is this worth buying just for single player? I won't play multiplayer as I don't have time and can't play regularly to get online with friends.
I like CoD2 and appreciate this is mostly a scripted duck shoot (thanks JB1981) but is it a *fun* scripted duck shoot?
Or is it more a rental title for single player only? play through once and never go back?

oh STFU.
When you have both consoles you want to be informed about the differences between the 2 versions not matter how minute they are.
People said the same shit about the DArkness and the differences turned out be huge IMO.
what is wrong with being informed?
Kabuki Waq said:
agree. Sometimes these 'both are the same' posters are more annoying than 'mine is better than yours'.
Whats so great about them both being the same? We're congratulating lack of ambition now?
I'd like to know even if the differences are small. I have a PS3 and a 360. If the sound is much better on eg the PS3 I'd consider that one as I have a nice setup for HDMI PCM. If the rumble adds to the experience in a meaningful way then maybe I'd choose the 360 one.
I don't want to have an arbitrary choice - surely there are some things in each version that eventually would sway me one way or the other. I don't mind which way, but saying 'both are the same' sounds like a cop-out to me.

I've been a sleep so I'm a bit behind.
Have we found out what was that "special something" PS3 users were gonna get?

Did anyone else notice some mistakes in the IGN video review?
-In reference to one of the vehicle missions, the reviewer says that it is eerie because your pilot will say stuff like: "Boom.....blew that one up". That seems more for a comedic effect than for eeriness, but I could be wrong.
-In reference to the campaign length and the replay value with arcade mode, the reviewer says "Even though it is relatively short, you're probably going to play through it at least once". Well no shit, the same could be said for every game out there. Now, if the reviewer was trying to say that the campaign has high replay value because of arcade mode, he should have said that most people will probably play through this multiple times.
-The reviewer talks up the "sabotage" game type, but completely glazes over the fact that it is almost exactly like one-bomb on Halo (at lease from the reviewer's descriptions of sabotage).
-In reference to the "deep penetration" perk, the reviewer states that it makes your bullets travel through walls faster. I might just be nitpicking, but I thought that it increased your ability to shoot through walls and increased the damage that those bullets deal out. To me, his description of "makes your bullets go through walls faster" doesn't really make any sense.
I might just be splitting hairs, but I though that this video review was very amateurish for a major gaming site like IGN.

I'm not believing the "both versions are the same" mantra anymore after the Darkness and GRAW 2 PS3 fiascos. I want to know the best bet to put my money without having to buy the two versions myself, that's all. Thanks God there're still GAF members who understand this.

I've been reading along pretty regularly, so if this has been discussed, sorry. But have people had any lag online? Which version [I have both consoles, so I'm thinking about which one I should buy]?
I'm feeling pretty burned by my Team Fortress 2 experience--five consecutive lag-outs after the patch--so I want to get some more feedback before jumping in this time.

Probably meant eerie as in "eerily realistic", a lot of the publicly released guncam footage has that kind of commentary from the pilots. A combination of adrenaline and morbid humour that is needed to do that kind of job.

See Full Metal Jacket. That scene with the heli gunner isn't meant to be funny; it's meant to be revealing.

yeah....I watched the video review and I too found the "guncam footage" to be more eerie and unsettling than well....fun looking =/
.....I see shit like that often being in the military and dunno....just not into it

tempted by the PS3 version due to symmetrical sticks. Tempted by the 360 version as it doesn't have slippery nipples and the triggers are better and it has rumble. Tempted by the PS3 version just to give it some love.
fuck it, i'll get whichever is cheaper, or whichever I see first on the way through the shop door.

Lince said:
Only on gaf can "fiasco" be used to describe less AA in The Darkness's case and "enhanced environmental effects" in GRAW 2's case on PS3.
Say what you will about The Darkness, but there were no major problems in GRAW 2, at all. A few reviews even mentioned improved framerate and environmental effects.

They said you won't even notice with all the shit going on. Can't speak from personal experience.
belvedere said:
that's wrong on both accounts, after renting and playing through the PS3 version of GRAW 2 I can honestly say the framerate in Campaign mode was much, much worse than the 360 ver (specially in the later levels) and it lacked some effects, I didn't touch the MP though.
back on topic:

what about framerate? thanks
