If you've ever wondered who would win in a fight--an MMO player or a FPS player--your question is about to be answered. This weekend at a CPL event in Dallas, Texas, pro-gaming team Pandemic, who just won their latest World of Warcraft Arena comp in the World Series of Video Games, are about to face off against Flow Gaming, one of the worlds top FPS Clans, in a game of Fury.

Fury is the latest game to come out of Aussie developer Auran, and is the first MMORPG to come out of Australia. Fury is being tagged as the game that brings the speed of an FPS and the depth and character enhancement of an MMO together. Earlier this month it was announced that gamers had the ability to win up to 1 million dollars in prizes in the Fury Challenge before its October 18 release. Details of the Fury Challenge and where it can be downloaded from can be found here .

EA's latest iteration of Medal of Honor franchise--Medal of Honor: Airborne--landed on Xbox Live late last week to mixed opinions. Here at the GameSpot AU office, we decided to overcome our fear of heights and see for ourselves what Medal of Honor: Airborne is really made of.

The demo--which will cost you 973MB in download--starts you off in an authentic WWII briefing room where you listen to your superior outlining the mission goals and objectives for Operation Husky, which is set in Italy. After that you are taken to the load out screen where you can select your weapons--the load out we choose was a Thompson sub-machine gun, M1 Grand and a colt .45. Then it's off to for another loading screen before jumping out of the plane.

There's a brief moment where you are sitting in the plane, being told about the drop zone, but that only lasts a minute. Interestingly, the parachuting mechanic is nothing new to the Medal of Honor franchise, as Medal of Honor Allied Assault: Spearhead featured a parachuting level. Once you jump out of the plane, it's a fairly easy decent, using the left analog stick to control your parachute. Although you can land anywhere on the map, it doesn't really make that much difference to how the level plays out. You still need to take out the AA guns on top of the mansion before moving on to the next objective.

The A.I. in Airborne is good, but nothing special. There seems to be an unlimited stream of enemies coming towards you, who are asking to be shot. The enemies will take cover accordingly, peek around the corner and return fire, but they don't seem to do a whole lot more. Once you kill enough of them, they will start to fall back moving into cover as they go. It would have been cool if after that they try to counter-attack you or out maneuver you, but instead they just run back and find more cover. Allied soldiers aren't a whole lot better. Though you can't control any of them, they do decent job of following you around. Occasionally you you'll hear a teammate yell out "follow Boyd" or "machine gun 12 o'clock. Again like the enemy A.I., your allies don't seem to be interested in moving the fight forward, instead they're just happy shooting at the enemy and waiting for you to push forward. When you start to run out of allies, more will just parachute out of the sky to help you.

Graphically the demo looks great, as it uses a modified version of the Unreal 3 engine. All of the weapons are beautifully rendered and the character animations are spot on. Unfortunately the environments aren't destructible or even damageable.

One thing, that Medal of Honor: Airborne has done well, is the cover system. When your crouched behind a an object, you can peek up form behind cover and shoot, by bringing up your iron sights. When you release the iron sights, Boyd goes back down behind cover. This is a great solution to the problem of using cover that many FPS games face.

The Medal of Honor: Airborne demo isn't bad, it's just uninspiring. The parachute mechanic is cool, but it lasts for no more than 30 seconds and isn't particularly challenging. The demo lasts for about 15 minutes and is available on Xbox Live now for both Gold and Silver users.

Last Sunday, GameSpot AU attended the World Cyber Games (WCG) Australian national finals, which were held at Luna Park in Sydney. Gamers from around the country came to compete in Counter-Strike 1.6, Warcraft III, Gears of War, and Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars. Check out some of the pics below to get a feel for what the action was like on the day.

The event was organised around a boxing ring in the centre of the hall, which would later host some celebrity Forza Motorsport 2 action.

Gamers were given the chance to try EA's upcoming WWII shooter Medal of Honor: Airborne. Other companies who were displaying games included THQ, Ubisoft, Sega, 2K Games, and Microsoft.

A giant inflatable Master Chief Helmet played host to six Xbox 360 demo units. Pretty cool ey? And no, there wasn't any playable Halo 3 in there.

The Gears of War competitors were fenced by a metal wall so that nobody could distract them. At any one time, there were four games being played.

Booth babes were walking around giving out raffle tickets allowing attendees the chance to win a variety of prizes including MP3 players and computer hardware.

Altech were displaying their latest racing peripherals, designed to feel as real as possible.

Pro gaming team Sequential Gaming duke it out in the earlier rounds in Counter-Strike 1.6. The team had initial trouble with their monitors but were able to make a full recovery and win the tournament. Members of team Sequential include Miles "riZe" O'Connor, Michael "apoc" Aliferis, Otis Duncan "Pupajon", Soren "Soren" Larssen, and Daniel "messi" Anderson.

Sequential Gaming hold up their massive novelty plane ticket to Seattle for the WCG world finals. Winning just isn't the same without an oversized novelty ticket.

Earlier this week, GameSpot AU attended a Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare multiplayer event held in Sydney. At the event, Activision showed off a multiplayer build similar to what gamers can expect when the beta is released--if it comes out locally, that is. Currently the beta has only been announced for North America.

