Some never-seen-before campaign scenes, so be careful about spoils.
Can't believe I'm going to say this but the game actually looked pretty good from that review, the SP at least.
Oh, I see you took it down.

Anyone know when the proper reviews for the game are out? Presume there is an embargo, but have not been anything on the usual sites stating when they will be releasing theirs.

Beat the campaign on Veteran last night. Great, great, AAA, experience. Absolutely loved it. Took me 11.5 hours; and no, I did not rush through it. I was transfixed; couldn't pull myself away!

tell me more
MortalMonkey said:
Can you comment on the difficulty of Veteran this time out? And does the difficulty come from the same things that made Call of Duty 4's campaign tough (infinitely respawning enemies, frustrating choke points) or has that stuff been toned down in favor of more routine difficulty scaling?
And how much to have your copy overnighted to me? Would $100 get it done? Doubt it. $125?

That's how you access a greater amount of people. Same thing Blizzard did with WoW.
Just read some more story stuff. The plotlines are fucking ridiculous.
Call of Duty 4 was incredibly "noob friendly" too. There was still an insane disparity between high level players and the average player.
But speaking of MP footage, here's one of the best videos I've seen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7fmS9YppzQ

Ridiculous as in awesome? or ridiculous as in ridiculously stupid? (no spoilers please)

I'm more concerned that MP will become a clusterfuck. I haven't watched the videos but, with all the new perks/kill streaks and what not, I just have a hard time seeing it all coming together with out exploits and chaos. I can only hope it isn't broken.

I wouldn't expect a great story from a CoD game anyway, however I did enjoy Big Red One's story, that game was awesome.

So this game (SP) will definitely be carried by its gameplay then, and not by the so called cinematic story that they said. That's a shame, it did however work for Borderlands, not much plot, but was and still is really fun to play.

Thanks.
CrazedArabMan said:
Yeah, I'm fine with that. The story/writing/what have you is the last reason I'm buying this game.
I don't care that the plot is garbage, I just wish it wasn't used as justification for cutting story co-op. The idea that this sub-Michael Bay story would be ruined by cooperative play is ludicrous.

Remember about a month ago when all the MP vids were just coming out, and IW told us there was something left to show us that would make us forget about all the other things we heard? Do we know what that is yet?
Is it the nuke?
Eric WK said:
Hmm those aren't too bad,pretty cheesy but what do people expect from CoD?
It sounds balls to the wall ridiculous and that's a good thing, if the stages are as exciting as the first game and from the snatches i've see they are, i don't care.
Also the guy giving the spoilers said that he rushed through most of the campaign and wasn't paying attention at certain points.Which is the perfect way to try and understand a story.

WTF? He's getting points like candy. Do they give you something less than 100 points for a kill at all?

I've always thought this was strange as well, unless your character is wearing a helmet or something.Stantron said:
Semi-unrelated, but that video made me think of it. Yes, I'm a noob for asking this, but why do so many players bring up the scope when firing a sniper, yet shoot before you can even see what's in the scope. Is it some stupid aim-assist trick that improves accuracy or something?

I haven't seen the character models, but perhaps the characters are wearing goggles or other eyewear?Stantron said:
I think I'm actually going to like this game. I couldn't get into CoD 4 because it just seemed kind of dull. You're a soldier doing regular ass soldier shit in hostile environments. In MW2, you're part of a badass task force, doing crazy, Hollywood-esque stuff. It's not as realistic. It's more exaggerated, and I like that.
I never thought I was ever going to jump on the Call of Duty bandwagon. Is it too late?

Ok, just seeing this as I am catching it from the stream of media citing GAF this morning, so maybe I am late to the party...but this better be ONLY for select playlists, or I will be pissed. I totally understand and agree with it on modes where you are muted from talking to the team after death. However, I constantly use party chat with my actual friends while playing team deathmatch (which is a majority of what we play) and if they just sloppily implemented this throughout the whole game...
I love the party chat while playing with friends for two reasons; one, not having to listen to other people (and idiot, shittalking kids) while carrying on a conversation with friends, and two, when I am talking to my friends, I don't want to hold back because other random people are listening (and when you are talking in the game chat about random things, people tend to tell you to STFU, instead of simply muting you or unplugging their headsets.)
I will go back and read responses since yesterday, but if anyone has more info on this, please direct me to it...
