Modern Warfare 2

I cant stand this exclusive crap when a game has been out for nearly 6-7 months already and sold millions of copies. All it does is tick off the other fan base, I can see like you know if the game and map pack were released the same day but this is really stupid. Does microsoft really think someone is gonna run out and buy a whole system because certain DLC is theres for 3 weeks?

not a ps3 fanboy or bot or whatever they call them, I just want to play it.

They are in the business of making money. Microsoft obviously paid up a lot of money to get the DLC exclusive.

It's the same with what happened to Batman: Arkham Asylum. The PS3 got all the cool exclusive features.

It's swings and roundabouts.

That'll happen when you first play it.

Coming as a surprise to no one, more employees leave Infinity Ward.

Considering XBox Live costs like $60 a year, they're buying the timed exclusive rights for their customers.

It may not make anyone buy a 360 for content that's going to be released in 3 weeks, but it's certainly more incentive for people to buy a 360 over a PS3.

I wouldnt doubt that once all is said and done, IW is left with nothing but a shell of its former self. It looks as tho Activision really screwed things up this time. IW is one of, if not Activisions top dev team and it appears as tho Activision is pushing them out the door. Smart move idiots. Hopefully, the IW members will create their own dev team and get picked up by another publisher that doesnt completely suck.

Um, no.

I played a bit of "Crash" at my friends place over the weekend, despite using the massive Xbox controller I still managed to get a chopper gunner. Man, I can't wait to play these maps at home, I already have my 20 dollar PSN card ready to go.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I watched Kick Ass yesterday, it was awesome.

Spoiler

There is a part where Hit Girl storms this place with night vision goggles, a hand gun and a tac knife. It's siiiick. Blatant parody of CoD.

Haha if you think the 360's controller is massive, then you must have b**ch hands.

He's that guy from those BK double cheeseburger commercials.

Well you say stupid **** in half your posts, so you must be an idiot. I'm used to a PS3 controller

I want an Xbox 360, but it would make my hands look even smaller.

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I have big hands, so a 360 controller is fine for me.

At least they're not like the original xbox controllers. Those were massive, but once again, big hands.

I remember the only time I ever played with an original X-Box controller was such an odd experience. I remember when he said hit the black button and I had to let the controller go so I could reach it. It was like using a honey baked ham for a controller. The 360 controller is great and I still love the fell of the PS2/3 and I'm glad PS3 didn't go with that boomerang look of a controller like they originally wanted to

Oh my god why did you mention that? It took me until way after the PS3 came out to block that image out my mind. Those were the ugliest and most unusuable-looking controllers ever.

My god look at that thing, you'd have to dislocate a finger to hit the black and white buttons without letting go of the controller.

Ya know, as I'm playing through the story mode...the game's singleplayer isn't so bad. I mean, the storytelling is pretty ****** between missions because it's just not interesting to see a map and listen to (excellent, mind you) voice acting. But, the set pieces thus far have been awesome.

I think some of them throw you for a loop, because you get rather serious levels in the first two out the gate, by being in Afghanistan...and of course the airport level...and then you get very very fun, and very cinematic-action film-esque levels that are nothing short of great and fantastical (both story wise and level wise).

Soap is badass, btw.

I know all of this has been covered here before, but I just recently got the game and I find myself enjoying the single player and the multiplayer as well, a helluva lot more than I thought I would at first. I think the MW2 single player campaign is so far upping the ante on COD4...atleast in setpieces.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea the single player in MW 2 is much more spectacular. But i dunno, I found it shorter and easier for the most part.

Still pretty sick though.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I dunno, I heard alot of people couldn't get past the Favella level.

It's a bit more fair, I'd say. I played through COD4 on Veteran...and there were times where it felt impossible. I seriously thought I'd break my TV at some points. I'm finding MW2 to be easier on Veteran, but I think it's because there aren't this infinite number of spawning troops tossed at you and the recovery rate feels quicker, so I think those two factors make it easier for anyone who made it out alive in COD4 on Veteran.

Again, some fantastical levels that seem inspired by badass action sequences in action movies. Very Tom Clancy-esque. It's a bit odd to see some of these clearly over-the-top action film sequences take place in the same breath as something as serious as the airport level.
