dazzybee Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) Only played the first 4 levels - really struggled with level 4. It's exciting, but I'm not THAT impressed to say it's game fo the year or anything. And I personally didn't like the airport level, it just felt so childish. A game that is supposed to be so realistic and brutal, resorted to Brain Dead-esque violence; I wasn't offended, I just found it ridiculous and little desperate on the developers part. But the rest of the level was fun. Haven't tried anything else as promised someone I'd go to the cinema - gutted, as I wanted to continue and I ended up watching a truly, truly, truly atrocious film (men who stare at goats). Looking forward to conituing though. My CoD multiplayer greviences seem to be in full force though - those sill perks and power you get the better you are. I simply do no not understand the concept that the better you get at the game, the more powerful it makes you. Bizarre design decision, but I seem to be the only who has a problem with it, so I'm either missing the point or I just need to play it more to power up and not be bothered. MATtheHAT. Yeah, I aint getting any trophies either. My housemate is playing through on the 360 version and has got loads, I was feeling a little inadequate that I hadn't got any!! When's it going to be fixed? Also really annoying that I'll have to do everything again. I killed 30 people with one bullet too!! Never going to get that one again!! Edited November 11, 2009 by dazzybee
The Lillster Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 When I started killing the civilians in the airport level, I felt guilty and a little sad for them, but at the same time I felt I HAD to kill them. There were no survivors!
MATtheHAT Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Apparently, there's a patch ready for the Trophy thing according to one of the devs posting on gaf, its just going through the Sony QA thing or something. Regards the Airport level, its the main turning point of the story and is the reason America gets invaded. So its definitely relevent.

Also really annoying that I'll have to do everything again. I killed 30 people with one bullet too!! Never going to get that one again!! Yeah, I pretty much completely agree with you. I do think the airport level could have been done much better but it reeks of intended controversy. (I thought the absurdity of it was hysterically funny so in actuality I thought it was a lot of fun ) The perk thing is weird and I don't like it. That's why I'm pushing on now with the online to get perks along with everyone else otherwise it becomes a real chore (part of the reason I never got into the MW online, and KillZone 2 to a lesser extend, missed the boat on that). Like I said, after some time I think perks should just unlock for everyone. The trophy thing is weird. It wasn't working for me and then as soon as I got one (the Special Op first star one) the rest started working and it's been fine since. Stupid, stupid bug though. I think the levels set in American suburbia are awful. They are so damn dull.

There were no survivors! Why does everyone have such an issue with this part of the game? Its a video game! Its not real! You're not really shooting civilians!
dazzybee Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Why does everyone have such an issue with this part of the game? Its a video game! Its not real! You're not really shooting civilians! Some people are just easily shocked I guess. The only problem I had was the sheer exess of it all. I will say though, that like most people, I just wouldn't shoot anyone at first, then I thought I'd "try it out". Yeah...couldn't stop me after that. It had moments of being quite affective, when you see people dragging their dying friend (I presume) and they get shot dead. Quite powerful, more so if there wasn't hundreds upon hundreds of them.
Daft Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 I just saw it as acting. I was really getting into slaughtering people. I they really wanted to get a message across they would have had a name for every NPC when you aimed at them. As it was, these people were fodder.
Caris Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Near the end, struggling to make myself finish it off. Biggest dissapoinet of 2009 for me, hope I get into the online.
McPhee Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 6/10 on the single player game. Good, but the story is pretty crap compared to the first, the quality of the levels isn't as good and a few are very frustrating. Overall I enjoyed it, but Batman: AA remains my GOTY. Tomorrow night I'll give Spec Ops a try I think before grabbing a Live sub and having a blast at the multiplayer. So far I'd say it wasn't bad for £22 but I wouldn't have paid full-whack for it (so pretty much as expected really).

Oh sorry, forgot to put I also enjoyed it, in an evil, twisted kind of way. I have no issues with the game or that level. Just expressing how I feel.
Retro_Link Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 *spoilers in review, as per usual*9.5 at gametrailers: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-hd-modern-warfare/58370 Based on their comments throughout that video, 9.5 seems too high a score.
Babooo Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Can't find this anywhere for this weekend my mate's having similar problems!
Hero-of-Time Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) I finished off veteran difficulty this morning and it was a stroll in the park compared to CoD 2,4 and WAW. With the lack of respawning enemies the game becomes very easy if you just take your time and pick off your targets. Special Ops is where the challenge is now, some of the levels on that mode are brutal on the veteran difficulty. With it being co-op though it makes it far more easier to just have that one more attempt Edited November 11, 2009 by Hero-of-Time
chrizkerr2 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Managed to find one today! Got it from Costco for £31.58 Last one they had instock though, so I was pretty relieved
Karl619 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 The airport section seems to me like its controversial for controversy sake. It was oddly empowering though, I liked the slow motion stroll through the airport; it made something horrfic casual. Personally I'm not offended by it but if I had a relative who died as the result of an aiport massacre then I probably would lol As for the issue of the better players being empowered online, well surely they deserve to have kick ass perks . I think the multiplayer is perhaps more balanced this time. If you do suck then its up to you to improve!
Babooo Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Just finished the campain mode and clocked in at just under 6 hours. Very short I must say, but not really surprised. Multiplayer is where its at! Oh and Sepc ops....need to try that with my flat mate!
Hero-of-Time Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 MW2 smashes GTAIV record. According to official GfK-ChartTrack numbers obtained by MCV, the title sold 1,230,588 copies in 24 hours – smashing the previous record set by Rockstar's 2007 release. The number represents close to one in 24 UK homes. The news puts MW2 easily on course to hit the 1.7 million sales forecast by MCV last month – and means it's already matched HMV's slightly more conservative estimate. Previous record was 609,000 units by GTAIV.
Cookyman Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 PS3 owners -Trophy patch is now live. Tomorrow - yet another, this time to fix matchmaking on spec ops. Although they have got the patches out quickly - I find it ridiculous that one of the biggest releases of the year is so fucked up on launch. Really enjoying the game though.
LegoMan1031 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Just completed the story on Veteran! Anyone fancy doing some Special Ops missions with me? I would rather pair up from someone on here than some random person.
Daft Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 So this isn't working online after the 1.02 patch. Suck my balls Infinity Ward.
Mr-Paul Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 My brother has this at home, but I'm in London... quite interested to see what it's like but don't really wanna play the airport level... I quite like World at War, never played MW1. My best memories of CoD are of nazi zombies, i'd love it if they had russian terrorist zombies or something in this!
