actually, yes we are breaking the rules: nothing has been on topic for many, many posts.

Talking about the marines and what not is not part of the topic honestly. Granted it is similar to the games events it is not part of the gameplay, graphics, etc.

I Just think we should talk about the game. More so stop repeating ourselves and talk about things like How good or bad it is, as it comes out tomorrow.

And that is your choice. Just don't expect everyone to follow suit. Were all big boys here and can make our own desicions. I have made mine and it should be here day after tomorrow. Happy Gaming all you MW2 gamers. Have fun that is what it is all about.

Games are not meant to be fun anymore man, its 2009, its all about emotions now. How the story grabs you. How it makes you react, and what you do in the situation. Most importantly how you feel after your done playing it.

The wii is a game system for fun, any current gen/next gen even PC games are all about emotion and story

bah i dont play empire total war and left 4 dead for storyline
storyline and drama should be part of a game not all of it

most if not all RPGs rely on a good storyline but a few of them are also fun games

another last point is that if a game it dramatic is can add to the enjoyment factor, enjoying something is also part of something being fun

PS i hate teh wii and its crap mini game compilations

And whos to say MW2 multiplayer wont be fun? How do you know you wont like the story.

I agree on some aspects as there are games i play for fun, but as far as singleplayer games go now adays if i dont like the story, i wont play the game.

A good story to me is a game that makes me think about it even after im done playing it.

Everybody is different and i think its more of a personality thing. If a game is great it doesn't need a great story, a lot of great games can get away with an average story like Mass Effect for example, wasn't the best but its one of my personal favourites, others hated it. Oblivion too never had a brilliant story but it is a well loved game. I dont think resident evil 5 was that great a story either but i loved playing it.

Yeah okay you win close the thread ive went off topic too

I never said i wouldn't like the story or multiplayer of MW2, how can i if i havnt touched it yet. I do plan to play it at a mates.

Well Gamestop is having a midnight release here so i'll probably be picking it up on my way back from college. I'll probably install it and play it for an hour then let you guys know how it runs on a Med. Spec pc, mine. Heck, according to 3dmark06, my pc is considered "fairly old"

Ya, a lot of Gamestops are doing a midnight launch for this game

The only time i would get this game is if i had a Console.(which i should be buying fairly soon)

I used to do that when I was in elementary , just spam about games.

I remember one particularly that I spammed the crap out of it was "C&C Red Alert 2" and drawings too.

I was in a class with friends I normally was frend from before , and they used to have early PCs quite early for that days and good enough for games , rare find, but anyways as other schoolfriends got familiar with RA2 , we started battles on the board , one being soviet the other allied and we draw bases at each end , dreadnought vessels , flak cannons , apocalypse tanks and Kirrov airships all over the place.

one silly thing I didn't know how to pronounce apocalypse back then , I called it akikoplace/akikopleys LoL And I think I will never forget this word for the rest of my life. RA2 was good

you brought back my memories

I'm beginning to understand why this has gotten to be a thread I got lost in. You are talking about while you are in Class. I have worked for a school district for 20 years and didn't start that job until I was 30.I think maybe I'm surrrounded by a lot younger folks here. Excuse me while I exit.
I will enjoy the game tomorrow when I get it and let this thread die for me until they have one talking about game play instead of trying to read into the future.
I am curious where do you youngsters get the money to build those top knotch machines you all have ? Here I am working two jobs and only run a dual core. Of course right now in this economy I have my daughter her husband and 2 grandkids living under my roof too.

No reason to be bitter towards those kids that have more spending money. I would never get married and have two kids all living at my parents place. Why would you even bring that into the discussion?

Old men are great at condescending on those who are younger. I do not personally do so, and I never will. I am old enough to know that doing so is blind ignorance at any age. Sorry that you young people have to deal with that crap. I see it all the time.

I figured you were not targeting me but I just thought that you were getting out of line and taking things too personal about a videogame.


BTW there will always be people more and less fortunate than yourself. I think you should just be happy with what you have and treat others with mutual respect. Sorry if I offended you or anyone else in this thread.
