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:

old game discs make nice coasters haha

I really really enjoyed the single player. not a fan of the mindless killing online

the co-op on World At War was much better since campaigning was available.

other than that, it was worth the rental.

It's being reported today the Microsoft
has banned up to 1 Million Xbox Live Accounts. Fresh on the heels of the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 release Microsoft has stepped up their attack on piracy by banning a mass of Xbox Live users. According to a report in InformationWeek, Microsoft has banned as many as a million players from Xbox Live for altering or modifying their consoles in order to play pirated versions of Xbox video games.

Activision's new Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 was released earlier this week, and InformationWeek has speculated that because pirated versions of the game appeared on multiple file sharing websites in before the games public release date, Activision may have put pressure on Microsoft which resulted in the Xbox Live account bans.

Microsoft said its "commitment to combat piracy and support safer and more secure gameplay for the more than 20 million members of the Xbox Live community remains a top priority. All consumers should know that piracy is illegal and modifying their Xbox 360 console violates the Xbox Live terms of use, will void their warranty and result in a ban from Xbox Live. We can assure you that if an Xbox Live member follows the Xbox Live terms of use, purchased a retail copy of Modern Warfare 2 and played the game on an unmodified Xbox 360, no action will be taken."

Over at the Xbox support page, Xbox Live Director of Programming Larry Hryb, also known as Major Nelson, has addressed some of the circumstances that could lead to a player's Xbox Live account being banned.

"Players who find their Gamertags banned from Xbox Live have wound up in that situation due to violations of the Xbox Live Terms of Use," Major Nelson wrote.

"The Xbox Live team monitors players for not just cheating, but also for things like threats, racism, profanity, and just being an all around poor sport and ruining the game for others.

"When a Gamertag comes up as violating our policies for online behavior, the person who owns that Gamertag is punished by being banned from the service. Keep in mind, this isn't just a ban on a particular game. This is a ban on the Xbox Live service as a whole, so you won't be able to go online at all during your ban. Initially, you may be banned for a day, a week, or depending on severity, permanently! Kiss that $50 goodbye."

While Microsoft has always thwarted attempts at Xbox piracy by banning Xbox Live accounts this latest round of bans is a 5% reduction of the estimated 20,000,000 players who utilize the Microsoft services to compete with other players online. Even with the Xbox Live bans players will still be able to play games on their Xbox consoles, albeit without the ability to take their games online.

5% reduction. wowzorz.

Rightfully so. If you're going to pirate a game, don't expect to play it at full capacity and on the publishers servers.

i dont know what it is that infinity ward does that treyarch doesnt, but this game and COD4 just play so fucking good and WaW just seemed to not. I could never get a good feel for WaW and stopped playing all together. COD4 is absolutely amazing and this is like COD4 with a cherry on top.

my only wishes were more hardcore game modes (i imagine they will be released later like with COD4) and about 5 of the maps are extremely similar (but I imagine a map pack will come again aswell). I saw so many cool levels in the solo campaign that i thought would be in the multiplayer but they just werent. imagine that one level in the snow at the air base where you cant see thru the fog in multiplayer! or washington burning!

edit: now that i think about it, while the maps certainly are alot more complex in MW2, alot of them dont seem to flow as well as COD4. maps like backlot, crash, crossfire, crash, strike, all had good flow thru and playability from different routes. alot of the ones on MW2 seem to be either running thru buildings like a mouse thru a swiss cheese maze, or you take 2 steps and 3 people have a direct sight line on you from halfway across the map or the layout seems completely random. i've got them mostly figured out, maybe ill learn to love them. i do already got a few that i really enjoy.

This article doesn't appear to have the facts straight. AFAIK, most Xbox Live bans on this latest ban wave have only banned Xbox console ID's. Gamertags appear to be unaffected, and can be used again on Xbox Live if you purchase a new unmodded Xbox console.

In cod4 j used to run around and get kills that way. In this version, if I do that my kdr is 1:4.

the thing that I don't like about CoD4 was how the maps were fairly small, and open. Theres typically 2 routes from one end to the other, making it pretty predictable/easier to camp. Bog, Crossfire, Countdown, Crash, Ambush, Downpour, Bloc and Wet Work are all like this, Backlot, Pipeline and Showdown are better.

I hope they come out with lots of Hardcore modes, I love HCTDM because you can actually use all the guns, stuff like the G3 is useless in non-hardcore because it takes so many shots to kill the guy when everyone has stupid Juggernaut turned on. Tactical is great as well, takes more skill and less run-and-gun, a HCTactical would be amazing.

On that, someone please tell me there's no Juggernaut perk. Please?

3rd person view multiplayer is fucken dope

^ oh yeah, forget about the 3rd person view. where can i join maps with 3rd person only?

my favorite gun in cod4 was the G3 on HCTD or HCHC. a single shot gun in MW2 is useless.

damn, I got so good with the G3 and now the M14 trying to complete the headshot challenges. So there's still no HC are all? This is depressing.

G3 people still have the FAL. Oh and has anyone been shooting down every enemy killstreak using a Stinger? It's SO much fun fucking up people's hard-earned UAV/Counter-UAVs, Harriers, Pave Lows, Apaches, and AC-130's...

I use Tar now, was using the famas before.

I actually quite like the SCAR-H. I want the holosight, but with red dot it's quite accurate and powerful.

Rapid Fire is too fast, can't control gun! :haha:
