Some of the reactions to reviews are a little disturbing. That Gaming Everything one mentioned the intense gore and the torture sequences and raised what I think is a valid point about how far it goes. A lot of the reactions have been along the lines of "Screw you if you think it's too much" and "You're such a pansy", and it's not limited to that review - I've seen it all over the internet.

That sounds a bit like Danger Close's response when people saw that you'd be fighting as the Taliban in MP in MOH.

WaW was gory compared to both MW games, it's something that Treyarch seem to do when they made a CoD game. I've heard about how gory the torture scene is in the Campaign, but it's not as if we haven't seen violent scenes in other games before.
 
I hope its so gory you can rip off someones head **** down their neck and piss on their grave.

Meh. Ever seen any of the movies from the Saw franchise?

That's not gore or real violence like you might see in Rambo, or hell, this game.

That's just, "How messed up can we get?" shock factor BS.
 
Saw VI had a scene where a guy was strapped down and a giant ax was ripping open his stomach. Guts and stuff where flying everywhere. There was a couple of messed up scenes.

But, yeah, they all do this for the shock factor. They want to create controversy.

EDIT: Can anyone depict what's happening in the cut-scene? I'm very interested. :D

No controversy, just how much further they can come up with these outrageous & unrealistic scenarios like the girl being chainsawed in half in their newest crap movie.

But back to the topic of something actually entertaining.
 
Hell, if seeing violence in video games gets to anyone I would hate to see the face they would have in my back yard in deer season!

Cod has a single player? Multiplayer and zombies FTW.

When did that happen? I played the campaign twice, with gore and all that turned on, and never did I think it went too far or even close to it.
 
I'm leaving for gamestop in about 30 minutes. Hopefully I'll be playing this game in about 3 hours.

It's more the gore that's intense. Apparently you can shoot the limbs off people. It happens more in single-player mode than in mutliplayer (though I'm not sure if it can happen in multiplayer at all), and if MODERN WARFARE 2 is anything to go by, then everything happens pretty quickly so you've realy got to pay attention to it.

As for the torture sequence, it happens in the missions "Numbers", where you break a window, put glass in a captive's mouth and beat him. It's apparently pressure-sensitive, so if you're only tapping the buttons, it might come across as fairly lightweight.
 
They give you an option to disable the gory stuff when you first start up the game might I just add.

Makes sense after Infinity Ward did the same for "No Russian".

Can you disable the torture scene, and if you do, do you simply skip it like "No Russian"? The big problem with skipping "No Russian" was that there was no real explanation of what happened and you kind of had to piece it together from the exposition in the plot. You got the basics, but the nuances were lost. I remember being confused when Shepherd revealed he was the one who burned the spy inside Makarov's operation because I skipped "No Russian".

Also, what are the cut scenes like? Are they actual cut scenes, or something similar to the very bland satellite image and dialogue from MW2?
 
Got the game, patching its ass now with some e-bandaids.
 
One in the chamber is some hectic crap right here.

I haven't done the BO single player yet. I'm more interested in the multiplayer because I used to play comp cod4.

I'll probably do it eventually just to get the other zombie map but for now I'm steering well clear.
 
Having fun with the campaign. It all happens as a stream of consciousness. Seems to work pretty good so far, but its very different than the previous games' have been.
 
It is HILARIOUS watching people in SnD fall for the decoy. It is rolling around infront of them yet they still chase the dot.
 
I hated MW2 but loved WAW. In MW2 I hated the cheaters and all the other online probles with that game.

Lets get some honest opinions in here. How does this multiplayer compare to MW2? How are the cheaters, map glitches, spawn killing??

It's a bit too early to tell. In a couple of weeks it should be clear.

What's everyones favourite setup so far? Mine is:

Enfield with Reflex Sight.
Makerov
Frag
Willy Pete

Scavenger
Sleight of Hand
Ninja
 
I wouldnt say its too early to find glitches and cheaters. I played MW2 for the first 2 weeks and it was unplayable. Just loaded with problems. If there are any exploits, they will be used within a couple days or by this coming weekend.

I am optimistic since BO has the file share system from Halo. This will instantly help to bust cheaters and glitches.
 
The game is pretty fun so far. The very first thing I did was play on the new zombie map that is available from the start. All I have to say is wow. I don't even know where to start making a strategy for that map. Its that crazy.

After that I played a few levels of the single player. Its not bad. The timeline is a bit odd but the action is pretty good.

Eventually I downloaded and installed the world at war zombie maps that came with my hardened edition. Its unbelievably fun playing the old maps with modern weapons!

Lastly I haven't played online yet but I have been doing combat training in free for all to learn the maps. My two favorite setups so far are MP5K with red dot and extended mags and the M14 with reflex sight and grip. For those wondering the AI in combat training can be intense. I'm a good player and I haven't even won a game on hardened yet.
 
Time attack,
I mean no offense with this but do you ever work or go to school or anything?? You are ALWAYS on the forums or gaming. Self employed? Unemployed? lol
No offense just curious.
That combat training sound like a lot of fun against the bots. Great way to check out your weapons and get warmed up.
 
Lets just say I used to work full time 40+ a week but it didn't end well and with the economy the way it is these days I have lots of time to play games.
 
Really sorry to hear that. :( I guess the optimistic way to look at is that you have a lot of time for gaming. Hopefully you are at least getting unemployment. :)

So playing against the bots is pretty fun?? Can you earn credits against them or is it only for practice?
 
Picked up my copy around an hour ago on my lunch break ! Still got the afternoon at work before i can get near it and i'm not even gonna get a full night to play it as i've got some other crap to take care of :(
