They will bother with a new engine when people stop buying them / hardware allows them to upgrade cheap.
It's not like their competition look much better due to having to run on shitbox hardware. BF3 on PC smokes them but not on console and that's their market.

Leagues better than MW3.
What's the consensus on the best anti-aliasing options for the game? I usually just scroll all the way to the right and leave it at that, but I dunno what to do with the TXAA option
V-sync seems to be quite a performance hog. My FPS jumped from 60 to around 100-120 just by disabling that
All you did was release the frame rate lock. :|

So the question begs...PS3 or PC
I love the shimmering effect around objects where there is a smoke or particle effect behind it. Such piss poor work. :/
Play the one your friends are playing. I would jump on the PC version, but all my friends are on PS3, so there's my answer. That's if you plan on playing multiplayer, anyway.
It's like he did not know how vsync works.

Previous post in the thread says yes, and you can even rock multiple PSN accounts this time around. No reason why it was left out of Blops1.

I'm not sure probably not. Send Steam support a message and ask.

Saiga 12 is such a beast, favorite gun in the game and i've never even been much of a shotgunner.

I don't think the weapon levels are working correctly, or maybe I just don't understand how to level weapons now.
Basically I'm using an assault rifle which I would like to unlock attachments for, but after killing dozens of people in a few rounds with that assault rifle, when I click on attachment the bar is still at weapon level one..... what the hell, I want my ACOG here...
any idea what I'm doing wrong here? How do we level weapons now and get attachments?

Win a round of free for all, type GG.
Response: You're level 12 you fucking suck.
Ahhh, COD.

I was pretty much the anti-air support in BO1...will likely reprise that role with this edition.
BEAUTIFUL POINTS!!!

I might just get it if someone, like me, loves MW2 and hated BO and says BO2 is good. Mw2 is my favorite COD to play online. Too bad there are a bit too many hackers online.
I have a question. Does BO2 multiplayer have BO1/MW3 connection or is it like COD4/W@W/MW2 connection? What I mean by connection is lag and how the host works.
MW3 and BO chose the average connection as the host but the older three chose the host with the best connection.
For anyone who's playing on the PC version, can you control all of the menus (start,pause,class selection.....) with the 360 controller?
I'm just wondering because BLOPS 1 had a weird issue where not everything was controllable via the 360 controller and it was more of a hybrid between mouse and controller.

ahhh 3 head shots up close and they just turn around and stab you in the elbow for an instant kill. wb cod
That's the issue my friends and I had / quit with blops, jump someone, empty clip, only to have the guy turn around and kill you. Hoping, it's just a launch problem and not using the same shitty netcode from first one. I bought the game from newegg so won't know until Thursday.

Installing now. You got me like an addict CoD!
I am in the same boat. I hated BO after loving MW2, for a variety of reasons.
I'll post my thoughts on the ps3 version later tonight after I get the chance to play it
Felt "good" to jump on Live last night and hear a chorus of homophobic and racial slurs. Home sweet home.
I only played a few rounds and saw just 3 or 4 maps. Not sure what I think yet. Raid seemed OK.
The gun sounds are much improved. The default SMG sounds awesome.
Nuketown is nuketown. Not a big fan but I get the appeal of the chaos and the chance to quickly get a lot of XP.
Hopefully the quality of matches improves once things settle down. I was playing Kill Confirmed and the game was full of people who weren't bothering with tags... why?
For whatever reason I usually find more reliable teams in Ground War.
Oh, and I'll be curious to see how this game sells compared its predecessors. I picked it up from a local Gamestop and there was a line of around 120 people at midnight. That seemed kind of low? They had everyone in line out of there by around 12:45.

Do it.
After a bit of a rough start I am now enjoying the game quite a bit.
Damn, sexy screen.

Just got it. Was hoping to avoid a line by coming in at 10am but nope...40+ (360)
Funny that 360 was sold out, PC was sold out, and they had an additional 50 copies for PS3.

So what are the initial impressions of this game? This is the first COD since COD1 that I didn't buy on release date (with the obvious exception of COD3), so I'm kind of interested to see where opinions are falling. At this point I have such extensive COD fatigue that I'm wary to jump into this game.
I'm in the same boat as you in some respects. From what I've gathered on here and the net, it seems it's good, but not great. It fixes a lot of issues for kill streak problems, but on the flip side I see complaining about the spawn system being atrocious.
I'm also reading networking issues and what seems to be hit detection issues again.
By no means am I convinced to go buy this today...
It's definitely still COD, maybe wait a week and check what opinions are like once the polish has rubbed off a little.

1/2 this thread is PC impressions. Read then post.
MW2 had the best menu music, everything since hasn't been very good.

Is it just me or is one of the factions spawn theme a direct ripoff of the Spetsnaz theme in MW2.
