^ I finished the game in two sittings, story wasnt bad. But the AI imo is leaps better than MW1 the game is actually hard lol.

Anyone having weird glitches with killstreak perks online? I got a 10 kill streak and only got the 3 usually perks, uav, drop, and that bomb thing. Sometimes I would get helicopter sometimes not. WTF GIVES?

Your AI partners (Main Characters) actually does something, unlike most games which you have retarded ai partners such as the ones in Killzone 2 and unc2. I finished on veteran,, and most of the time.. I camp and they actually help me out a lot.

Just played that stage. I take it that's the offensive part of the game you are warned about when you first put the game in?

Yeah. It was pretty disturbing... moral choice for the character, so to speak.

I was imagining it was YVR, and that I was caught in it...

to people talking about how short the single player is, isn't the co-op part supposed to be longer than the SP mode?

hotong 11-12-2009 08:41 AM

SpecOps is like short bits of the SP section that you have complete certain objectives on (survive x amount of minutes, kill x enemies). There are also new missions but sometimes they need two players. :cry:

Someone add me on Steam and help me do the gunship missions! :(

EDIT: Hotong be a pal and add meeeee. :(

stupid games these day take up like 12GB of install (i only reserve 60GB for my pc game installs) ..is it 2 discs as well on 360? There's no way they can fit 12GB on a DVD9.

I heard the coop is different than the campaign? As long as it doesn't spoil the story i'd be glad to join you guys..my steam account is twitchyzero.

ecsw 11-12-2009 11:39 AM

Just a note.

It actually lags a lot during co-op on PS3 when you go Charlie operation with lots of reading from optical drive.

Takes locations from the campaign, but yes, doesn't involve campaign directly.

excellent review of MW2 PC from arstechnica

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2009/1...rfare-2-pc.ars

Quote:

In conclusion

The early reviews of this game were conducted at a hotel under Activision's supervision, using the console version of the game. The launch party in New York featured the 360 version of the game. We were sent the Prestige Edition of the game the day of release for coverage. Very few people at the company seem to care that yes, there is a PC port of the game.

Well, we care, dammit. Call of Duty came from the PC gaming scene, and it was there that it was popularized. Yes, consoles are now the dominant form of gaming from a financial standpoint, but it's sad to see a game that has such a rich history on our favorite platform feel so neglected in its newest incarnation. The port of the single-player campaign is strong; the game looks, plays, and feels incredible on a capable gaming PC. The Special Ops missions are perfect if you're in the mood for a teeny-tiny LAN party (although of course you'll both need Steam accounts to play), but the multiplayer offerings feel like Infinity Ward is trying to cram a round peg into a square hole.

It's not what we're used to, it's not what we want, and the changes made to the online matchmaking set-up and lack of dedicated servers negatively change the online experience. It's just that simple.

There is no easy verdict here, but I'm going to say skip the PC version. Why? The single-player is over quickly. The Special Ops missions are great but there are better co-op games out there. The multiplayer is going to be huge on consoles, but on the PC it's just crippled. There is a lot of fun to be had here, but there are way better ways to spend your money, especially with the $60 price.
The Good

* Strong, disturbing single-player game
* Looks, plays great on the PC
* Killstreaks in multiplayer are a great addition
* Online play is still addictive
* Good selection of maps and game modes
* Special Ops missions extend the life of the game, great with a friend online

The Bad

* Single-player is over quickly
* The actual story is a little bit on the paranoid, gun-porn side of things
* Console-style online play on the PC
* $60 for a PC release? No thanks, guys
* Both the company and retailers barely seems to care about the PC version

The Ugly

* Huge design problems with the multiplayer version
* The game is already in the expected places. PC gamers will feel spurned and pirate, and Activision will claim they don't support the PC better because of piracy

Verdict: Skip

It's a console game...it really isn't designed for PC anymore.

ya, i hate how they never focus on PC games anymore, ya there is piracy... but wtf FPS on controller? :s ...

at the same time, the graphics on a PC can go so much higher then on a PS3, they probably just gave up after meeting the PS3 standard...

all gamers should go on strike on some next big FPS release... no one buy their console games, and their stocks will go down!!! maybe that will pressure them to focus on PC again...

so bored now, MP is so boring.... WHEN WILL GT5 COME OUT!!!

ecsw 11-12-2009 01:42 PM

Well, I used to play only FPS on PC. But COD4 (MW1) converted me into console FPS successfully. Controller really isn't bad once you get use to it....

quasi 11-12-2009 01:53 PM

I still can't get used to playing a FPS on console. I have to be the worst player online at any given time. I can't aim worth shit so trying to shoot someone when they actually know I'm there is totally futile because I'm dead before I can even try and aim.

I basically run around trying to knife motherfuckers because if I get close I don't have to aim. 14 out of 15 times I get die but there is that 1/15 time when I'll knife a motherfucker in the face and it feels so good, I'll fist pump then high five my sleeping dog all the while shit talking to my friends about how fucking awesome I am! Then I die and realize.....I fucking suck at this game!

The key to being good is knowing every map like the back of your hand. You'll then start to know which areas to avoid, and where to hang around to pick off unsuspecting noobs.

One of the pirated versions of MW2 you need to add it to steam to play.

twitchyzero 11-12-2009 02:39 PM

^ lol that's a pretty funny image
im sure you cant go online with that...hamachi servers are full of d-bags.

i played like 10 min each of SP and MP on PC so far..no complaints as of yet.
trying to keep my KDR @ 2:1

Ya but if they made a game with crazy crazy graphics that requires a top-notch pc to run, they'll a lot of pc users as only the hardcore ones have the money to spend on upgrading their computers all the time. A console only costs 300 now and you never have to upgrade it.

except console gamers WANT games focused on consoles. And yes piracy is an issue, why do you think MS really lays down the law on modded consoles? If they don't, developers start leaning more towards the unhacked PS3, that's only logical.
