I'm going to prestige on one console but not the other...... i've decided.

PS3 = No Prestige
360 = Prestige

:D
I think I might do the same, except I'll prestige on PS3,and stay at rank 50 on 360. Never tried it before. Really wasn't much incentive for me to do it in MW2.

<< Live stream of someone playing. Not too bad as long as there isn't lag issues.
Ugh, all I saw and heard in that stream"lol, lol ,lol let's keep using the care package glitch!" "lol, lol, Let's keep voting nuke town so we can take advantage of the crappy spawn system" :(

Here's a pretty beast game with the mp5k extended mags. Trying to find a gun most similar to the MP40...

Yep, that one building looks to have a broken spawn point. It looks like that little building doesn't have a large enough spawn influence zone or somehow isn't properly tied to the right domination point. Enemies seem to spawn in that building for no good reason all throughout that match. It's likely a bug in the spawn hints for the map; should be easy enough to patch.

Played it early today at work. Pretty underwhelming really, feels like MW2.5 rather than anything revolutionary.

I don't think any of us were expecting something revolutionary based on everything we've seen up to this point, what we wanted was a return to form for the series, back to the CoD4/WaW level of enjoyment without the frustrations and extra baggage that came with MW2.

Choice is pretty clear there, Smoke.

my mind is telling me 360, but a part of me is saying...I have Reach on 360.

What controller do you prefer for FPS?

360 by far, BUT I did put 30hrs or so into the PS3 version of MW2 (on top of the 60+ on 360 before moving on) and I did get used to it...eventually.

Is there any significant advantage from one platform to another? Black Ops has a major chance to steal me away from Reach which I thought I would NEVER say. MW2 was alright but IW's arrogance and refusal to interact with the community turned me off from that game. Trey looks to be much more responsive to the community and actually listen to what fans say and that's a big thing to me.

Seriously, there's gotta be a spawn bug cause they had C and were spawning near A the entire time..or nowhere near ANY point at all!. These maps are plenty spaced out, with lots of buildings and big enough for two teams to spawn without so much strangeness. On small maps strange things are bound to happen but not a medium sized map with about as much room and space as overgrown.

bet

Didn't know this. I actually haven't been paying too much attention to Black Ops until a few days ago. Now I'm feeling the hype and gotta get it in.

At around 5:15 you can see how messed up the spawning is. Two guys spawn n the opposite side of a half wall and start to run away before getting killed. Hopefully they fix that pretty quick considering it is something that would have been discussed in a wide beta.

The framerate in all previous COD console games has been better on the 360 than PS3, so its probably safe to assume it will be this time as well.

The only platform with a significant advantage is of course the PC (dedi servers, higher player counts, lean, better graphics, more control options, 1080p, better framerate etc.)

As much as I would like a beta, things like this would have been caught by playing this game more than an hour. No need for thousands of hours of time spent on an open beta.

Here's hoping for day 1 patch.

I really think any amount of playing by a decent sized player group would have caught the problem which they had to have done but maybe they focused on other things thinking that this is an easy post release patch.

Really? I have the PS3 version of MW2 and never had a framerate issue. I downloaded the 360 demo too and it felt exactly the same, just with different controls. So when it comes to choosing between ps3 and 360, I'd say it all comes down to your friend list. I have more friends over here with the ps3 version so thats what I'm getting. Waiting a month for the DLC won't be an issue.
 
So I guess I'm gonna have to get this. Even though it sounds really good, I've been on the fence and I was trying to avoid it since I've bought every other CoD since 2 but for some reason my girlfriend really likes this series for some reason and demanded that I get this. Guess I have no choice now.

Hopefully the local co-op is decent but the tiny screens always ruin it for us.

Even though I have both systems, I'll probably go PS3 since I'll be switching over to it for my main console now with all the big games on the horizon.

I said this above, but it looks more like the map designer forgot to put the appropriate spawn hints into the map rather than a fatal flaw in the spawn system. It should be simple enough to fix by updating the map itself.

It's a priority issue it seems. If you only have A then spawning near A should have priority in domination. It doesn't...for whatever reason.
Yeah, the spawn spots seem fine...if the situation was different. Inside buildings, in the corner of the maps, etc. It's just, ya know, there's an enemy in there at the time. So, it should have 0 priority especially in a tdm match. Hopefully it's an easy fix.

he's playing on ps3

looks smooth

good to hear.. i'm torn about what platform i want to get it on .... a lot of my PSN buds are getting is on PS3 .. plus i have two PS3s and one 360 .... i guess I'll get it on PS3 .. MW2 multi was fine on PS3 ... SP will probably suffer a bit in the framers per second dept. but hopefully it will be minor ...

My guess is that they're trying to make it harder to spawnlock in Domination.
