At first I didn't really like the online side of it but I think it was because I didn't know the maps. The guns seem to have very little recoil whereas in the first game you had to trade-off between recoil/power/rof. Overall I really like it but I can see some pretty substantial changes being made to it via patches.

 

As for the airport mission, that was pretty suprising. Good in a slightly worrying way though:blink:

I've not played on line yet because I wanted to get a feel for the game first. Apart from the gun issues you mention, now does it compare game play wise?

The music made it very tense too.

I played online last night rather than single player. I'll do the campaign when my live membership runs out.

Fair point; mods feel free to add that.

 

Surely if you're entering a thread about first impressions though, the games initial content is going to be discussed?

Power trip? Moi?!

All that violence. Send these 'gamers' to the front lines, and then see how much they enjoy it.

 

I'll stick to raiding tombs, thanks.

Gameplay wise its pretty similar, the perk system is completly different and the weapons seem to get kills a lot faster. In cod4 I tended not to shoot at guys crossing the road at medium range because you would only wound them and because you'd fired your gun, the other team knew where you were. Now though you can quite easily get a kill in that situation. Lastnite some guy got 42 kills for 7 deaths, I have never seen this on cod4 in nearly 18months of play, this is why I think there will be changes pretty soon to try and balance things.

apparently they are resetting all leaderboards because they think its unfair some people played it 8 hours straight on launch day...I agree

Although they will get back there easily if they did, I'd expect nothing less from the people at the top of the leader boards!

I had a couple of hours on it last night (PS3 version), and was surprised to see that some of the online players were already at ranks upwards of 30.

 

Do people really play these things solid from the time they get their paws on it? Got to First Class Private (rank 4 or 5) and then gave up because I needed a cup of tea and something to eat. Might go on for a few hours before I start work at six...

 

Footnote: my PS3 gamer tag is Ace-1981 if anyone wants to lock horns.

I played the single player for a while, pretty good, then went on to the multiplayer. Really liking the multiplayer, the kill streaks are excellent. Takes a while to get used to the maps but liking them so far. I don't see a world ranking option on the PC version which is a shame. Seems to load quicker that WAW.

 

As for the airport level, you don't have to shoot any civilians, I did the level without hurting them though had to shoot the police. I'm too nice, I need to replay it and shoot everyone!

I wonder if anyone has unlocked and actually used the tactical nuke killstreak perk yet. I'm sure it will be all over youtube when someone does finally use it.

Im impressed with what they have doen to the kill streaks, throughs in some good variety.

 

Dare i ask what streak that is and im sure it will be done via a private match quite quickly.

From memory I think its 25 kills, in cod4 my highest was 18 so I don't think there's much chance of me doing it:(

 

-edit- Someone has used it, looky...

Not started the Sp campaign yet, and going to give it a rest today.

Clocked just over 13hours online and at level 33 or something.

God knows why people had connection issues, the only problem I had was connecting to acouple of mates in the lobby, they could connect to me fine so didnt really have an issue in the end. (patch being released friday for this and also a patch today for something to do with the trophies).

 

I also like how when the host leaves the game finds another host in-game and you carry on rather than being booted to the lobby.

I just got my copy from Tesco... £39

 

SupraSonicUK (XBox) if anyone wants to add me

 

..same username on PSN, when I use it

Played this for about an hour and a half last night and got to level 13 which i thought was respectable

 

Although i agree with the leaderboards to be reset as i looked at the number 1 gamer on the leaderboard and he had been playing for over 2 1/2 days!!!! Surely another modded xbox??

[Supraman]

Alot of people got it early because if you ordered online the company were allowed to send out the game as soon as they got them in stock.

 

Fordy ltd is my gamertag if anyone wants to add

[bigbloodyturbo]

Is anyone else having problems connecting to a server with MW2? it just keeps looking and looking for servers but doesn't actually connect.

 

done some googling and found some info and it looks like PSN was supposedly overloaded and online play is unavailable for some reason:blink:
