Good luck with that. Site has been down all day and wasn't even working properly last night and this is before the mainstream grabs it, I had to reload the register page 800 times to make and link my accounts.

Like I said about 20 minutes ago. I've been dicking around in elite all morning.

I'm really confused as to why they adjusted the weapon damage. It seems like they should've just increased the health to 50 for hardcore and left softcore modes alone.

Since most gaming sites are blocked here at work could someone confirm something for me since I am having trouble getting solid answers.

Spec Ops Mission Mode is four player while Survival Mode is only two players, is this correct? I was really annoyed by Battlefield 3 co-op being two players maximum and was hoping to play with three buddies in mission mode in this. I kind of wish Survival mode was the same though.

Someone said that Assault Rifles weren't viable everywhere earlier I think, messing around with it and I can say that I think they're still really viable everywhere :p.

Yeah I was having a hard time believing what they were saying. As long as the AR has a decent ADS speed, there's no reason it couldn't do just as well as in previous games.

Did they speed at which you capture flags in domination? It seems really fast now and you don't really get a chance to defend flags unless you're right there when they start capturing.

Didn't they announce mobile apps to access setting up custom classes and such?

What is it called in the iPhone app store? I can't seem to find it...

So, am I missing out on anything if I don't become a founder? I really don't have $50 to drop on elite before the 13th, but I want free map packs and dlc.

Can anyone tell me exactly what i would be missing if I wait and purchase elite on, say, the 1st of december?

Just got this fucking email from amazon/ups:

"We're writing to let you know there was a transit delay and the delivery of your package from Order# 103-6623773-2723426 may be delayed by 1 - 2 days.
UPS will deliver the package as soon as possible. We're very sorry about this unavoidable delay and we appreciate your patience."

Apparently the PC version doesn't render up from 720p, and just upscales the image. Check out the hi-res screenshot thread :/

played a round on PC. Holy crap it looks soooo bad with everything maxed. Gameplay is fun and it is running very smooth but it looks like I am playing a game from 2002. As they say though, gameplay > graphics right? I hope I can get over this fuzziness quickly so that I can fully enjoy the experience.

Question for PS3 players -

Does the netcode for MW3 work better than BO on PSN?

I remember getting BO launch week and people were teleporting all over the place the lag was so bad in some games. If you didn't have host, you got raped.

Question for PC players -

Is this BO all over again where the game simply doesn't fucking work at all on some computers no matter how many drivers and fixes you use or has installation/performance been pretty smooth so far?

Trying to avoid getting it on 360 this year.

Max's impressions hit the nail with a lot of other user feedback. If people are on the fence about the game, check out his video for sure.

Can't wait to play!

Only played an hour so far (MP Only). Very early impressions is that some maps are unbalanced for Domination which I was playing. It was way to easy to lock down. I was getting kill spawned like crazy. And it seems overall easier/quicker to take somebody down compared to Blackops and MW2. Oh well, looking forward to playing more tonight, surely it will get better.

Lets just put it this way. I have yet to encounter anyone with a yellow bar. Astonishing.

Every Call of Duty post-Call of Duty 2 has felt extremely weird to me on PC. I think it's the controls.

Pretty shitty of them to hype up ELITE so much, and then it doesn't even work at launch.

It still keeps saying I need to play a game of Black Ops, but I don't own that game, so wtf ?

unfortunately, yes.

after coming from playing battlefield 3 for the past few weeks, this feels so blurry and dated. the good news is it is running a lot smoother on PC then blops ever did.

For those having image issues on PC, go into the Advanced Video settings, and change Image Quality from Extra (or whatever) to Native.

Give it a few days. Sites like that are always under spec'd and get hammered at launch.

The good news is that you can FINALLY use the streak rewards in any order. No more getting stuck trying to use your lower ones while waiting to call in a chopper. Can't believe it took them do long to do this.

I have to say after playing about 4 hours of the game, I'm not liking it at all. The damage seems fucking insane (dying fast) and the spawns don't help that either. One shot anywhere on the body sniping is back and it is annoying as hell. None of the maps stood out to me as being fun. I'm very disappointed :(

The campaign is fun so far, playing through on Veteran I think I am just over half way. Its pretty easy though in comparison to previous COD's.

Indeed. I don't have a gaming PC so it doesn't bother me personally but I feel for some guys as CoD's roots was the PC.

I still say CoD UO is probably the most fun I've ever had with a multiplayer FPS.

Domination feels like it's been ruined. The speed at which people go down makes it just comical when you have people spawning all on top of each other around the flags. To make it not impossible to capture a flag, they sped up the rate at which you capture, which makes it impossible to defend a flag unless you're standing right there when the enemy begins to take it.

Sucks.
