Caris Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 As long as you have random white people arguing with black people I'm happy.
S.C.G Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Online really does feel dull without party chat. The hell? can't you use Party Chat with MW2 for some reason? It's supposed to work with all games...
LegoMan1031 Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 The hell? can't you use Party Chat with MW2 for some reason? It's supposed to work with all games... Certain playlists it has been disabled. Apparantly it's to stop 'cheaters' working with each other on different teams.

James Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Oh hello Sainsbo's, shame I dont have one where I live. Come on Asda and Tesco

ViPeR Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Probably going to pick this up at work, rumour is it'll be around £25-£30 which is cool. I'd pay £35 to be honest because that's standard price. Interested to see how these death/kill streaks work. Hopefully stop it from becoming Call of Duty: Modern Sniper 2.
S.C.G Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 (edited) Certain playlists it has been disabled. Apparantly it's to stop 'cheaters' working with each other on different teams. Oh... well that's kinda fail, I mean I can see it's for 'the good of the game' etc but it is still only a game and generally all games have Party Chat so for this to not have it for parts of the game kind of sucks really, plus there is nothing to stop people using private chat instead if they were really determined to 'cheat' right? Anyway... I'm sure it won't 'kill' the game for me but alas it is annoying as I'd just started using party chat more regularly. In other news I actually only just finished the original MW last night! I really enjoyed it though and I now see what I've been 'missing out' on... as far as the multiplayer goes though, it's good... but... Idk... there just doesn't seem to be much incentive to play apart from ranks, which is a good system but maybe a few online achievements wouldn't have hurt, but then again the better ones to get are single player achievements I guess, I'm not knocking the online multiplayer but I just don't feel that I've missed out so much on that as I had with the single player.

Dan_Dare Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 It's funny how play is now valued by how many achievements you can get out of it. What happened to playing to play?
flameboy Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 I'm still weighing this up....there are a few other recent releases that I've missed which I am thinking about picking up instead...I really am not that into multiplayer gaming and whilst I did say a few days ago my interest was there because of the stuff its trying to do with single player im not sure its enough to warrant it... Yes I will admit my boycott is somewhat abaited by the rumours that supermarkets are gonna get it out at reasonable price, if they wanna sell it at a lose more fool them, although I do suppose that means give money to activision urgh...I should stick by my views and not get caught up in hype.

Arguably the biggest draw for this game is the Multiplayer. By all accounts the single player is very short again, brilliant, but short. So if you were to buy it just for the single player, you may feel a little short changed. It may be worth renting, or waiting for a used/discounted copy?

Only reason I'm not that draw to multiplayer is because I am not usually all that good at them...although I'm alright at Uncharted 2
MATtheHAT Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Only reason I'm not that draw to multiplayer is because I am not usually all that good at them...although I'm alright at Uncharted 2 I'll admit, I am a massive CoD fanboy, so my opinion is probably biased. But I really think the Call of Duty multiplayer is the best you can get. CoD4 was/is fantastic, but not very accessable. Being dropped into a game full of uber-leets who have been playing the game constantly since day 1, and instantly getting pwned, is no fun. It seems Modern Warfare 2 has addressed that, with deathstreaks, which reward the not-so-leet player with an advantage should they be struggling. Buy it, then if you find it really is not for you, sell it on ebay/trade it in.
S.C.G Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 It's funny how play is now valued by how many achievements you can get out of it. What happened to playing to play? Well... as an online game it is fun to play, huge fun at times, though it can be annoying too, it's just that sometimes it's nice to have a handful of online achievements to go for that's all.
Dan_Dare Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Re: Multiplayer definitely the big draw for me. I know I'll love the SP too, but there's no mistaking this as a MP focused package. For me, that makes it good value. For anyone not interested though, it's much harder to recommend a purchase. Always prefered Halo 3 online to CoD4 myself but I'm definitely going to push a few hours in to this for a change of pace. Especially withe the Edge forum about to go nuclear for it.
James Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 To be honest, I quite liked the fact they didn't add achievements in the multiplayer, there usually a piece of shit, like shoot a ranked player 100 times in the knee. Oh and its double points for those wanting to go top prestige on COD4, for those not in the know.
MATtheHAT Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Oh and its double points for those wanting to go top prestige on COD4, for those not in the know. Been there, done that. Whats the top prestige for MW2? I have heard its 15 with 75 ranks in between prestiges?
James Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Not sure what top prestige is, but apparently once its reached there are awards in store for those who do, but your right. it is 75 ranks.

martinist Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 gaggle64: Even if you're not interested in the multiplayer, if the campaign is even half as good as the 1st game I'm positive it'll stand up well under repeated playthroughs. You'll get your money's worth at any rate.
Guest Stefkov Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Yeah I hate achievements/trophies in multiplayer as you tend to have to grind for them. Ah this I agree with. I used to like playing for achievements online but when they started to get stupid like Seriously 2.0 that's when I figured what's the point anymore. I was really glad MW only had achievements in single player, meant I could play it a few times getting them whilst enjoying it because the game was so good. I'm glad the second game is the same.

S.C.G Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 I just think it'd maybe be nice to have one big online achievement for getting the highest rank or something... Idk, it doesn't bother me that much though... either way I'm looking forward to playing this.
Bren Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Its been confirmed at £32 in ASDA by a newspaper screenshot, WOOO! Thats cheap enough for me, the nearest Sainsburys is easily £5 petrol away so the £26 they're "meant" to be doing at isnt much use. As long as i get it under £40 ill be happy
Hero-of-Time Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Alot of people who ordered from GAME are getting their copies this morning. I've just checked my Parcel Force code and it says it reached Newcastle depot this morning and now its out getting delivered.
