Ram is so cheap now. Sell MW2 and get more ram.

not a bad suggestion

ram is good

i tried lanning MW2... no MP at all, or coop when offline

(friends copy, as stated earlier)
i decided immediately to not buy the game.
requiring net for coop is a killer for me (stopped me buying RA3 as well) as its the best way to get new buyers - coop it at a lan, they like it, they go buy it so you can coop online.

with no dedicated servers, online is useless - and without LAN games, offline is useless...

overall, MP is useless. will be testing SP shortly, and have little hope there with what i've seen so far.

Just beat the game on Veteran in 5 hours 15 minutes. Story is OK at most. NOTHING like COD4.

Sad..

What !!! The Cod4 story doesn't even compare to this on so many levels.

Sad..

So you beat it in 5hrs and 15 mins already, but it is just OK ? I think if I was playing a game that was just OK I'd take a break and not just blow thru it. Maybe you went way to fast and didn't absorb any of it ? I just can't see how these people who blow through these game can have any idea if it is good or bad. I heard one guy the other day say he beat it in 2.5 hours. It just makes you wonder are these people for real or on the hate wagon ?
I read those review posts on that one site how every one was scoring it a zero or one. You can tell hardly any of them even own the game just by the lack of description about it. I'm pretty sure these petition guys had something to do with that sites gamer reviews. I have read to many others all over the internet that are totally the opposite. That is just sad. IW worked for a few years to put this together and spent millions in the creation of it, yet these people try and shut them down because they want to remake it and claim they are better at development then IW. If the game is so bad create and market your own. Spend your time and money on it not some one elses. Then you get mad at them because they protect their interests. Yeah it is about the money. Just like you folks don't want to pay the little extra for this game they don't want to lose money by letting you market and re-create their product.
JMO and I know it doesn't account for squat with some of you IW haters.

im buy this game when it hits the bargain bin, not paying anymore then 15 bucks for it. i watched a buddy of mine play it for 20-30 minutes and ill admit it looked okay on the 360 but way to bring unrealistic and ruin the franchise that was kinda based on realism, whats with exploding money with headshots...calling it a money shot...REALLY? isnt that a porn term if im not mistaken...and the turrets...yes cause the soldiers in the fields these days carry mobile turrets...*sigh*...ill give it to it that it is fun to play against freinds when they come over and sit down, but im no longer gonna take call of duty seriosly? its more of a arcade shooters for a casual gamer now

thats how my view goes.

this has gone from modern warfare (realistic combat in a fictional setting) to futuristic made up combat.

this is future warfare, not modern warfare - and the MP is fucking shitful.
yes. i swore. take it. take it like IW deserves to take it, in an orifice not meant to take it.

i'm a hardcore lanner. 2 hour drives to 500 person lans are normal to me. whats that, 500 gamers starving for a new FPS to play? well they just got fucked over badly. no offline mode. at all.

thats ok, lets all just team up and play online! sure, lets add 500-1000 people to our friends list, and see how THAT goes... "i dont want this map, i want a better server..."

now that i have my hands on the game, my rage is overflowing. oh and guess what? $120. yeah. The aussie dollar is pretty close to the USA dollar these days, but we still gotta pay DOUBLE for what i see as less than half what we got in the previous games (CoD4/WaW)

boise49ers · Nov 12, 2009

I just realized why I don't understand the other side of the coin here. Took me awhile I'll admit. We aren't just talking avid gamers here. We are talking obsessive compulsive. I am not saying this is a bad thing either. I have things in my life I am that way about. I game maybe 2 hrs a week so I have no idea what having a huge change in the way I game would be. I just know when something I enjoy that much is taken away I get pissed. It is normal to not accept changes like that. I am backing off from here on out. When I play the game I'm giving my account of the experience as it pertains to me. Accept my apologies for not understanding before and thanks to Mussels for putting it in a better perspective for me.
Happy Gaming and Hurry up Battlefield BC 2 so these fella's can get their fix :laugh:

johnnyfiive · Nov 12, 2009

Game looks great, but nothing 'mind boggling' over CoD 4. I just really wish the MP wasn't gimped, it would be a great game.

allen337 · Nov 12, 2009

junk!! no lan, what were they thinking?

INSTG8R · Nov 12, 2009

Well I played a couple of rounds of MP last night(I have NEVER played any COD's online except a few co-ops with some mates in W@W) The last MP FPS I really played was BF2142 and before that BF2. I didn't think it was so bad. There is alot of junk popping up on the screen when you kill or get killed, which I frankly found rather distracting.
It ran smoothly and I didn't feel any indication of lag(I was doing the bigger maps) I'm on a 10/10 connection so who knows, maybe I was host

Is it my bag? No not really but then I have never really been into the whole MP fragfest, run and gun "I will Pwn you!" crap anyways. Maybe I am just too old. I am from the era of Ghost Recon and the REAL Tom Clancy tactical games of old I guess.

On the other hand I am on my 2nd run thru the campaign bumping it up from Normal to Hardened and it hasn't lost any of the intensity and excitement it had the first time thru(just getting shredded alot quicker :eek:

)

pr0n Inspector · Nov 12, 2009

Awesome campaign! Money and 6 hrs well spent. Not really that interested in MP though, I'm a SP/story person.

AltecV1 · Nov 12, 2009

i wonder if IW is reading the game scores and if they do what are they thinking now

pbmaster · Nov 12, 2009

I still get sad reading all the negative comments about this. I was soo looking forward to MW2, until I read about the lack of dedicated servers. It's still beyond me why IW would mangle such a great game. They're trying to target the majority of gamers I guess...all those who want pretty graphics and easy wins.

I Absorbed as much of it as i could, notice i went from saying the game was not worth it to the story was OK, I just found COD4 story to be better is all. I like the story in fact it's very interesting and it is a true sequel to modern warfare. I am currently playing it online a lot also. I would rather spend 60 dollars on this game than Halo ODST. that was a waist of money. I was expecting the campaign to be short because COD4 was short, i just thought it'd take longer on vet level cause COD4 took me about 6.5 to 7 hours to beat on veteran. This could be after 2 years of playing online my skills have improved on the single player front quite well. I am sorry if i offended you and of course i appreciate the time they put into it, if i didn't i'd be like 80% of the people here and either pirate it or not buy it at all.

I can give you full details about the story from start to finish, Stories are a big thing to me, i'd shut if off if i felt i was wasting my time. Only reason i am not saying ANYTHING is cause i don't want to spoil it, And there is a lot that can easily be spoiled by just saying a little of it. Most of the 1's and 0's are just disgruntled PC users or people who just suck at the console version online as it is a lot different than COD4 online. A lot more camping and more places to hide and the maps aren't just big vertically. Horizontally there huge also.

wolf · Nov 12, 2009

Nice post Mussels, It takes a lot for you to rage, and your opinion carries a lot of weight for me.

I'ma see it in action at a friends place before I make my final opinion on whether its worth trying.

douglatins · Nov 12, 2009

This game has no SLI support, one of my cores just sit idleing. I´ve tried before making a decision to buy it

Are you sure? The engine supports it and at this point it would be more work to remove that stuff than to include it. Maybe you got a bum copy?

DrPepper · Nov 12, 2009

Multiplayer isn't bad at all even though there aren't dedicated servers. I enjoyed it personally although would be nice if it was more than 18 people.

Jaffakeik · Nov 12, 2009

game is fun and good looking,i dont care abou MP so i wont say anything else about it.SP is better than previous games.
