Nope, thats just a killcam glitch, happens a lot in COD4.

Thats good to know. I do hope we have the option to turn off auto aim in MP though.

 

[Vercingetorix]

I think the Pro versions unlock by getting x amount of kills while using the regular version of the perk. So like the Pro version of Lightweight would be unlocked by running a number of miles with it equipped.

I guess the number of kills can't be that unreasonable or else most of the people in these streams wouldn't have the Pro perks already.

 

[Victrix]

I guess the number of kills can't be that unreasonable or else most of the people in these streams wouldn't have the Pro perks already.

They seem sort of... pointless. They unlock quickly, and just add more power to existing perks.

Dunno. Think I would have preferred a fourth perk slot, or customizable perks to upgraded perks.

I love how 9v9 just isn't enough of a clusterfuck for PC gamers.

I can see some other complaints but the number of players in a team is not one of them. Games are a hell of a lot easier to balance when you focus on a certain number. Its the best for the maps, weapons and perks. I'm sure one of the biggest complaints about CoD4 in spawning is a lot easier to fix when you have a set number of people playing.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Dunno. Think I would have preferred a fourth perk slot, or customizable perks to upgraded perks.

I agree. If they're too easy to unlock, they're pointless. If they're too hard to unlock, they give an unfair advantage to the losers who play 24/7. Either way they don't seem like a good idea.

Personally I'd like Hardcore mode to have no perks at all, just equipment choices.

 

[RebornYeti]

So I severely misread the poster at Gamestop. I thought it said that people who pre-ordered get the game on 11/09/09, but it turns out it said we actually get to play the game early at the Gamestop store.

Oh well, silly me.

[cameltoe]

I'm getting mine tomorrow afternoon.

My XBL tag is Saloo Kaloo if anybody wants to play.



Nope I got a confirmation email saying im getting it tomorrow and a tracking number already.

I also ordered from this dude.....it will be here tomorrow according to UPS tracking

 

[cameltoe]

Hey I used to live there! Right near Portal Plaza and Collins Elementary, haha.

dude, can you disable aim assist in MP? cod 4 did not, W@W did....

 

[kamspy]

Bah, Wednesday.

If I order from this guy do I have any chance at getting it by Saturday?

I'm in Ohio.

 

[Kibbles]

Wow at IW in this interview. :lol

I also ordered from this dude.....it will be here tomorrow according to UPS tracking

Hmm, I got a USPS tracking number, so far it says "There is no record of this item. " but I got the overnight shipping (express).

 

[cameltoe]

Bah, Wednesday.

I'm in Ohio.

I ordered it yesterday @ 530pm CST. I am receiving it tomorrow according to UPS tracking. It showed the 6th but then updated with the 5th. Im in Chicago

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Wow at IW in this interview. :lol

Hmm, I got a USPS tracking number, so far it says "There is no record of this item. " but I got the overnight shipping (express).

USPS tracking is total garbage. You might as well not even bother trying to use it.

 

[diehard]

Why did they not make the "FMJ" attachment at least be "Steelcore"? FMJ is required by NATO, so are they saying that without that you are using Hollow Point, and should be doing more flesh damage?

 

[cameltoe]

Wow at IW in this interview. :lol

Hmm, I got a USPS tracking number, so far it says "There is no record of this item. " but I got the overnight shipping (express).

when did you buy it?

 

[Dolla Dolla]

Hmm, I got a USPS tracking number, so far it says "There is no record of this item. " but I got the overnight shipping (express).

Since it's express, there's a good chance you will get the item before they update the tracking. Check tomorrow morning.

 

[Kibbles]

when did you buy it?

Earlier today. He sent me a message saying "Dear customer, your order shipping today via usps express mail, your tracking number is [...]". That was around 3:20 central time.

Since it's express, there's a good chance you will get the item before they update the tracking. Check tomorrow morning.

:lol Hmm, yeah last time I had USPS tracking it was terrible. UPS is great. It updates quite a bit and even gives you an estimated delivery.

 

[Voltron64]

I heard people were finding copies so I went out and searched...look what I found...

It's safe to go online with this right?

 

[Eric WK]

It's safe to go online with this right?

Oh you motherfucker. Half my friends list is going to have this before me.

Yeah, you can go online fine. Only pirates getting banned, but leaderboards being reset at launch.

