YAY for returning maps and uav/airstrike/heli. :D

[Fignuts]

Anytime "favorite" maps return for a sequel, they are always ones I don't like.

[LoDownM]

Sniper with silencers will NOT be in multiplayer


Damn it.

[BigDaddyCool]

Will the US be able in invade Canada? That would be sweet.

[Innovator]

If wetworks makes it on, we riot

[Fignuts]

Sniper with silencers will NOT be in multiplayer


Damn it.

As someone who uses sniper classes myself, even I have to admit that would be too much.

[CSL]

This will be the first FPS I've ever bought on release day

[BigDaddyCool]

Who gives a shit if this is the first fist person shit you bought ever?

[CSL]

TPWW's newest member mrdynasty cares bitch

[LoDownM]

As someone who uses sniper classes myself, even I have to admit that would be too much.

They could do somethings so it wouldn't be completely overpowered, like they could have made it so if you put a silencer on your rifle, you can't use a uav jammer, or only get 1 claymore or you lose a perk slot like when you use grenades on guns.

[Blitz]

No more Skorp :(

Hope it doesn't end up being TOO similar to MW1. I want some new perks, and if all the old ones are returning doesn't seem like they'll be too many.

Still an instant buy though.

[Kalyx triaD]

No P90?!?

[Blitz]

List seems to be false, or at least not entirely true.

[Fignuts]

That might balance things out for normal game types, but they would still be overpowered in hardcore.

Dunno, just don't think snipers need silencers.

[ClockShot]

They missed the boat witht he ghille suit in the sniper mission and not having it in multiplayer as an option in create a class. Nice to see it makes it in.

Kinda sucks they're gonna dumb down the stopping power on the M16. Unless they got mad hate mail on it, I hope that juggernaut gets affected as well so it gets balanced out in the long run.

[Fignuts]

It's fake, clockshot.

[G]

This is an outrage!

[D Mac]

Is there still cheating going on in COD4 MP? Have'nt played it in months. Hopefully CODMW 2 will crackdown on that shit.

[Fignuts]

What cheating?

Never encountered anything tbh.

[D Mac]

I've heard of people using "accuracy chips" or some shit on the PS3 version. And people exploiting map areas out of the general areas where you can't see them, like way off the screen. Don't know if it's bullshit or not, but a lot of cheating rumors go around.

[G]

I've never encountered any of this. And I've spent some time playing this game.

[D Mac]

Some people get so many goddamn kills in one session you wonder sometimes...

[G]

Yeah, I bet they were wondering about me. :mad:

[G]

Nah, j/k. ;)

[Fignuts]

Well there are people who use modded controllers.

[D Mac]

My nephew said they should get rid of Juggernaut.

[LoDownM]

And people exploiting map areas out of the general areas where you can't see them, like way off the screen. Don't know if it's bullshit or not, but a lot of cheating rumors go around.

Those are on all the versions of the game(360, PC, PS3). Infact I found out you could get on top of the buildings on Crossfire on the PC version.

[Fignuts]

Dunno. I use stopping power to counter it so it evens out.

[Fignuts]

Those are on all the versions of the game(360, PC, PS3). Infact I found out you could get on top of the buildings on Crossfire on the PC version.

A far as I know tho, you can only do that kind of stuff in old school mode, due to being able to jump higher.

[LoDownM]

Juggernauts not a problem when they can't see you on radar or hear you sneaking up on them :p

[LoDownM]

A far as I know tho, you can only do that kind of stuff in old school mode, due to being able to jump higher.

Did it on normal Merc Team death match on PC and PS3. I only did it once, way to much effort.

[Kalyx triaD]

Personally, I can do without any of the Perks. They're gay and make the game more arcadey than any Halo or other similarly 'non-realistic' shooter. And if their must be Perks, keep them logical. That shit where you drop a grenade upon death is newb any way you out it. Newb shit to the max. Why should you be rewarded - upon death - with a grenade drop that will at the very least rock your killer or whoever is around. Why? Whose idea was that? Then there's shooting why laying on the ground 'dying'. This should be a default ability and it doesn't even constitute as something to be turned on or off.

Like I said, I rather abolish Perks in general. But if they must be there, the stupid shit that adds nothing to the game/meta-game/strats of CoD4 can go.

[Disturbed316]

Looking forward to this.

[Ogen]

Sniper with silencers will NOT be in multiplayer


Damn it.

Nah hardcore with a silenced sniper would make you invincible.

[Ogen]

Hope they don't actually end up sticking vehicles in, its never done right in games.

[Fignuts]

Kalyx is off his rocker. Perks are awesome. Also, Martyrdom is excellent for objective based games. Wouldn't use it in kill based games, but in domination or headquarters, it's too useful a tool not to use it.

[G]

martyrstupid

[Fignuts]

YOU'RE STUPID

[Kalyx triaD]

Kalyx is off his rocker. Perks are awesome. Also, Martyrdom is excellent for objective based games. Wouldn't use it in kill based games, but in domination or headquarters, it's too useful a tool not to use it.

It takes no skill whatsoever.

[LoDownM]

Yeah it does. You just lack the skill to aviod it.

[Fignuts]

Seriously.

I've never seen a good player bitch about martyrdom. Fuck, you don't even have to be that good. I'm average, and I very rarely get killed by it. Certainly not enough where I'm crying for it to be taken out.

And all this talk of "rewarding you for getting killed" is a complete crock of shit. You are not garaunteed a kill. And it isn't a reward for dying. It's a reward for reaching the level in rank that unlocks it.

Just so sick of all this whining and bitching about stuff in this game. M16s are noob, grenade launchers are noob, uav jammer is noob, martyrdom is noob, stopping power is noob, shooting people is noob.

Maybe everyone should just stand completly still and try and knife one another. No one will get any kills, but at least they won't be noobs.

[G]

Fignuts is noob.

[Fignuts]

Your face is noob.

[Kalyx triaD]

Avoid what? A fucking bomb from a corpse? The only way to avoid it would be to steer clear of a recent frag, interrupting your tactical movements about a deathmatch (or whathaveyou) and for what? The strategic implications are annoying at best. Games aren't decided from 'failsafe' measures and should not be.

I waltz around the range of the blast from the stupid Perk and go about my business. Except it's not a uniform Perk, so people will steer clear of 'dying corpse' just in case they get fragged by a bomb that the killed player did not have to activate in any way. In Gears you have to have a grenade in hand at the time of death, and then activate the move for a last ditch well deserved frag (and I can't even believe I'm citing Gears for this one).

In Halo you merely throw a grenade at your feet when death is pretty much expected, still a move at your control. This carries over to just about any other shooter. Pfft, even CoD4!

So why then is there some static mechanic that leaves the player totally void of responsibility pending death? Why should the game designers be so kind as to include a bothersome mechanic like this? It is gay and counter-intuitive to CoD's [apparently] tactic heavy nature - which, BTW, the game consistently contradicts with various features that spit on the idea of balance.

[Kalyx triaD]

I can care less about that other shit, I'm specifically talking about the highlighted portion. Don't rank me in with bitches who can't play the game when I'm supporting my case with-

You know what? Fuck it. Enjoy the game, later.

[Fignuts]

Wasn't talking about you specifically. Just the community in general.

[stone cold]

I agree it's very handy when it comes to those 2 matches especially on maps like shipment where the map is very confined. I scored like 700 some points on headquarters just on that map thanks to the martrdom perk.

[stone cold]

This is just a game, it's meant for entertainment purposes. You all take this way to seriously. It's not a life or death situation.

[Kalyx triaD]

'The fuck? Am I playing a competitive game to pussy-foot around and waste time or am I testing my skills? If you don't care about winning why bother? I mean, yeah you have a right to enjoy the game at merits you define for yourself - it's none of my business. But don't even try to pull that 'take it serious' bullshit on me.

[Kalyx triaD]

Try again.

It's not like there is a gernade indicator or anything so you can aviod it :roll:

PS: Spaz

[Kalyx triaD]

PS: Spaz

Problem solved, right?

Right.

[LoDownM]

Yes. Stop bitching because you don't see the indicator quick enough.

[G]

lol Kalyx flying off the handle

[Blitz]

It really isn't hard to avoid. Most of the weapons, you shouldn't be killing at too close a range anyways. And if you get killed once or twice by it in a match, that's enough to remind you to be wary.

I got killed by it a lot when I started. But now it's second nature to me (most of the time) to not blindly charge over a just killed corpse. Yeah it kind of sucks if you're going around a corner and run into an martyrdomed enemy that a teammate just dropped or something, but shit like that happens in video games.

And all the stuff about it disrupting tactical movement, well that's kind of the point, isn't it. I know I'm not gonna turn off any of my perks because it annoys my opponent. I want him off his game. That's like complaining about people throwing fireballs in Street Fighter because you can't walk across the screen anymore.

