I remember in W@W Ground War online play, I'd always lag right after respawn for a couple of seconds. This would happen even if I had a full bar connection. Was that just me, or did they happen to anyone else?

Just saw a commercial for Modern Warfare 2 using Eminem's 'Till I Collapse as the background music... interesting.

So have pixel counters determined if this is 720p? I can't tell the difference between 640p (or whatever it was) and 720p, but MW2 looks sharper.

A store down the block from me is selling this game. For 70 bucks. Crazy shit. The store is in Staten Island if anyone wants to know.

Definitely can't wait to finally delve in to this one. I know a couple buddies that actually booked off two or three days just to play the game... though I didn't go that far.

I just hope that after grabbing one of the sale copies off of Futureshop that they have same day delivery, it'll be killer if I have to wait all next week for it to finally show up.

I told my friends about all these mom and pop stores selling it early and they've been driving around here for 3.5hrs now trying to find one to sell it early. Unfortunately for them, we don't have many (as in 3) here in NE PA and most of them close early. :lol

Seems like NYC is a hot spot for selling this early.

TBH though, if all these stores, including the privately owned M&P stores got it already, what harm is there in it to sell it early. Just let ALL the retailers go on it. Hell, my friend told me they had these boxes for over a week now (works at a store where the sku isn't effective until launch day).

Question on the Toys'R'Us Preorder: Do you have to do it in store or does the online transfer to a store? I'm almost certain it doesn't, but thought I'd ask for clarification.

Online is so god damn additive just like the first one going to OD on this game!

Edit: I'm a bit disappointed in the spec mode. 2 players really... I was hoping for something similar to the zombie mode in WaW : (

I've been up to 4am for the last 2 days playing on a workweek. It's really got that 'just one more game...just one more game' feeling.

They want big numbers for first day sales PR.

Dude... DUDE. Were you there till the end? A few people were turned away because they didnt have enough 360 copies (they gave first priority to those who had already paid it off.) I was the last guy in line who wanted a PS3 copy and got it. Another guy behind me wanted a 360, but ended up getting the PS3 one because the store ran out.

Btw, I was the one with the cane! :lol

Bah few more days!

Anyone here with the Hardened version? Debating whether it's worth the extra $, considering I love the case but have no interest in HD COD1.

Well. I have a quest this weekend. And that is to muster up cash for a 360. I just can't fathom the thought of playing the gimped PC version. Plus playing on the PS3, which would be the best alt, has the suckiest controller for it. I might swoop up one of those Wal Mart deals. If not, I have local classifieds that I could sniff around. Either way, it's going to be a very long weekend.

First playthrough on Regular took me 8:32 according to the game's clock. I didn't stop to search for anything.

I've just finished the campaign on around 5 hours. It's not a long game at all, and I died so many times you could probably shave off half an hour or more due to that. There's no way in hell you're going to spend 12 hours on the campaign.

It's a good singe player game, but I'd say MW1 has a better one. Personally I'd give it around 7/10. Now on to spec ops!

Edit: Oh, and the end credits were pretty funny!

Wow @ the "disturbing scene" detailed at the game's start up.

Fox News and he who shall not be named are going to have a field day with this one.

Early game story spoilers:
You walk into an airport, while undercover, and unload on a crowd of civilians then walk through the level gunning down everyone as they run from you.

In-sane.

This has been known for quite some time now, and it's been in the media already.

Does it still have the infinite respawning enemies?
Click to expand...

Nope! But it sure feels like it at some points. (Well, it could very well still be there, but I'm sure I cleared out some areas after shooting LOTS of bad guys - not just by reaching an invisible checkpoint line).

I'm left with the feeling that IW just took the "easy" way out with the difficulty, by just throwing enemies en masse at you, and you'll see the death screen A LOT. But I guess it's how war feels like :lol

So anyone playing the PS3 version, can you mute people during the lobby now, or is it like CoD4/WaW where you can only do it once the match starts and have to re-mute everyone per match?
