Or are you 19? Or 100? Which profile do we believe?

One thing I do know is that Mr. Schular wouldn't be impressed, particularly after that good OFSTED report last November, that a Year 11 child can't spell "restricted"...


Back on topic now, and the IW forums seem to indicate 1.02 is out (which it isn't) and that a patch is coming on Friday to fix the trophies and multiplayer bugs. In the meantime, I've had a quick multiplayer play and found that public games seem a lot smoother than CoD4 - but I've only had a limited play - and are largely run'n'gun until people start finding sightlines. The single-player game is quite enjoyable but seems easier than either 4 or World At War. Perhaps I just haven't run into the MW2 version of the TV station mission yet...

Played through the first 4 missions yesterday and I am impressed... IW really stepped up to the plate this time... graphics are smooth and sharp as a razor in Full HD. Online was fun too except it takes forever now to find games... and my connection is not strong anymore either... everyone had 3 or 4 blocks I only had 1.... which is not good... I could see on the kill cams that I would stutter across the other persons screen before they killed me, while they just moved around smoothly... For the rest a great game... still gotta try spec ops and my ONLY gripe is the blood that splatters on the screen when you get hit... You cant see ANYTHING anymore... very annoying sometimes...
 
I started out real well. On PS3, I think k/d was around 1.70. Really good for me.

On Xbox Live, my hell started when I started playing with my buddies. Now I've come to a point I can not kill anybody. Literally, I've had couple of games with ZERO kills. It's just so ridiculous, I gotta laugh. My highlight was this guy's killcam. He sees a wideopen shot, he passes. Another super crystal clear shot, he moves on. Then he pans all the way up to top of the building where I'm at. I'm moving, in & out of cover, then I'm dead.

I've mentioned this at least couple of times in CoD4 thread. No matter what I do, it ends up being the wrong move. And when I do get a jump on the guy, my bullets turns into a popcorn, he turns around, pick up his gun, then shoots me dead. It's awesome, and quite amazing.[/rant]. Last I checked, my k/d had fallen from over 1.80 to 1.23. I'd be lucky to break even at this point!

P.S. I saw Blackbird from this site in one of the TDMs. Too bad I left crying just couple minutes into the match. It was on Derail.

P.P.S. People say crap about X360's reliability issues, but the controllers are quite durable. Way I've been beating the heck out of it tonight, it really should be unusable by now. Really, take that Toyota Corolla. I wish my game was this bulletproof. 👍
 
Seeing as this is my first exploration into COD's online world, I must admit, I am tad lost through all the perks & custom classes. :lol:

But, despite the fact I'm still getting into it, I have a strong desire to push through all the challenges & goals each attachment has. It's incredibly addictive, so much I could see myself buying any DLC maps first off.

Anyways, playing tonight, I've gotten to Level 14 Corporal, and have been relying on my trusty M4A1 silenced.

Meant to say M4A1. :dunce:

I'm on the X360. :)
 
I just did a cool little thing. I assisted in the suicide of an enemy and got 350 points.

EDIT: My first game with 4 bars and I actually didnt go to well. Sure I got alot of kills but the deaths were just a few below :(. I did own quite alot though :D.

my K/D ratio has dropped to an alarming 0.90. there are some player's out there, that run around with sniping rifle's but seem to have some sort of mod, cause when you watch the kill cam the have an automatic firing mode...

you guys are so happy, I feel jealous.. as MW2 release is suspended in Russia. Level 4 of the campaign goes censored and will be excluded from the game. That's ridiculous !!

Thats sucks... sort of.. in a sick sort of way.. :sly: But cant you get a copy online from a country that doesnt have the mission taken out? And I can understand why the Russians want that level out of the game... Obviously :)

As far as I know, for PS3 the game is region free, so if you know of a country without restrictions that you can understand the language (I can see that you're speaking English pretty well), I'm fairly sure you could order it from another country. The only restriction there would be that (unless you eventually got the Russian game), you have to buy DLC from the country you bought the game from. (ex. American game can only run American DLC) You can easily create an account for another region on the PS3 in order to get DLC in the future.

I would maybe check the laws (I know nothing of Russia's specific laws regarding game importing) but I'm doubting there would be any problems. It would more than likely cost more to ship it to you, however.

On another note, I have no idea when I am getting this game now, maybe this weekend but it's looking hard.

Chris.
 
I have super billion kills winning and my k/d ratio is 300. Yep.

..Amazon better ship my copy damn soon, or i'm burning that mother down.

P.S. are we mad deez compared to 360 users on this forum, like it was with CoD4?

I have to say, this game has raised the bar for all FPSs I think. What an awe inspiring game MW2 is! I can't remember the last time, a game made me feel like this. Oh, wait, it was COD4!

Anyway, anyone having connectivity issues on the PS3?