[RoXer]

oh fuck i just typed up this big long fuvking repl on my stupid fucking but then i pressed clear one too many times and it all got fucked up.

But yeah, I was also against you, Kalyx. YOu have no friends in this arguement

[RoXer]

* stupid fucking phone

[Kalyx triaD]

Fuck you guys. And fuck RoXer's phone.

[G]

Don't you mean RoXy's phone.

[Kalyx triaD]

That too.

Fuck all phones!

[stone cold]

Well guess what i just did and thats the bottom line.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yo...

Silence.

[G]

Because there is nothing to discuss about this game. Fucking Blitz had to ruin it.

[Kalyx triaD]

[Kalyx triaD]

HTML lacks.

I don't know how to display UBB code, so HTML will do for my purpose.

[Kalyx triaD]

Oh I see.

[The Mackem]

AS long as the game is decent and they have a good PAM mod, everything is fine. The world will be a better place.

Modern Warfare 2 teaser video shows off first game footage, promises 'world premiere' May 24 (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/10/modern-warfare-2-teaser-video-shows-off-first-game-footage-prom/)


TNT has been teasing the "world premiere" of Modern Warfare 2 (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/modern-warfare-2/) on May 24th during the Eastern Conference , and it's offering a teaser as a hook. It looks like the footage might be culled solely from cutscenes, but it seems to be promising us some snowmobile vehicle action, underwater levels, and a shellfire sequence that hearkens back to the AC-130 gunship level in the first game.

Check out the video above, and if you're interested in Modern Warfare 2, or the NBA, then tune in during the Eastern Conference finals in two weeks. That Siberian setting is looking particularly cool at the start of the summer.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in! Now back to your regular TNT viewing]

[Blitz]

Still a bitch.

[RoXer]

what a baby

stop whining

[G]

I'm a bit hesitant with joystiq's embed codes, because I'm not sure if the video is showing up for anyone else. After copying and pasting the code, it leaves "excess" code laying around. When I delete that, the video seems to disappear. So, it's like post their video with extra code sticking out, or nothing at all. Probably just me. Pretty sure it is.

Modern Warfare 2 intel captured in latest Game Informer (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/12/modern-warfare-2-intel-captured-in-latest-game-informer/)

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/05/mw2cover580px.jpg (http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/general-discussion/30/modern-warfare-2-info-imageshack-links/242063/#1)

As per this month's Modern Warfare 2 (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/modern-warfare-2) cover story in Game Informer, details of the piece have surfaced over at GiantBomb (http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/general-discussion/30/modern-warfare-2-info-imageshack-links/242063/#1). A smattering of new revelations are covered, including the flat-out refusal of co-op play in story mode (said to break the narrative experience). Additionally, Captain "Soap" MacTavish returns, bringing with him distinctly more open-ended gameplay, and a significantly fleshed out "special forces" mode (one that will mimic and expand upon the final "Mile High Club" airplane battle in CoD4 (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/call-of-duty-4)).

If you want more, you're just going to have to snag a copy of this month's GI. We'll be honest with you, though -- at this point, we expect greatness from the veteran development team at Infinity Ward (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/infinity-ward). Luckily, from the looks of things, the game's release on November 10 (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/03/25/gdc-09-modern-warfare-2-coming-nov-10/) will bring ever-widening smiles to the faces of existing fans and reignite our already burnin' love for the series.

ArmA 2
Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising
Battlefield 1943

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2


To be honest, solid year for warfare FPS.

[Sovereigntywillpr]

I never know rather to get it for ps3 or xbox360... Xbox live is more organized but my year is almost up and affter the two 1 month cards i have i don't think i'll use it (inless call of duty comes with a free month)

Modern Warfare 2 map packs hitting Xbox Live first (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/01/modern-warfare-2-map-packs-hitting-xbox-live-first/)

Modern Warfare 2 has officially joined the somewhat exclusive Microsoft DLC club. Infinity Ward's relentless first-person shooter will offer downloadable map packs (duh!), the first two of which will launch first on Xbox Live. The news came via Microsoft's E3 press, where Microsoft's John Schappert was keen to emphasize that the Xbox 360 version would lead the way in Modern Warfare 2's online component.

Which, with any luck, will be heavy on the snowmobile combat. Snowmobile combat!

[D Mac]

WOOOOOO just pre ordered this the other day. Blockbuster will be having a midnight madness the when this comes out.

Infinity Ward says 2 is the magic number for Modern Warfare co-op (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/23/infinity-ward-says-2-is-the-magic-number-for-modern-warfare-co-o/)

Why can't every developer be Infinity Ward? When asked by Videogamer.com (http://www.videogamer.com/news/infinity_ward_two-player_the_magic_number_for_co-op.html) why Modern Warfare 2 (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/modern-warfare-2)'s co-op was limited to two players, spokesman Robert Bowling said, "Two player seemed to be the magic number for co-op. That's when it stayed really fun and intense without becoming a clusterf**k of things."

Bowling also said that the whole game won't be playable in co-op because the developer is "crafting a very specific experience" and doesn't want to "ruin that by cramming co-op into it." While it's nice to see a company stick to its guns like that, we figure developers who sell a hojillion copies of a game can pretty much write their own menus.

UK, June 25, 2009 - Activision and Infinity Ward could be cutting into their profits for Modern Warfare 2 by dropping the Call of Duty moniker, according to tracking firm OTX.

Gamasutra reports that in a survey of US gamers conducted by the firm, consumer awareness levels for the game with Call of Duty at the front of the title were at 40 per cent. However this fell to just 20 per cent when the title was switched to just Modern Warfare 2.

OTX boffin Nick Williams does the math: "The Call of Duty brand association essentially doubles the awareness for the game. That is quite a remarkable statistic."

Indeed it is, although Activision shouldn't go crying to their bank managers just yet. OTX do go on to say that 'purchase intent' for the title was still four times above average, and that's before a sure-to-be-huge marketing push closer to the title's release this November. Says Williams: "Even without the Call of Duty association, it is still perceived as a must have title."

It's going to have zero effect. :-\

Eh I can do without all that crap. Extra Multiplayer maps or some shit would be the only thing worth buying extra.

Hopefully there will be a Multiplayer Beta on this. Everybody look for it around September or October and let us know if you're the first to find out about it.

I'm sure there will be, since the last two had one.

Activision: Modern Warfare 2 was always ready for the 'Call of Duty' (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/07/09/activision-modern-warfare-2-was-always-ready-for-the-call-of-d/)

by Randy Nelson (http://www.joystiq.com/bloggers/randy-nelson/) { 3 hours ago } http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/001xbox001.png (http://xbox.joystiq.com/) http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/001playstation001.png (http://playstation.joystiq.com/)
http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/07/cod.is.back.070909-580px.jpg
The fact that "Call of Duty" branding was conspicuously absent from Modern Warfare 2 (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/modern-warfare-2)'s debut trailer and all subsequent promotional materials about the game seemed to declare clearly enough that the title had left the franchise's well-fortified nest. A fact that Activision seemed to acknowledge (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/03/26/activision-modern-warfare-has-taken-on-a-life-of-its-own/) by telling us it "has taken on such a life of its own." So, imagine our surprise when the game's box art materializes ... with "Call of Duty" in the title.

Was this a reaction to the fact that consumers weren't really aware of the game without the familiar branding, as made clear by a Google Trends chart (http://www.google.com/trends?q=modern+warfare%2C+call+of+duty&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0) tweeted by Destructoid's Nick Chester (http://twitter.com/nickchester/status/2555852281)? (Or recent analyst comments saying as much (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/24/survey-says-without-call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2-is-less-re/).) When asked about the apparent change of heart (and art), Activision replied, "Infinity Ward, the original creators of the Call of Duty franchise, has said from the beginning Modern Warfare 2 resides in the Call of Duty universe. This is reflected in the title's package."

The company also said that, "Modern Warfare 2 is the direct sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. We have focused our attention on Modern Warfare in order to most effectively communicate the fact that this is the first true sequel in the Call of Duty series." We agree: letting people know it's a Call of Duty game is probably a good thing.

[G]

I understand it's probably best for sales, but I was really feeling the drop of the title.

[Kalyx triaD]

I find it silly that people were presumed to be so terribly stupid that they would be confused by the absence of "Call of Duty." This whole ordeal was a fucking silly situation.

Modern Warfare 2 'Hardened Edition' will run you $80 (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/07/14/modern-warfare-2-hardened-edition-will-run-you-80/)

by Justin McElroy (http://www.joystiq.com/bloggers/justin-mcelroy/) { 4 hours ago } http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/001xbox001.png (http://xbox.joystiq.com/) http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/001playstation001.png (http://playstation.joystiq.com/)
http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/07/hardened.jpg (http://twitter.com/fourzerotwo/status/2625191469)

Though we have no idea the kind of hurt that a game that comes with night vision goggles (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/07/13/modern-warfare-2-prestige-edition-includes-working-night-vision/) will put on our wallets (and we will allow that hurt, make no mistake), we have a price for the Hardened Edition, the name of which is easy to remember, as the box in which it is contained is hard, like metal.

Besides the steel game case, you'll get an art book and Call of Duty Classic on XBLA or PSN all for $80, according to Infinity Ward spokesman Robert Bowling's Twitter feed (http://twitter.com/fourzerotwo/status/2625191469).

Also, anyone notice anything missing from the Hardened box? Any ... words (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/07/09/activision-modern-warfare-2-was-always-ready-for-the-call-of-d/) specifically?


Pass on that. Stupid artbook and Arcade game for extra $20, no thank you.

[Fignuts]

D-Mac is against all that is cool.

I could probably get some real NVG from my cousin the Army recruiter.

[G]

Get a $10 video game credit when you purchase this from Amazon. I dunno how it'll work for everyone else, but since I'm a trial member of Prime (which is free and easy to cancel online), I get free release date delivery. They didn't charge me tax, so it came to $59.99 plus I get the $10 credit when it ships. So $49.99. Not bad. Now I gotta go cancel my GS preorder, which will be for the 2nd time. I have two of those preorder posters in my basement. :cool:

Only Two Modern Warfare 2 Map Packs Planned (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/59869)




Though we've known for a while that two downloadable Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 map packs would hit Xbox 360 first (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/58894) before any other platform, it now appears that those two map packs could be the entirety of the shooter's downloadable content.

"We plan to launch two separate map packs for this title," Activision Publishing CEO Mike Griffith said of Modern Warfare 2's "online content" in a conference call, adding that over 8 million Call of Duty map pack downloads have been sold on PS3 and Xbox 360.

Said map packs are traditionally priced at 800 MS Points ($10) on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and usually hit PC a bit later on in the form of a free update. Infinity Ward, which is crafting Modern Warfare 2, released one map pack for the first Modern Warfare, while Treyarch has thus far produced three for the more recent Call of Duty: World at War.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 hits PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 10--the same day the Wii gets the original Modern Warfare (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/59843) and the DS gets Mobilized (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/59808).

We know you had a great time testing Call of Duty 4 (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/call-of-duty-4)'s multiplayer component before the final game launched, so we're sad to note CVG (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=221588)'s report that Modern Warfare 2 (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/modern-warfare-2) will not go the same route as its predecessor. An Activision spokesperson confirmed to the outlet that there will be no multiplayer beta for the game.

We also know that sucks, so in an effort to get Activision and developer Infinity Ward to change their minds, we've started this online petition (http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/joystiqmw2mpbeta/). It's bound to get their attention, right? Hello? Are you going to get a pen? It's on the internet, you don't need one!

[Thanks, Cr4sh Dummy]




get the f out of here

[D Mac]

Goddamn fucking fuckers. :mad:

[Fignuts]

Don't really need to do a beta, tbh.

[D Mac]

Yes we do because I can't fucking wait until November.

[Ogen]

Idiots not doing a Beta will end up missing out on a load of glitches.

[D Mac]

Yeah and cheaters.

[Blitz]

Idiots not doing a Beta will end up missing out on a load of glitches.
They do testing. They're doing an in-house beta. Just not a public one.

[El Fangel]

I cant remember the last time I played Overgrown on Cod4, fucking assholes glitch into the ground under the fence and cant be killed. Times like that I wish I could reach throw a fucking tv and punch someone in the face.

Ruins the fucking game.

[D Mac]

Finally got to level 65 on World at War and the Flamethrower is awesome. :D

[Ogen]

They do testing. They're doing an in-house beta. Just not a public one.

Yeah but stupid little glitches like people melting into the ground at one specific point by doing one specific thing won't be noticed until theres thousands playing regularly.

[OssMan]

Those glitches are hilarious. There was this one level where you could go into the pipes underground and shoot all the people walking through the tunnel. And going to the top of the buildings in Old School mode

[Vietnamese Crippler]

New, small detail: Dual wield perk.

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/101/1017882p1.html

[D Mac]

No conformation for that on multiplayer yet.

Host migration, sweet. No more Host Ended Game bullshit I hope.

There is so much I like about that video I don't know where to start.

Oh hell of course I do. HE FUCKING THREW A KNIFE AT THAT GUY.

MOAR :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:

Here's a bigger, better quality version.

Love the way the blood is on the screen when you're near death.

Killstreak rewards: UAV, Airdrop, Predator Missile.

