So who got this?

Ordered mine online and hasn't arrived yet, typical

Impressions?

[Stormtrooper X]

Finished the story mode. However I didn't get any trophies. Has anyone else experienced this?

[tryptifaeris]

I think there's a 1.02 patch for that.

[Reality]

got it monday night at the midnight release. My cable company was having intermittent problems in my HUB so the internet was down (great timing) the first night and into tuesday afternoon. Played some Campaign and now deep into multiplayer. I love it so far. Still trying to get as comfortable with it as I am with MW1.

[Exodus]

same ^

I've gotten all the way through Cliffhanger on Veteran difficulty and obtained all intel up to that point.

Liking the multiplayer a whole lot too.

They reckon up to 1 million people could have been banned but typically M$ aren't giving out figures.

[Boba Sweat]

yeah. about 4 guys i work with all had theirs done as well and i'm the only one thats been banned so far. not a happy camper

but COD's awesome offline anyway
although a abit easier than the others. been playing it on veteran and must be well past the halfway point. on the snow level just after the battle at the washington monument. dont get me wrong, it's not easy. but i couldbnt get past the 2nd level on WaW on vet!

[Stormtrooper X]

Is anyone using a ps3 experiencing long waits to just connect to the servers?

[Durty D]

Nope, speedy as, for me.

Went out and bought another copy cos my online order still hasn't arrived - preorder bull****!

I was earlier but now it's working better for me.

[Stormtrooper X]

It just stays on online status for me trying to connect. My connection is fine and fast. Ever since the update to fix the trophies I haven't been able to play online

[Boba Sweat]

100%'d the campaign. Finished on veteran with all intel.

Having problems getting a few achievements tho. Mainly doing the pitt in under 30 secs. (dont believe thats possible)
10 akimbo kills. (shot about 25 in a row on the whitehouse level and never got it)
And 20 vechile kills. Again on the snowmobile i lost count of how ,any o blew up it it was more than 20!

[Exodus]

I got akimbo easily on the level where you rescue Price, and got The Pitt by hitting every terrorist target. Try switching weapons at the beginning until you've got a comfortable combo - unload the first and switch to the second without reloading. It took me about a dozen tries, and it seems you have to hit all terrorist targets to knock off enough time at the end to get the right score.

[Gog]

Borrowed the game from my friend today. Beat the campaign in a little over 5 hours. The game was phenomenal as far as graphics, gameplay, story, acting. It really felt like a cinematic experience. I'm assuming the part they warned us about was the airplane scene. It seemed they toned down the graphics in this part to make it seem a little less realistic. In any case, I found it unnecessary & a waste of time. They could have showed a cinematic of what happened.

The bottom line however is I'm glad I didn't spend $60 on the game as it was far too short. I could care less about the multi-player or the spec-ops parts. I enjoyed it a lot & would play through it again, but far to short for the price tag. 5 hours to beat the campaign is inexcusable.

[Stormtrooper X]

So the online doesn't grab you? I'm on my second play through. Connecting online has been an issue for me as it can take half an hour just to get online. Not sure why, when my 360 connects fine.

[Treq]

Good online game. Single player is style over substance, and the story is bobbins.

[Gog]

No, the online doesn't grab me. There's nothing new in any online game. FPS are all the same online. I could play Battlefield 1942 & get the same experience I get playing CoD:MW2 online. The game may be the best looking game I've ever seen. I don't know if it looks different on the 360, but on the PS3 it's amazing. The Washington, DC part is incredible. But, if I had paid $60 for it, I would have been highly disappointed in it. Next game to beat will be Assassin's Creed 2. I'm sure that will give me much more than 5 hours of fun.

[Durty D]

I'm not getting much time on this as we only have one televsion and my housemates are glued to it 24/7 with crap soap operas and the like.

I just did the Fevala mission. Honestly, I know Brazil has a big underbelly but would there really be that many enemies in a small block like that?

Ah I do not miss living with roommates.

[Exodus]

I'll be starting the final mission tomorrow. I've got all intel and have been playing on veteran and wow - it has been a ride and a half.

