ooh... Birmingham.

I'm so sorry.

We should have seen this coming. The game is seen as an expansion pack by many, which always hurts the review score.

It's at 87.5% Gamerankings right now. So considering the above, that's very good.

I'd estimate 86.5% will be the final score on GR (Meta lower because of the unknown sites and hate reviews included).

@slime

nah it'll be lower than 85 or stay cause they gonna include gamerstyle (7/10) and eurogamer italy (6/10).

I think it's worth $60 for those who don't have the maps, like me. :D

On Meta yes because they include lots of random sites, but not on Gamerankings because they wont include Eurogamer ITA or Gamerstylej in their aggregate.

85 on Meta at the moment

Another succes from Bungie. First day (FPS = Not often) buy!

Everyone who is getting this. Add me as a friend. I need as many people I can get to play Firefight at any time I want.

Exactly what I predicted in the predictions thread.

First..

You didn't answer any of my questionsm since you still dont see my point... and for the negative part.. let me highlight it so you see what im saying.

Dont see how .....!!!!  Innovation   !!!! ........can be at 8.7 when...... !!!!    HE   !!!........ complains about old graphics, same gameplay, no new guns or vehicles, and that Bungie had lied about this being completly new game experience"

There you go.. its right there in the first post. Let me break it down for you even further.

I, myself, feels that the score of 8.7 for Innovation, stated in the Teamxbox review by the reviewer of that same review, is too high in refrerence to what his review is telling us gamers. And this is because he, the reviewer, writes with his own words that nothing has changed and theres nothing new added. And Innovation, or Innovative, by definiton is;
- being or producing something like nothing done or experienced or created before

And since he, the reviewer, constantly broght up that nothing is new. I, as in myself, questioned how he could give a 8.7 score for Innovation, when 8.7 is really good. Its like saying that "nothing is new, but it plays like nothing you've ever played before" Which just contradicts itself.

So to sum it up... when I asked how the score could be 8.7 i was refering to the score of Innovation in correlation to what the reviwer had written in his review. But it would be hard for you to see past that since your fanboy self couldnt comprehend the word HE, and since you hadn't even read the review.. non of them infact... i dont see why you would even jump into the discussion since you clearly didn't know what the hell i was talking about.

And your entire point is about me not using IGN as a source. But that has nothing to do with the question:

2. Why do i have to be able to play the game to question the reviewer??
I'll answer it for you. I dont. Since the game itself has nothing to do with the question i asked in my first post.

Its like saying i have to have played Pokémon for me to question why a reviewer has it at 10/10 when all he writes is negative. Why would my game experience with Pokémon change the fact that the review dont correlate with what the score is? Its like saying "Uncharted 2 is the worst piece of crap game i've ever played - 10/10". And the same goes for my initial question. He states throughout the review that "theres no new guns, no new vehicles, gameplay hasnt changed, bungies statement about this being nothing like the others isnt true and you can tell that the graphics is old but DAMN this is so innovative. 8.7!!
