Welp I just picked up Halo ODST the day it launched and have been hooked since especially on firefight, firefight is basically like Gears of War Horde mode, but with Halo Flavor. And this option is truly epic. But I have been having problems lately, ...yes server and online issues, but this is because I live in hawaii, and every game I try to play with players across the ocean is just really crap, I have tried all types of IP Companies, and services, such as Roadrunner, Hawaiian Tel, Even clearwire and a few id rather not mention. It is all the same, poor connection, this maybe due to conditions, maybe so more. But I am here today to ask out if there are any west coast players or Hawaii players to come join me in making ODST firefight enjoyable. Gamertag: Law808. Add me if you live on the west coast of the US or Hawaii

Why is it that every MMO released after WoW is getting rated during the first week or two, they complain about bugs, incomplete content, etc. Since everyone here knows WoW Ill use WoW as an example.

Gameplanet.com

Their review of WoW (first) was made in february 2005.

Their review of WAR was on September 22nd 2008

.... Wtf is wrong with that piece of **** Don't **** review an MMO atleast a year after release or till a few months. I know some people don't care bout ratings, they'll just pick up the game if their fans of it or got sick of WoW. But these ratings determine Sales for games, giving an MMO especially a mediocre review during its launch week is just killing the overall potential of it all.

WoW had way more bugs then WAR, not as much as AoC but still alot, as for incomplete content WoW during its premature state only had one endgame content, no BGs. And unbalanced classes (no doubt since PvP BGs werent implemented yet)

Read these reviews and compare:

I know its one website but if you comapre them all, WoW to WAR reviews, they gave WoW some breathing room before reviews and its unfair for other Devs/companies.

As the MMO RPG gets flooded with more and more titles due to WoW success,many game developers and companies wants a piece of the MMO RPG world seeing that the market is doing successfully and is at a high peak. Games such as AoC, New FF MMO, Aion, WoW WoTLK, etc. But as we all know,there wont be a clone of WoW success in the MMORPG world. But there is a future for another type, or types of MMOs, MMOFPS world seemed like a failure with titles such as Necron, and Planetside. But there is hope in this generation with titles shooting up with hype such as the amazing details of Huxley, or maybe the espionage The Agency, new direction for MMOs? Maybe, maybe not. But it seems that they are confident to bring the failure of MMOFPS's from the past into the future with the pwoer of these Next-gen consoles, it can be done.

My Prediction: MMOFPS will be a new growing grounds for developers to explore and grow and start their own success stories, BUT it seems that a Starcraft MMOFPS is in the works and is planning on storming this new called breeding ground.

Any other Opinions? This is jsut a prediction and a theory on whats in store in the future.
