Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2Follow

So, I paid for the new Call of Duty earlier, and I was wondering who else will be picking this game up for the Xbox 360?

I know there are a few others on these boards that will be playing, and I'm hoping to find some people to play with.

My gamertag is Feyyras. Send me a friend request, and post here so we can get a big battle royale going.

ill prolly get it, but it will be on PC.

I'm probably going to get it, just not right away. I still play Modern Warfare 1 a lot and World at War even more.

Well, I picked it up for xbox. So far, it is pretty fun. I haven't done any of the missions, though.

The online play delivers, like always.

Real night-vision goggles or in-game ones? If real, did they get them for pre-ordering the game?

Goggles are with the Prestige Edition.

Now to the game:

I played the first 4 missions and they were great. New fresh things to do in each level, nothing feels recycled.

The new aim system is nice. If you pull your sights up fast it will snap to the nearest enemy. You can then control it all you want like normal.

I played the controversial level and lets say it felt pretty controversial. I don't want to spoil anything, but it definately made me feel wierd pulling the trigger at moments.


Multiplayer:

Hands down the best MP of any COD. The maps are beyond amazing. I played strictly TDM (150,000 playing as opposed to 1k-13k in other lobbies).

Maps are not to spread out at all. Good choke points in all of them. Also fairly easy to learn them. I already had a strong feel for a map or two after playing for only an hour.


Level of play is exact same as WaW. Your K/D ratio should be the same.

Got it for 360 and I'm pleased with my purchase (which is a hard thing for me to do, in the last 6 years the only games I've bought are Halo 2, FFXI, Halo 3, CoDMW, Left for Dead and CoDMW2)

The Campaign was fun. Has a decent plot twist, enough savage patriotism to choke a donkey and took about 10 hours on Veteran.

Haven't tried spec-ops yet.

The multiplayer kicks *** so far. Very customizable to what you want out of each class. The perks and kill streaks are much more varied now.

All in all pretty kick ***.

We don't have 16-20 hours on Spec-ops. Unless you're doing them with someone else.

But Teddy is right, Spec-ops is very fun/intense. It gets tough in the upper Delta and above range.

Maybe 10-15, but when you think about the 15minute+ missions and us failing them like 10-15 times in a night on one, thats like 2-3 hrs wasted with no stars to show lol.

True enough

The PC market did this to itself over a long period of complexity and self-inflated worth. A company has no real interest other than altruism (haha yeah right) to provide for a market share which is known for such puritanical, vitriolic, esotericism, when simpler platforms exist as a profitable alternatives.

Doesn't really affect me: I rarely see anything on a PC I want to play.

Cache it out however you'd like: reduces over time or stays the same while other's grow; it matters not. Consoles are comparably much more important for at which to market products, comprise more variety of games, and number of them, and much more simple for which to market due to standardization, as well.

There are precisely three genres for which a PC is undeniably superior. Only one of these (FPS) commands a significant economic interest.



This is why companies don't feel like catering to a PC market.

Why should they, when someone on a console isn't as historically fastidious about those things? You seriously expect to get a superior version of a game, for less than it sells on a console, when most people just don't care at all?

You can't have things mailed to Denmark from some unnamed online boutique?

I personally don't care about multiplayer, but I loved the singleplayer in the first one (hell, in all of them).

A friend of mine bought a PS3 the other day and he's trying to sell it again now. Not only does a console cost big bucks, but the games are about $20 more expensive than PC games. And there's no regulating the settings. Let's be honest here. A video game with smoking graphics should be experienced on a rig capable of running it all. Not to mention shooter games with a controller is blasphemy. Oh, look, auto-aim! So much fun! So very realistic! It feels almost like Gears of War.
