Is there a Stalker (from MW3) equivalent in this game? Stalker was the only reason I was good at MW3.

The adjustable stock weapon attachment is this game's equivalent.

Questions for those with the game:

Maps - Please continue detailed impressions. How is the verticality? Do most buildings have a second floor? How many entrances into each area?.

A bunch of entrances into rooms and plenty of buildings have upstairs.

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.

Anyone? Really want to know, still contemplating on getting it.

Yes you can.

 

[Detox]

How did the shadow get a boner?

 

[Adamm]

Ugh, I really hope all this disconnecting is just because its the first day of release. I seem to get disconnected from more games than I get to finish

 

[Xamdou]

How many multiplayer maps?

Is the Scar still in the game?

The game have a nuke kill streak?

14 maps if I recall correctly.

 

[schwabdizzle]

I am just gonna point out the obvious and say the COD servers on PS3 are garbage. It keeps saying "needs more players to balance teams" when there lobby is full. ABSOLUTELY FUCKING ANNOYING.

 

[Snuggles]

Nice creepshots, Dennis.

I can't get 10 seconds into a game without dropping.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Did you get consent for those?

 

[The Elite]

Picked up the 360 version but still considering a switch to PC.

 

[Punkster_NY]

I can't get 10 seconds into a game without dropping.

what version do you have?

 

[Adamm]

Yep, spends about 10 minutes finding a game and "balancing teams" then 1 minute into the game you get disconnected.

 

[Ardenyal]

what version do you have?

PS3.

 

[Empty Space]

There's still a SCAR in this game, but it might not behave the same way since there is different AR that already has a slow fire rate, but really high damage.

Anybody found a way to turn off mouse acceleration yet?

 

[Realyn]

Only 25k people playing on PC/Europe? That doesn't look much for release day evening.

 

[cleveridea]

So are there any futuristic weapons or are all the guns like regular modern day shooters?

Saw a couple video reviews and although there were some future tech visible in things like mechs and cloaking, the guns themselves seemed to be the same as in any modern shooter.

It was fun in Halo 4 for example using the promothean weapons since although fitting into conventional weapon types (shotgun, sniper etc) they felt and looked pretty different and interesting/futuristic/high tech.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Ha! I just want to go home and play but I have a ruby on rails project to finish . Stupid school.

 

[JB1981]

PS3 version here , been playing non stop for 5 hours and had no problems what so ever , Think you people just say shit just to moan and fit in.

haha

 

[Absoludacrous]

Man, they really went out of their way to fuck over ghost/assassin players, especially in the beginning.

 

[rezuth]

Not that impressed with multiplayer yet, only level 12 so far though. I do love Turbine but I've only gotten to play it once

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Man, they really went out of their way to fuck over ghost/assassin players, especially in the beginning.

How? I was never a fan of ghost so I'm pretty happy about this. What exactly have they done though?

 

[Fistwell]

The SMG hipfire in this game is so amazing. I used the assault rifles a few times, but the maps for the most part seem to favor the SMG rushing style. Dextery combined with the lightweight perk is an amazing combo.

Yeah, SMG hipfire feels kind of OP right now. Started out using ARs, switched to SMG and never went back. Rush/flank/sneak w/ suppressed SMG works fantastic on small maps.

Spoiler

my kd still sucks

Edit: lol creepshots.

I do love Turbine

*brofist*

 

[Relix]

Very shitty graphics, very disappointed in them. Everything is so blurry, at least it maintains 60fps most of the time.

 

[Ardenyal]

400k on PS3... Guess they didn't expect quite that many, servers are getting hammered hard at least here in EU.

 

[fozzy]

I'm very happy with the performance and game in general (xbox mp)

See what happens when you stray from your PC utopia?

*sniff* but the gamepad *sniff*

 

[Absoludacrous]

Moved everything wayyyy down the unlock path. Everything from silencers to ghost itself takes forever.

They also moved what's usually 2 perks to at least 3. Though if I remember right, BO1 did that too.

 

[protonion]

Yeah. Ps3 Europe here and I can't play... At least I got it early and got a few hours of mp. It'll be fine in a couple of days as usual.

It's 2025. Technology doesn't advance that quickly. Hell, we're still using post WWII weapons today in some cases.

 

[omonimo]

Well..

Installed the texture pack on the PS3 version...still, in my eyes, not very "crisp", looks very soft and hazy.

Also...it be nice to, connect to a game, stay connected, and not be signed out of PSN completely every few maps.

Guess I'll try later tonight.



I bought the 360 and PS3 version, both said on the back of the box "Nuketown 2025 included"

I could wrong but ps3 version seems use a sort of QAA but with better edge covering... could be the same TXAA selectable on pc , in the ps3 version? The murkier appearence is something beyond the simple sub hd, npc in the distance for example, appears strangely softly, like QAA. In any case, there is something of "unique" in the AA solution, but not seems simple post/custom AA.

 

[Tomat]

Man that is some straight up apologist bullshit right there. They've been advertising the game as being futuristic and all that, they damn well better put some futuristic weapons in there.

 

[Uno Venova]

Funny how it was quicker to just walk in and pick up the game instead of hassling with pre orders at best buy, they need to work that out, I'm liking the game so far.

 

[Fantasmo]

Game is great so far. No complaints. I loved MW2 but this might take the crown. Guns feel great. Game looks good on 360 and really smooth. Theatre mode seems to be stuck on by default but I don't feel it at all lagwise. Everyone is still early levels though so this can all change.

 

[Brian Fellows]

I guess this is the benefit of playing no other games besides COD. I have nothing to compare the game to so it looks great to me.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

You can use one on a pc.

 

[Fistwell]

Only 25k people playing on PC/Europe? That doesn't look much for release day evening.

Steam says 48K right now.

 

[Brian Fellows]

I do miss the bigger display when you got a kill. But I'll get used to it.

 

[Liferebooted]

Is there a way to turn off match recording online ?

 

[The Last Wizard]

I pre ordered at gamestop and didn't get nuketown wtf, nothing in the case, and the codes arent working on the site.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Playing campaign, Hudson started talking, not Ed Harris voice at all

 

[Tomat]

Anyone go from Halo 4 to Blops 2? How do they compare?

 

[nbraun80]

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.

As a longtime COD player who might be suffering from fatigue as well, I'm not to impressed and mostly just angry at this game.

Maps- many I just blah, lots of brown and green and nothin' to memorable at this point. And some are just annoying, mainly the ship on, which is basically nuketown on a boat.

Sounds- most of the guns sound like small firecrackers going off and them silenced just sound silly. Also I have a turtlebeaches on and its extremely hard to hear footsteps unless you're completely standing still.

Graphics - not bad, but after playing halo 4 and seeing what you can squeeze out of the 360, they're starting to look dated.

Menus - im not one to usually complain at menus but honestly I find them absolutely horrible. After 4-5 of learning the menus and barracks and create a class they decide to change it all, really? Its not sleek and simple, just bulky and confusing. I had no idea hoe to change camp until my buddy told me and it just blows my mind that you can go from simple small text menus to this crap.

Spawning- trust my i know they're bad in all COD games, but is it so hard to develop an intelligent spawning system? im just getting so tired of people directly up my butt when i spawn.

 

[Liferebooted]

Anyone go from Halo 4 to Blops 2? How do they compare?

Theyre nothing alike... at all.

 

[legacyzero]

I havn't even played MP yet

 

[Atruvius]

It's Michael Keaton. He has a nice enough voice but they should have stuck with Ed Harris.
