Damn. Do you receive enough packages from UPS to warrant them just dropping it off like that? I thought overnight packages almost always had to be signed for, but I receive shipments from UPS almost every day so my guy just drops everything off w/o signature.

If you're on PS3 at the moment, they're not on anything. Good job IW, the first ever PS3 game to support trophies that doesn't support trophies. What a bunch of amateurs :lolScarecrow said:
That explains the feature above. Yay, now I have to play through the game on Veteran (woohoo, Favela!) a second time to get credit for it because they broke their own game with a patch. Nice work.Everdred said:

Those emblem's and title's are such a fucking tacky headache to look at, especially the weed one and the half-naked goth chick tied up on the ground. What stupid shit is this, some 12 year old's forum signature?

Thanks to Quebec's incredible language laws, I am stuck playing this in French. Yes I understand the game. No, it's not fun motherfuckers. Goddamnit.
Whatever, the game is still badass as shit.

I think Tom Chick is kind of off on this one. His premise is that the scene in question occurs in the middle of some vacuous action flick for shock value alone. I think the scene plays into the greater premise of the game. This will get spoilery, so you will want to have finished the game:
Before the massacre happens, the game sets the scene up as your patriotic duty. It won't be easy, but it is the right thing to do and will save lives in the end. It also leads you to believe that this is what the game means by "modern" warfare. You go through with it because the game sold you on it. The end result of the mayhem is that tons of your own civilians lose their lives. You later find out that it was one of the main villains in the game that gave you the heroic speech and pushed you out the elevator door.
The game then pushes out a ton of death-quotes that question what patriotism really is at its core, most of which invite the conclusion that it is a silly thing.
Fast forward to the end of the game, and you are following a core group of soldiers working fairly independently of central command (which is in shambles). They are motivated to do the right thing as they see it. If the bad guys won, it would just become a positive history of the victors. No one in the entire world has reason to believe there is an alternate history. The soldiers want to get a true account of what occurred out to the public. The museum during the credits is the realization of this goal.
All this occurs in a game called "call of duty". The entire game is you experiencing different motivations to go to war. You experience someone telling you to commit a patriotic atrocity. There is a fight for your homeland, and they tug at those emotions by setting you in the suburbs, Burger Town, and the nation's capital. You see people going to extreme and impossible lengths for truth and what they feel is right. I'm not saying it is a great story, but I think its wrong to think that the scene is just some shock value inserted into mindless blockbuster.

I guess I can try to call them tomorrow. They're not open right now.
They've NEVER had us sign. It pisses me off every time I peek out the door and see a package. One time they left a 23" LCD box that clearly said "Samsung" on it and had a picture of the monitor on the box.

It looks cool? Scopes in a bit more than the other scopes, too. But it's terribly difficult to use. Not practical at all.tarius1210 said:

First thing I noticed too... maybe being a designer it sticks out a bit more, but bleh - they obviously have some really talented UI guys, which is why I was pretty surprised about the craptastic main menu.Hazimov said:Finished act 1. So far so good.
The user interface design is a major letdown. The game has one of the crappiest menus ever. Did they design them using Microsoft PowerPoint?!!
Well, IW's logo isn't that great either, so who knows.

Yeah game is easy now on Veteran, incredible
Three missions into MW2 on Veteran, I'm absolutely loving it. They've refined everything, and this time they really nailed the intense pacing. I just don't want to put down the controller. Also, so far no annoying monster closets. I can't believe I'm back to loving CoD.

After playing on Live for around 8 1/2 hours, my only real complaint about the multiplayer is the spawn system. I feel like I get spawned behind relatively often, much more often than I ever was in CoD4. And I'm not talking about having bad guys spawn a few hundred feet behind me with obstacles in between us. I'm talking directly behind me (what seems like 10 in game feet). Does anyone else feel the same way?

I can understand "pointless" in the sense of being able to control yourself during the level and whatnot, but the SCENE itself...?? It's the catalyst for everything that happens in the game!!! The war, Shepherd's attempt to silence those who are in the know, etc.
That's what I mean by it's far from pointless.

Im here to take the crown for worst MW2 player. I was getting my ass kicked over and over in my short time online. Not sure what im doing wrong, but my best game I had 12 more deaths that kills.
Pretty fun though, abeit frustrating.

What mode were you playing? I've only played about a half-hour of free-for-all, and felt that most of the time I was spawned in good positions. I did feel like I was spawned in bad situations slightly more than I was in the first MW, but with my limited play time, I couldn't say for certain.

It reinforced the twisted nature of that character and it also serves as a reason and purpose for the mission in the latter half of Act II, which in IW's exact words, is the 'pivotal point of the story.'Revolutionary said:

I agree, the spawn system (as far as TDM...which I play the most) sucks. Most of my deaths occur because I spawn in the middle of a shitstorm of some sort of. I'm not sure how it works but I'm assuming you spawn on (within the general area) the longest surviving player?
