Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare II

[The ghost of raids past]

Maybe £55 retail, but I preordered from amazon when they had it on at 39.99. £55 is taking the piss though, I cant see it stopping the thing selling in the hundreds of thousands though.

£55? Fuck that for a game of soldiers.

[PVB]

got to be a big steaming pile of plastic wank, they cannot work for £65.00promo kit.

It's just going to be some Infra-Red LEDs and an IR Filter isn't it rather than proper night vision. i.e. yeah, it'll be a toy and nowt else. Certainly no good for PVB on one of his Lorraine Kelly night hunts.

I'll give them a try and report back.

Which looks fucking AWESOME. Customisable killstreaks. Controllable C130 killstreak. Does this mean that the helicopter would be controllable as well? And whats in the 14 OTHER killstreaks?

[korruptor]

WANT!

Talent to include Fiddy Cent as the multiplayer voice

Airstrike ready, biatch.

Watch to the end. Theres a couple of bits of niceness in there:

(1) Riot shields.
(2) Knife throwing - betcha this is a 'grenade'. Silent kills here we come.
(3) Host Migration - take that you evil scumbag disconnecters.

I wonder if they will include a 'terrorist zombies' mode a la WaW?

Killstreak things from there:
UAV at 3 (yawn)
Airdrop at 4
Predator Missile at 5 (presumably a Hellfire fired from a UAV)

That would be nice if it cleared out a whole building with a screaming fire ball popping out of every window.


that all looks great, a little bit worried the screen is starting to get a bit busy with information. Still shit at the RB prompt to chuck back grenades.

A rather excrutiatingly 'cool' breakdown of that vid here. Highlights some of the new weapons, which include the AA-12

Don't watch it if you're over 30 though, grandad.

Well thats my wish from last year included. Anyone carrying one will be dead meat to snipers but anyone in range is reduced to a bloody pulp if they're lucky.

Thats if Carlsberg made a FPS I think, I wish. It will 'probally' be 'just' a big explosion at the specified point.

Aye. A lot does show up - we don't really know how its going to behave until we play it. HOPEFULLY some options to reduce clutter will appear.

It does look bloody spectacular. I suspect I'm not going to buy another game this year.
