I just tried that Modern Combat: Domination game. I must say for $8 (ONLY $6 for PS+ members) it's pretty damn sweet. I only played with bots though so I can't really judge actual multiplayer but it's a solid game. It seems like a combination of CoD and SOCOM. There are rounds and no respawning (unless you can chance the option) like SOCOM but the shooting, look and controls are very CoD. My only gripe this early on would be how many bullets it takes to kill an enemy.

Headshots FTW. Not to mention there are guys running around with up to 100% health and armor bonuses.

I messed around with the 45 minute trial. Solid shooter, but BC2 and MAG are enough FPSs for me right now (even for the low price).

Yeah, I did notice headshots are the way to go. And the armor thing would make sense because I did see that stat pop up during the two times I was killed by bots.

So is theres no respawning is it elimination rounds like in Uncharted 2?

It's just like SOCOM. Every life is important. If you die you have to wait until the next round. And again like SOCOM in one round you might be defending a missile and another round you are trying to plant the launch code on the missile. Shit like that.

There may be a way to turn on respawns but I have no idea.

I'll def have to check that out. I fucking hate respawn.

Not so fast. Scott Pilgrim is $5 this week only. If you haven't downloaded it yet you should. Awesome game.

no on-line co-op is the only reason I haven't bought that game, I don't want to play the whole thing alone.

Yeah, no online sucks but it's $5.

Aye.

If you ask me, no online co-op (in games that allow for co-op) and unlimited respawning completely render games useless to me.

According to the Gamefaqs boards there are two matchtypes that offer respawn, Team Deathmatch and Domination. The rest of the modes are no respawn.

I'm definitely going to pick it up. For $6?!? No brainer. The game has 72 levels for chrissakes.

i bought it a while ago

I wish I knew how the money works. I only have $2400 to spend between deaths/rounds and the only thing I can afford is the MP5 and a few grenades every time.

From what I gather, your equipment carries over to the next round if you manage to stay alive. So you have to stay alive, merc fools, and/or run around with just the pistol for a few rounds in order to bank your money for the better gear.

Too bad I'm not good enough to do that.
