Happy Wars is now available for Xbox Live Gold subscribers

I tried to play the game yesterday on the multiplayer front without any success, the matches could not started for not having all the players on both teams or something on those lines, what i did played on the singleplayer looks promising, every class is very different with different purposses, remind me of a cross breed between fat princess and animal crossing (great thing mind you), i hope i will be able to play the game laster today on multiplayer without any connectivity issues.
p.s and for me the game is free, what is not free is the subscription for XBLA Gold, but the game in itself is free, i dont understand the argument and discussion about this.

It pisses me off when people jump on these threads with comments like:

‘Grow up’ or

‘Go outside’

(You know who you are…)

God damn hypocrites… If you don’t like it, write a paragraph or two about the game in question…

The comments section is helpful to people as it gives people the ability to be critical about other games / consoles that most official review sites are unable to do beause they’re too scared to or bound by contractual obligations.

I can hardly see Eurogamer or any other biting the hand that feeds them.

You always get some trolls but most posters can make an informed arguement based on their own personnal experiences using a console or product.

I tend to not take people so seriously if they only use one system as there can be obvs bias towards it.

But to say, stop arguing is such a cop out. Especially when half the people who say that, wait for a thread about COD just to troll anyway.

And thats the mature way of doing it… Yeah right… It’s worse if anything.

Da Man you are pathetic as ever. And Poly you have become the biggest Nintendo defender of the entire community. A lot of people like to pawn that off on OG but that just isn’t real you deserve that title.

@Da Man its funny how first you say:

“I have no idea how you went as far in your imagination that you even managed to trick yourself you aren’t despite likely having never played Halo multiplayer and even if you did, you yourself said that it was very long ago and you practiced bad playstyle.”

Making the presumption that I don’t play the games multiplayer with a small chance I have to.

“As for Halo tournaments, were they family ones or amongst your friends? because if you’re good vs terrible it doesn’t make you good actuallly, you know”

How you ridicule and dismiss my knowledge on the aforemention games and then decide to acknowledge me playing the game with family and friends. MEANING I must have played the multiplayer and had some understanding of the game. Well sir that’s beyond any reasonable arguement on where my experience in said games lay.

Considering I have told you and others I have gradually fallen off of HALO due to terrible mechanics and casual stimulation. I now am a secret Halo wannabe player? I don’t think at anytime did I not say I don’t want to play Halo 4, I actually said I have been researching the game and keeping and eye on the game right? And I even gave a conclusion on why I will be skipping this version as well right? So what arguement/rant is justified in your world that you think you are insulting me with information that I had given you?

I in no way care about that SDF,NDF,XDF bullshit you guys spew around to try and belittle the arguements/opinions of your peers. I much rather reasonably point out the flaws in your arguements and the fallecies you implement when you go towards personal attacks without any real purpose towards the arguement.

Poly your a bandwagon whore. All you know how to do is hop on what everyone else thinks is fun. You don’t have your own opinion on anything and further prove that the moment you look for aid in people like DaMan in trying to insult others because they don’t give their assholes over to your favorite corporations like you do.

I think it’s funny how you guys want to say “OH LEX SDF! HIS OPINION DOESN’T MATTER!” but the only reason you disregard my “opinion” is because I call you twats out on the bullshit you claim you do.

For instance, DaMan wanted to undermine my arguement/opinon because I gave an impression of a beta for the multiplayer of a unreleased game I was playing. Resistance 3, All he wanted to do was bash me for openning my mouth on the game and not realize that I was openly sharing a true to form synopsis of said game. Then he proceeds to call a franchise that he “played” the 1st & 2nd versions of a halo rip off even though everything consist in earths atmosphere and the “aliens are mutated humans” and in the past not the future. He goes off to say that he KNOWS RE3 is garbage when he hasn’t played nor cared about it and it’s just “Sony trash”.

You know what we call people like you DaMan? Hypocritical Twats.

