I just got the game ordered on Amazon as I was away for a few days and didn't have chance to sort it beforehand.
So the reviews are in and it seems to be a hit (like there was ever any doubt), which is awesome. Although there are still lots of people crying about multiplayer and giving it 1 star user reviews (lol)
I heard that
It's the Russian army invading DC rather than the terrorists as I first thought
... can't wait to see how that turns out!
Quote from e-freakcrytek are nominated
":2b5vo6qj]never heard about it
lol.. looks like no one wanted HP at the party 
Call Of Duty: Vietnam
You know it makes sense 
I meant like proper 3D as in UP! and Toy Story 3...
My sister works at HMV and said they've got 200 copies of the game already, if only the public knew... 
Fucking Hell, people can bitch all they like about the multiplayer being "bad" but if anyone complains about the single-player experience then they need to die... that was fucking awesome!
America in flames, with sububurn houses blowing up all around... and COD in space?! Holy fuck! MW3 is going to have to be in 3D to beat this potential gem!
Still, I'm kinda dubious about what is trying to be achieved here... I mean with the terrorist section it's supposed to be all gritty and in-your-face and then you've got something that looks like it's from NOLF's
space
level... it kinda all feels a bit like a cross of the former title and Arma II...
But.. shit, I might even preorder this mother... worst music choice for the trailer though, would have got 10/10 if it wasn't for that annoying wigger grunting over the action.. ugh.
I've seen a bunch of rumors that I have been entertained by that Gaz somehow survived the previous game and is back in a different incarnation in this game
.
I don't remember him even dying in COD4, it's been ages since I played it... I bet you he's now

Quote from CorwinI personally will be buying the game as soon as I can save enough money for it, and that simply for the singleplayer campaign. I own MW but never actually played the multiplayer until a couple of weeks ago since all you guys were saying how great it is. It's pretty good, a bit confusing because of how much shit is going on at once, but nothing as good as the singleplayer IMO.Rarely have I encountered such high production values in a SP game. That's not to say it features the best story ever or even the most fun gameplay, but there's not a single part of it that I found frustrating, it's beautiful, there's lots of multiple different types of gameplay, and the attention to detail is incredible. It's also one of the only SP games that made me really feel like being part of a team, not a single wastelander against the whole world.
Agreed, not interested in MP games anymore myself so it's SP all the way.
I especially loved the briefing screens during loading pauses, so you're not sitting there staring at a boring screen with a picture and "Loading" on it, glad to see there's no change there in MW2 from footage I saw
I just noticed this btw, special edition on PS3 and Xbox with COD1 on consoles for the first time;

£70?! 
I can use anything you like, but then I shit bricks when someone wants my attention or I try to talk D:
Hello everyone welcome to Mapcore chat online!
SPECIAL HELLO TO ZYMDROME... HEY GUY!!!!

Quote from ThrikMan, what is wrong with buying games? Do people not want good games to be made or something?
No dedicated servers has made lots of people bitter towards IW and Activision and people will always pirate games because if they can get it for free, then why pay for it? I can't see that link at work, is it a console leak? There were a few threads on the Steam forums with Xbox 360 ISOs...
God how many chat programs do I need lol? I barely use the others as it is, which is why I thought this would be a good idea to make use of them!
Looks like that's me buying the game then looking for a crack then...
Valid points Thrik as always, I was wondering when you'd post something about this. I think it's best that I reserve judgement until I play the scenario now.
I just noticed that play.com has the game for £40, is that about $60 ? I'm useless with currency.
Also can anyone comfirm whether or not the game uses Steamworks DRM for retailed boxed? or is it just the Steam online version?
What's Teamspeak? I'm working this weekend so it's not feasible for me to attend, next Saturday would be ok though.
I was thinking of a way to contribute to the community since I don't really do a lot of that often, I came up with the idea of hosting some kind of chat via Skype where we can all meet to talk about all things Mapcore. Whether it's a conversion on the pros and cons of Rick's proposed rating system, whether or not MW2 will turn out to be the most violent game ever or just sharing stories of just how badass and awesome Uncharted 2 is, I'm thinking it would be quite cool to actually talk about that kinda stuff for real. It could be a monthly or fortnightly event or something along those lines, upto others really.
I've personally known some of you over here for quite some time, but never really spoken to you properly, I know some of you met each other at the Mapcon that was held a couple of years ago (I think?) but I couldn't make that and the turn out was reportedly low due to many all living oceans away from one another. There's IRC of course, but it's pretty mindless at the best of times and doesn't allow such a good conversation flow as talking for real.
So what do you guys think? Yay or Gay?
We can always use Ventrillo as oppose to Skype if people prefer it.
Haha that's most bizzare but fascinating all the same.
I'll play through it, but I'll probably be biting my lip as I go, we'll have to wait and see what the context is. The BBFC passed the game with an 18 rating anyway, if it was that much of an issue there would have been some raised eyebrows and a failed rating.
I really feel sorry for IW and Activision, having some tard leak a section which would have been a big secret until people played it. The person is seen through the monitor reflection, perhaps they'll be able to identify them. It beats the Hell out of me how they managed to get hold of the game so early anyway?
Heh, I might like nasty things full of bloodshed and mutilation but it's within reason. You see scenes like this in films all the time but the difference here is that you're in control.
Quote from JetsetlemmingI've never seen a game that has you do it and has such shockingly realistic, desperate responses from the AI, with the screams and panic and wounded crawling and trying to hide and people trying to save friends by dragging them away. That's some serious shit right there.
See this is what I mean, nothing else before this has ever envoked this kind of harrowing reality, I just simply cannot have fun doing this, it feels wrong. In Counter-Strike, you can play as the terrorists and murder the hostages if you want to but do they get on their knees and beg for mercy or try to crawl away when wounded in the leg with their dead companion's blood soaked into their face? No not really.
To me not only is it disturbing it's also.. boring. Run through to hallway, kill everyone unarmed person in the room, move on, do it again. Someone bloodied, trying to carry their wounded companion to safety? Gun them down! Hell, better yet, feed them a load of M203 grenades, jizzing with excitement as the high pitched screams of people with no chance of survival echo throughout... yeaaaaah!
Anyway, I'll have to wait to see how it works out when I play the game but I'm betting it wont be long before the inevitable Daily Mail articles :roll:
Haha yeah, I think it's safe to say HL2 had a fair bit of influence here
