The whole contents just seem too close to what a whole lot of fanboys have been wishing for (return of the Drag and Skorp, new perks) for me to believe it's true. On top of that the one thermal perk seems really strange. Plus that's a lot of DLC for one pack.
|
Goddamn, I want the Dragunov back :(
Also, rocknig the iPWN clan tag :cool: |

Yes, it is very cool man. You should try it, it says iPWN, kinda like iPHONE but, you know...not.

I did not know this. This makes it even cooler.

that iPWN tag is pretty clever and innovative

Getting a ton of kills in domination is not that impressive.
|
Ok, lets see you post a better score then.
|
How else are you supposed to get a ton of kills? Deathmatch? 7500 point cap makes it a little difficult.
64 and 4 is a somewhat impressive score for people who don't play this game competitively/all the time. Yeah, there are better players out there, who do it consistently.. but why shouldn't he be happy about getting a score like that? I would be thrilled to go 64 and 4. My highest streak at the moment is 29, in which I got a nuke. |
Also, it may or may not have had much to do with the other team. They may or may not have been bad. But the fact that it appears several others on his team did good also, helps bigtime. When the rest of your team are killing machines, it makes you that much better and able to get higher killstreaks.

It was on Highrise as previously stated, I was sniping and using claymores as much as possible and as you all know, when enemies go through the passage-way below the surface I kind of cant shoot them and have to watch my back all the time to make sure a shothgun isnt pointed at it. There were several times I was noob-tubed/RPGd and I had to hit the ground to recover so it wasnt like I had an incredibly easy time doing it. It also helped loads when your teammates arent fucktards, as Alvarado held down the fort while I ran to the back of the tower to drop my killstreaks out of harms way. |
I bet BDSF goes 4-64 most of the time; it's why he's hatin'.
|
Okay, so if I were to get this now, would I be fucked in the learning curve or the leveling system? Would I have enough time to justify the purchase at this point in the release to MW3 (if it's even coming anytime soon)? Keep in mind I've played some shooters extensively but not anything modern outside of L4D2.
|
lol the leveling system does not matter at all. literally AT ALL.
Considering all weapons/perks are reset every prestige, there are plenty of people on the same page as you all the time. There's really not much of a learning curve.. it's a shooter with a few extras. You either 'get it', or you don't. Some people are just better at it than others. |
The only real learning curve is how fast you learn the maps really, once you know the hotspots and high traffic areas it gets really easy.

wat
|
Robert Bowling was on a podcast tonight confirming a bunch of stuff with the DLC. 3 new maps called Bailout, Salvage, and Storm, along with Crash and Overgrown returning. 1200 MSP. Crash and Overgrown will be tweaked for MW2 features, and there will be a patch released at the same time as the DLC. Unsurprisingly, the perks/weapons stuff was BS.
|
Listening to the podcast, sounds like Bailout is gonna be more sniper friendly, while Salvage will be more of a Scrapyard-esque firefight. Bowling specifically said that camping will be a tough proposition on Salvage. Sounds like the playlist updates will be more inserting maps and new versions of current playlists (Hardcore Mosh Pit) than flat out new modes, so I wouldn't be expecting Global Thermonuclear War quite yet.

|
Yeah that sounds too cheap. Wouldn't be on it. More like 800 probably.
|
Christ I hate MSP, couldnt they just charge money for it?
Anyways, had an excellent match tonight, 23-1-0 :) |
Word on the street is that the upcoming MW2 map pack is going to be 15 bucks.
You guys have fun with that. |
Free for PC, free for PC, free for PC, free for PC, c'mon, free for PC...
|
Misspell there. 1200MSP. Fixed now.
|
Figured it was too good to be true. Seriously 19.99 for 1200 points, what fucking bullshit.
I could get a decent greatest hits game for the same price as a few maps? |
Let the bitching....continue.
|
Seriously, 4 bucks a map.
The game was $75, costs whatever a month for XboxLive and now $20 for 5 maps. This is madness. |
1200 points is pretty spendy...the shitty thing is, you know people will buy 'em. Good thing i got my income tax return.
|
Damn, steep. Oh well us fools and our money will soon be parted. :(

