Use of Online - FIFA10

WTF

Seriously wtf, nearly every game when I played it people disconnected it you were winning 3-0 or more, how the hell, that is an award stolen from CODMW2.

CODMW2 is basically a game just for online, and I can't bash it, not even with the glitches.

As opposed to an original game like LBP, yeah lets all have more dullness

I thought Fifa 10 had the League mode? MW2 doesn't exactly offer much for the player in new features or innovative ways of doing it, apart from removing lean

The gameplay, the different gameplay modes, feeling of maps, killstreaks, unlocks etc are all features, just because they are not innovative doesn't mean it's not good enough for an award, the whole FPS genre cannot be innovative, it's an FPS ffs.

Not many games have an average of half a million people playing at one time on one console, actually, is there a console game on the PS3 that even comes close to that?

LBP was last year, and I can't say it's biggest thing was online gameplay, apart from downloadable content.

You don't like it? Most people that say that are too crap at it, or haven't spent enough time on it. Halo was one of the biggest games for the 360 without a doubt, but for me, it's crap.

The only thing I don't like with CODMW2 is the autoaim, I used to be a pro gamer at an FPS that relied on accurate aiming with perfect hitboxes (no CS:S), so for me, it's like a little aimbot.

Sponsored by the retailer GAME. :)

No surprise to see Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, clean up on many of those awards. Not sure about MW2 being featured on "use of online"? all i ever heard/saw from people playing it was how bad that part of it was, weird.

MW2 shouldn't have got that, it was as a MP experience very limited and poor. And didn't offer much online. Fifa won with 'use of online' not MP (won by L4D2). so the MP game in Fifa isn't what this was awarded for. I'm guessing it's their fantasy team thing and the live leagues that did it. (although don't own it so kind of guessing)


Uncharted 2 and Batman did well. They can go home happy.

Look all to be good choices to me, can't find any argument to oppose any of them. Would of liked to see more categories though and some certain titles mentioned.

So now all the twits at Infinity Ward think they've done a good job with MW2? Great!
Just great..

I hope to god the next Call of Duty is better.

Treyarch is doing it anyway

<brag>

I was there, and it was a fantastic night :)

Even though the stream was live, Dara Ó Briain did a few gags before hand that probably couldn't have been broadcasted live.

Managed to meet Miyamoto which was amazing :)

We were chatting to some of the BAFTA people about winners being selected after the awards....it's surprisingly complex. I think they played it safe with a few of them, but on the whole they were all close anyway.

A very enjoyable night. Roll on the days when it gets televised!
