Got this today for £25.99 (Morrisons) and I 'm loving it. The multiplayer is just as addictive as COD4, and the campaign is incredible so far. Really glad I found this for cheap.

Oh yeah, forgot to ask..
What's up with the Donald Rumsfeld quote when you die? :lol
The infamous "we know where they are" quote...
I laughed out loud with a "wtf?" when I first saw it. So out of place. Funniest COD quote ever.

What a load of crap, really now. The PS3 version is missing some effects, takes longer to load and has a worse framerate, that's the facts, and if you notice dropped frames, you'll notice the worse framerte no matter what setup you use. It doesn't matter whether you care about the differences or not, when someone asks if there's a difference don't lie about the fact and put your personal spin or bias on it, just give him the facts and let him make the decsion on whther the difference bothers them or not.

Here's a spoilered MW1 story outline:
i) Terrorists execute a leader in middle east and a warlord takes control
ii) Marines go in to clean him out he sets off a nuke in the city, wiping it out (and killing your playable marine character)
iii) At the same time, British special forces have been working in Russia, uncovering an Ultranationalist organization that wants to wipe out the western world.
iv) Leader of the Russian Ultranationalists assisted the Warlord in getting weapons and shit, so the americans jump in and join the British after the nuke goes off.
v) Flashback mission in which the leader of the british SAS forces assisted in a failed assassination attempt on this warlord 10 or 15 years back, tore off the guys arm with a 50 cal and pissed him off to the west even mroe than he already was.
vi) The joint forces storm a missle launch site and try to take out the leader before anything happens, but he sets some missiles up to launch for the US. Luckily you arrive in the nick of time and disable the launch sequence, and then get chased during your extraction. Big shootout on a bridge, mostly everyone dies and soem Russian troops you worked with early on come in with a chopper and rescue Soap (British playable character) and a few others. You kill the ultranationalist leader with a pistol.

Now you're good to go, buy the game and enjoy the story. But really...it's a shooter detailing a modern conflict. Cue terrorists/nuke threats. That's about all you need for plot.

Veteran in CoD4 was way easier than CoD2 and MW2's "Veteran" seems like CoD4's "Hardened" at best. I haven't had a problem yet and I've been running out in the open quite a bit.
Kinda disappointed with it's easiness, but then again I am a boss.

I agree with this review, I've just come off the back if U2 into MW2 and it feels a little....Ummm...... amaturish in comparison......(IMO.)
I can't put my finger on it but, the narrow alleyways that are full of hails of bullets that never stop are beginning to piss me off. U2 never felt unfair, but fuck me is MW2 cheap at times......

Please explain this. I bought the PS3 version specifically to play with my IRL friends, as opposed to my fake X360 friends.

I've seen a few posts already saying there's virtually no difference between them too. I get the impression that to say a difference exists or to answer someones questions saying there is, is trolling or something. :lol
Multiplay on PC is fun, the lowered number of players really makes the multiplay more relaxed, even though I think it should have been an option. I got an AC130 drop and enjoyed it
Anyway, I've got some questions about the story

Why did Price launch the bomb? Who killed the Russian bad guy?

Wow dude. You have issues, lol!
Patch the berluddy party chat back in, I can't stress how damn stupid this decision is!
I'm never really played the first MW all that much, but now having to deal with 12 year old kids screaming about perks (who aren't even old enough to play the game) while at the same time conversing with a group of friends from a party which has gone into the game is..........urrgghhh.

I'm really struggling with MP. i mean.... i just SUCK. even though, i'm playing a lot, and "training", i still see no improvements in my way of play.
And another thing... don't anyone thinks that if a team get a good kill streak, (the heli or the ac 130) you have almost no chance of winning the game. The kills form that streak add to the nex streak, and then you have 2 chopper, CONSTANTLY firing everyone for the rest of the game. If you took one down, they already have another, one after the other...
Should kill streaks come only from... normal kills?.
That's all, i'll keep "training" though!

Just played my first dose of multiplayer and got to level 4 in one game. :lol I thought I'd take a while to get in to it but nope.
Airport is an amazing level.

No, he's a PC gamer, and he likes to have the best of the best (which is why he plays PC). It's like when people say Mirrors Edge looks and runs the same on consoles as PC, it doesnt. There are differences, like a higher/more stable framerate, better lighting, etc. You can't fault the guy for liking his games to be the best that is possible, and so he recommended the more stable of the two versions according to people's impressions so far.
If one of the games drops frames more often, thats an issue. If there's more tearing, it's a fair complaint. Poorer textures, etc. Just because its a slight difference that can be ignored or overlooked or put up with doesnt mean it isnt there and shouldn't be pointed out.

So let me get this straight.
I like to talk to my buddy across different games. He isn't interested in MW2. I can't talk to him while playing multiplayer and he's in borderlands? (360)
If so, screw that, IW.

There are differences, but like last time, most aren't going to give a flying fuck. Buy the version you want to jerk off too and be done with it.

And the people that feel the need to distort reality are just a-ok, right? Fact is, if someone asks a question you don't put your own agenda or spin on your answer, you either answer it or keep quiet.

I don't dispute that, but surely its down to the person making the purchasing decision to decide whether the differences matter to him. Just give him the facts, and let him decide whether they're a big deal or not, flat out lying and spin doesn't help anybody.

But if they ask if there's a difference between the two version, why don't people just, you know, let them know if there is or not, and then let them decide if they're a big issue for them or not. I agree, for the vast majority of consumers, the differences are minor but for a certain percentage they're important, and if you're part of that percentage there's nothing more frustrating than someone giving you the (factually incorrect) standard response of "they're the same".