We got to play through three multiplayer maps: Crash, which is set in a Middle Eastern town and reminiscent of the film Black Hawk Down; Overgrown, which is set in a Russian ghost town with plenty of growth to hide and snipe in; and Vacant, an abandoned office with side loading dock. Though other modes will be available when the game comes out, Activision only demoed Team Deathmatch.

Before jumping into the game we were encouraged to try out the "create a class" option that allows users to assign their own custom kit and perks to their character.

Although we could use "create a class" straight off the bat, when the game comes out it will be unlocked after you reach the rank of private. As mentioned earlier, Perks are extra abilities that the player can equip once they have earned enough experience points. For example, if you prefer to snipe (and once you have equipped a sniper rifle), you can assign up to three perks which can include deeper penetration of rounds through walls or increased damage inflict by your bullets. Fortunately, if customising your character isn't your thing, there are few default classes to choose from, all of which have preset weapons.

There were a host of weapons at our disposal—they were categorised into rifles, sub-machine guns, machine guns, sniper rifles and shotguns. Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPGs) can also be equipped if you assign them as a Perk. Some of the weapons available include the M-16A4, M4, AK-47, M-21, Dragunov, M-249, PK, Scorpion, Uzi and MP-5 just to name a few. All of the guns are modelled beautifully, right down to the company logo on the side of the weapon. Just as much detail has also been put into the weapon animations--when laying down automatic fire you'll notice the extractor claw moving frantically to eject rounds, just as you would a real gun. The firearms are fully customisable, featuring the ability to add on scopes, silencers and a grip, which will reduce the recoil on your gun. You can also add on a custom camouflage pattern onto your weapon so that it matches the environment. This feature is particularly handy for snipers who like to hide in the shrub wearing a guile suit. All of the guns had different levels of recoil, depending on the calibre of the weapon. Unfortunately though, you are unable to utilise the tripod that's on some of the machine guns.

The action in COD4 is fast and frantic; you'll often find yourself in a situation where there are team mates falling and bullets buzzing all around you. Similar to previous COD games, your health is indicated by the amount of red that's on the outline on the screen. If your screen is clear, you're fine--if your screen is filled with red, you better take cover and wait for your character to heal. Each of the three maps allowed players to try out the different attributes of each weapon and class. Overgrown is an excellent map for snipers to try out the new guile suit as there is plenty of shrubbery and bushes to blend in with.

One cool thing we got to use was calling in air support. Air support comes in two variants--air strikes and helicopter attacks. Once you get more than five kills you're able to call in fighter jets to drop munitions on your enemy--just make sure you're not in the same vicinity, as the blast has a wide radius. What's even cooler is after you score seven kills in a row you unlock an attack helicopter. The chopper does a strafing run, unleashing a barrage of fire from its mini-guns. We were told it's possible to shoot it down, but no one came close to hitting it with an RPG.

Although we only got a brief taste of what's to come, COD4 is shaping up to be a really fun multiplayer game. The COD4 beta will be available to those in the US tomorrow and hopefully here in the not to distant future. Check out our previous previews by clicking here.

You've played Guitar Hero, and you love the shredding, but you're sick of being tethered to your television set and wired guitar. Jam Sessions brings you all the things you love about playing the virtual guitar, without the wires. GameSpot AU recently caught up with Ben Taylor, product manager at Ubisoft Australia to discuss their brand new rhythm title Jam Sessions for the Nintendo DS.

The tyranny of distance strikes again. Future owners of the upcoming PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of FIFA 08 had a neat feature to look forward to--five-on-five online matches where each individual gamer takes control of one player for an entire match. Alas, that feature will not be available for anyone outside the US or Europe.

Check out the full story here , but in short, the reason Aussie gamers won't be able to play like this in FIFA 08 is lag and drop-outs--or at least, the possibility of lag and drop-outs. A local EA spokesman said bad connections to the server in FIFA 08 would result in all players--not just the laggy one--getting booted off a game. Alas, that means us.

Welcome back to another week of OFLC Watch, where we look at games that have been rated in the past week by the Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC). Just in case you didn't read last week's entry, the OFLC are the body responsible for designating rating logos on the front of our games.

Australian developer Krome Studios has had their upcoming Xbox 360 game Viva Pinata: Party Animals rated this week. The game received a G rating, making it appropriate for all ages, and is the same rating given to the original. Viva Pinata: Party Animals will feature over 40 mini-games to play. Sadly, no official release date has been confirmed for the title down under, but we're keeping our little Pinata fingers crossed for a launch in time for a Christmas this year.

In racing news, it looks like a demo for THQ's Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights is on the way, with a multiplatform demo disk for the street racing sim appearing on the OFLC website with a classification of PG. The title's description lists it containing mild gambling, and mild sexual references. Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights is due for release this September on the Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, DS, and PC. An Xbox 360 demo is available now on the Xbox Live marketplace. Bizarre Creations' Project Gotham 4 has also received the green light this week, receiving a G rating.

Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, the suitably named sequel to Rayman Raving Rabbids best known for its crazy mini-games was given a PG rating late last week. Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 is due to flail its way onto the Wii this November.

Well, that's it for another week of OFLC Watch. Keep checking Spot On! for all the latest release date news and info.
