Oxigen_Waste Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Hmm, my copy got shipped today... which means I'll probably have it by friday. Awesome!
Deathjam Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Godamnit. All I can do is pre load it on steam. Sucks to be a pc user.
Deathjam Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 So what if its early? Stats shall be wiped this early. They all use the Quake 3 engine. Superior to nearly all Unreal 3 Engine games amusingly it is a different matter capitalising on actual tech. Infinity Ward did a great job. It does look and feel dated in some respects obviously. Aspects like animation and lighting are quite dated. The scripted animation stuff is good but in gameplay you can see its very last gen. Level design is limited compared to many games now. I think they have done exceptionally well but it has the feel of an old pc game. Anyone here played MOH? Worth checking out quickly? Even if the stats got wiped, I would still like to play early. My point is that steam is almost taunting me, as I definitely need to wait till next tuesday before I can play this. Also, playing MW2 on the pc, I have to question how accurately one can say Infinity Ward did a good job. IWnet sucks like you would not believe and hackers run rampant. Really cant wait to move onto black ops.
James Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Anyone here played MOH? Worth checking out quickly? I heard it's a bag of shit.
Charlie Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Where's everyone buying this from then? Best I've seen so far is Tesco Entertainment at £34.99. Last year the supermarkets had a price war and Morrisons and Sainsbury's had it for £26, hoping for the same this year otherwise I might go to my local Blockbuster's midnight launch...
Aimless Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Rumour has it Sainsburys are going to repeat their £26 offer, although this time I'd expect it to be tied to a "Spend £xx in store" deal or some other stipulation. If you've a copy of Medal of Honor kicking around you'll be able to trade that that in at HMV and take Black Ops home for £7.99.
Oxigen_Waste Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 errrrrrm what? Who you order with Game. Got the mail confirming the shippin this morning. Maybe since I'm in Portugal they decided to ship earlier so I'd have it on release for sure, but it's never taken anything more than 3 days to get here, so I'm hoping friday!
Shorty Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Oh man, I really don't want to go and queue at 7am in Sainsburys again. I don't want to. But I probably will..
James Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Amazon at £40, hopefully if the supermarkets do a price war amazon will match it, or at least lower their price. They did last year, they have a price guarantee thing where if it is lower than when you ordered it they will refund the difference.
Shorty Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 It's £34.90 on Tesco Entertainment with code CODPreOrder-1, plus 8% Quidco. I just pre-ordered. I don't really care how fast I get it, I'm not getting up at 6am to go to Sainsburys again. I probably would if this was MW3 by IW, but....
Hero-of-Time Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Game. Got the mail confirming the shippin this morning. Maybe since I'm in Portugal they decided to ship earlier so I'd have it on release for sure, but it's never taken anything more than 3 days to get here, so I'm hoping friday! Mine got shipped on Wednesday from GAME but you get another email saying that although it has been shipped early the posties will be keeping a hold of it until release day.
Cube Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 They probably just want to get their money earlier. I got MW2 four days early. Everyone warned about resets/bans and it never happened.
Charlie Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 They probably just want to get their money earlier. I got MW2 four days early. Everyone warned about resets/bans and it never happened. They can't ban you for playing a game early. It's hardly your fault that it came early. Resets are fair enough if they want to but it's unlikely because the developers and testers will have been playing it for ages.
Ramar Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Anyone planning a supermarket midnight launch be prepared to queue. I heard last night we've already taken 500 pre-orders, rumours are our store should receive 3,000 copies of the game. Which is quite mental for a supermarket. I'd imagine the majority of people coming to launch won't have pre-ordered a copy either.
James Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Wait for mondays newspapers, there will be plenty of adverts from various super markets with cheap offers.
Oxigen_Waste Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 It came today... and nobody was home to get it. *isn't happy*
jayseven Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 I'm back-and-forth about this. I've not played MW2 for at least 6 weeks. I got very into it... and this time I want to be in the first wave of players experiencing the game freshly and fairly evenly... but my internet is shocking until 1am, and I'm trying to get out of that sort of routine. I guess I'll just wait 'til I move out and get my own net and get it cheaper again :'(
Wesley Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 I'm thinking of maybe picking this up for the single player and then quickly selling it...
Caris Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 No this is Caris not Dante. Trade-in Deals - GAME are doing Black Ops for half price when you trade in Halo Reach. (Unconfirmed) - HMV are doing Black Ops on 360 for £7.99 when you trade in Medal of Honor (360). - Tesco will be offering £24 for trading in Halo Reach. (See image on the right, click to zoom.) Supermarket and In-Store Prices Sainsbury's: £27.97 with £30 spend (a lot of sources - CONFIRMED, credit goes to annihilation from hotukdeals) Morrisons: £29.99 when bought with another chart game, £39.99 otherwise (1 source who has claimed to see the promotional material, but unconfirmed until there's proof) GAME: £24.99 when bought with any other chart 360/PS3 game or selected trade (confirmed, source) Gamestation: £24.99 when bought with selected titles. Best Buy: Doing £29.99 pre-orders here. Might be a good option considering the strong possibility that supermarket deals are dependant on buying with shopping.

(2 sources, unconfirmed) ASDA: £36.97 when bought alone, or £4.97 when you trade in Fable 3, Fallout New Vegas, or Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2. Confirmed, image source user "c4c" on hotukdeals.
McPhee Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 Sainsbury's it is for me then. Can't complain at Black Ops + £30 worth of shopping for £49.27 really (staff discount). Been off all week, just praying my store isn't one of the ones doing a midnight opening (right now I have literally no idea, just heard rumours that 200-odd stores will be ).
