Yahoo! points out that online language is offensive
Apr 16th
Yahoo! Games has an article up today about the offensive language that many online gamers use when shooting one another and generally causing death and destruction. Lest you think that I’m going to tear the article apart, I will say up front that it actually presents opposing viewpoints and gives them proper weight, and seems [...]
I Just Don’t Know What to Think Anymore, EA
Mar 22nd
Dear EA, I’ve been over this before: in the past two decades or so, you’ve confused the crap out of me. I’ve loved you, I’ve hated you, I’ve nothinged you. Now, just as you’re starting to move pretty solidly back into gamers’ collective good graces, you get fast and furious with some pretty serious mixed [...]
Bad Company 2 continues its not-so-covert war against Modern Warfare 2 with map pack announcement
Mar 16th
DICE have taken every opportunity to capitalize on the mistakes made by Activision and Infinity Ward with regard to Modern Warfare 2. From their timely announcement that Bad Company 2 would be using dedicated servers right down to the language on the game’s info page (emphasis mine): All of [Bad Company 2's] features combine to [...]
Modern Warfare 2: How many players?
Mar 10th
Tom’s Hardware has a post in which one Ryan Bowling (Edit: His name is Robert. Tom’s reported his name incorrectly) at IW claims that MW2 has 25 million unique users. Yes folks, 25 million. The subtitle for this little gem of a mini-article is “Modern Warfare 2 is the major game for online gamers.” First off, don’t [...]
Battlefield Bad Company 2 Servers Down after only 7hrs 30min… and now back up!!
Mar 2nd
Servers on East Coast were up at 1am today and, now at 9:30pm, they are down. It appears to be a authentication server issue. No update on Battlefield blog yet. Waiting for a word from them. UPDATE: And just like that they are back up, 10 min later. A delightful hiccup. Although I’m sure EA [...]

Bad Company 2 and the Steam Pre-load controversy
Mar 2nd
Let me start off with this: for all of you who are pissed at not getting a preload, get over it. I know, I know. It’s obnoxious. We all know the Steam servers will be overloaded at release. It’ll take 20 tries to get the download started, and we’ll probably all start off with some [...]
Good Advice Wrapped in Some Healthy MW2 Hating
Feb 17th
Coming from a console player no less! While I think the term “noob” gets thrown around too much by retards who think it’s actually something that will offend someone, this is an excellent video on how not to be one in Bad Company 2. Unfortunately it would appear that MW2 Syndrome has invaded the PC [...]
Gamesradar editors don’t know their history…
Feb 12th
Once again, Gamesradar has displayed a complete disregard for gaming history. I find this problem to be very, very odd indeed. On the one hand, their retrospectives and articles on the early days of gaming are usually terrific, and a great throwback for those of us who can remember playing games in the ’90s (and [...]
First impressions: Bad Company 2
Feb 1st
The PC Beta of Bad Company 2 has been out for a few days now, and haven’t played it for more than a few hours, I suppose I might was well start judging it. After all, we here at 3 Angry Gamers actually remember that the Battlefield franchise began before Bad Company (as so many console [...]