Poly wants to call me a nintendo basher/hater. Well that’s not even true seeing how I love nintendo I just don’t respect where the hell they are in gaming the last 3 gens. Both handheld and console a like, but that just can’t be right? No one could possibly be dissappointed in “MY NINTENDO MAGIC” they do everything right! From Milking franchises for the sake of “MAGIC” to releasing hardware revisions of portable consoles just like cell phones with no real change in the graphical out put or mechanics of the device other than…. it’s slimmer? brighter back screen? Well they have just been doing that tactic since 1989 with Gameboy. So if it’s a broke off cock in your ass don’t remove it right?

You 2 are completely useless and blind to see your own fanboy status qou you just have to pawn it off on anyone else who have an opinion. They said TEA was a asshole on here but I digress little sharts like you are the assholes who creep through this site.

@Lex

Poly only started defending Nintendo when a lot of people started ragging on the Wii U regarding features it was never supposed to have in the first place.

e.g. powerwise, everyone knew it wasn’t a new super computer but people still kept dragging that up when Nintendo was announcing stuff for it.

Me pathetic? What are you doing in here? Fighting for your precious Sony in a corner like I said..

Yes I assumed you never played it, based on your ignorant nonsense. then you said you did, so I asked whom did you play it against and noted that beating poor players doesn’t make you any better.

You now went as far in your Sony induced imagination as to call Halo ‘casual’. So again, you ‘re wrong. And as for general public playing it poorly you could always go to other playlists, even Mlg.

You’re just full of shit, dude.

And you’re deluded. Simple.

You’re just getting angry at your own denial and bs.

It’s funny how you need five paragraphs of blah blah blah every time you want to say something which can be summed in a sentence.

Also, you might as well start saying how color of the aliens makes a difference.

Resistance is a poor man’s Halo. The whole reason both it and Killzone exist was Sony wanting to make an fps for Playsation after the success of MS ground breaking title (that they failed miserably is another topic). A sci-fi fps with arcade shooting and angry alien foes.

Plenty of Halo happens in Earth atmosphere. There’s even a whole title with humans instead of Chief, set entirely in Mombasa (Odst).

Unlike you, like I said I regularly mock almost anything MS related. So out of us two you’re the only hypocrite and an err, twat.

@Da Man: You do know that Halo used to be an RTS game for pc, and then turned into a shooter because this genre was very popular on pc?

Halo may have been groundbreaking for console-only gamers, but except the vehicles it wasn’t really that different from existing pc-shooters.

#109 Ofc I do. Although you’re mistaken, if you watch the ancient interview with them, they say how they wanted to make a mix between a strategy and action. And that didn’t work. So they changed it to third person. Only after they changed it to first person.

And that early intent to make a rts/shooter mix feels when playing it, actually.

Bungie have been making Marathon games almost a decade beforehand, which had multiplayer pioneering many game types. So what does that even have to do with the topic?

It was just as good as any of then existing PC ones, and simply phenomenal on consoles. There’s a list of things Halo pioneered or was first to use properly.

Wow… I’m away for a few days and look at all the fun I missed!

@lex: seriously dude, what are you, a fascist?
relax, read your ragepiss post again. it´s never too late to say i´m sorry.

btw. i praised resistance and give a lot of credits to insomniac. i cannot count how often i said that i believe insomniac created some of the best and most fun videogame weapons ever….but well….what can i say….halo is still the better game, in every single way. but wait. i am just on a bandwagon, only liking what other people like. i know resistance is such an underdog game and sony are the outlaw punks of gaming and you are so unique yourself. i get that.
your post is full of ignorance and love for yourself. you are as unreflected as shit.

@108
Agree Resistance and Killzone were Sony’s attempts to make a popular FPS. You can make a number of direct comparisons where Halo is generally considered better too – AI, controls, flexibility in MP. However they both play fairly differently to Halo too, so rather than being a poor man’s version they at least try to offer something different to Halo – whether they are to your tastes or not. I’d say Killzone in particular is a lot more heavily influenced by CoD than Halo. Resistance MP was always more old school and about OTT weaponry.

