Depends on the situation, but the last 3-4 levels were filled with infinite spawns. It's just the fact that enemies seem to have near godlike reflexes, know where you are all the time, and spawn from every direction. It's irritating and frustrating.

The Rio level with MacTarvish, where enemies start appearing on the rooftops...if you don't push forward they come forever. I was fighting for a good 10 minutes assuming it was a set firefight...but nope! Enemies kept pouring in from all the rooftops around me.
Also, the blood effect when you get hit is horrible and looks awful.

Those who say there are haven't gotten far enough in the game yet to realize there aren't.Dax01 said:
There are no infinite respawning enemies on the Favela level, by the way. They're just flanking you.

I don't if it's all the propaganda/fanaticism, the laughable dialogue or if it's the infinite spawning of enemies, but I am getting furiously annoyed by this game. I'm at the end of Act 2 (Of Their Own Accord) and this is totally bumming me out. I loved Call of Duty 2 and 4 and was looking forward to this.
Other than the game being poop, the essential gameplay and scenery is top notch!

So can someone explain why i'm being put up against high ranked guys in my first match? My team got destroyed.
Bastards, I don't have the funds to play this until Friday, so you need to be gentlemen and wait for me.
How is the special ops, by the way? Is it a minor distraction or something you can put lots of time into?I'm really looking forward to it, I love Co-op and I'm hoping it will provide me with some split-screen fun with the GF.

Just played through the first 4 missions or so in SP and there was one spot the enemies seemed to spawn infinitely, but the majority of encounters seem to have a limit.
Campaign is as brainless and cheap as ever. Pretty underwhelmed with it, but of course thats not why I bought the game.
This was the part I was referring to. And yeah, the new blood spatter when your hurt is terrible and completely obscures the directional indicator for incoming fire.

I played through it and it didn't bother me at all, especially given how it was handled plot wise. The GTA games never bothered me either. A game would have to be a lot more realistic in terms of the kill count for deaths to have any real impact on the players. Yes these are all real world weapons, actual geographic locations, and it is graphic. But by the time you have mowed down 100 enemies as one Marine it isn't that grounded in reality.
At the same time, I would not want it to be. This is an interactive action movie roller coaster. There are supposed to be a ton of people to shoot and crazy explosions going off.
I've enjoyed games like SWAT4 where you can get through them with what would be an actual realistic kill count, but that isn't COD, and I wouldn't want it to be.
People will move on to whatever the next manufactured controversy is once it appears.

I dunno. Maybe you are right? I thought there was just a metric shitload of them. I remember totally clearing out every area in that level, but I suppose I might have tripped some magic switch.

What? Matchmaking is perfect, don't lie!SuperSonic1305 said:
Also most MM start you at a default skill of .500 and then adjust from there.
Anyways, as for the PC multiplayer, here's what I like and don't like:
Like:
- Matchmaking is very fast. Really easy to get into a game.
- Skill levels actually seem to be pretty balanced so far. Most of the games I played were very close.
- Maps are really good overall (except for that shitty huge snow level...it just doesn't work with only 12 people)
- Steam integration is awesome!
- No punkbuster!
Dislike:
- Lack of dedicated servers means lack of communities.
- Lag lag lag. 4 bar games are good, but anything less and you're at a pretty big disadvantage against better pinging players.
- No control over played map
- Few players in certain game types means bad matches. Hopefully enough people start playing come Friday.

It's completely different in GTA than it is here; it's all in the presentation. It's just... different.
The pacing, where you just WALK through, and hear the screaming while you see people trying to drag others out of the way, or they're just clutching a bullet wound... it's just messed up.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Has anyone else not gotten their copy from Amazon? I'm going crazy.
Well in this game doing this is part of your job description and the intention was to stop something much bigger than what happened there. In GTA you can just commit senseless acts in the street with no greater purpose.Dartastic said:
I equate it to the movie Armageddon but imagine others on the asteroid. Save the five people on the asteroid or save the world. Sometimes you have to make tough gritty decisions.
I'm one of the people that late last week was complaining about infinitely respawning enemies.
The TRUTH is that enemies probably don't respawn infinitely, but that doesn't cure the underlying problems with the COD SP formula -
- Enemies spawning behind you and around you in cheap, scripted ways. You die without having a chance to defend yourself.
- Enemies spawning in such a way that the player is punished for not going through the stage in the "intended" route.
- IW using enemy behavior to push the player forward at a faster pace than they might like.
- etc.
The bottom line is that the "infinity" of the enemies themselves is hardly the issue. If it LOOKS and FEELS like a COD4 infinite respawn point, it doesn't hardly matter if it technically isn't one.

Picked up a Hardened Edition from Best Buy today, I don't think it was really worth the extra $20 but whatever. And they had a LOT of copies, mostly 360 it seemed; this is not going to be a difficult game to find I don't think. Would love to know how many they shipped.
They also had a stack of the special edition 360 at the front door. The only thing I didn't see was the prestige edition.

Damn, my university's mail room has shut down for the day and my copy is "delivered" as of right now. Literally 90% of my friends list is playing MW2 right now and I want to join them so bad. Until tomorrow....
(My tracking info says it was dropped off, and I cant get it! RRRRAAAAGGGGEEEE!!!!)

ughhhhh....somebody really needs to tell IW that (Campaign spoilers!!) :
._.
Yeah man we got it, playing the role of a dying soldier as he crawls to his demise was cool that one time in modern warfare one, but having every single player you control in MW2 die is just...well not kewl. Its like they were thinking " well how can we tie up the loose ends, I know! Lets just have them die 
!"

I just finished the game on Regular
It took me abut 5 hours, it is definitely the best game I have played so far.

Is the museum level completable? i have been shooting them from room to room and they just keep responding XD

The difference between infinite spawns and 999999999^9999 spawns isnt as joyous as some of us hoped...
I started the SP thinking that I was going to take my sweet time, picking foes off and removing the enemies from the maps, but after 25min or so of standing in a corner shooting the same god damned puffyhaired kid I though fuck it, ill play it the way they want me to.

Mine has yet to still cross the Los Angeles metro area, been stuck there since yesterday...granted I didn't get it via release day delivery but if things are sent locally they usually arrive the following day.NameGenerated said:
Oh well...gotta appreciate the discounts by ordering it via Amazon though...just gotta be a little more patient =)

Huzzah, mine just arrived!GamePnoy74 said:
I can't remember which mission it is but it's the one where you are in the village and the militia start firing. That was so fucking annoying. I died a lot even on regular. The enemies would be on rooftops, then randomly show up behind me, then on rooftops behind me. I died so many times trying to get through that. I was basically just hoping to reach the next checkpoint. Other than that, SP is pretty freaking awesome.
Still waiting on mine to arrive. I was hoping Amazon would use the alternate delivery service for Vegas since they deliver earlier than UPS. 
I had Dragon Age at my front door when I woke up on release day, and I don't think the PS3 version even had release date delivery.
Oh well, just spent my 20$ on the GoW Collection.

yeah, that's what I've been saying. The game plays out in the exact same way, regardless of whether the enemies are respawning, and that's a shame.
And comparing the airport mission to going on a killing spree in GTA... omg :lol

The biggest problem with that area is that the initial area is *much* wider than it seems, and enemies will run from house to house, meaning they can sneak up behind you really easily. I unno, I found it fun.ThePeacemaker02 said:
