So, again, COD blows all the other shooters this year out of the water. I play live like crazy right now, so if anyone gets it and needs a squadmate, sen me a PM for my gamertag.

That said, anyone else get this yet?


Hey beautiful people, you're better off trying to e-mail me than message me on here.

No dedicated servers.

Obvious half-effort console port to pc.

60 dollars.

No thanks.


Also that airport level would have probably driven me off anyway. Talk about tasteless.


EDIT: Oh yeah Borderlands and L4D2 are out/ coming out before years end, so it definately isn't the best shooter this year. :V

I'd like to use this topic to ask a question: why Call of Duty? What does this series have compared to all the other shoorters available? The BBC news feed had an article about this game, so this definitely isn't just an average game with a yearly upgrade.

While I am stuck with the console version of TF2, I still honestly prefer that over COD--it just isn't any fun to me. Also, that airport level... why should anything like that ever be OK?

Heh. The console version of TF2 is so bad...well, it's good, there's just a lack of content/variety. And even so, it's superior to COD. Unfortunately, most of my friends like COD a lot more--meh.

I must say, I do love how 24 can have a terrorist slaughter/hostage situation in an airport for no other reason than to have Jack save the say and no one bats an eye, and then a game does something similar with the intent of the gamer being repulsed by it and all of a sudden it's tasteless?

Yeah, sure. Whatever.

It's tasteless in a matter of opinion. Note how I said it would drive -me- off there, bro. I tend to never watch TV, so obviously I wouldn't have first-hand experience to provide a proper argument anyway.

Worth mentioning:

Spoiler (click to toggle)
the terrorist you play as is undercover to get close to the big guy, and is killed at the end of the mission when the terrorists realize who he is.
At least, that's what I gleaned from the video I saw.

That said, I kind of wanted to play this, but since it wasn't in I just ended up renting Halo 3 ODST and Assassin's Creed 2 and didn't feel much the worse off for it. ;)

I ended up finishing Assassin's Creed 2 in about 20 hours. Best game ever. XD

I'm getting a PS3 soon, and probably getting MW2 with it, since online is free with PS3 <3

Ok, I'll be that guy.

CoDMW2 sucks.

Ok, done bein' an ass.

CoDMW2 isn't as good as MW1. Here's why: guns are terribly imbalanced, maps are way too campy, nukes are dumb, taking out juggernaut while keeping stopping power is dumb, and knifing is broken without commando.

MW1 didn't have ANY of these problems aside from weapon balance, but that was only with M16. I love MW1, but, while MW2 is fun occasionally, it definitely was a step down.

But hey, Infinity Ward is gone now pretty much, and Activition pretty much neutered the CoD series so whatever...

To each their own, the last Call of duty I played was Call of Duty 3 on the PC, my family would LAN Party it, was so much fun LOL. In all honesty, I have more fun playing the one player games or story mode on Multiplayers, no idea why. The only real online ones I own are LBP, MW2 and RE5, and all things considering, I think they are all amazing

I didn't mean to imply that I really though MW2 sucked. It doesn't, it can be fun and if mine wasn't broken I'd probably be playing it still. But even while I'd play it, I'd mumble under my breath how much I thought MW1 was better because of the issues I named. And sense its gone, I play MW1 now. I have more fun. Hozzah...

But the single player for MW2 was great as well, that was better than MW1's at least. Not to mention spec-ops...

Spec ops is very fun too, whenever I find a capable person to help me with it LOL my PS3 list is pretty bare and I don't like random selections thanks to Resident Evil 5... D=

Well it finally happened, I finally got MW2 and I gotta say, I love it. The campaign was awesome, I like the multiplayer(when I have 5 friends with me on the same team haha) and I like Spec Ops, but only with a good friend of course, it's too hard on my own sometimes. Anyways all in all, great game, I see no problems with it. Yes each map has campers, but what game like this doesn't? Each and every game out there is gonna have something like that no matter what.

Anyways, good campaign, multiplayer and Spec Ops. I can't wait to play it again. I'm a lvl 25 by the way so yeah lol See ya!

I finally played it when Steam had a free multiplayer weekend. What a crappy game...

Then again, I grew up on Unreal Tournament and Quake, proper shooters from a lost era. Those didn't try to be realistic, they tried to be fun. Fast action and crazy gunfights, that's what makes a good shooter. MW2 seemed like it was trying to be realistic while being an action game at the same time, but it seemed to suck at both. The weird messages onscreen coupled with the sound effects gave it a "this game has a lot of testosterone" vibe that seemed to be compensating for something.

I've bashed Counter-Strike for the same reasons, but MW2 doesn't seem as well done. I'd rather play CS.

Judging by the internal strife with the publisher and Infinity Ward, "manufacturing" Modern Warfare 3 might be the way to put it.

Must you sound like such a downer? The way you talk just really bums me out, stop it! Anyways, I can't wait to see Modern Warfare 3 come out, I'd love to play it! I wonder if Modern Warfare 3 is gonna be just as good or better than Modern Warfare 3, well one way to find out, gotta wait till it comes out. Oh, on the topic of Modern Warfare 2 though I'm one kill away from getting the thermal scope for my Barrett .50cal, I just need one more kill, but I need a friend to let me kill them in 3rd person cage match haha.

Well wish me luck in getting the attachment I want! Bye!

MW3 probably won't be anywhere near the same quality as MW2, seeing as how alot of the important people have abandoned ship, and the majority of the remnants are suing Activision.

If you NEED your realistic military shooters, you should opt for Bad Company 2 instead.

TF2 is still the best FPS though.
