Less than 24 hours until I will be playing this game.

I know there's 10000 threads on this, but this is the magic day that we have been all waiting for (cept those kids who have it early, we all know)

I.
CANT.
WAIT.

blatant lie. there is literally no way a girl who never plays video games got 20 kills in anything resembling a real match, against real people. just total bullshit

and on the opinion side of things, id say halo is a lot harder to be good at and thats why i think its more fun. theres like countless ways to kill someone so instead of just, whoever flicks their right stick fastest and sprays the enemy, there are a million different things i can do and a ton more decision-making involved in halo. for example if someone gets the first shot on you, you could lead him with a nade so its at his feet when it blows up, then rush him faster than he would like so you can get the melee in etc etc there are so many more things going on

Yeah CS is intense i used to play that piece of video game meth all the time. It becomes an addiction. people put wayyy to much time into that game though. Getting good enough to no scope with an awp from t spawn on dust2 requires easily 50 hours of game mastering and thats just one trick. (If you play CS you understand what im saying.

Im also a big Call of Duty fan but i must say after MW2 they will have to change up the formula. The games are still based on a 6 year old formula. A linear enviroment with scripted events and shooting gallerys. But what makes the games good is how they take this formula and make it fun and interesting. They always have one or two of those levels that everyone talks about like in COD1 the chase scene and recently in COD4 the AC130 level and the sniper level.

Call of duty isnt the most innovative Fps but it is one of the most fun. I think MW2 will be the pinnacle of the Call of duty franchise possiblely beat by COD1. I also feel like COD is a game that has an amazing campagin and an amazing multi player experience unlike some other games like halo (im a huge halo fan).

I still definately enjoy the campaign in all the halos but i dont feel like its quite as gripping as the COD games. As far as the multi player i love both of them equally. Halo is more of a pick up and play online experience where as COD is something that takes time to learn and master online.


BTW im picking up COD:MW2 tonight at 12:01 at gamestop along with a buncha redbull and im going on a binge. This is the second game i have felt stoked enough on to do this (Halo 2 was the first)

not to be a dick but I will, but the reason you go 8-16 one game and 30-5 the next is because you suck. jump on a pc and play cal or even just a pick up game on irc running pro-mod and see how much skill it takes. This is what happens with console kiddies and there match making system they play with a bunch of noobs and believe they are good because they play against noobs plain and simple. With the pc we have dedi clan servers so you get to know which ones support good players and which ones support pubs.

my k/d is 1.47 with 5 something days played and has been going up since I got the game (was 1.3 2 months ago). Maybe I don't notice all the games I do well in but when I play poorly it really sticks out and seems like all the time.

either way, 10 am tomorrow morning shit is going down. if anyone is going to be playing online then add me, gt is r4ndy moss

not going to lie, i'm not that good a search and destroy, and I'm not going to make up stories of how good I am, and the fact that I've probably played search for a totally of 2 of those 15 days. Search is fun and usually the best competition but most of the time I can't stand waiting once you die.

3 more hours!

Someone talked about the scripted action.  I have to admit that is an obvious weakness, and I expect the next one to be like Crysis (but more fun) if IW wants to compete.

both amazing games, first left for dead was lots of fun and im sure the second will be even better... but theres no way that its better then CoD, online playing is some of the best out there. Left 4 dead will be amazing at first but youll proabably get bored of it

You are running along and at a certain point the truck next to you blows up. That is a scripted moment. Crysis was more like Far Cry Instincts. The levels are somewhat linear but you get to choose how you go about getting shit done.

Crysis/Far cry 2 is like- see that place over there... yeah wayyyy over there.  Head in that direction and you will get there.  Huge open environment, loads of detail, what happens is up to you.  Do you want to go balls out and throw bitches with your hands?  Do you want to snipe a whole group out from a mile away?  Something in-between?

COD is like somewhat of a corridor shooter, meaning there is one, or only a few ways to go about doing something.  They admitted it in a review I saw, though they said they worked extra hard to give you that free feeling, and they do a very good job with the scripted action.

That's why I expect the next one to be like Crysis/FC2, but it doesn't have to be as open.  It would be foolish not to consider doing it that way.

from the gameplay footage of mw2 i've seen it seems to work the scripted scenes into the more free environment, like the scene where soap knifes the dude off the snowmobile and things like that

earlier in that mission tho it seems to be a big map where you can approach the mission any way you please. its still very much of a specific outcome, you don't influence the rest of the campaign like in far cry or even gta

lots of clans trying to boost and get as high as possible. you shouldn't have too much of a problem since this game matches more on rank and by now the real serious ones are probably 30+ by now

In hardcore on the PC version of the last one you could die from one shot from every gun. Pistols took two shots really fast unless you were right next to the guy.