[Blitz]

Check the way the radar fades out when the player approaches Fourzerotwo at the end of the video. New way of UAV Jammer working?

[Fignuts]

He fucking threw a knife at that guy.

[ClockShot]

Bummer, I wanted to see him call in that predator missile and do some damage.

[Disturbed316]

Fucking hell, looks awesome.

[Ogen]

Throwing your knife better mean you lose it though, can see people becoming annoyingly good with that unless they make sure its fairly unaccurate and has little range since its a guarenteed one shot kill.

[Kalyx triaD]

250 fucking gigs?

asdfghjkl;'

PRO PERKS. DEATHSTREAKS. SUPPRESSED SNIPER RIFLES. Continuous state of orgasm for the last 10 minutes. Can't. Fucking. Wait. for this game.

[Blitz]

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/capture-the-modern-warfare/56042

Czech the Predator Missile at the end. Hottttttttttt.

[Kalyx triaD]

Suppressed sniper rifles. Balance restored.

[Blitz]

A lot of this is gonna be polarizing. Suppressed snipers (and shottys). A perk that can effectively give you infinite grenades and ammo. A perk that gives you longer melee range. Deathstreaks (even though they don't seem powerful by any means). UAV being able to be shot down. A way to respawn wherever you like. Lots of people are gonna hate this stuff.

I am not one of them.

[Kalyx triaD]

Proponents of game balance (like me) would. It's basically an officiated cheat-code arms race. I think CoD can survive without the wackier perks (or any).

[Kalyx triaD]

Yes, I'm aware you can lock all the perks via private games.

[Blitz]

I have enough faith in Infinity Ward as a developer to believe that they've got everything more or less balanced out. A lot of details we don't know.

Reading that article, the thought that popped into mind was "Holy fuck, this game is gonna be chaos". You're gonna be in battles against a much wider variety of opposition than COD4. Silenced snipers, Riot shielded shotgunners, commandos who specialize in melee and throwing knives, ACOG'd grenade launchers, dual wielding pistoleros throwing semtex, all with their own set of killstreaks that you're not gonna have a damned clue about until they get broken out. You're gonna need to adapt, to toss out your old strategies and classes and create brand new ones, to fly by the seat of your pants and hope you've got enough skill to come out looking good.

How can you not be excited by that.

[Kalyx triaD]

There's controlled fun chaos and "Fuck this shit!" chaos. It's sounding like the latter right now.

As you said the dev team must know something we don't if they can introduce such elements and still deem it playable and fun (with no beta testing, no doubt). And all the videos didn't look as chaotic as the elements hint at.

[Kalyx triaD]

Being open minded here, but I always found the Perk system a drag for CoD.

[LoDownM]

That 360 looks sexy, do want.

[Blitz]

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/capture-the-modern-warfare/56044

.44 Magnum, baby. Couple of new perk names, Marathon and Lightweight. Famas looks M16-powerful.

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/highrise-gameplay-modern-warfare/56050

The Highrise map.

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/capture-the-modern-warfare/56048

Silenced shotty makes a brief appearance. Is that a gametype called Demolition? Accolades. Nice. Reminds me of Goldeneye.

Honestly the only thing I'm slightly concerned about at this point is that it doesn't seem like the guns have much recoil.

[ClockShot]

With all the problems my 360 is having, I may go grab that special edition.

[ClockShot]

Speaking of that special edition 360, who's got pre-order rights to that?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Speaking of that special edition 360, who's got pre-order rights to that?

Gamestop already. 50 dollar minimum

[G]

Amazon has it too. If I didn't buy the stupid RE5 Elite, I'd def get this.

[D Mac]

So Demolition is like Search and Destroy only with respawns?

[Blitz]

My favorite new mode, "Demolition," is much more explosive -- literally. Teams take turns: one team defends while the other attacks a couple of bomb points on a map. The offensive team is trying to blow up both points in a set amount of time. If they do, they score a point. Defensive, of course, is working to protect those bomb points. Then you switch. The team that has the most points after two rounds wins.

[D Mac]

So it basically is only you have to destroy both targets.

[G]

Pretty cool if it's like a bigger version of S&D.

[D Mac]

Will this game have War? Didn't really like that one for World at War.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah, my bro said he's jumping on that. This is good for me because he just got a 120gig HDD and that's gonna need a new home...

[thecc]

The HDD was the biggest appeal for me. My 20 gig is full and it's a pretty good deal.

[D Mac]

Still got 60 gig on my 120 and I have about 6 games installed. :cool:
