flameboy Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Won't be buying my 360 until next month. I don't know if I should chance getting the gimped PC version or hold out a while. Oh and flamey that thing you did with the nvg's almost left me with a tea soaked laptop. Hilarious. thanks very much! please rate it and comment
Cube Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Well, I just completed it on Veteran. Luckily, there's no mission as hard as No Fighting In The War Room. I personally think that while a bit easier than CoD4, Veteran in this is a bit more balanced. As for the campaign, it feels kind of like a film trailer, as in it's pretty much all great bits. Sometimes it's hard to listen to the story when you're in the middle of a fight. They managed to pull off America getting attacked by the Russians really well, as part of a retaliation of the Airport attack. There were also a few more twists I didn't expect: the story is much more interesting this time round. The levels are also much more involving and locations are more varied. They also break up the action packed levels with some slower paced parts (unlike the one level they had in CoD4). Taking over the Whitehouse oddly didn't feel too American and seemed justified. I also liked the small touches with the red dot sight during the EMP section. I'm actually really glad that the only levels I knew about were the snow level (reminded me of TimeSplitters with the Heartbeat Sensor) and the Airport. Now I can focus on the Special Ops and Online.
Ten10 Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 thanks very much! please rate it and comment Done and done. Thinking I might hold off this one for a while. Considering I haven't even played the first. I think going back to COD4 after this may end up feeling like a step back.
The-Ironflame Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) Won't be buying my 360 until next month. I don't know if I should chance getting the gimped PC version or hold out a while. Oh and flamey that thing you did with the nvg's almost left me with a tea soaked laptop. Hilarious. The PC version is locked at 6v6 for TDM, 9v9 for Ground War which is terrible for a PC game in this day and age, even though I can't stand more than 24 players in the recent Call of Duty's. It just goes to show the limitations of IWNet and P2P online gaming. But still you get smoother controls and better looking graphics if you have the hardware otherwise there's not much difference other than perhaps the community.

Bren Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 :D :D :D The queue in ASDA was insane, luckily they had a seperate counter for pre-orders, easy 200-300 people in their though, was mad. WOOO GOO GOO GOOO
Babooo Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Jus came back from my pub crawl and a visit to a 24hr asda....got the game for 32.99 and did my grocery shopping for the week too!

dazzybee Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Anyone know how much the game is in tesco? Blockbuster? Sainsburys is sold out
Shorty Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Someone mentioned £26 in Tesco but the last I heard was £25 when you buy any other chart game. They may have dropped it to match Sainsbury's though (ring them and ask). I just queued for ages to get me (and Dan) a copy from Sainsbury's But I can't play it til I get home at 6!
Daft Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Just went to Sainsburys. They annoyingly sold out the PS3 version but not the 360. Unless I cave, I'll give this a miss. Assassin's Creed 2 and God of War out next week.
LegoMan1031 Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) Mine arrived by courier bout 15 mins ago via UKMail! I'm now installing it to HDD! EDIT: Ive also entered the code for CoD Classic, thats downloading now but will prob be awhile before i play on it! 1.24GB on the 360 for those who want to know (would assume PS3 will be similar).

dazzybee Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Just got it from morrisons for £25.99. Bargain. They had shit loads left and the place was deserted. Don't think anyone knows Do I go to work or play this all day!?!? Hmmm. To be honest, I'm not actually that bothered about it, I just shamefully bought into the hype and I can't resist a bargain!
Daft Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Just picked this up £26.99 from Morrisons. They haven't advertised it at all so if Sainsburys is sold out you have a good chance with Morrisions. It looked like they sold barely any from what I saw.
Zechs Merquise Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I got it both Modern Warfare on Wii and MW2 on 360 for £54.70 so I was pretty happy with that. MW2 was £25 because I brought the two together.

Sneaky Morrisons ey! I will have to let my friends know to check out our local Morrisons if they are still after a copy. Thanks for the heads up.
Daft Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) Anyone on the PS3 version not showing trophies? Edit: Didn't realise you had to get a trophy to read through them. My bad. Edited November 10, 2009 by Daft
Beast Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) 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. Edited November 10, 2009 by Animal
LegoMan1031 Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Sorry to hear you had a hard time with that DudeDaz, Least u got the game ey? Trouble is that it is ASDA's policy now like how most places have 21 for alcahol. The trouble from the casiers point of view is if they don't follow what they are told they get fucked for it and as you said the security guard looked like he thought it was stupid and so do most of the staff! lol I get asked more for ID now (i'm 21)for things than when i was 16 and got away with it!!! lol By the sounds of it though they could of handled it alot better, like a staff member going through the que just letting ppl know they will probably need ID rather than you waiting all that time to get to the till!!
Shorty Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 It's 25 pretty much everywhere now, you're supposed to question it if they look under 25. (There tends to be posters by counters etc). I got ID'd too - I'm 22 although I do look younger. And since I'd posted off my Driver's License to get the address changed, lucky that I took my passport! If their manager was right there, they probably didn't want to get in trouble. As lame and annoying as it is, to play devil's advocate a bit: if they had given you it and you weren't old enough and a family member or something had complained, they would've lost their job just like that. Glad you got the game in the end though.

Yeah, that's all I'm trying to think about but I think it's disgusting that no-one said to anyone that you need to look over 25 to buy the game and that you'd need ID. It's seriously fucked up how they made us wait in what's possibly the biggest and longest queue I've ever stood in to not get nothing at the end of it! Even the guys in the queue were like "That's disgusting, he's been waiting there for ages." and stuff like that. The manager didn't even looked bothered whatsoever, she could have easily sold it to me. Honestly, I'm not buying anything from Asda again, it was honestly the most ridiculous thing I've ever been through. Never queuing up for a game like that EVER AGAIN! I woke up this morning with cramp in my legs. But the game was so frickin' awesome! Edited November 10, 2009 by Animal
LegoMan1031 Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 But the game was so frickin' awesome! Just concontrate on that thought!! lol btw what console u got it on?
Beast Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Just concontrate on that thought!! lol btw what console u got it on? I have it on the 360! Bit pissed because my internet connection is shite but at least I can play Campaign!
LegoMan1031 Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I have it on the 360! Bit pissed because my internet connection is shite but at least I can play Campaign! I realised after i posed that they u did say that in ur little story above! opps Anyway feel free to add me then on 360 if u want. Get ur internet sorted coz u NEED to play this game online! (Ive not tried it yet but im assuming its awsome!
Daft Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Played some of the campaign and played some of the online. After playing Killzone I have to say, the online looks butt ugly. Like really, balls. I love how it plays however. Love that little noise it makes when you get someone. The campaign is okay. I loved it. Mowed down everyone. I was really annoyed I couldn't run, I wanted to get the ones that were trying to get away.
Dan_Dare Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 gonna be twitching like an MDMA fiend in anticipation for this by 5. fnnaarrgh.