 

[Thermite]

Not again. DAMN YOU, VOLTRON! DAMN YOU!! lol

 

[LeMaximilian]

I heard people were finding copies so I went out and searched...look what I found...

It's safe to go online with this right?

Sure is. No way you can get banned for playing a game you purchased. Think of it like this.

Average non internet viewing person buys MW2 early unknowingly. Goes onto Xbox live, days later...is banned. Makes no sense.

First impressions, MW2 is ghadam awesome MP. You don't really notice the hud. Will put up some HD videos later.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Yep. As long as it's legit, you're not getting banned.

Harmonix was actually congratulating people who managed to get Rock Band 2 early last year.

 

[Nardonicus]

For those that are finding the game early...are you finding it at big chains like gamestop or walmart? or local mom and pop shops?

 

[Jokergrin]

I heard people were finding copies so I went out and searched...look what I found...

It's safe to go online with this right?

Where the hell did you find that?

 

[djblackice]

Will have more impressions of SP (PS3 version) tonight.

I hope the MP works for me, as it kept kicking me off and resetting my internet connection. Do you think it's on IW's end trying to keep people off until release date? It just seems odd I keep getting DNS errors with just MW2.


Also, I have 12% of the trophies - some are very cool to get as a nice surprise - won't say which ones

wait until the 9th at around 9:30. at least that's what i've been hearing.

 

[Voltron64]

Thanks guys...I was pretty sure it's safe to go online, I just didn't want to get lumped in with all the pirates. They must have a way to detect a burned copy.

 

[djblackice]

wait until the 9th at around 9:30. at least that's what i've been hearing.

Cool. It's weird because the people playing online don't seem to be having the same problems for the half a minute I am in the lobby with them.

Where did you hear this?

 

[Raxus]

Sucks sitting on my hands for the game I didn't want to order from Ebay since I am all the way from the east coast (Kentucky )

 

[Eric WK]

Same. I live in New York and wasn't going to spend $25 to have it shipped and not get it until Monday or something.

 

[J-Rzez]

Why did they not make the "FMJ" attachment at least be "Steelcore"? FMJ is required by NATO, so are they saying that without that you are using Hollow Point, and should be doing more flesh damage?

That was similar to my question earlier, which tied into a BHD discussion. FMJ is less effective at anti-personnel than hollow points or frangible type ammo's. If you use FMJ, it should reduce killing ability for the added armpen.

If FMJ is the new Deep Impact, than Hollowpoints should be the new stopping power.

 

[hellclerk]

it was something that was floating around that a GS employee apparently mentioned. take it with a grain of salt, but whatever.

 

[PBY]

So... I want to get the middle limited edition, but to my surprise, its nowhere to be found on the GS site... They dont even have the goggles version...What the hell? all they have listed is some weird "veteran statue bundle" that includes a shitty statue plus the game for 140 bucks:lol :lol :lol :lol

seriously, tho, is the le an anti-gs exclusive or something? Its on amazon, but not on GS...


edit: heres the pic of the bundle :lol :lol

Are you European? I don't think the EU SKU ever got the hardened edition. The regular Pres. Ed. is sold out.

 

[PBY]

No, USA

 

[Raxus]

Weird it must be a glitch on the site at the moment.

 

[freitax]

where is eurogaf buying/importing their copy? I made the pre order at shop.to (uk), but now I'm thinking I probably made a mistake, it's cheaper if I import the US version from axelmusic, decision, decisions.

 

[Vercingetorix]

I heard people were finding copies so I went out and searched...look what I found...

Um, how are you finding it? Just asking at retailers and seeing if theyre uninformed enough to sell it?

 

[Raxus]

Most leaks seem to be from Mom and Pop type shops.

 

[Corran Horn]

Um, how are you finding it? Just asking at retailers and seeing if theyre uninformed enough to sell it?

Hope a mom and pop store has
Alot of big chain retailers like Target and Walmart have it in their system to not sell streetdated stuff anymore sadly :/

 

[otakuderek]

Bah, Wednesday.

If I order from this guy do I have any chance at getting it by Saturday?

I'm in Ohio.

I live in Ohio too. I ordered it this afternoon and it has shipped with my tracking saying it will be here tomorrow! What part of Ohio?

A nuclear explosion has NO blast in space, so why the heck is the space station shredded like that?
