Support NeoGAF

[Angry Fork]

Better than the game ending after the host disconnects.

True but I wish it was more seamless or stop being cheap and have dedicated servers.

It's supposed to happen post match, isn't it?

You sure host didn't leave?

Maybe this was the case not sure. If it's post match then I won't complain.

So can anyone that has this comment on the killstreak stacking for assault class? Is it as annoying as MW2 (killstreaks going off 24/7)?

It killed MW2 for me, so I am hoping the game feels a bit less "cluttered" with killstreaks, but the stacking worries me...

 

[RedAssedApe]

K-mart trying to get people to use those $10 giftcards they sent out for their online pricing mistake? haha

 

[Palmer_v1]

So basically, almost everyone who uses support package in the game can call those 10+ pointstreaks even if they die alot as long as they keep shooting stuff.

hmmmn..

Not as bad as you make it sound. Most of the Support packages are just that... support. The only directly offensive one they have is the Stealth Bomber. Maybe the Escort Air Drop could be considered offensive depending on where you call it, but we'll see.

Yeah I'm worried about this also. So much shit in the air. Too much shit in the air.

 

[Angry Fork]

What the hell @ the mini helicopter in the stream haha.

 

[boredofcanada]

saw that mini helicopter....pretty cool.

 

[Kyoufu]

Most of the killstreaks can be countered with perks, turrets, launchers or simply staying indoors to avoid fire.

Don't see them being a problem.

The thing is though it kinda sucks if you have to constantly wear the anti-missle perks just because everyone stacks. It's not really a 'choice' in that case since you're bound to die all the time if you don't use them.

edit and wow he's lagging really bad in the stream, I hope that's just his connection/region.

 

[Kyoufu]

This stream is painful to watch with sound on lol.

 

[Angry Fork]

I hope the maps have a decent distance/open space for snipers. I'm seeing a lot of close quarters maps so far but maybe it's different from the perspective of a machine gunner.

 

[Liquidsnake]

Just got the game this morning, but I am stuck at work for the next 7.5 hours.

I should be ok to play online right? Its a legit copy.

 

[Nori Chan]

Oh snap a 25 killstreak?

So hyped for this game. I never got a nuke in mw2 cause I was a herp n derp back then. Now that I know what I'm doing I'll be going for this shit. Any YouTube videos ofthe Moab yet.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

saw that mini helicopter....pretty cool.

Oh hello Homefront ideas!

 

[Kyoufu]

Waaaaaaaaait.

Nuke is in this game too?

HAHAHAH

 

[zlatko]

Anyone know what the design teams reasoning is for bringing back death streaks even though the MW2 community hated it so much ?

 

[Radec]

So there are more shops selling this already ?

 

[biggkidd32]

Anyone knows if there are any stores in NYC selling the game?

5 days is pretty early, and activision really don't like people getting it early.
i dunno, if the servers are up i would give it a quick try

 

[Dominican Power]

The dude that's streaming has shitty ass aim.

 

[Angry Fork]

Yea I'd like to know too.

 

[Radec]

Best thing that COD did was that solid 60fps.

 

[Dominican Power]

He's lagging hard though.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Yep, even though the engine is REALLY showing its age, it's still buttery smooth.

PK was the only bad deathstreak and it's gone.

Servers are up, there is a stream of multiplayer here: http://www.youtube.com/user/Ec1baller?feature=lb#p/l/ezglGf-fbUc

 

[Raiden]

I have been way out of the loop. Is this by the same team that did Modern Warfare 2? And what are the expectations of this one? I kinda feel like nobody seems to care that much?

Is it gunbeguuud?

Why can´t I see the stream?

 

[pyrealnova]

For you NYCers, vgny is still saying Monday.

edit: i'm going check out the kmart in Astor Place, just in case.

Not exactly the same team, but some of infinity ward are still there, plus sledgehammer joined too.

I still think MW3 will outsold every game this year, so..

Infinity Ward(what was left), Sledgehammer Games, and Raven.

I am going to give it a try tonight. I don't think they will brick my xbox. Like I said it is legit. But I am scared.

 

[Miggytronz]

Treyarch for Wii version and who knows what else.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Microsoft wouldn't ban you (they have said this before), and I highly doubt Activision cares since it is a legit copy. I am sure plenty of journalists are playing for review now, so it's likely that they would never know anyways.

 

[Kyoufu]

Sledgehammer/IW said on the IGN stream that they don't mind people getting the game early as long as they don't spoil the single-player campaign for others.

 

[Dominican Power]

Why do console players keep thinking they're playing on servers

 

[madmaxx350]

Why do console players keep thinking they're playing on servers

Matchmaking server needs to be on for them to connect anyway.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

They are talking about matchmaking servers.

 

[Liquidsnake]

 

[backflip10019]

Damn, looks like they made the livestream private

 

[Kyoufu]

Why do console players keep thinking they're playing on servers

matchmaking servers how do they work

 

[Miggytronz]

So some K-Marts have broken the street date? Am i hearing/reading this right?

 

[Radec]

Favela 2.0 ?

 

[Liquidsnake]

 

[pyrealnova]

Update for NYC folk: kmart in Astor Place is not selling early.

 

[kuYuri]

For those who have the game, how are the Pro perk unlocks done? Are there any that you have to play different game types to unlock? or is it strictly general gameplay stuff like in MW2? I hate that treyarch forced you to play other game modes.

It's just like MW2.

Anyone know what the design teams reasoning is for bringing back death streaks even though the MW2 community hated it so much ?

They've said this many times, it's to help crappy players or those who perform poorly.

 

[madmaxx350]

sigh, wish I had a car to go check my local K-mart

 

[biggkidd32]

Was that from KMart?

 

[Brian Fellows]

My copy got to within 25 miles a couple of hours ago but that is probably too late to get to me today.
