Oh believe, me, I've considered it. I even thought about going to a midnight launch yesterday rather than wait for the mail to show up today (tomorrow....) I think I'll survive for a night, I just felt like bitching unnecessarily on a message board so that I could pretend people on the internet care, but in reality they'll just laugh and tell me they dont give a shit since they're having too much fun playing the game. (that about sums up how GAF works in 90% of cases)

People are saying 4-5 hours on normal, hardest difficulty manageable in 10 or so. Just rent it for the weekend, play it through once or twice and save yourself 50 bucks.

Is this game worth the buy if I'm only interested in Campaign and achievements?
I never really played the multiplayer in MW...
Don't shoot me.

It seemed as though there was to me, but then again I didn't stick around long enough to find out. My experience from CoD4 told me to just take out the direct threats and then run like hell to the next spot and repeat. Just beat the game, clocked in 4h 50m on Regular.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
I kind of want to buy a copy of a really cheap game just to swap cases.lawblob said:

Alright, I think I'm going to pick this up. I loved the first game. And I'm ready to step into the online world of a not RB game. Here it goes.

Just finished it. I'll spoiler all my thoughts:
Right... now to waste my life in multiplayer and trying to nail it on veteran.
I loved it. I know they did a good job at doing it because
I have to say I'm very impressed with what Infinity Ward did with the main campaign. The invasion of America is something I've wanted to see in a movie or game for a very long time now, and I feel that they really nailed it. After the first strike and you're riding down that suburban street in the jeep is really chilling - all of the nice little houses blown to bits and whatnot. This only intensifies once you get to Washington and see what remains of landmarks like the White House. Unfortunately, I don't think they focused enough time on it. Though, I'm greedy and if I had it my way, all of the game would revolve around the concept of playing in a war torn America. The other locations were really great too, though, and provided the much needed variety. I also like the fact that this game was full of colour; a nice contrast to the brown of the settings last time.
I'm not afraid to admit that I thought the narrative really took a dive in the last third or so of the game after the big twist, and I'm not entirely sure what was happening a lot of the time. I'm presuming the Russians gave up on America? If so, why? And the reasoning that Sheperd gave for his evil acts were flimsy at best. It kinda felt like Infinity Ward were trying just a little too hard to be this really gritty experience, when really they didn't need to add all of these convoluted twists because the scenarios they had been running with throughout the rest of the game were fantastic.
I'd say it was 75% brilliance, 25% solid enjoyment. That still equals 100% fun, but for me COD4 was 100% brilliance. I suppose it's natural I wasn't totally blown away in the same way this time, however, as it was simply building upon that great foundation, rather than totally turning the series on its head as 4 did. And, to be fair, the highest points in MW2 trump those in COD4 easily.

Cant wait to get home and play. 360 Manual is a joke though Also, word of warning, I tried to get this by returning one of the two games I bought from ToysRUs during the 3 for 2 deal. The bastards wouldnt let me. F THEM!! When I bough the game, they said I could have exchange either or both of the games I paid for, just not the free one.

I agree with this for the most part, but
I'm still confused as to what Shepard did aside from kill and light the two guys from 141 on fire. I mean sure, that's a bad thing, but what else? Why did the focus suddenly switch to him? Did the Russian dude end up getting killed by Shepards troops? Everything was moving so fast at the end.

How do you select third person view in multiplayer?

Wasn't it something to do with the "blank cheque" too? I interpreted that as him stealing a fuckton of money...
I can't believe a COD story confused me... :lol

I heard that you have to bring the disc and they give you the case, however, if you pre-purchase at Gamestop starting today you will get a limited edition MW3 disc made with magic marker.

It's not about saving them money at all, it's about not wasting millions of resources on meaningless crap. This game's initial run was what, 5 bazijillion? Think of how much paper and plastic was saved. Not the cost, which I'm sure was motivator, but the actual items.lawblob said:

If it's a game like this and it sells 10million+ copies that's 100 grand. Not to shabby.
Besides, it saves mother earth! Please think of the lord Gaea before you complain.

I dont think that any PS3 games that will be released from now on wont have trophies in them, which is nice EDIT: Not to go too much off-topic, but speaking about trophies, which PS3 game was the last to not have trophies support? Was it Afro Samurai?

I picked these up earlier today The Prestige Edition will stay sealed, i mostly bought it as a collecting object. I bought the normal edition to have a copy to play

So I went in on a total Singleplayer media blackout.
I had no idea about the controversial scene.
But anyways, the mission was shocking? yes. Offensive? No. It's a game, it isn't real. I don't get offended by stuff that isn't real.

I think the mission received its desired effect from me. As soon as they started dropping people I literally said "Holy shit".
And then the part at the end where Makarov shoots me I let a "what the fuck?" slip.

In your case, I would suggest to just rent it. The campaign is fun and good but far too short to warrant a purchase if you have no plans for multiplayer.
