Yes the ending is pretty good isn't it ... not what you expect anyway. :wink:
I'm gonna try the veteran difficulty today, if I can tear myself away from the special ops (which is brilliant in two player with a mate).
I may have no control over the length of my life, but the depth & width is entirely up to me.

The more I play the multi player the happier I am becoming with this.

Not going to say I think its better than 4 just yet but its starting to look that way with the amount of options for different load outs and the level designs.

I love all the attachments for guns, unlocked all of them for the M4 last night and and 8O I'm like a child who has been given to many presents at Christmas.

Love the heart beat sensor, especially when fighting room to room :D

all the scopes seem fairly nifty except the thermal which seems a bit pants due to extreme zoom.

Unlocked the AA 12 :wub: and that's a secondary weapon "Oh ambassador you are really soiling us" I think the term is!

I think It seems fairly sniper pro and friendly at the mo:

Good secondary weopons on offer as back up.
A range of scopes,
taking away excess frag grenades for those bastard cricket players .
The more detailed environments; I'm keeping still when I hear people coming now and in my gilly suit they walk right past.
Some bloody large out door maps. lots of foliage.
TBO I find it easier to get kill streaks doing this than playing chuck Norris.
the scavenger perk :wub:

Also, I think Headless chicken mode is in order at the moment because people don't know the maps and are reacting to that. I think / hope things will calm down once people get to the LvL 30's , know the levels, claymores and full weapon load attachments.

I still have to go and finish the single player!

Care Packages are interesting. I've discovered - the hard way - not to drop them (a) while inside (b) near the edge of a building or (c) while near the edge of a cliff. Some players are using them as bait I've seen. Good for the sniper contingency...

No way you should by this game for the single playing. It is only 5 hours long. That so so short. So this game is for multiplayer only.

Honestly, I don't really understand this 'more content = better content' mentality.. It may be possible to 'complete' the single player campaign mode in 5 hours, but the gameplay is polished, tight and focussed. There is no filler material, and the levels are clearly built to be enjoyed over and over again. Factor in the brilliant Spec Ops mode, which really is a great experience, and there are plenty of reasons to buy MW2 - that's before even factoring in the stellar multiplayer.

There's always renting the thing, too...

Not sure what gravy's 'sugar daddy' comment is about, but it seems jarringly personal for a thread about a game.

Apart from the skiddoo racing (especially the downhill bit) and the run through the favela unarmed section, obviously. So that's leess than halfway through and two completely annoying (and pointless) bits so far. And I'm not convinced that the airport scene wasn't there just for the controversy - it was hardly a challenge, after all.

Still, we now know why Soap got his name. He keeps some in his hands at all times, in case he needs an excuse for not catching a team-mate. He's dropped me twice so far, the dozy git.
