Yes we do because I can't fucking wait until November.

Idiots not doing a Beta will end up missing out on a load of glitches.

Yeah and cheaters.

They do testing. They're doing an in-house beta. Just not a public one.

I cant remember the last time I played Overgrown on Cod4, fucking assholes glitch into the ground under the fence and cant be killed. Times like that I wish I could reach throw a fucking tv and punch someone in the face.

Ruins the fucking game.

Finally got to level 65 on World at War and the Flamethrower is awesome. :D

Yeah but stupid little glitches like people melting into the ground at one specific point by doing one specific thing won't be noticed until theres thousands playing regularly.

Those glitches are hilarious. There was this one level where you could go into the pipes underground and shoot all the people walking through the tunnel. And going to the top of the buildings in Old School mode

New, small detail: Dual wield perk.

No conformation for that on multiplayer yet.

Capture the flag, cool.

Host migration, sweet. No more Host Ended Game bullshit I hope.

There is so much I like about that video I don't know where to start.

Oh hell of course I do. HE FUCKING THREW A KNIFE AT THAT GUY.

MOAR :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:

Here's a bigger, better quality version.

Love the way the blood is on the screen when you're near death.

Killstreak rewards: UAV, Airdrop, Predator Missile.

Check the way the radar fades out when the player approaches Fourzerotwo at the end of the video. New way of UAV Jammer working?

He fucking threw a knife at that guy.

Bummer, I wanted to see him call in that predator missile and do some damage.

Fucking hell, looks awesome.

Throwing your knife better mean you lose it though, can see people becoming annoyingly good with that unless they make sure its fairly unaccurate and has little range since its a guarenteed one shot kill.

Microsoft Releasing 250GB Xbox 360 For Modern Warfare 2



<!-- google_ad_section_start --> http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...x_mwbundle.jpgInfinity Ward announced at a press event in Los Angeles today that, to commemorate the release of the game, Microsoft will be releasing a brand new model of the Xbox 360 based on Modern Warfare 2.
This new console will be black, with Modern Warfare 2 branding, and will also come packing a 250GB HDD and two wireless controllers. It'll be $399, and is apparently already available for preorder.
More details to come.

PRO PERKS. DEATHSTREAKS. SUPPRESSED SNIPER RIFLES. Continuous state of orgasm for the last 10 minutes. Can't. Fucking. Wait. for this game.

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/ca...-warfare/56042

Czech the Predator Missile at the end. Hottttttttttt.

Suppressed sniper rifles. Balance restored.

A lot of this is gonna be polarizing. Suppressed snipers (and shottys). A perk that can effectively give you infinite grenades and ammo. A perk that gives you longer melee range. Deathstreaks (even though they don't seem powerful by any means). UAV being able to be shot down. A way to respawn wherever you like. Lots of people are gonna hate this stuff.

I am not one of them.

Proponents of game balance (like me) would. It's basically an officiated cheat-code arms race. I think CoD can survive without the wackier perks (or any).

Yes, I'm aware you can lock all the perks via private games.

I have enough faith in Infinity Ward as a developer to believe that they've got everything more or less balanced out. A lot of details we don't know.

Reading that article, the thought that popped into mind was "Holy fuck, this game is gonna be chaos". You're gonna be in battles against a much wider variety of opposition than COD4. Silenced snipers, Riot shielded shotgunners, commandos who specialize in melee and throwing knives, ACOG'd grenade launchers, dual wielding pistoleros throwing semtex, all with their own set of killstreaks that you're not gonna have a damned clue about until they get broken out. You're gonna need to adapt, to toss out your old strategies and classes and create brand new ones, to fly by the seat of your pants and hope you've got enough skill to come out looking good.

How can you not be excited by that.

There's controlled fun chaos and "Fuck this shit!" chaos. It's sounding like the latter right now.

As you said the dev team must know something we don't if they can introduce such elements and still deem it playable and fun (with no beta testing, no doubt). And all the videos didn't look as chaotic as the elements hint at.

Being open minded here, but I always found the Perk system a drag for CoD.

That 360 looks sexy, do want.

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/ca...-warfare/56044

.44 Magnum, baby. Couple of new perk names, Marathon and Lightweight. Famas looks M16-powerful.

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/hi...-warfare/56050

The Highrise map.

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/ca...-warfare/56048

Silenced shotty makes a brief appearance. Is that a gametype called Demolition? Accolades. Nice. Reminds me of Goldeneye.

Honestly the only thing I'm slightly concerned about at this point is that it doesn't seem like the guns have much recoil.

With all the problems my 360 is having, I may go grab that special edition.

Speaking of that special edition 360, who's got pre-order rights to that?

Gamestop already. 50 dollar minimum

So Demolition is like Search and Destroy only with respawns?

So it basically is only you have to destroy both targets.

Will this game have War? Didn't really like that one for World at War.

reserved it today. :D

Yeah, my bro said he's jumping on that. This is good for me because he just got a 120gig HDD and that's gonna need a new home...

The HDD was the biggest appeal for me. My 20 gig is full and it's a pretty good deal.

Still got 60 gig on my 120 and I have about 6 games installed. :cool:

250gigs could last someone the rest of the console's lifecycle.

Oh shit, suppressed sniper rifles.

Quick look at the Afghan map.

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/af...-warfare/56082

There's some other new vids up, but they don't show anything that isn't in all the other ones from the multiplayer event.

Heartbeat sensor on the 50 cal. Definitely gonna make dealing with snipers more interesting.