Didn't COD4 break if you didn't have a map pack? Like not totally, but it would kick you out of lobbies if you didn't have the map picked?
Hopefully they've fixed the matchmaking so it doesn't put yu in lobbies with the map selected (not bloody likely) |

i love how people say 'online is free' blah blah blah...you get what you pay for, remember that.
Edit: Besides, its Activision people....what do you expect? They are as bad as EA. |
Activision are much, much worse than EA these days.
Don't worry anyways, the next MW will have a monthly fee for online. I can almost assure you of that. |

Infinity Ward may have tried to distance itself from the rumors about the Call of Duty franchise going down Subscription Lane™, but Activision head honcho Bobby Kotick said otherwise during the publishing giant's recent earnings call. "If you think about the success that we've had in other product categories on subscription, you can get a sense of the direction that we want to take that franchise," he said. Infinity Ward distancing themselves from it before is said to be one of the things the heads of lost their job over |
Aren't they're supposed to be developing a sort of Call Of Duty RTS type game or something? I'd think that would be the subscription based one. Putting the regular series on a monthly thing would alienate far more fans then would be worth it.
|
I would just go back to playing Killzone 2.
|
I dont like the thought of paying to play COD along with having to pay to play COD.
Fucking retarded. Now if they set up a cheat reporting system, gave all DLC free to subscribers and stuff like that, then I could foresee it being a decent idea, so all in all, its not. |
Quote:
|
With XBL being 9.99 a month base (cheaper when you buy more) a subscription of even $5 would make it $15 a month, which is almost enough to buy a decent greatest hits game or second hand game somewhere.
I dont mind paying for XBL, but having to pay on top of that to play a certain game is what really irks me and god forbid if every popular online game does that. |
I wouldn't mind $5 a month. Anymore than that and it gets dicey though. But if there was a decent amount of DLC that came free with that, I might be more inclined.
|
Yeah, while it wouldn't be for me personally even at $5, I don't even think they'd be stupid enough to try and gouge more than that out of it.

But like i said before, still bullshit. I mean take a look at games that have a subscription such as WoW, Eve Online, Etc. You pay for Internet and the Subscription fee, which together for me would be $80 per month (of course I do other things with the net) So the subscription for that is like a tax really. Then you have the idea of paying, $X a month to play a game, which you need to pay $10-$15 a month to access the ability to play online, which you have to pay $65 a month to actually be able to do any of this. I know I am complaining alot but I really dont like paying for something more then once. |

FA, do you pay for XBL monthly?
|
No, but I have.
I usually buy the 3 month card as its between the monthly and yearly (which is by far the best as its average is $5 a month, but I dont have $70 to blow at the moment, when I get my income tax, definitely) |
I honestly can't believe I'm still on Gold and they haven't charged me for 2 years. Same old expired card on account with no available cash.
|
What, FA? They are like $40 USD online. That comes out to $3.33 a month. Why would you not buy an entire year at a time in the first place?
|
yeah dunno anyone that doesn't pay for it yearly.
|
Also, anyone who bitches about the fact that XBL isn't free can stfu.
$3.33 a month for a quality service is really nothing. Hell, millions of people pay $10-$15 a month for MMOs, and that is just for the recurring use of a single product on top of their original purchase price and expansions. |
i wouldnt even worry about it. 1) Its stupid to charge to play a game, unless its f'ing massive and constantly update (MMORPGS) 2) even if the old IW execs dont win in getting control of the Modern Warfare franchise, im almost certain theyll upon a studio, pull in all the IW team, and make a game similar to MW.
Wouldnt worry about budgets or publishers either, something tells me they wont have a problem finding a backer. |

There were rumors about a Modern Warfare MMO going around, FYI.
Doubt it will happen, or that it would be good if it did. Would be whored out to no end, ala Blizzard-style. Gonna make a thread soon about another MMOFPS in the making though. |

If you get ripped off ordering online, you probably deserved that too.
Order from a reputable source, and you won't get ripped off. Pretty simple concept. |
I understand people feeling like the DLC is overpriced. It is, a little. But in the end it's like $15. It's a couple of fast food meals. It's not gonna kill anyone's bank account, and it's not like there's DLC coming out every month costing this much. What annoys me much more is the vehemence and venom with which the community is railing against this. Can't go to any COD message boards right now because there's too much bitching. Granted, the online COD community seems to be made up largely of equal parts 12 year olds and retards so you expect stupidity, but the sense of entitlement is just staggering. That's what Icebox's arguments in this thread are reminding me of.

