Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

[Jay_Jay]

I played the 2 previous COD's and thought they were good, I'm not a full on gamer but have a xbox 360 for those times when your a bit bored, I only went out of my way to buy this one because of the price, I think average price for console games is about £40-£50

[TechMonkey]

No idea but £26 for game. It's the guys version of "but honey the shoes were in the sale, they were a bargain"

[Hightower]

I'm not a gamer at all, but COD4 got me hooked. Wasn't so keen on COD5, but can't wait to get home tonight and play MW2. I don't like the single player (even though it looks immense, games bore me) - I'm just in it for the online action.

 

Anyone wanna game tonight on PS3 then add me Hightower_Geek

My Year 9 son, just home from school, has reported a large number odf absences with X-Boxitis today... a quick look at Facebook has verified this

Co-Op mode is fantastic! Spent about 3 hours going through it all on veteran with a friend of mine.

 

Then started playing multiplayer, and ranked upto lvl 62 and called it a night at 4:20am.

[ZeroHour]

I bought the ps3 version and it's a mess of bugs. I am so tempted to take it back and get the 360 version now

I played it for a while yesterday and its excellent, the only thing i find annoying is the friendly AI. When you see them ducked behind a wall ahead of you you assume that the path between you and them is clear and you can run up and join them, where as in reality the enemy are still there and just watched him run up so you get raped and what does the friendly AI do hop the wall and keep going.

Another thing that annoyed me is that there is no lean left / right functions on PC version!

[Jamo]

What do you expect, its not balanced for lean after all.

 

I'm so annoyed with IW! COD4 > COD6

 

Quake > COD6

 

Wolfenstein > COD6

 

Ill stop now

[JJonas]

The local Sainsburys had 100 people queued up yesterday when they opened, and its not even a big town.

 

Right NO SPOILERS please but is the storyline better than COD4:Modern Warfare. I'm up to "Contingency" at the moment and its good but i dont think its COD4 good.

[featured_spectre]

its the follow on, from Act II onwards its better IMO.

[kevbaz]

just finished it thought it was poor very short and simple even from my death bed..

 

atleast theyve tried to make a raping online a little bit more easier on the stress levels by adding in the ingame perks and stuff.

 

cod4 was way cooler with a better storyline and more "thats cool" moments aka c-130 spooky level (nothing like it in mw2)

[CHR1S]

@nephilim - Lv62 in what 8 hrs? I consider myself to be pretty good at the game and in just under 6 hrs got to I think level 22 and I was drinking lol! How the hell did you do that?

 

Ive only played MP so far and it seems good, still suffers from lag big time (as in the I fired a whole clip and the bloke still didnt die then kills me with a single head shot from 4 feet away problem)

I like the perks and how they are implemented and the remake of the COD1 map brought back memories, cant think of its name right now

 

At the moment I still prefer MWF1 but it still has time to grow on me

 

EDIT - the map is brecourt!!

Just a thought, what are the average pings people are experiencing on the servers? as a lot will be p2p setup?

[AyatollahPies]

Morrisons are also doing it for £26, and amazon is £32 for xbox 360.

 

I saw the airport level this morning, and man I can see why some people are upset by it!!

 

Yep. I'll wait until I've finished the game before making my mind up fully, but so far I see it as being completely unneccesary.

There is the Predator usage that is cool but it isn't clear that you can use it many times. Still not as fantastic as the C-130 though.

 

I'm mixed at the airport level. It did leave me feeling a little cold but I can see how it fit into the story. & it certainly had impact.

[gpjt]

Don't know how lucky i was! Pre ordered it on coolshop.co.uk and it arrived Saturday morning!!!! How chuffed was I.

At the time it was the cheapest on the internet at £37. Well pleased as it came on Sat.

Funny in the office too as the other non legit copies being played one of the two got banned! I did laugh!

[mattmoo]

Been playing since yesterday and think its ace so no complaints here. mattmoouk on XBL if anyone else is sad enough to have booked time off to play like me haha

 

Thanks

Played for 8 hours solid, Free for all. Ended up getting around 60 kills per map cycle! Not only that, I ended up stopping alot of peoples kill streaks etc which bounced up my score!

[CHR1S]

Ahhh I play TDM as my prefered choice, might give FFA a go tonight.

[Arcath]

i prefer search and destroy and sabotage, i need a reason to kill the enemy and go places

[timbo343]

I bought MW2 the other night for PC. The only trouble is i sometimes keep getting this random error:

 

Error

 

Insufficient free disk space.

Please free at least 5mb of free space on game drive.

 

Now, i have 50Gb of space on the "game drive" and my system spec is a follows:

 

Processor: Intel Quad Core 2.5Ghz Q8300

Memory/RAM: 4Gb

OS: Windows XP Sp3

Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD4350 512mb PCI-E with the latest drivers from ATI/AMD.

 

I have contacted Activision about this as there seems to be others that are having the same issue, but no-one has found a fix for it yet.

 

Anyway, has anyone else bought it for the PC yet?

Perhaps a bit jaded in saying but the airport level was fun! Especially going in and finishing off the wounded.

 

Now I know that will shock some of you but to me its a game, there is no link to reality for me just as I enjoy violent films.

 

I think this is where the "do gooders" miss the point that as a mature adult I can tell the moral difference between right and wrong, real and pretend and I would never ever wonder into an Airport and kill everyone there without prior mental problems!

 

I think giving people the choice to skip it was the right one, you cant post a message at the start of a film to say "by the way, you might be offended by a bit 15 minutes in, maybe close your eyes"

 

Hey ho

Hey ho

 

The thing is that throughout the game, you get penalised for shooting innocents or committing a spot of friendly fire, then you are faced with a level where it's all thrown out of the window and you do the complete opposite. There is no way that you could justify that level of killings of innocents in order to go undercover.

 

I still don't think the playable aspect of that level was necessary.

 

Maybe I'm just turning into an old fuddy duddy.

[ZeroHour]

I am not sure if it was essential as such but tbh I didnt care, it was all part of the game and I realised as much. I know it would have been okay with a cut scene (and I wouldnt have minded that) but they saw it as a publicity thing probably but the fact it was in neither increased/decreased my impression of the game. To me its all a game and I know when I power off I wont be going to the airport to relive the experience. I do hate PC gone mad tbh so if I was honest I am glad they put the option in based on that alone.
