i really love the multiplayer in this game. I got to level 25 before I realised you could edit your killstreak rewards, and that just made it all the better. The Harriers are fucking awesome. It really does seem like they've tried to overcome every single little complaint that people had about COD4, for example the fact that if you have a helicopter you can't use because there is already one in the air, it goes into a queue and puts it up for you when it can so you can carry on playing and not just lie somewhere frantically tapping the d-pad. And having all the different aerial attacks is great.

Say bye to 'nade spamming boys!!! :D

Any PC gamers play it yet? Thoughts?
I played COD4 on both xbox and PC, and i'm still not 100% certain which one I want to get (leaning towards PC, though)

Sigz said that Steam doesn't unlock the game until tomorrow, don't know about any person who bought the physical copy.

I think I actually managed to over play this game today... between all the online, and multiplayer with my roommates, I probably have over 12 hours on it since launch. I'm putting the controller down for a while.

Yep. No one who bought the PC version, steam or physical copy, is able to play the game because it needs to run through steam, which still has it locked.

Ha! I suck at the MP - I've played too much Halo 3 and am not used to the 'quickness' of MW2 - sure I tried with cod4 but it didn't suck me in ala Halo - I think I will dedicate more time to this as the maps are really good.

It's only if you want to start over from scratch in favor of getting a new emblem besides your level.

When you get to the end of the ranking system, you can start over.

Basically it's extreme nerdage, seeing as you can do it up to ten times, and many do.

I did it like 3 or 4 times on CoD5.

And just to add even more shit to this entire thing, it looks like IW stole a bunch of source material from various Cod4 mods, namely the X4 mod:

Quote
This is going to be big news for most...that is, for those who have never heard of a community CoD4 mod called X4 (mycallofduty.com).

Allegedly, Modern Warfare 2 will have a tactical nuke as a Killstreak of 25. Welcome to MW2...or is it X4?  The following pic was tweeted on Twitpic by randomalec today:

Many of our hardcore PC readers will already know that the X4 (eXtreme mod for CoD4) mod from mycallofduty.com (PST*Joker's site) had a working Tac Nuke a year ago.

That I know of, there is still no formal recognition of the modders that influenced the nuke, the controllable AC130, the knife-throw, the spawn protection, air drops...the list is growing. When asked for to comment on the discovery that yet another X4-like feature is in MW2, a disconsolate PST*Joker had this to say:

"Half the PC players, All of the Xbox and PS3 players, can now know what mods can do for a game.  They will all get the opportunity to see exactly what WE have been doing over the years and what kind of servers WE have been creating"

Buster, from TheCompanyHub.com had a slightly more sardonic take:

"Jokers AC130. Jokers Nukes. My Winter Ghillie Suit and uniforms. My idea posted on Bowling's blog 1 year ago about the KRISS Weapon system. Lol! What's next our Gamer Tags? Our Wives? Maybe they will steal our idea about dedicated servers..."

https://bashandslash.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=772&Itemid=111

They also used at least one map (the Pripyat map) from a mapping contest they held for COD4, which resulted in no winners.

Wow.

So my copy came in the mail much earlier than expected, so I've been playing it quite a bit today. Almost done with the campaign, but I think I shall take a break from it for now. I haven't touched the multiplayer all that much yet, and my brother is hogging my xbox at the moment.

I do find it bullshit though that you can't be in party chat when in a team deathmatch game.
I felt its length in quite a few places.

There were prestige modes in CoD4? Or console only? I know there were in CoD5, I'm currently on prestige 3, it's a nice feature since it's possible to start again on the same profile after getting bored with having lvl65 and everything unlocked (at least I'm like that, having Brownings and stuff is fun, but after some time, I decide that it's fun to start just with the basic weapons and perks again).

As for the PC version news and the mod "inspiration", thank you to the person who invented this one: :lolpalm:

Stopping Power is awesome!! Martyrdom is now a deathstreak, if they kill you 4 straight time, THEN you released martyrdom and no Frag x3 either.

But, only one Claymore?!?! Come on!!!!


BTW, anyone else having problems trying to get into multiplayer? Now it doesn't even finish downloading all my settings and ranks!

Same here Dimi, I wanted to check how much my ranking went down, I was 17,000 in score last night :hat

One claymore? YESSS. Suck it, campers.

I only ever used claymores when I'm sniping, which in my book is not camping. But looks like the 1.02 download has fucked up the multiplayer!

So far the multiplayer has been pretty bittersweet for me. While I like the overall new look of the game, and the gameplay is still rather fun, there is a good number of things that feels dumbed down or just plain unecessary. I also am disappoint that some of the weapons from CoD4 didn't make it into this one, such as the G36C.

Elaborate.

And agreed on the G36C, that was a fun weapon.
