4 on regular first helped me get through veteran later. but i was good online when i was playing through regular. now i just suck, after playing through veteran.

[Fil]

Yeah, it helped make the game longer too. I think it took me like 12 hours to beat it the first time.
