PS3 online catches up to Xbox Live starting with Modern Warfare

On this week's Rundown, the Warzonegamer breaks down the differences between Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 online features for both the PS3 and Xbox 360. How will that fare out? Also, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 beta is right around the corner, as well as the retail copy released window in March, and the folks behind the game is putting mass support behind the PS3. Why is this? Tune in to find out.

[ZombieAutopsy]

Nice to see that you can join in on games on the ps3 now, i was suprised when it wasnt in CoD4. I'm really excited to try out the Third person game modes mainly because their is a huge lack of decent TPS with good online play.

[warzonegamer]

yeah man its really good

[AKNAA]

The character runs weird in Third person view...

[SprSynJn]

The characters have always run weird in this series. If you ever look at a teammate running, it always looks like some puppet in a horror flick.

[DERKADER]

Just a tip, be a little more professional when recording. By that I mean don't have a phone ringing in the background and don't answer and talk to the random friend of yours. Other than that this is an other hip hop gamer opinion piece that is completely irrelevant to gaming. So look forward to more PS3 vs 360 headlines looking for hits. I want gaming news not one person opinion pieces.

[SolidMGSnake]

Lol well were not exactly talking Uncharted 2 animations here!

[HolyOrangeCows]

Nothing to see here, folks.

[BaSeBaLlKiD721]

3rd person mode isn't that great but thats just my opinion. I tried playing it and it just felt awkward and I play ALOT of 3rd person games.

[slayorofgods]

MS is not going to want the truth to get out about PS3 online gaming.

[ikkokucrisis]

Uh oh, don't let tell the Valvians hear about this
it makes them look bad.

[BLuKhaos]

"Third person game modes mainly because their is a huge lack of decent TPS with good online play. "

Socom is all you need.:)

[naughty57]

Warzone gamer is late to the party

[warzonegamer]

i was not trying to down play sony im just saying that the online is getting better

[nix]

like someone in Gamer zone said it - "it was already there..."

you're late to the party.

[OmarJA]

Agreed Nelson...

PS3 Community is just head and shoulders above 360 & it's only does everything.

[TheXgamerLive]

PSN on line feels like a free service, it sucks to be honest. Xbox Live is great, yes it's 4 dollars a month, the price of a big mac, lol and that's all sony fans whine about, we get an incredibly 100% awesome online community for a couple dollars and they whine b/c psn sucks, I mean seriously it feels so generic to be on it, I hate it and wow what a waste home was. Sony will never catch up to Xbox Live until they decide to charge for services online, until then...generic.

Games? Sony games if good always have a flaw or three, and I believe it's b/c of the cell's memory issues, so yes games on ps3 are sometimes good, and as with uncharted 3 very good, but will never be great due to it's short comings and the generic online. Sony spends 5 and 6yrs. doing kz2 and mgs4 and they were ok, mg was meerly a movie, so gaming wasok only and kz2 was washed out and should be called grayzone, no detail either, was 5or 6 yrs. later and millions of dollars later, the games made NO money aside from sony paid dollars to them.
Gears 1 & 2 are much better in most every category, not to mention Mass Effect 1 & 2. Of course there's the soon to be release Alan Wake and Splinter Cell Conviction. Both crazy great.

Xbox 360? It's only negative is the DVD9, but even with that it's still almost 5 yrs., later doing better games then the ps3 in most cases, and now with the Xengine being used by devs, starting in 2010 games again will leaps ahead of sony ps3 games. It's crazy I know but it just goes to show how Microsoft has done the "phenom"inal with the Xbox 360.

OH! and to his comment both systems had "In Game chatting" taken out, wrong, Xbox Live has in game for all members, all we do is use our Xbox party system we have, You can be watching a movie and I can be doing multiplayer and we can be talking and much more than that even. But but bit he meant in COD mw2, yes i know, but Live has it for everyone so we already have it in game.

Stay tuned kids b/c it's only going to get better:) sowwy sony

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

Was that hiphopgamer??? I stopped watching after he gave a shout to the Yankees.

[warzonegamer]

keep watching its good

[BX81]

@Warzonegamer. Just some advice. Be a little more professional if you want to be taken seriously. Use full info like what you were putting out can easily be drowned out by bad recording and not properly setting up before you record. Attempting to show someone how to join a game is not the same as actually doing it. You said it was show 6? It's growing pains so it's all good just put a little more effort into the preparation of the show. Keep doing da damn thing. Just keep doing you and you'll shake da HHG image. 1 more thing..... NY is back on top. Let the haters hate but how many championships is that in a 10yrs. span?

[LukaX23]

We don't need another HipHopGamer.

[nix]

i agree. *presses the agree button*

[warzonegamer]

im not trying to be like no one but my self if you dont like it dont view it get it

[nix]

too bad.. mate. others have already labelled you as a "hhg copy". hhg has done enough damage in the past over here with his flame-bait "news". that's why you're getting burnt here. just look at hhg's thread (or older ones), you'll understand.

i know it's unfair but hey... life sucks sometimes.

[YLOD Service Tech]

That's right droids, PSN plays catch up while XBL keeps innovating.

[4point7BillionLoss]

HOME cost sony $4.7 billion

that's 4.7 times as expensive as RROD cost microsoft ....

[OmarJA]

4point7BillionLoss is mentally retarded.

[4point7BillionLoss]

PS3 ALWAYS catching up .... still behind in every respect.

especially on profitability ...

[nix]

first Hiphop now Warzone. let us maintain a minute of silence as we celebrate "gamers" day.

[Lykon]

its great that the guy who did the video is on here to answer questions and discus things. i'm a fan of hip hop gamer and this guy has a different style. i found it informative. i'll probably rent mw2 for the single player like i did mw2, i am happy with resistance 2 online, i'm glad of the ps3 improvements tho for the people that like it. i also think the third person character animation looks very odd, like something from 10 years ago.

[warzonegamer]

yeah feels like socom a lil bit but its fun must buy game

[topdawg122]

Good video, this is my runner up for GOTY, It was close, but gotta give it to UC2

[PS3and4_HAS_GAMES]

IS IT ME OR DOES THE 3RD PERSON VIEW LOOK LIKE HE'S RUNNING ON ICE..I GUESS AFTER PLAYING UNCHARTED 2 I EXPECT PERFECTION

[warzonegamer]

the 3rd person looks funny but its fun and as of now uc2 is the best 3rd person game out there

[dantheman1515]

Uncharted is great, the online doesn't have any glitches really nor lag. But the gameplay in Gears2 is so much better. Although the so called tactical week going on in Gears2 right now is terrible. Gears 2 is filled with bugs, and laggy as hell at times. But, when at its best, there is no TPS better than it on the mamrket.

[ChrisW]

Well... If PSN ever wanted to really catch up with XBL, they'd have to start charging for it!!!

[warzonegamer]

i dont think so i think it just needs updates

[ZombieAutopsy]

I actually kinda wish sony would charge $1 a month or 10$ a year just so they could put more effort into all their great-ness, but its just fine the way it is.

[ChrisW]

That's why they came out with HOME. The microtransactions are suppose to help offset the costs of providing a free online gaming experience.

[dantheman1515]

I just don't like shooters using the dualshock. I loved UC2, but when you and an enemy are within 15 ft of one another the game goes to sh*t. Its a combination of the sticks and of the lack of auto-aim. I just prefer shooters on my 360.

That third person looks like it could be some fun. I loved playing GRAW2 online, but its impossible to find a good match these days. I was lookin to pick up SOCOM for the headset, but there really isn't a need to now.

[ape007]

360 give more razor sharp aiming

[DaTruth]

That's what shooting from the hip is for! I'm not sure you really get how to play the game.

[DelbertGrady]

You are not allowed to prefer things on the 360, even if its controller is much better suited for FPS games.

Just because MW2's online on the PS3 doesn't completely suck it makes PSN on par with XBL? lol! All of a sudden all PS3 owners use headsets like they've never done before?

[raptorjacob]

i was just thinking last night when i was playing uc2 how i love getting close to the opponents. you got the guys that just run around shooting every direction, the guys trying to punch you to death, those that try and aim and shoot. i personally like trying to get behind them and choke them or kick them. my favorite part is the close combat.
i dont like headsets cause nobody uses them for the games purpose, i just hear peoples music and cussing out teammates for stealing their gun/kill.

[rob6021]

get Socom man, you just don't get communication in other games like you do on socom. That and they're going to add 5 more maps here pretty soon to socom:C so it will be up to 12 maps. You might be hooked on it, I went on this weekend, to see the servers are still quite full.. the only downside is the competition will be a little steep.

[bujasem_89]

u find a friend playin team death match u just jump in on his game if it isnt full i find that helpful, cause sometimes it gets jammed trying to find a game overall its awesome

[warzonegamer]

thats why im lovin it

[Deadman64]

what innovation Sony is bringing! Being able to join a friends game?! They just won the console war.

[SoulAssassin808]

14mil active XBL COD4 players! That's the difference!

[devilhunterx]

Except there arent any 14 Million XBL users. Just people with multiple accounts. e.g. My friend has 5 accounts.

[DaTruth]

Funny thing is the game hasn't even sold that much on all platforms!

[ReBurn]

Just because your friend has 5 accounts doesn't mean everyone does. And if your friend has 5 gold accounts then he has more money than good sense.

[cyberwaffles]

looks like what MGO should've been.

[badbond1]

your $50 per yr while I continue to stack that money, and play better exclusives online for free - MW2, UC2, Killzone2 beotches! Keep in mind no lag, better graphics, gameplay and did I mention better exclusives?

[PS3and4_HAS_GAMES]

have you played uc2?? sorry but i dont give a damn if you can have a chainsaw fight..uc2 mp owns queers 2 mp..the covering,jumping,climbing,thro wing off cliffs,kicking off ledges,running with tresure while shooting and throwing it..sorry but thats what i call better game play..and yes i played gears mp..gets boring fast

[warzonegamer]

and i love that game best game out

[makingdamage]

Battlefield needs this function that MW2 got where after you getting killed it shows you how you got killed. It´s really annoying in Battlefield 1943 (and also in bad company 1 I think) that you don´t have a clue of what just happen when you got killed. It´s says who killed you in really small letters for 1 ms but that doesn´t help.

[Voozi]

Nah, Battlefield doesn't need to be casualized, especially since BF is more of an open world shooter compared to CoD.

Why when sniping, should I be compromised when I find a good sniping position because when I killed 1 person, they now know where I am thanks to a kill cam? That doesn't seem very fair to me, just seems like it's catering to the casual player who isn't very good at the game.

That's the fun in Battlefield 2 for example, knowing there's a sniper in the area and having you and your squad pan out to search for him, wouldn't be very fun if after someone gets sniped he knew where he was thanks to a killcam now would it? I surely don't see the fun in having the "be the hunter, or the hunted" aspect of Battlefield being taken away thanks to a kill cam.

[Ven1000]

Back when I was playing COD4, it was the SAME experience that I got that my roommate got on his 360 COD4. The only difference between the two was that he payed for his online fun while mine was free.

[jlemdon]

this warzone dude needs to marry hhgamer so they can have a baby that don't judge the consoles!!!!LOL

[TROLL EATER]

now a wannabe hip hop gamer?

[likedamaster]

"mass support behind the PS3"

There was an exclusive beta for Bad Company 1 on Xbox 360. The tables are turned, its not extra support.

[D3acon]

People believe Live is better because you can chat with people while doing something else. Being able to chat with people while doing something else is a good feature but is it worth the $4 a month. Do games run smoothly online without any glitches, hickups and just overall lag?

Seems like Sony offers all the features that Live offers, except the voice chat, for free. Generally PC games run lag free, depending on the server and they don't pay anything for it, you can chat with a friend while doing something else as well and you don't pay a monthly fee.

So I ask how is Microsoft charging for a service that most everyone else get for free without improving the overall performance of the gaming experience and why people are willing to pay for a free service?

[Blackmoses]

here here

[Derekvinyard13]

after a ps3 update the whole online menu for ps3 was faster then xbox

[Silent]

OMG no they didn't theyre trying to win over SoCom's heart, its looks good as 3rd person, nice job

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A MIC!!!

[Gantz_Team]

Nice vid warzonegamer. First vid of actual 3rd person shooter I see from MW2 so you're getting there posting vids faster than most people. Stay on top like that and you'll get far. Good thing you got connections up in NY to get the games early, lucky guy.

Good luck with your site. You should also leave behind your website or blog what ever you got going on - alwas on all your messages and videos - market urself or forever hold ur peace.
PEACE!

[Knightofelemia]

I perfer WarZone Gamer over HipHop Gamer

[jack who]

[CernaML]

Woo.. 3 hours of down time. What are we possibly going to do?

I'm just going to sit back and laugh if Modern Warfare 2 crashes Xbox Live for another week. Happy Holidays!
