Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare II

lead our targets? like in aim ahead of them as they move?

[aureole]

I think he means apply a generous dose of lead.

[Flabio]

Do they still use lead in bullets? I thought all the cool countries used depleted uranium these days?

[louiecat]

ah.

I have the day off and the game is just sitting at my wife's office, which is closed for the day.

One thing that bugs me as a relative noob to MP in COD - everyone runs all the time and is more like a game of robotron sometimes. When I used the sniper rilfe and just buckled down somewhere quiet, you find yourslef well out of the action, where the only option is run and gun all the time....

I felt the same about MW1. Private servers are the way forward. Small map, hardest setting (no HUD), then you get a really tense game where sound is hugely important. You daren't fire your weapon because everyone knows where you are. That's why I don't like the killstreaks system, because it turns it into Serious Sam.

WaW had hardcore free for all, which was my favourite mode. No huds, and 90% of the time, one shot = one kill. Headless chickens don't last long in that one.

Just wandered down to the commercial center with the thought that I 'may' pick this up now rather than wait until I'm over in the UK at christmas. Then I saw the price €70 Fuck me, that's taking the piss a little isn't it?

UK copy it is then.....

Christ this is good - not even tried SP yet but the multiplayer is .... just ... awesome. Loving the airport map, loving the fact you can use a proper british gun (the LSW). Has anyone got a 25 killstreak yet (supposed to be a match-winning tactical nuke )

Got the PS3 version today. Was asked to downloaded patch v1.2, played the game for an hour and gained a few trophies... but but now the dreaded trophy synch error is reported.

Have googled for guidance; tried deleting the patch and synching; then re-downloading the patch but still no-go.

Grrrr. Anyone else getting this problem?
Cheers.

Finished SP on regular, took about 6 hours all in. Working my way through now on hardened (well you have to really as completing it on regular is only 50% complete in their eyes!) and it's getting 'interesting' now to say the least.

I'm only about 30% of the way though second time though and taking my time to look for the Intel laptops etc. A couple of them were pretty obscure already so I'm not looking forward to trying to track them down in the later levels!

Getting exactly the same thing - the trophies are now working but are not being displayed on my profile - so yet again Sony screw up on day of release. They really need to get this fixed soon!

Am I really the only one in the world to 'not be getting this?' - Its little more than a MOD for Call of Duty 4.

Overhyped yet again - how much are the games companies paying magazines these days for scores of 100? I don't think there is a game out there yet - past or present - that deserves 100!!!

[louiecat]

it is jolly good fun though.

[Zzap64!]

it is jolly good fun though.

I agree - it is good fun. But why the range of 95-100 scores everywhere?! Surely standards are dropping? Or bribes are getting bigger?!

[korruptor]

Completed it last night. Fucking brilliant. Really really enjoyed the last 2 hours and thankfully the bias leans a bit more towards the SAS.

Couple of nice surprises in there at the end
