Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Killstreaks aside, I don't see how playing MW2 for the first time is unlike playing any other multiplayer shooter for the first time: point and shoot, know that your grenades are your friend, stick together with teammates, use your mic to communicate, beware of campers.

Because of the perks, the amount of time people put into the game, and the completely random match-making. I don't find it noob-friendly at all, and that on top of the uninteresting campaign in MW1 (to me anyway), just didn't bother playing it that much.

Alright, well, there's apparently no convincing you. I'm gonna enjoy the game and you can have fun with your ballache. K? K.

I shall enjoy playing with my balls, thank you. And Dragon Age: Origins.

Holy shit! This game is sooo goood!! The campaign is really amazing. Feels like you're in a movie. I've already beat it on hardened and veteran (was hard as fuck, as usual)! Spec Ops is really fun, especially if you're playing it with a friend, cos some of those missions are almost impossible on solo. Haven't played the multiplayer much yet, but when i tried it, it was just as good as i expected it to be. And the soundtrack is also good, very movie like.

I found it really hard to get into COD4 when i first started as i got the game a good few months after the release lol but i did find that after a few days i started to get the hang of things and then once you get some skills the game begins to get very addictive! At first i did prefer Halo3 but after a while i found the online play a bit dull.

Just put it into my PS3...and I'm prompted to download a 1.01 Update already? WTF?

[GuardhouseMusic]

...so that stat reset thing didn't happen. Unless it didn't YET happen.

And you stepped away from the game to tell us?

Thanks!

Wow. I just played for about 5 hours. I'm on one of the last few missions of the campaign which has NOT disappointed, contrary to what I've read here and in reviews. I think it's been pretty awesome so far, I'm just confused as to Spoiler:

why Captain Price launched the nuke? At first I thought he was firing it on Washington DC and was officially off the deep end, but then two missions later you're back controlling Roach and Price is still with you. I'm pretty confused.

Anyway, I'm up to the mission in the woods when the mines go off right at the beginning, and decided to take a break.

I played two multiplayer matches. I love the new perks and weapons. One HUGE problem, though. I killed this guy in a small room on some forest map, and he spawned DIRECTLY BEHIND ME not two seconds later and shot me in the back. I ran upstairs, knifed him, and the SAME THING happened again. They need to fix the spawn points ASAP.

Other than that, I went 46-24 in my first two games so it's definitely the same Call of Duty, but at the same time...it's not. It feels much more refined, looks MUCH better this time around. I'm gonna sink lots and lots of time into this game, just as I planned.


I'm taking a break right now and I plan to finish the campaign in about an hour or so.

Overall, this game is just as epic as I expected it to be.

And you stepped away from the game to tell us?

Thanks!

You're welcome, but no, I didn't step away from the game. I was downloading the patch when I posted that.

I beat the campaign. Absolutely AWESOME. I don't know what people are talking about when they say it's bad. Farfetched and ridiculous, yes, but it was so very fun to experience. It was CHOCK FULL of so many "holy fucking SHIT" moments that my brain can't even handle it.

Seriously, who the hell was expecting Shepherd to pull the gun on Roach and kill him and Ghost?! That was like...wow. Unbelievable. I was confused but his monologue near the end before the EPIC, EPIC, EPIC fight between him and Price cleared it up. I was actually kind of rooting for him after that, but I came to my senses.

A very cool ending, although I have no idea where they could go from here with the storyline. Soap and Price have to be Public Enemies #1 and 1A, unless they're able to expose what Shepherd was trying to accomplish. Either way...I'm extremely satisfied with the campaign. Fucking awesome.

And now, onto the multiplayer. I get giddy thinking about the hours I'll spend on this game. Seriously. It's as amazing as I was expecting it to be. I'm taking full advantage of all the noobs online tonight, and raping in every single game I play. Like old times. It's really freakin' awesome.

Right now, I have to say that it is a very close tie between Uncharted 2 and MW2 for my game of the year.

There's only one problem I have with the multiplayer, and that's the spawn points.

It so bad... I can't go a game in free for all without some guy spawning right behind me and killing at least 3 times. It's so annoying...

Fucking PS3 servers are down. No one can connect to Multiplayer or Spec Ops right now. This seems to be the rule for PS3 games, though...you get what you pay for. fourzerotwo said on his Twitter page that yet ANOTHER patch(a third one) will be up by Friday. Wow.

[REmaster]

Damn, you know how long it will last?

[GuardhouseMusic]

I got another patch just a second ago.