So lets get this straight . I am a noob because i already established that for me the series and playstyle has grown stagnant for me. That i should also continue to torment myself by going to MLG sites for players to quench my dead thirst of a game i lost passion for?

And because halo had one game out of the franchise with a heavy focus on earth after 3 space wars we say resistance is mocking Halo again? And how the hell do you have a poor mans HALO how douche baggy do you have to be in order to say something like that? I guess your only cool if you hang with the rich kids to huh?

You want to call me a hypocrite because you don’t see me stealth attack Sony frequently? Hell even in this article i didn’t attack MS . Unlike you i asked if people were playing the game this thread was about. Oh so hypocritical of me.

Also, im writing five paragraphs because i rather not have 8 seperate post of half assee oh wait i should have said this to post like you did.

Your idea of why a franchise exist is also laughable. So a company can’t explore an open market of creativity because that exclusively belongs to MS/Nin gotchu all hail the big 2.

Also, i didn’t say Halo was a straight casual game. I said i lost interest in the casual playstyles that run a muck. Like how i could say i hate seeing campers and snipers fill up a map in CoD. Its an annoyance and a right i have to implore in what i choose to spend my money on.

Poly if you could read you could tell that what my quarrel with you has nothing to do with resistance. But, your over compensation towards anyone with an objective view against nintendo and its magic as well as what you think is a better fit overall.

I know you like resistance i heard your praises for it here and there. But, who has the bigger issue here with others appreciating and or scrutinizing against others favorite thing? That would be you, sir. Even before wii u had definitive specs you refused to let people even express their concerns with the tech.

It was all whining about how people should shut up and have faith in “nintendo magic”.

Theres nothing to say sorry for, so why would i apologize to you for your one sided impressions

yes indeed. where can i sign that? people should indeed have faith in nintendo magic. who needs to know the specs for a ninty console? if that really makes me an ignorant fool in your world, fine.

i do not refuse to let people express their concerns about anything. something wrong with your memory chip you bot?

you said: ninty only kids games, shovelware, wii is collectiong dust, a toy, no real console….stuff like that. then you are pissed if someone tells you to sit down and shut up…?

You’re a noob because you don’t know the basics of the game, obv. Which is why I adviced you to educate yourself a few posts back. You should go to less casual playlists if you want to play it more properly.

You didn’t lose any passion, you never had one.

As I said, you’re just full of shit.

Plenty of Halo happens on Earth. that one just was completely Earth based.

You ‘re a hypocrite because, like I said you fight for the most generic Sony churn and never criticize it. I do criticize and mock all companies.

You write essays because you fail at speech.

Any other questions?

I never said any of the aforementioned you claimed i said. Those aren’t even close to what i have a problem with nintendo with. So you are again painting a self pleasing world to justify yourself.

Iam very angry at this thread, it is me who should earn the title of the biggest Nintendo Defender not Poly or OG, man iam so piss off right now…. UGHHHHHHH….
p.s writing this while wearing the NDF hat and T-Shirt.

@120: well Manu the early bird catches the worm. my advice. keep working hard, maybe, one day you´ll earn it too

btw: the coup is: i earned it in a microsoft related article! that is art right here! watch and learn!

will you look for the link or will i have to lex???

Creating a false since of entitlement in my world again huh? So you also instantly know my skill level huh? You are a tard, keep telling yourself you know what drives me and what i love to do.

Again i don’t need to critize anything on this site. You would know this since you know me so well that i have a private site in which i discuss games with friends and friends of friends giving a much more pleasing amosphere than a tard on the internet that openly ridicules things to prove his point on a little corner of the internet.

Halo is not primarily earth based thats plain and simply fact. Even in Halo 4 its not eath based. Different set pieces, story, plot, objectives,timw period,struggles, and enemies. They are simply not the same

Look up the word hypocrite then look up the words that define hypocrite so you can break down your understanding so you can properly use the word.

He loves to rile people up Lex… I know it’s difficult/frustrating, but just let him get on with it & go about your business.