oh cmon man, amazon.com? I understand buying from some places, but there are clear reputable places online that sell at good prices. Amazon a week back had 1 yr cards for $35. |
To be fair, Amazon is pretty useless to us Canadians, as they don't ship here. We have Amazon.ca, which is just awful.
|
Weren't the Map packs for the last 2 COD's 10 bucks? Oh noes, 5 bucks more!
|
Not that I give a shit, but two of the 5 maps are just ports, and there are way better ways to spend money on XBL than that shit.
|
But Crash is awesome. Hopefully they'll have seperate playlists to only play on the new maps, instead of just inserting them into the normal ones.

Also don't think 15 bucks is too much for 5 maps, when we paid ten for 3 last go around. |

One other problem, are the maps bug and glitch free before they put them out? Equipped the nuke last night, some fucker found me at 24 kills while I was using the chopper gunner :(

Yes, in a huge game like Modern Warfare 2, it's probably really really simple to check for every single possible exploit and/or error in code. No problems there.
Seriously, I think I hate the bitching about glitches more than anything else about COD's community. Fuck's sake. Despite the cries of horror from the message boards, not a single glitch for this game as been even close to gamebreaking. If there was something that like caused the game to lock up and killed your hard drive or something, then yes, complain. But Javelindom? Infinite Care Packages? Big fucking deal. And it's even more asinine when you take into account the fact that that shit gets easily and quickly patched. But people want instant gratification, and if it takes more than a week to get something fixed, it's "OMG INFINITY WARD SUCKS THEY MADE SUCH AN UBER BROKEN GAME!!!!". Go ahead, keep ignoring the fact that it's a deep, addicting, gorgeous. and above all else, FUN game, and focus on the programmers missing a handful (yes that's right-HANDFUL) of glitches, that are quickly fixed once discovered. Come on. |
Hmm, I do believe there is/was a
"-1,000,000 XP hack/glitch" "10th Prestige Lobbies" "Elevators" "Wall Glitches" |
There are many known glitches/hacks/cheats that they havent fixed or took their sweet time doing something about.
I dont see that changing if they had us pay a subscription fee either, hell knowing them they might even start charging us for the goddamn patch. I love playing the game, what I dont love is playing on an uneven battlefield where some loser who sucks at the game has to ruin it for the other people playing. I honestly dont and will never understand why someone has to cheat in an online game, I mean what do you accomplish? Your e-cock is a little bigger? Who are you going to show it to, people who cheat along with you? It pisses me off to no end that people who do cheat, have nothing done to them whatsoever. It ruins the quality of play and when they ask you to pay above and beyond the cost of the game after that it really fucking pisses me off. |

idk.. I would give them more slack if they weren't owned/funded by a company with virtually limitless resources. Not harping on them for releasing maps that may or may not be buggy, as testing only does so much. But in general, I feel things could have been speedier, or they could have at least issued some sort of apology to their customers for taking so long with fixing glitches that were literally ruining the game experience for a while.
While the glitches didn't break the game, they made it completely lack fun for several weeks, nearing a month or better, while people ran rampant getting infinite care packages (and I would argue that that WAS a game-breaking glitch). The game went from "Hey that emblem is cool, how did you get it?" to "I bet you boosted to get that emblem", as well as countless people nuke boosting in FFA, or riot shield boosting all the time. Hell, I stopped playing FFA, which was one of my favorite gametypes, because every other game had nuke boosters in it. And that CAN be prevented by Infinity Ward. May not seem like a huge deal to you, but companies CAN hotfix things pretty quickly, and a company like Infinity Ward should have had no problems allocating resources to fixing the problems in the game. That said, I am glad they fixed the game at least. I think they did it just in time to prevent a mass exodus away from their game, but it didn't really scream "We care about our players". |
Makes me laugh at the idea that there could ever be a rumor about a Call of Duty MMO, because Infinity Ward would never be able to pull it off and remain a respectable company when the dust settled.
