EDIT : Just started playing online. My resume : AWESOME.

COD4/5 will feel instantly at home. I often read that the game was overloaded and what not, but fact is : It is not. It rocks. Have played three maps so far, again variants from single player campaign, so far I really like the maps and playing the attack choper, predator missiles really feels natural and I love it.
Damn I wish I could play this game more next week, like 10 hours a day, but I think I'll have to cut that down to like 5 hous a day, screw you university :D
:lol:


I'm liking the feedback. 👍 I was feeling bit intimidated by all the additions to the game I've been hearing about.
Nicely done. I still suck at Free-for-All, even on CoD4. :dopey:
 
Nice work. I am suffering insta-jealous.

For the first month and a half (till christmas) I will be playing on the good ol SD TV but for Xmas I am getting a 21-24 inch full HD monitor :D.

Lucky:drool:. We have a 42 inch LG LCD in our Lounge and have done for a few years but it isnt mine :p. I suppose 21-24 inch monitors up close still look good and very clear.
 
I wish I had crappy TV, so I can blame my crappy skills on the crappy TV. :p

Well the additions fit in very naturally in my opinion. 80% of the game is the same. Some players might think that it's overloaded at the beginning, because they don't know the levels.
I mean, there are two different helicopters, the gunship, harrier , B2 bombers and the predator missile. When your enemy uses them - they are basically all the same for you - a possible death from above. They all vary in their level of danger, making the game more interesting, not really that much more complex.
And using those weapons is simply aswell. Either just activate them or pilot them, just like it that famous single player campaign of COD4.

That's about the difference, well there is the sentry gun, pretty much just another ( rather untalented ) camper ;).
The rest of the additions are again just evolution you'd expect. Better and more weapon upgrades, a little more customization here and there.

So far it seems to be perfectly balanced.

As for Free-for-all. You don't have many options as level 1 player and it is a nice way to learn the maps and tune up your weapons.
I also played a little ground war and S&D yesterday. No complaints aside from the missing party chat feature in most game modes.
I understand why they did it, yet I don't like that at all.

That should give you a good boost for improving your stats. You might also want to consider a dolby 5.1 sound system for directional sound. Helps a lot and it doesn't matter how cheap it is as long as it is true dolby sourround.

I say your lucky with a 21 to 24 inch monitor , my TV should be registered on the National heritage listing, i say its 4000 years old & now its nearly heading for the grave.
 
last night the guy in the store told me, that the guy will be released here on the 10th... if that is true ill be giving some reviews aswell.

My tv is as old as me but it is still pretty big and weighs just over 10 tonnes.
 
^One of those old CRTs eh? I just love moving those TVs up and down the stairs to my apt.

Edit: Do you guys think it's possible to play a knife only kill campaign on regular? Obviously there will be some enemies I have to shoot due to level restrictions and such, but others can be knifed.

Yep, gigantisoar.

Anything like that is possible but that doesnt mean it will be easy so to answer your question, yes you probably can knife most of the game.

Also, the game comes out in Australia in 17/18 hours!

Shame I cant pick it up for over 24 hours (after school tomorrow).

Is it possible that Activision really gave Gamestops in the North East United States to release the game early?

I live in Connecticut so I'm going to give my local Gamestop where I pre-ordered a call in the morning to find out.

According to Bowling's twitter account the answer is no.

# ANY store selling #MW2 early is in violation of street date. There are no "special permissions". That said, we won't punish players for it.about 1 hour ago from Tweetie

However where there's smoke there's fire, I'd say it is definitely worth a shot to see if you can pick up an early copy. As RB stated players won't be punished regardless, so you really have nothing to lose. 👍
 
Actually, after school today I am gonna see if I can pick up mw2 like 10 hours early.
 
^My first play through is going to be serious. My second is gonna be knives only. Maybe my third should be grenades only.
 
If you are unlucky like me, the shop you pre-ordered from will post them all tomorrow so I wont get this till Wed !! YAY.. at least its Express Post :(
 
Tuesday is gonna be hell for me. Planning to go with a friend to the midnight release. Unfortunately I've got class tomorrow and won't be home until 3:30 or so. Then I'm going straight to bed, getting up around 7:30 (haven't decided when to leave yet), going to get the game whenever, and probably staying up all night, going to work at 6am to noon, with little sleep. At no point can I see where its a good idea...:lol:
 
Kk, I failed. Australia isnt like America with copies going out early. I can pick my game up tomorrow then.
 
woohoo got my just right now, downloading the patch and going straight online.

GTP_Chris

feel free to add.

EDIT, just loaded up the game, and after setting up screen margin's and brightness, the game asked me, if i would like to skip one of the mission's because some player's may find it disturbing and offensive. Did you guys get this aswell? Or maybe its just regional here.

Chris
 
Question, how big was the update to download.

The mission is the airport one which people were whining about. By margin, do you mean the scalable Hud thing?
 
Good question, how much MB/GB. i have 8000MB left on hard drive & i'll have my copy in about 4 hours time,

Anyone fell free to add me.

ENERGIYA--V2
 
All you Aussies getting it "early" compared to me. :( I get it in 24+ hours.
 
The update was just 15MB.

Yea i played already the 2nd mission, and i have to say it was kinda akward! I'm not someone who goes out and starts whining about everything but i didnt fire one shot. I did feel kinda... how shell i say... wrong oh well, its up to everyone i guess :cheers:

Been playing online most of the time now and its a blast i can tell u that! I do have some difficulties finding games for Team Deathmatch... strange.

Regarding the margin setting's, it let's you adjust the screen wideness and brightness, thats about it :)

When are the rankings going to be reseted?

Chris

Spoiler about MISSION 2 - HIGHLIGHT TEXT IF WANTED
Now i know why the game ask you in the beginning if you want to skip this mission.Walking around and shooting people for 10 minutes just like that is not much fun.there were also woman and some smaller people...which could interpreted as kids.i just walked through there without fire a bullet, just in the end you need to defend youself against the police.

Just got the game today and interesting fact is that the Polish version is censored (some/one mission(s) is/are missing) , thankfully I got the English one.
Feel free to add me on my non GTP account: mr_geez
See you on the battlefield :)
 
I'm now rank 11 but can't seem to be able to connect to any death match game, all i can connect to are mercenary death matches ... hmmm

Anybody else getting the same problems? It's always something with migrating to host...

Chris
 
I wouldn't get too attached to your rank, if I were you.

are you referring to the reset of all the game stats that are going to happen soon?

Chris
 
Yep. Allegedly at midnight GMT tonight - so about 7 hours from now.
