Modern Warfare 2

So? GTA4 leaked like 18 months ago

no, I mean the game can be dl'd over the intertubes if you're a thieving 360 thief

I hope the single-player story has a bit more variety, rather than run to point A, shoot, run to point B do something else. Rainbow Six Vegas is the only realistic shooter that's gotten that right in my book.

Multiplayer can be fun, but I hate getting stuck with a bunch of 14 year olds who have nothing else to do but play. There should be a MP mode that requires age and employment verification.

Woah, lol @ sainsburys just now. They've been open for 90 mins and their stock hasn't arrived yet, so the store is FULL of panicky 13 yr olds and their harrassed mums. Staff looked near suicidal. I didn't hang around.

I was pretty far back in the queue at Sainsbury's In Crystal Palace, no problems though as loads of kids got refused the game for being under 18, oops. Thought I was going to get taxed on my way out by gangs of irate 14 yr olds.

Just played it for an hour but needed breakfast and coffee (definitely coffee) it's v v v intense, and twists right from the early bits. And Loud? very. very very very.

Picking mines up this afternoon. I'll be MP on PS3 from 9 tonight. Probably not touching SP until Sunday.

serious question: what's so great about the CoD games?

coz isn't going to work today is he

Didn't see him online on the game earlier when I was playing, but I've had to pop into town and now nneed to cook dinner, won't get back on til after the boy's gone to bed.

Did realise though that I'm about 2/3s of the way through already, unless act 3 is waaaaaaay bigger than the others.

Jordan - with the earlier ones, it was just a very solid WW2 story that really felt like they were placing you on the battlefield. For the time, there was just a lot of stuff going on in those games all at once that was really crazy (basically like playing the opening 20 minutes of Saving Private Ryan). With the first Modern Warfare, what made it really stand out was 1. The change to modern times & weapons and 2. The multiplayer...

CoD 4 multiplayer was just so much faster & smoother & had such a great hypnotic feel that made it more intense than other (console) multiplayer games. It just felt about perfect. On top of the feel, it had a great leveling mechanic, where as you ranked up, you unlocked different weapons & abilities that kept the game feeling fresh even as the hours piled up. The maps were good, and besides the leveling up perks, there was also a slate of different game types that you could switch between - from straight up deathmatch to more objective team based stuff (nothing that hadn't been done before, but again, nothing that hadn't been done as smoothly before).

you know it specifically like says "WE RECOMMEND YOU PLAY SINGLE PLAYER FIRST" when u try to multi before completing the campaign?

i agree with what jeff said about multi, but i also want to add that the storytelling in the single-player was just really inventive and smart and surprising.

he storytelling in the single-player was just really inventive and smart and surprising.

very true

xpost - Probably because most (all?) of the maps come out of the single player part, it kind of spoils the single player if you play the multi first, but still - the multi is the meat of the game and the real attraction, yes?

I didn't really get too into the single player campaign in Call of Duty 4, for whatever reason - it took me like six months to actually finish it, though I was glad I did as it unlocked the arcade mode, which I thought was a lot more fun & wish I'd spent more time with. I guess there's no arcade mode in this one though? Seems like co-op mode replaced it?

yeah, but as i said i really like the stuff they do with single player so i'm going to finish it first. (it's apparently also pretty short)

I'm actually probably going to play the single player first this time too (maybe because I'm a little worried the multi is going to end up feeling too much like just more of the same?). Actually I think I'll probably play and hour or two of the single and then play some multi or something like that. I actually haven't played a single player FPS for quite a while, so I'm looking forward to it.

nnnnnnnnnnggggh

so good

damn you all to hell. Perversely i don't have this because my xbox is at a friend's house waiting for him to hackz0r it, if i had it in my flat i'd have bought this and would be playing it now. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

any ps3ers having trouble getting trophies?

do any of you have jobs?!

I have a job, I'm lolbritish so I'm playing now and it is sick

I'm a lolstudent. I just came back at lunch to check out the MP before I return to the library but I got scolded for it! I won't be able to play the SP until the weekend and OH IT HURTS

I hgad a week's holiday I needed to use, fell at the right time - ie this and FM10, a winning (time-destroying) combination.

fancy men 10? is that a porno?

I think that's the UK title of MW2

25:9 you never lose it *blows on knuckles*

fm10 = football manager 2010, I spent the vast majority of Monday playing it.

I checked your stats earlier Coz, just before I bottled a bit of free for all and played spec ops instead (the sniper fi level is a hell of a lot of fun) level 8 within the hour? not bad at all.

enthusiasm for this game... waning, ha

this was all before my hueg tv tho.

tangos on your left

it's basically an expansion pack of cod4 but that's enough to refresh my enthusiasm for its MP: more new unlocks to gorge on

Just got this...
