Maybe we're just not used to it. It was the same when I first played MW and MW2.jonnybryce said:

Yeah, I started to use silencers on my guns in MW2 for a while. Mostly for stealth, but I just like the way it makes the weapons sound.xDcorkscrewblow said:

Told myself i wouldn't be picking this up, but Tesco have a decent deal. £42 for the game and 2100 MS Points. Plus I have £20 worth of vouchers, so I'll get the deal for a reaonable £22.

Is it bad on certain maps or is it always all over the place?
Sp has been rock solid so far on ps3, ill be pissed if theyve fucked it in the mp.
Just finished an almost 24 hour marathon session of black ops on 360. (stopping to eat and use the can)
Picked it up from EB midnight last night (Aus) was playing by 1230 am and have finally turned off the xbox at 900pm.
I have not slept!!
Impressions....
Excellent, Treyarch improved over MW2 in every way. The guns, the maps, the "feel" it just works so well.
The main problem I have had so far is with American players lagging out our Aussie hosted lobbies, for some reason if a yank is in there the whole game just feels heavier, less responsive yet they seem to be able to run around owning fools?! It's infuriating.
There are more things but I need to sleep on this massive entertainment dump my brain has taken. Zzzzzzzz

Mush said:WTF? Treyarch didn't include the New Zealand flag in the Playercard selection? But they included Ethiopia? A fucking outrage that is!

It was in MW2, why the hell did they leave it out?

First impressions from the pc version:
+ A LOT OF options (DUH stuff for a pc game but just saying)
+ alt + tab and Windows + D work in the menu's (need to check it out for ingame)
going to play against bots now to check out the game sens and setting to get a good grib before I play online later.
Any questions about the pc version people can ask and I'll try to answer it here.

Christ they have went all out on the online side of it, its like halo with all the screen shots vids etc infact the stat tracking is even better on the console itself then halo is.
so got to try the PS3 version at my friend's and...
-framerate is all over the place, it runs much much worse than MW2, even multiplayer
-lots of texture and geometry LOD "in your face" issues, again much worse than MW2, the aggressive streaming is going to kill some BR drives in the long run, there should be an option to install the game on the HDD for the PS3 version.
-aliasing
-lighting (edit: see the the lens of truth comparison below)
-lag, even with full green connection
-laughable spawns, but that has been already been discussed
-the game plays 99% like every other CoD... which for most people doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing

Played the first 2 missions of the campaign on Veteran. Holy fuck. What a pile of shit. :lol It's like they literally took NOTHING from MW2's faults and even made some aspects of the gameplay worse. The friendly AI is not only incompetent, but seems to be completely unaware of their surroundings at times. They advance forward but often completely ignore enemies shooting at them from the sides. This has led to a few moments of me thinking "oh okay they've cleared the area since they're all the way at the end waiting for me", taking a few steps and being gunned down by a bunch of enemies to the sides. Fucking awesome job at clearing the advance, guys! Oh, and the checkpoints are garbage as usual.
Fortunately, the multiplayer side of the game is pretty good so far. I've got a few complaints though:
- there seems to be some more lag than I'm accustomed to. Doubt it's my connection
- I've run into a few annoying glitches. Getting Last Stand on many objects that your legs collide with cause you to be unable to move, grenades can sometimes roll through barricades (learned that the hard way), etc...
- Spawns suck balls. Whoever was saying before the game came out that the enemies sometimes spawn behind you was dead on. Awful... and I thought MoH was bad. :lol
- Camping. I played my first One In the Chamber and it was ruined by a camper. He did not move at all during the round and didn't die once. I don't even feel like trying the game mode out anymore cuz I have a feeling most people are going to be doing that shit. Fucking lame.
But aside from these shortcomings, overall I'm enjoying it more than I did MW2 for sure.

Yes it is, once I unlocked it and tried it, it's become my main setup weapon with grip and red dot, it's a beast but it does suffer at full range a bit, gun is also good on the tighter maps with grip and fire rate.corkscrewblow said:

they kept it a little more simple but that has a lot to do with the fact that this game is based during the cold war and not present day but I felt like with MW2 they did too muchJay-B said:

Open it with wordpad, of download notepad ++. It's an awesome free tool made with editing configs in mind.

Probably because it is using UNIX linebreaks rather than DOS/Windows linebreaks for some reason. Use NotePad2 or some other Notepad replacement that can actually handle them correctly.The Dutch Slayer said:ok now I have a pc question.

You are absolutely right, Treyarch totally fucked up the lighting/brightness/IQ. Just saw some comparisons between the PS3/360 versions. It's not something you can fix with the brightness option/slider, it needs to be fixed with a patch. The shadows are too bright. On the 360 the shadows are black in some scenes, on the PS3 they are almost the same colour as the skin of the character. It's like there's some kind of filter on the PS3 version. Some shadows looks alright though/not too bright, definitely some kind of bug.
Low res textures and a shitty filter doesn't help the PS3 version.
I made some gifs, pics taken from lens of truth

The brightness setting looks off for both the 360 and PS3. Crushed blacks and light shadows.
