@petethepanda: They probably wanted avoid losing potential NHL 12 customers to violent psychosis.

This actually seems like a pretty cool application not only for split screen play, also but for augmented reality type stuff. Like, what if you're playing a coop game with a friend and you can see enemies that are invisible to him?

@Vecha: He also made a documentary called "Expelled!" in which he quite literally asserts that Charles Darwin is to a significant extent responsible for the Holocaust.

@Vecha: He'd probably start talking about how Darwin is responsible for the Holocaust.

@S.I.: Faster than the speed of awesome: Do people actually say that, though? Viewing Halo as a gateway to Half-Life suggests that Half-Life is more sophisticated than Halo; if this was the overriding opinion, hardcore people would not be complaining.

You know, messing with ostracized minorities in the '80s and '90s is one thing. But do these guys really want to take on internet people?

@Xeo: Like gravity!

@ashthrace: Since the military goes to great lengths to prevent people from receiving any actual media relating to actual war, it is not surprising people want to make video games about it.

"Oh man, this 1 Vs. 100 game is pretty fun."

@Salen: No one is more authentic than Kane & Lynch.

Bobby Kotick played Mario once.

@manobon: I would assume they're talking about putting their own transmitter/receiver in the hardware and just plugging that into a USB port. You don't actually need the internet; the reason you connect it to a PC is so you can plug in different rulesets using software.

@manobon: Uh, laptop?

I really hope this is all just marketing BS, like with the original game, and in the end they deliver a true successor to the first one.

Mark Wahlberg IS Johny Stone in Tales of Monkey Island: Origins.

They are trying to concentrate on playing Madden while smiling for the camera at the same time. So both, or neither.

@Gentlemen: I think what it will do is create a new paradigm in which engineers can build defensive sentries and then sacrifice them for some crit power during offensive pushes.

@Wade McGillis: Well actually, odds are everyone is going to be royally pissed.
