*cough* Call of Duty*cough*
for once its $13.50 here in aus as well, same as USA!
old or not, TF2, CS, CS:S have set the price point for their respective series. I don't see any sequal for TF or CS to be more than $20, ever. my opinion of course, but I would be so greatly surprised.
activision knows that their target audience (teh brainwashed masses) are idiots and simply charges accordingly, valve knows that their target audience has a bit more critical thinking ability hence the reasonable price tag.
I played the beta a bit and I have to say I'm fairly impressed with the upgraded visuals, while the gameplay stays the same as CSS. My only issue, which should be fixed come release is the bullet spread on the M4, that gun was far too gimped the last time I played.
It also launches on my birthday. I'll likely be playing!
