Damn its annoying to hear they got some parts so right, and yet totally messed up other (crucial) areas.
You run an Nvidia card, right? Tried setting the SSAO profile in nHancer to COD4 or (WaW) then enabling ambient occlusion through the control panel? It makes a great difference in COD4 would be nice to see if it works with MW2 and how it looks.

I'm up the favela stage and I hope the rest of the game isn't like this stage. So far I've encountered just about every horrible COD mainstay that supposedly wasn't going to be in this game.
Just set the clock on your PS3 ahead by a day. That seems to fix it. Then just fix the clock tomorrow.

I don't live on this forum, I just noticed his name quite a bit. Maybe it's just his behavior, not towards a platform. But the same goes towards you, I don't really see many constructive posts coming from your hands.
My apologies to Brainstew if I got it wrong.

AND Dick Armey. And fucking Machiavelli. Gotta love that it has Rumsfeld sounding like a complete idiot, though. To IW's credit, though, there are plenty of quotes from those who would never associate themselves with the Bush Administration.

I did that, and the game is in my collection now, but I don't have any of the trophies for things I know I did, am I doing something wrong?
EDIT I see a patch is on the way. I hope it's retroactive...

I don't remember being this bad at MW1. I mean, wow. I'm getting too old for this shit.
Infinity Ward is a group of fucking amateurs. Seriously. How you release your blockbuster with out completely functional online features is beyond me.
Maybe if they would take notes from nearly EVERY OTHER MAJOR SHOOTER ON THE MARKET they would have realized that a Beta would have solved these damn problems.
Jesus christ.

No, it just goes to show that Rumsfeld and Cheney are more than monsters with no redeeming qualities like the hivemind likes to think.Freedom = $1.05 said:

Anyone seen Tom Chick's article on MW2? It's pretty wild.
"Is Modern Warfare 2 the most disgusting game of the year?"

Bought the game this morning and got starship troopers free with it. I do have some issues with it though:
Anyway, sorry for the big section of a blacked out rant. I probably could have been more concise with with what I wanted to say but there you go...
The airport scene. I wasn't offended by it or anything but I'm a little bit disappointed how linear they made it. I played through it a few times just to see if anything different happened.
The first time I tried to kill the terrorists and got a mission failed saying "I shouldn't blow my cover or something along those lines". You'd think that it would be a better statement if they could let you try and be the good guy fail seeing as you're going to die anyway.
The second time I decided that I wasn't gonna shoot anyone, just let the dude's doing their killing. The problem is that after a while, they stop killing the cops. They just shoot but they don't kill any of them. I managed to sneak past the cops eventually and wait at the end of the level to see if my terrorist buddies would arrive and they actually did, but they saw me as a traitor and shot me dead just outside of the truck where they usually shoot. Seeing as this is ain't the linear way to get killed, they game just busted me back to a checkpoint.
The third, I said "fuck it" and joined in with my comrades.
To be honest, I think that IW just put that part in game in to build up some controversy around it. If they wanted to show something that made terrorism scary, they could of made the player a civilian running from the baddies. That would of been more striking in my opinion.
I don't like being forced to do bad things in games. I enjoy having the choice. I was having the argument with my friend today where he said "You kill people all of the time in gta", my only response was that you can buy gta and never actually a innocent person if you don't want to. My friend never understood that, hopefully gaf will.
The other issue I had with the game was the space cock-tease. It looked so beautiful and awesome, I wish they did something more with it than just turn your head a bit. At least show me the moon or something.
Still really enjoyed the game though and am loving the multiplayer. I just thought that I'd vent the things that bothered me a bit about the game and see if anyone on the gaf felt similarly.

Hey, I'm not saying they're idiots, just that that one quote from Rummy is rather hilarious. Something along the lines of "We know where they are. They're in Baghdad, Tikrit, in the north, in the south. Yea, they're everywhere." C'mon, that's just hilarious.
Also: I'm fucking tired of hearing Keith David in every goddamn game. I know the guy's gotta eat, but jeez.

Trophies are never retroactive, ever.
Like I mentioned above, set your clock to 11/11/09. Problem solved; you can now earn trophies.

Does it have some classics like:Y2Kev said:
''I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency." - July, 2005
The Taliban is out of business, permanently. - March, 2002.
If were successful in Iraq, if we can stand up a good representative government in Iraq, that secures the region so that it never again becomes a threat to its neighbors or to the United States, so its not pursuing weapons of mass destruction, so that its not a safe haven for terrorists, now we will have struck a major blow right at the heart of the base, if you will, the geographic base of the terrorists who have had us under assault now for many years, but most especially on 9/11. - Sept, 2003.
Oh, that DICK.

I gave into the hype (wasn't planning on picking up 'till at least after Thanksgiving) and bought it on PS3 thinking I was in for more of the same...

I don't know what's funnier: that it works, or that someone thought to try changing the clock :lolValkyr Junkie said:
And IW? C'mon guys. How did you let this happen?
Dev1: "Annnnnnd... Done! Patch 1.01 is in the books! Load it on the PSN, let's go home guys!"

Actually, if he didn't get a Spec Ops trophy that he deserved, it'll register the next time you get a Star.Valkyr Junkie said:
I had 8 Stars, didn't get the trophy, restarted, got another star, and bam... 8 Star Trophy (even though I now had 9). That's kinda retroactive, no? :lol
However, when it comes to the campaign... yeah, you're gonna have to do those over again.
Really enjoying the campaign so far, but I thought the
scene wasn't nearly as interesting or thought provoking as it could have been. I agree with snoopeasystreet, I think its pretty lame that you get a generic
IMO, if you are going to take it upon yourself to tackle something as dark and intense as that, you need to do it with more thought. Seemed a bit lazy.
airport
game over message if you shoot the terrorists in your group. I think a more authentic approach would be to create a unique ending to the level which accounts for you "actually" taking control of the situation by stopping the madness.

Start the game.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE PATCH.
Get to the title screen.
NOW YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE PATCH.
Finishing the first level should net you a trophy. If that doesn't happen then rinse and repeat.

Wait. So the problem is that the patch has some logic built in that won't allow trophy unlocking to start until 11/11/09?
Played PC multiplayer for a bit...
have to say, all my worries are basically gone.
Matchmaking is super fast, arguably as fast as clicking on a dedicated server. It's almost instant, and seems very streamlined.
The game looks great too. Maybe not that much better than cod4, but still nice.
I haven't experienced much lag yet, and I usually get 4 solid green bars.
So far I might go as far as saying I like matchmaking better.