You can look all you want, you will see how it wasn’t me saying it was any of the things you claim i said but other posters. Now do i know people who believe that the wii is all of thee above sure do.

you´re right lex i just checked, i mixed you up with that clupula guy…but anyway. if we take this thread here that´s good enough.

i mean you claimed that i am a bandwagon whore with no personal opinion.

nintendo magic exists.

@126
Ah the stealth edit … did you look up hypocrite?

it does exist lex…no specs information required…it´s just there…for you…to embrace it.

that´s not stealth editing. it is editing. i edited it 5 seconds after posting it.
and i said the same thing i had, just a shorter version of it.

no i know the word hypocrite. he used it in a wrong way.

#127 But the hypocrite calling was not torwards Polygem, was torwards Da Man Doc

@131
And this is why it’s a stealth edit …

#131 Doc, would you please tell me what do you mean by stealth edit?, iam not following you.

Ok i admit that claim is harsh. I just don’t understand this unspoken alliance thats going around here lately.

oh boy doc…a stealth edit is when someone responds to a post in a very agressive way and is then editing it after someone responded in the same agressivenes. then you cange your post, make it more polite and the other guy looks like a fool. that did not happen here and i would never ever do that! i edited my post, within seconds, you were probably the only one reading it in that time dr. anyway, i said the same thing as in the existing post but deleted that i called lex the real hypocite here, i just wanted to be polite that´s why i deleted it. i changed my mind the moment i posted it. that´s not stealth editing. but if it makes you happy doc. @lex: you are the hypocrite here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stealth_edit

“A stealth edit occurs when an online resource is changed without any record of the change being preserved. The term has a negative connotation since it is a technique which allows an author to attempt to retroactively change what he or she said.”

I read what Poly wrote and then he changed it. My response was to the original post, but as you didn’t see that you don’t understand the context.

Poly used his example – still left in the post – to imply Lex was the hypocrite, and that he should look it up himself. It didn’t really make sense. It disappeared shortly after. Hence why I asked if he had just looked it up.

@Manu – to my understanding, a ‘stealth edit’ is when someone will go back and edit their post, often to better support a current argument or to take out something which they regret saying. Ninja-style

Do any of ye have jobs?

free day today. yay.

@Dragon:

@Dr. i am not native english speaking. i edit stuff a lot. i kind of have to. but by no means i am stealth editing.

Ok thanks Doc, and Deacon, now i know/learn one more thing today.
edit; add the word learn, just to demostrate i learn from this

@135
That’s just an example. The confusion caused with Manu is another.

The problem was the jump from “i mean you claimed that i am a bandwagon whore with no personal opinion.” to Lex being the hypocrite. For him to be the hypocrite you have to show he is the one who is a “bandwagon whore with no personal opinion”. You didn’t really do that.

I am hard at work, hardly working will be more accurate

……
Yeah, now here is a recap-
Some people said that this game isnt free, more like a freebie for gold members.
Then nerd rage followed proving psn sucks, then anyone who doesnt like halo is ignorant and doesnt own anything other than 360 and so on …

Happy wars indeed
Proved- vg247 is better than happy wars at happy wars. AND ITS FREE!

If i would knew the context regarding this, i will shut up instead of asking, really guys, sometimes ignorance is bliss.

@Dragon: i wouldn´t sign your conclusions about what happened in this thread but yea, happy wars indeed.

I hope Brenna is watching this

This thread got retarded the moment people started comparing PSN+ to Xbox Live.
One is a paid service, the other is free.

Xbox Live GOLD is a paid service, through which this game is available to play. So it’s not FREE-TO-PLAY. Whereas there are genuinely FREE games to play via PSN.

Cue butthurt Sony-haters like Da Man whirlwinding things up into a storm. As usual.

@148
I think you mean PSN to Xbox Live. Though PS+ to Live was done and is a silly comparison – two very different things as far as main focus goes.

@148

Not want to be winding you up, but it is F2P. F2P means the game itself is free. The distribution is irrelevant, else no game could be considered free, as you need to pay for internet to play any F2P game.