Way too many meta-games going on, TBH.

Too many what now?

I rather not explain, I will later.

So do I see custom titles/icons like in SF4?

Got the new OXM, and they have a good article on the co-op mode. Love OXM, btw. Only gaming mag now that EGM is gone, that consistantly has info I havn't seen on the net.

ANYHOO

Apparently Co-op mode is not some tacked on mode like in WaW, and is so big it is actually it's own seperate game. 23 different missions using rearranged versions of the sp maps, to suit whatever game type it is.

Coop is called SpecOps, actually. Game types:

Assault: Sends you through a level to take down a target in a certain time frame, while avoiding civilians.

Stealth: Sneaking past everyone

Wave Defense: Horde/Firefight type mode

Elimination: Drops you in a level with a set number of respawning enemies, and you have to kill them all.

But there's more to it than that. There are lots of neat ideas that are thrown into these missions to spice things up and add to the experience. I'll put them in spoilers just in case some people don't want the surprise ruined, but two of the moments mentioned were:



Sounds so fucking good.

G, you're doing all the coop stuff with me and me only.

Tough shmuff/ Hang shmang/ Eddie shmeddie/ Zofo shmofo

You're doing them with me.

dibs

Is there just 2 players on co op or can there be 4.

Nah, 2 player max.

I will need a co-op partner. Please submit a resume to me if you wish to be considered.

I'll do it.

My resume is I'm Fignuts.

Maybe the two of you should team up for the MW2 tourney or whatever which WILL HAPPEN

I think I am already with Diesel Mac.

No homo.

Me, Blitz and Figs can team if you guys get a third.

If this works out we can mix it up too once in a while.

Honestly, DS, Requiem, and whichever of their group they get for a third, are going to destroy everyone.

Hot shit

After watching a series of multiplayer videos, I'm as excited for this as I have ever been for any game. November needs to hurry the fuck up.

I heard that this game is gonna have it's own variation of WaW nazi zombie thing. Which sounds great, and can only imagine how fun that will be. Another thing I would love for this one to have is WaW's unlockable Custom Weapon slots. Thought that was pretty cool, and actually gave you something for going through all the trouble of prestiging multiple times, besides a crummy old medal.

Also hoping my favorite perk JUGGERNAUT is still around. I never grow tired of hearing nerdy she-man throwing outrageous bitch fits about my juggernauting. lol.

Let's not get too ahead of ourselves. I can have a hell of a match when I want to.

It is one of the gayer perks.

How so?

It just isn't a fun element.

Rubbish. I have a blast when some dude comes up behind me and empties a clip in my back, only for me to turn around and dome him with my shotty.

I seriously don't get the hate for juggernaut, it is a very useful perk. Some weapon classes are dependent on it.(shotgun, knifing, etc.) Plus if your using stopping power than they basically just cancel each other out. Do you dislike stopping power too? As they're cut from the same cloth of sorts really.

I think Kalyx just hates perks, period :roll:

It's okay. Let him have his moment in the sun. When the time comes, there's going to be a huge reality check. ;)

Of course you don't understand, because you're one of the little bitches who use it. Grow a fucking pair, man. I bet you also use martydumb. :roll:

This pretty much speaks for itself, that you find little wrong with the fact that you survived an ambush because of some attribute boost and not your own flank awareness - and you're damn proud of it, too.

I'll also reference this post in an article about the 'playing to win' mentality in a future thread.

um...I wasnt talking about myself.

Somebody got their hands on this early. First mission complete gameplay has leaked to the net.

Haha Kalyx I obviously was joking a little with you about the getting jumped from behind bit. But still if some dumb ass charges me with an almost empty clip and tries to finish me off before reloading, their gonna be embarrassed.

So your basically saying any perk that boosts an attribute is cheap? Get the hell out of here dude.

Playing to win? Wtf? I admitted to having a knifing class in my prior post, so I must be out to win at all costs. Fun be damned.(Even though I have won a fair few matches with my knife lmao.) I say it's called playing smart if anything. If I jump in a free for all match, I can safely assume that 3/4ths of the people in there are using stopping power as so many people depend on it. So when I use juggernaut it shuts down their perk and puts us back on a level playing field. How cheap of me.

Oh and G I already addressed you in my first post buddy. It was the bit about nerdy she man and their constant bitching. And yeah I use martyrdom whenever the situation calls for it, like playing headquarters, or on small maps. Back to my playing smart argument.

I know, I was referring to the golden pedestal you're putting DS and Req on.

The people who play smart rarely play free-for-all or headquarters.

What's Req's s/n?

Have we played him?

As far as game design and gameplay philosophy is concerned, we're in different tiers. So just wait for the thread before you argue the idea.

Actually I think req was just above average. DS was insane tho. Getting 40-60 kills everytime in regular team deathmatches.

Yeah may be, but those are basically the only two game modes I play. With maybe the occasional Sabotage thrown in every now then.

Mind you, I'm not dissing your skills.

No worries I didn't take it as such. I mean I'm just really curious as to why juggernaut has always been looked down upon so much, when in my eyes its a viable choice for a perk. Either way I await your thread you talked about earlier.

Also taking a skip on that video Clockshot posted as I don't see a reason why to spoil it for myself. If I had watched the video for the ship mission on COD 4 prior to its release I couldn't see myself enjoying it as much as I did. But I can't say it isn't very tempting.

As soon as someone finds out I want to know ALL of the Multiplayer modes. Also, I want to know how many maps there are out of the box and what they are if possible.

Seriously?