I haven't been able to get a game in the last hour, it goes as far as some dialog, then promptly stops. Also, the half-baked PSN game/party invite system is buggered, I haven't been able to play with any of my mates, unless we were luckily enough to find ourselves in the same game by chance.

I can't fault the game, its definite 11/10 stuff, online connectivity though... 0/10! :grumpy:
 
Got it at midnight launch, went to bed, and played in yesterday almost all day! Really good game! I've been playing Ground War non-stop and I've yet to have a match ended due to bad connection. Really fantastic. My scores have been really high like 48-8 in Afghan 37-4 in Sub Base, etc. My KDr was 1.89, but last night I was playing really terrible(2:00AM x_x) and it went down to 1.81. I'm not really going to care for that, I just want to have fun.
 
Mine is stuck where it says fetching playlists and updating ranks and unlocks then it goes to a screen that says "your sign in status has changed" :indiff:

And I can second the online invite system being bugged. Tried about 5 times last night to invite one of my buddies into my party, none of which let him join.

Overall I love the game though! My only real complaints are the invite system and larger map sizes (Seems to allow for a lot more camping)

The group of people who don't like COD is far smaller then that! (@ 888)

Strangely I was one of them :)


There is a definite problem with the friend invite, I would expect another update shortly... otherwise Im reasonably impressed with this game and think the larger maps are a huge improvement on COD4MW which should remove some of the run'n'gun factor.

I notice a lot of guys teamed up with one guy using the riot shield, the second behind him popping holes in everyone... great tactic.

You hooted and hollered about Dragon Rising and led me to believe it was the best game ever. It sucked.
Click to expand...

In your opinion, I'd still much rather play a co-op on OF2 then play any COD. I never claimed it was the best game ever, but it fits my tastes better then everything else on console. Why? because I have much more freedom of movement, and more freedom to play how I like to play shooters. COD doesn't suit my favourite play styles (usually ambushes with a small squad, or long range firefights which actually last, you hit people to easily on COD for that to happen). I'd actually say COD is a more complete title, but I'd still rather play OF.
 
Maps are spread out a bit more now. I think there will be a lot less run 'n' gun in this game. And sniping seems to actually takes skills now. I haven't really applied myself yet, but I think I only have just one or two one-shot kill.
 
So - Is it any good?

What's the online weapon progress like?

Is it like COD5? - i.e. you have to play the game for ages to get good weapons - and if you play less than everyone else you get owned all the time?

Or is it like Quantum Of Solace - where you get credits which you can spend on whichever weapon you choose?

I had a game end after two host migrations saying there was no capable host...

The Derail map is huge and it is good for sniping but that isnt where I got my first and so far only sniper kill. I killed some guy and picked up his Barrety 50. Cal Bling. It had something and a heartbeat monitor. I aimed it down a hall way on a map called something like 'Saints Row' and with a one bar connection took a shot at an enemies left side (heart maybe?) and killed him one shot.
 
Anyone able to play online now? Me and my friends cant connect :(

Great game! But some issues need to be fixed

It's sort of an yes & no. Yes, you upgrade your weapons, perks, etc, just like the first Modern Warfare, World at War. But even before you get your custom classes at Level 5, they give you pretty decent weapons with the red-dot sight.

Yeah, we need more maps like Derail. I've really sucked at that map, but I did like the map. My only one or two sniping kill has come from a pick up sniper rifle as well. Couple of my best sniping performances in CoD4 had come from a pick up sniper rifle, so I can't say I'm surprised. At Derail, I've tried going in as a sniper, but I was a major fail every time.

P.S. At Derail, I told my friend that I suck at that map. He told me he sucked there, too. But of course, as soon as I say that, Murphy's law kicked in, and I went 16-2, which has been one of my best games so far. :D
 
I'm liking Special Ops... :D

Ok, ok. It didn't suck, but the replay value does. I don't feel like playing "gook-killer" anymore. Also, online is too easy. OF2 is probably better suited to PC players with clan dedis and all that, but, oops, they didn't even include dedicated server functionality.

I don't mind replaying the missions, I've never had a mission play out the same way twice, even though the 2 times I've been through campaign on hardcore, I was team leader and thus my tactics were being employed (once I had a human team-mate, the other was solo). That said I don't mind joining single missions online and seeing how someone else attempts things, and trying to rescue things when things go wrong is very challenging and often I've had to finish missions alone against stupid odds and succeeding is just more satisfying to me. This is all for another thread now though, I'll be happy to continue the discussion there.

+1 If only OFPDR had been released "complete".
 
I finished some two or three Special Ops missions solo. I'm waiting for IW to fix the friend invitation bugs so I can play it for real. :)

Apparently, the servers being down was caused by server overload. My friend told me they're putting up more servers, hopefully by tonight.

From Robert Bowling:
@Kaboutertje: MP doesn't require a patch. It's a server overload not a bug in the code. They're working to have servers back up ASAP.
