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...

Why?

Huh? To allow for more nuance in the rewards. For example, a triple kill nets the player 75 bonus points. Under the old system this wouldn't be possible.

The leveling requirements have been increased proportionately. I don't understand what the problem is.

With the game being leaked and all, do we know how long the single player campaign is?
Click to expand...

I have not seen much talk (but honestly, have not looked much) but I have seen a few different people say 10+...if true, that would be hella impressive, considering MW's was about 6.

The MP is a complete mess and no dedicated servers so if the single player isn't a total bust it might actually be worth it.

Get a console, and those problems go away :lol

Yeah, I know...I don't want to be flamed...

I heard the exact opposite: that the SP was about the same length than MW's, and thus, between 6-8 hours. I guess it depends on the difficulty you are playing. Most COD vets will begin on Hardcore, and probably will get around 10+ hours out of the SP.

Harbor remake?

Couldnt really tell, but that would be cool. What part of the map do you think it is? I didnt think it looked like Harbor but I could definitely be wrong.

I'm buying it primarly for the sp. The footage from the review was on par with my expectations. The mp looks too much like a mess and the hud is atrocious. Hopefully someone re-engineers it on pc.

It actually is one week now before release date, then an official thread can go up.
Click to expand...
When did they change it? The last few games to be released such as R&C and Uncharted 2 have all had there threads up two weeks in advance. Is this a relatively new rule or what? I'm just curious for future reference fyi.

Are you sure, I know the ODST thread, Operation Flashpoint, Borderlands, etc... were all up only a week before, that's been the rule for a while I believe.

It's not a new rule, it just wasn't being enforced 100%.

Alot of people still fail to realise that not everyone goes online...we gamers do but the average buyer of games are still on the single player offline experience.

I think it happened very recently, like within the last two weeks.

EDIT: never mind

Ahh, makes sense. I was going to say almost every thread I've seen since I started visiting here in like 2006 had been up two weeks prior to release.

The console versions don't have dedicated servers either, brains.
Click to expand...

Then what is the big deal?

Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't recall CoD4 on consoles having dedicated servers, and I never had any issues.

The only reason I said that was because most of the "no dedicated servers" crying that I have heard was on the PC side, so I thought that is what he was referring to...

Because there are over 10 million people on the Xbox 360 multiplayer leaderboards.

Yes, I'm sure most people only play the single player.

I wasn't talking about a majority. I was talking about some people who buy the games for the single player experience and enjoy the MP as an afterthought. That's how every game I've ever bought works.

Perhaps for you. I've never bought a COD for it's single player after going through the first 2.

IIRC IW released stats that only 30% or so actually went online with CoD4.

Its not surprising really...Nintendo is rewarding people who hook other Wii owners up to online.

Okay. That's great.

I wasn't replying to any comment about your purchasing and playing habits. I was replying to a post that said most people only play the single player.

As someone posted above statistics showed only about 30% of people played CoD4 online so I guess I'm not alone.

Edit* Unless that number is completely made up.

I just don't understand how you can have 10m XBL accounts on the leaderboards, but yet only 30% of people played it online. So, 33m people played the single-player portion of CoD4 just on 360? I doubt that.

I edited my post. I was under the impression that he had some data to back that up.

No, there's no way. Even accounting for people with multiple gamertags, you're still looking at 25+ million people on a single platform.

the average online vs offline for RTS games is somewhere around 5-10% people who do play online and 90-95% who don't
FPS games are a lot more "noob friendly" but still I don't think that the % would go over 30-40%

a lot of people just try it without playing more than once or twice
