flameboy Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 O_o That was amazing but sooooooooooo lucky.
dwarf Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 'That's bullshit.' Aha, nice vid. I'm going to be constantly trying that. Thing is do you not get deathcams unless it is replayed as the winning kill? And there's no match playback support is there?
LegoMan1031 Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 'That's bullshit.' Aha, nice vid. I'm going to be constantly trying that. Thing is do you not get deathcams unless it is replayed as the winning kill? And there's no match playback support is there? You only get kill cams, like it shows how you died but not how you killed someone. It only shows it to everyone as the kill that won the match. And ive not seen any match playback. But yeah that was so lucky with that kill!
gaggle64 Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Shepard was never with Makarov. Because he lost so many men before, he wanted a way to redeem himself. So he planted a spy in Makarov's group, knowing that Makarov would use it to his advantage to cause trouble (pinning the Airport Massacre on America). He also needed to kill Roach/Ghost because they would likely find out. So Shepard was the real villain, and Makarov was just a tool he used. But Shepard clearly doesn't care about his men because he spends most of the final level blowing them up to save himself, not to mention all the troops that would've been killed in the invasion he precipitated. And he's still a General clearly in charge of big things so any redemption he gets on the world stage is incredibly vague - he's obviously not trying to recover a career or anything. Also, if Makarov is just a gun for hire, why does he care at all about Zakaihev? It's repeatedly pointed out he's some kind super-merc and yet we still go to rescue Price to use as bait, presumably because of his role in Zakaihev's death. Is he an apolitical merc or a nationalist?
Emerald Emblem Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 My IRL friend has this on 360, I'm getting it on 360 for Christmas because of this and the fact I have a headset for my 360.
Ryan Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Does it have 4 player split screen offline? Thanks!
flameboy Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Ok getting better. My overall KDR has gotten worse but i think i have found setups that work. Got my first matches where i came top and had KDR of 2:1 with wins. Like using the Scar and UMP with the running perks. Amusingly in one Domination match. My team won but only one person had a positive KDR and just barely. The other team had huge KDR starting from 40:9 etc... but lost badly, really badly. They pretty much just camped the entire match. I prefer objectives but it seems like many people play other modes and just treat it like a camping version of team deathmatch. I also find that lag is much more sensitive in this game. If i dont have four full bars i am clearly at a disadvantage. So far i'd say its one of my contenders for GOTY. Single player is great. Multi is even better. Surprised some NE users arent playing this on PSN! We're not all made of money and can't afford every game day one!
gaggle64 Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Is it just me, or Americans basically red shirts in this game? Especially during the Task Force 141 missions, while the Brits (Soap, Roach, Ghost & Co) are busy getting it all done any US characters in the vicinity seem to be forever getting shot, blown up or generally abandoned to a grizzly death of one kind or another.
Bren Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Absolutely lovin this online, me and a few mates have been caining it quite a bit, i got up to 54 wins in a row, and then we just lost :'( gutted! Wasnt in to the end of the game tbh, it was a bit shit!! At least it leaves it open for another one. Did you hear how much the Activision CEO made, he sold 2 million stock, which WAS worth $1ish and is now worth $10ish, 20 million in a week :|:|:|:|:| Fucker
gmac Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 well it's hardly $20 million in a week, he got the stock at the start of the decade, so about 9 years it took to make that
Emerald Emblem Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Does it have 4 player split screen offline? Thanks! Yes, it does support 4 player split screen offline. My friend got it at a midnight launch, played it with me a a few other friends, was epic. I killed him with a flash grenade. xD
stuwii Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 The story makes no sense, feels like a great film, but with a silly plot How the hell do the Russians invade from the air, nearly impossible. How on earth did that not start nuclear war. What on earth was that nuke in the middle of the game about, and how on earth did it take out a space station

Did you hear how much the Activision CEO made, he sold 2 million stock, which WAS worth $1ish and is now worth $10ish, 20 million in a week :|:|:|:|:| Fucker Yeah here it is: http://www.destructoid.com/bobby-kotick-is-20-million-richer-155021.phtml The "biggest launch in the history across all forms of entertainment", Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, made Activision's CEO much richer this week. Bobby Kotick sold two million Activision stock options he's held since 2000. At that time, they were worth about $1.03. Today, Activision stock is worth just under $12 a share. Minus the $2 million strike price, Bobby Kotick made over $20 million in just three days. GameSpot goes on to point out that the CEO still owns over 3 million shares, which, as of right now, are worth over $35 million. Plus, let's not forget the $14.95 million compensation package Kotick earned on top of his regular figure in 2008. Needless to say, Bobby Kotick is a very rich man. Well, richer man now. Loads richer.
Ryan Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Yes, it does support 4 player split screen offline. My friend got it at a midnight launch, played it with me a a few other friends, was epic. I killed him with a flash grenade. xD Cheers mate. Sole reason I bought this game, really.
Babooo Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 Awesome! I didn't know you could do offline 4 player split screen! Nice lil feature to have! Getting into the online mode a bit more....i love the scar gun....i'm only on lv8 though!
Caris Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 I take back everything I said about this game, it's awesome.
James Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 lol what the fuck at that video, crazy. Maybe he shouldn't suck dick at games so much. anyone played much of the spec ops mode, some of the game modes are ace, Was doing the sniper one in the snow with a mate, we picked our targets I take left you take right, etc and then my mate would do a count down and we would make the kill Also the AC-130 gunship one is cool as well, one man on the ground trying to get to a safe house and the other controlling a gunner on a AC-130 gunship. Completely different view from being on the ground.
Beast Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 He don't know what he's talking about, Modern Warfare 2 rocks! That's Villa fans for you, crazy! Just kidding, of course, hehe.
Ganepark32 Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 Ok people, some advice is needed. Trying to get the achievement on the Cliffhanger level for placing the C4 without alerting or injuring anyone, seeing as I didn't get it playing through the campaign. Tried three times, first time I only injured one of the guards near the start so guess that screwed it up, second time I alerted but kill a guard in one of the huts but think it still counted and third time I went through without alerting any of the guards, knifing the ones I had to get passed and planted the C4 no problem. Didn't get the achievement. So how am I supposed to actually do it? Am I supposed to just sneak through the blizzard without killed any of the guards?
gaggle64 Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 The story makes no sense, feels like a great film, but with a silly plot How the hell do the Russians invade from the air, nearly impossible. How on earth did that not start nuclear war. What on earth was that nuke in the middle of the game about, and how on earth did it take out a space station I think that's what the ACS module was all about - you and Soap retrieve it from the Russians, and then later during the invasion cutscene the controller talks about scanning for a possible fault in their ACS module. While bogeys appear to be on radar in the west, the Russians actually invade from the East. Obviously the Ruskies hacked it and used it to bypass and confuse the US defences.

YOU can't injure them but the guy you're with at the start can. Don't shoot them, just look at them and the guy will shoot them for you but be careful because when you look at one of them to shoot them, all of them become alerted. This should unlock.
Nintendohnut Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 Played for a few hours last night with my flatmate on Special Ops mode. It's pretty swanky, and good fun, but I can't help but feel let down that we can't do 2 player co-op campaign. It would have made the game so much better for me. Still, enjoyable, and will probably spend all of today also playing.
