Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

Pross

So has anyone bought this yet (guess if they have they won't be on here for a while!). New CoD games always come out a week before my birthday so I'm at a disadvantage when I start playing online - can't wait for next week though

I see it is already upsetting the namby pamby pinkos - why is it they don't realise that the rest of us are able to differentiate between a game that is pure fiction and reality while they obviously can't and judge everyone by their own inability? I seriously don't believe I'm going to go out bombing airports because a character in a computer game has :roll: Add to that the radical Christian groups in the US who are up in arms about an apparent scene in the game where the White House gets destroyed by terrorists and I wonder what planet some people live on. I suspect it is also a case of Brasseye syndrome and that the people complaining have never, and will never, played or even seen the game!

Never been a fan of the Call of Duty Games since the second one came out. Very poor single player, apparently the multiplayer is good, but having watched my Nephew play it, it looks a farce.

L4D, L4D2, CS:S, DOD:S is where it's at.

Since the second one (PS2 ?) there has been CoD3, CoD Modern Warfare, CoD World at War and now CoD Modern Warfare2, it's come along way since CoD2.

Single player is fantastic on both Moderd Warfare and World at War, online play is incredible. It's far from a farce

Don't usually play COD online as I'm useless at shooters with the xbox pad, however I'm determined to play this online whether I get my arse handed to me every game or not

XBox :shock: ??? You do realise there's a much better console option available don't you

Any of you on the PS Network then? We can have a Bike Radar tournament

mrchrispy

Too much hype not enough substance. Consoles ruin games.

I've got them both, Too arcadey and childlike. The games are too shallow to be enjoyable, might aswell play tetris. I prefer realistic games like ArmA series, Rainbow Six.

I'd get the games for the single player, but the way enemies respawn for ever really puts me off.

Did you know there's something better than a console called a PC?

Have it downloaded via Steam and I'm enduring 48 hours in limbo before it gets unlocked.

Busy the next two evenings anyway, which makes it bearable.

20 quid inc VAT at Makro...

I only get mine on Xmas day though.

I do own consoles, but few games work well on them, and most of them seem to be RPGs. The only games I've really appreciated on the 360 have Oblivion and Fallout 3. Any sort of FPS must be on the PC to work well, although the Rainbow Six Vegas games worked well on consoles, but most including the likes of COD are poor on console.

I work in the technology sector and am a bit of a gadget freak, but PC gaming has never really grabbed me tbh. Most of the PC gamers I know are a bit more geeky than the rest of us..;-), and incredibly elitest about the whole thing. It's a boring argument I've heard a million times.

Personally I've quite enjoyed the online aspect of COD4 but thought the single player was way too short, and I prefer the PS3 over the XBox, mainly due to it's astestics, BR capability and reliability. The 360 is a shoddy piece of hardware imo and without a built in BR player it just makes it even more unattractive.

i had the original XBox though, as well as a PS1 and PS2.

Used to play Medal of Honour on the PC. Find a dedicated console far better though especially when it acts as a Blu Ray player too. Get to play on my 42" TV with surround sound. I know you can get a PC that can produce the same sort of quality but they don't come cheap!

I'll second this, and the other problem with PC's is you usually have them in another room away from the rest of the family and you tend to be a bit cut off from everyone. I use a PC enough for work and my photography hobby without using it for gaming as well.

Queued for an hour and half in the rain last night at Game for two copies, one for me, one for my eldest. Sat up until 0500hrs playing it!

Pross

So what's the verdict?

andy162

£22.50 in Morrisons. I paid £30 for PAC-MAN in 82! Clocked it tho...

mrchrispy

26 quid is the xbox and ps3 version. pc game is still 35 quid...may as well just get it on steam and play it thursday!

acidstrato

picked it up whilst i wasnt (but should have been) working got it from morrisons
, so many cheap places for copies i'm really happy i stayed in bed last night instead of wasting my own fuel driving to pick it up at midnight.

had a play on it for last 3hrs, it really is addictive if you like cod. but turned it off now to do 40mins on the turbo. best game i've played this year and probably ever

jimycooper

jesus... i swear i heard this exect conversation in science

never really gotten into xbox, suppose ive always speant my spare money on peices of carbon... :roll:

jrduquemin

Got it from Amazon.co.uk today, will be delivered to my office tomorrow morning. Now all I need is a replacement motherboard for my Core i5 setup and i'll be good to go :-)

My Nephew works in a shop that has been selling copies of this through the back door for £75 for over a week before it was officially released.

Game playing doesn't do anything for me at all, but what kind of saddo is prepared to pay well over the odds for it?!

MattC59

My copy arrived at about 11am yesterday. I played it for about an hour then was a good boy and put it down so I could get on with my work (it's tough working from home ).
I then played it for an hour or so around 5pm, then once the Mrs had gone to bed, I played from about 10pm until 1:30am........ which is bl**dy rediculous !!!!!

It's a fantastic game, I'm not going to get into a review or a discussion about which games platform is best (but it's clearly the PS3 ).

Suffice to say, it's an incredible game, go buy it !!!

What sort of moron is willing to pay double the price for the sake of owning it a few days early ? The servers weren't active until the release date, so they couldn't play online anyway.

Appologies if any of those morons are on here, but you're a moron

Pross

Surprised to hear it was being sold early as even reviewers didn't see the game until its official launch.
