gaggle64 Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) After sampling both campaign and online modes, I may go as far to suggest that this sequel knocks it's fore bare into a cocked hat - no scratch that, it's knocks it into a gigantic 30ft high stovepipe constructed entirely of twisted, writhing phalli, a pulsating, throbbing construct of skin stretched taut over pounding blood vessels that towers above you, shapely domes glinting in the orange sunrise. I will now retire for lunch, and consider my opinion further. Edited November 10, 2009 by gaggle64
James Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 gonna be twitching like an MDMA fiend in anticipation for this by 5. fnnaarrgh. Atleast you got a copy in hand, no one was at home to await the delivery and now I have to wade through the rush hour traffic after work, mega balls!!!!!!!!
flameboy Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Have I got a story to tell YOU guys! ---- Basically me, my cousin and my dad went to Asda Minworth to buy the game. We got there at 11pm and the queue was already insane but we were inside the warmth so we were okay. The game started selling at 1 past midnight and every 5-10 minutes, we'd move 5 steps forward. It was 1am and the queue stopped for a while, it was ridiculous. I sent my cousin to the front to see what was going on and there were only 3 people serving, it was incredibly stupid. It's half 1 now. My legs were aching, my eyes bloodshot like everyone elses. My dad got a copy from the bloke and the woman called me forward. I asked for a XBox 360 copy of the game and she said: "I need ID?" I said "Huh?" "I need ID to prove you can buy this game because you don't look like you're over 25." Unfortunately for me, I forgot my ID and said "I'm 19 years old." She said "But you don't look 25." My Dad said "He's my son, he's 19. He has a beard!" and even the security guard gave us a look like 'I know, it's ridiculous'. She said "If you can prove you're 18, you can buy the game but if you can't, you need to look over 25." I said "Where on the box does it say '25'? Nowhere! Because it says '18'. I'm 19." She says to me. "It's Asda policy." I said "You mean to tell me I've been queuing for almost three and a half hours to get turned down." She said "You're welcome to get your ID, come back and queue up again." My Dad said "That's ridiculous, I'd like to speak to your manager." Then a bloke behind the counter piped up and said "Sorry, the manager don't deal with the cashier problems." even though the manager blatantly stood there in front of us. Me and my Dad just said it was seriously ridiculous and went. There was no need for it, she could have served us like the bloke was serving those 16 year olds I'm sure (and they DO look 16 btw). We got another copy from Blockbusters with no problems whatsoever. They didn't ask for ID or nothing. That was the first time ever that I've had that problem. How ridiculous is it that you have to look over 25 to buy an 18 rated game but if you prove you're 18 you can buy it? Stupid! Why can't I look 18 and buy the game like normal? I've gotten the Saw movies and things like that from there before with no problems at all. She could have just sold it to me without causing all of that. The manager didn't even look bothered at all. All of it was seriously stupid. No need for it whatsoever. I thought that rule applied to booze to which I'd say fair enough but to be waiting in a queue for over 3 hours and get turned down?! ...but anyway, went to Blockbusters, straight in and straight out with no hassle. Rushed home and BEST. GAME. EVER! Love it! The graphics look immensly real life and the gameplay is awesome. That is the policy for a lot of age restricted products these days!
gaggle64 Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Yep. If somebody sells you an age restricted product and there's even a chance you're under 18, they can loose their job, be fined, get a criminal record, loose their store's license to sell age restricted products and get butt raped by angry gargoyles. Truefact.
MATtheHAT Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Those with the PS3 version, the patch has fucked the Trophy system up. The Trophies won't unlock with the patch installed. So basically, if you want to unlock Trophies, you have to sign out of PSN and delete the patch.......fuckin retarded. I don't know if this is affecting everyone, but after googling it, there are a lot of complaints about it.
Babooo Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Just done the first 2 missions so far....love it! Gonna try and finish the campaign mode soon so I can make a start on the online babY!
Bren Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Enjoy the third Best mission in a game ever :P
Hero-of-Time Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Im having a blast doing the Special Ops mode on Veteran. Me and my mate did one mission where you have to kill so many terrorists, was just like the good old days of Rainbow Six doing the T-Hunt missions. Im still disappointed that its not 4 player co-op though
LegoMan1031 Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 hmm, im yet to try special ops or online, just blasting through the single player atm! How about us 360 owners all meet up online at some point to kick some arse??!