[Boba Sweat]

yeah, playing on vet is a blast.
there were many many many tantrums, but i also got alot more gameplay out of it

i'm actually tempted to pick up the 1st modern warfare again and blast through it on vet

[Exodus]

Try World at War on veteran...now that was difficult!

[CF]

Between this and Dragon Age, what would you all recommend? And is it better on the PS3 or the 360?

depends what you like. if you want some quick carnage then mw2
if you want a big absorbing rpg then DA

2 very very different games

both awesome in their own way

The television station is controller busting difficult on Veteran. I'd almost made it through the lower level, when a guy I didn't see jumped up from behind a back office window and blasted me. It'll be awhile before I go back to playing that level on Vet.

[Rock]

I bought it last week, but played it for the first time just now.

It rocks, but I suck. lol. I need much, much practice.

[Rock]

Ok, I'm getting better. I killed someone.

[Darth Irish]

Got it too. Trying to get through it myself. Will tke some time.

[Rock]

I played all day today. My gamertag thingy is Rock65x

I'm getting better, though. I can usually get 5-8 kills in a game.

[Exodus]

I'll add you. I need to delete a few people off my list though.

Got a mic?

[Boba Sweat]

i'll be on the ps3 with it from tomorrow

i'll pwn you all

Oh no! The online experience isn't quite that straight forward; it's sort of like having an RPG character, in that you level up your weapons and gear with the experience you acquire. You can create a ton of different load out options with all of the perks and weapons builds you open up with experience.

[Treq]

Gamevet is right in a sense, although I would argue that EXP makes no difference to your game at all. You can be the worst player ever and you still get EXP to level despite how rubbish you are. EXP and level makes no difference to how the game sorts you into teams etc, you could be playing people of extremely high level while you are level 1 for example. All it means is that you have put in the hours, its not a barometer of talent or skill.

Also, whilst unlocking guns is fun, the guns unlocked at higher levels are not actually necessarily better than the guns you already have, and in some cases are a lot worse.

Perks do make a difference, but again I would argue not much of one. Perks and Killstreaks add some variety, but it's still a samey experience overall. And this is coming from someone who has logged a lot of hours with the game. and likes it for the most part.

[Exodus]

Well, I have unlocked some better guns over time. The two base snipers on MW2, the intervention and the .50 cal, are serviceable. Once you get to a certain point, you get an obscenely better sniper called the WA2000 that has increased power and rate of fire over the other two.

I've got two base classes that I primarily use at the moment - 1) WA2000 (blinged w/ heart beat sensor and thermal scope) and dual M93 Rafficas (blinged w/ Akimbo, of course, and with FMJ bullet penetration), 2) AUG HBAR (blinged w/ grip and heart beat sensor) and AT4 rocket launcher. My perks on both of those classes are of course Bling, Cold Blooded, and Ninja Pro. My killstreak rewards for both are UAV (3), helicoptor (7), and AC130 (11). My death perk on both classes is Final Stand.

[Chaos_Effect]

I'm a huge fan of the heartbeat sensor right now.

[Exodus]

Wow...just unlocked the ACR tonight, and bumped it up to the point where I'm running with a heart beat sensor on there. It's an amazing weapon

[Ashaman]

Loved the game and hated it at the same time. I bought it late Saturday afternoon and beat it Sunday night on Vet... and that was with little more than playing for an hour or 2 at a time 4 times. 8 Friggin hours of main storyline and a storyline that has tons of loose ends. Too much like Halo 2 for me, but still loved it all the way through.

Been doing the online, and I just need to get to the point where I can get cold blooded and ninja as perks. I mainly get picked off by the heatbeat sensor and thermal.

[Rock]

I just had 11 kills in one game! That's my all-time high.

Domination is my game. Lovin' it.


OH, AND I HATE HARRIER FIRE AND THERMAL SNIPERS.

[Rock]

Just bought a bluetooth headset! I'll be playing domination in 20 minutes if anyone wants to hit me up. Rock65x

We should do a Nightly clan tag. N.N or something.
