Trust me I am lol. Any niche game's community will have a more respectful fun for all atmosphere just because the nature of a niche game means everyone playing loves it for the same reasons. Same idea as going to comic con, everyone there is a nerd so you're among friends lol.

But they would also have to have some safeguards because there are a lot of trolls out there.

PS1 had FF turned on always with no option to turn it off, it has been confirmed PS2 will have the same.

It will be big, no massive.

No worries, I was simply being a tad sarcastic on Eyeklops comment about "prone & OSOK Quick knife" being so crucial for a FPS game to feel complete.

IMO, friendly fire is a must for PS2 but who knows how it will work at release...

Honest I don't really see it happening. Well, it depends on what you mean big hit. This game cannot run that well on older, nongaming computers without dedicated graphics cards or good processors. This limits the target audience to those with above average computers. Of course, that audience is in the millions, but you gotta admit this game is going to be more hardware intensive than League of Legends or Team Fortress 2. Millions will play this game, but I don't see it reaching 30+ million like LoL

Yes graphically intensive. But what I'm mainly worried about is CPU intensive. All the models and calculations done on screen is much more than my poor laptop's Core2Duo can handle, but it can run LoL and Starcraft 2 like a champ (on low settings haha!)

Except they are making the game so it can be played on older computers. Granted it won't be at the graphic quality we see, but if it runs with no lag, then that should still be great.

But yeah, it won't be the "biggest ever" however I sincerely believe this will be a genre defining game and we will see more companies follow suit in making more MMOFPS games.

My prediction. Blizzard see's PS2 and makes their own MMOFPS.

Game over.

It may already be on the way...

It would probably have cartoonish graphics and an ability bar to access your movement, shooting, etc.

Yes, but probably the average shooter fan has a better computer than those who play LoL and such.

There's no way to know how well it will do. It could be like the first one, where it totally deserves a footnote in history, but doesn't get one. It could be the next World of Warcraft. It all comes down to good marketing, sound gameplay, bug free environment, etc..

Lol, I wouldn't be surprised by that at all.

Nah It would probably take almost everything from PS2 and streamline it to be more casual. Thats what they did with everquest when they made WoW.

But yes, cartoony indeed it would be.

Your rifle would glow blue with all kinds of different enchants. You also have giant shoulder pads.