I didn't get the trophies for the first three missions but then I got one for getting one star on special ops and the Trophies work now. Had to redo the first three missions for them but didn't take long.
Daft Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 This game is an absolute sausage fest. You'd have thought there might be some female soldiers...somewhere. How utterly dumb.
Babooo Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Enjoy the third Best mission in a game ever :P just finished it
Caris Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Played a few levels, pretty disappointed so far. Graphics are not that good at all, I'm gonna keep playing. Hopefully I'll get into it more but as it stands it's defiantly not GOTY for me. Although the "controversial" level was excellent.
Daft Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Yeah, I wouldn't say it was even close to GOTY. It's amazingly solid (obviously the online is pretty outstanding) but it's not anything special as a whole imo. Definitely a crap load of fun.

Daft Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I've just played through the entire campaign and didn't unlock a single Trophy Once it starts unlocking it should be fine.
Bren Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) This game is an absolute sausage fest. You'd have thought there might be some female soldiers...somewhere. How utterly dumb. Women dont fight on the frontline/SAS, turns men into pussys when they get hurt... There are plenty of women to shoot down in the airport. Edited November 10, 2009 by Bren

All of it was seriously stupid. No need for it whatsoever. I thought that rule applied to booze to which I'd say fair enough but to be waiting in a queue for over 3 hours and get turned down?! To be fair, not really that ridiculous at all. Kids are looking increasingly older than their age these days, especially the females. You should have brought your id or just got it the next day. The tabloid media slams the game industry for content in games where equivalent or more extreme content in appropriately rated DVD's would go unnoticed. A big reason for that is the perception held by the masses that games are for kids. The amount of times I've seen a granny buy an 18 rated game like GTA for their 12 year old relative is insane and it's usually just down to ignorance. It's a GAME. GAMES are for CHILDREN. Likewise, retailers are to blame as for years a kid could just walk into a store, buy a 15/18 rated game and come out again (although that is much better nowadays.) The only way for the press to lay off gaming a bit and to respect the industry is not to censor but to stop making it so easy for kids to get these violent games. And that means educating granny and for the retailers to pay more careful attention to whom they sell games to. Back on topic, so hyped about this and I don't even know why! Didn't think THAT much of the first one. It was 'alright' but that's where it ended for me. I just want it soooo badly. Only have £30 to last me to next Friday though and I'm running low on petrol... So probably shouldn't get it.. but.... hmm!
flameboy Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Well was in Sainsburys earlier....and they had sold out. GAME have just emailed me a £5 voucher code in apology for an earlier muck up, so could get it from there come friday when I'm paid!
S.C.G Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I just got home from work to find my copy of the game, Hardened Edition fuck yeah! gonna go play it now, obv...
Babooo Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I gotta agree that campaign mode isn't that great.....its fun yes, but I think its cos I love online so much that I feel this.
Ganepark32 Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Bought at 8am this morning, I had to wait till 4pm to play it. So have managed to get the first couple of levels in on the campaign on Veteran and I'm guessing it can't just be me, but is it not easier on veteran than the first one was? Seems like it to me. Still, it's enjoyable so far, although the snow level has been the best of it and the Airport scene... yeh I see the controversy but it was nowhere near as bad as some people have made out. Unless I've only played one of the Airport scenes and theres another to come but I doubt it. Has taken a bit to get back into the Call of Duty frame of mind as it's been 10 months since I played one of the games but I'm managing the campaign pretty smoothly so far. Online, well my online gaming as of recent has been Halo 3 and Uncharted 2 so that hasn't helped. Not done particularly great in the matches I've played, even though I've managed to get my rank up in both of them. I guess it'll just take some getting used to the maps and the weapons and those new killstreak things. The gunships aren't a problem but it's some of the other things like the guided missile drops. Will have to stick in quite a bit of time into the online because I know that by the weekend, team deathmatch is going to be a nightmare with all of the killstreak bonuses and if you don't have them then I see it as being a bloodfest.

This is what sucks. They should do a time release thing where after a couple months more perks open up to everyone.
