    Modern Warfare 2 - The Official Gameplay Thread

    It's been just over six hours since I left a very cold 24 hour Tesco with a copy of MW:2 in hand and so far I'm impressed, there are a couple of minor niggles but I'll reserve judgement proper until I've spent a bit more time with it. I've put about an hour and a half into the campaign but most of my evening (and I imagine many more in the future) has spent playing playing the spec ops mode, the first sniper mission in particular, they're relatively simple scenarios but I can see me getting an awful lot of play out of them

    Anyway, that's enough of my rambling I need some sleep, there's multiplayer to get into in the morning...

    I can't belive I've had my copy since yesterday and I've not even opened it yet.

    I've got the rest of the week off work though, so there are no prizes for guessing what I'll be doing

    Once you have seen it you will never be the same
    Life in the fast lane is just how it seems

    Cracked open my Prestige Edition yesterday evening. I have to say the NVGs are pretty good despite taking 5 AA batteries! Had a quick go, the gameplay is brilliant, the graphics brilliant. This is the biggest game of the year.

    Re: Modern Warfare 2 - The Official Gameplay Thread

    Well, woke up this morning and thought, well, its quite early, might drop by Sainsburys in hemel. Went there, a few people there, they let us in at 0700 and I walked out with it for £26. Bonus is that I got into work early, so can leave early. Will have a go when I get home and report back.

    Slightly off thread, but is there a repository of gamertags anywhere? I've looked at the leaderboard sticky, is that the best place to see? I only ask because you [I]know[I] that we are going to have to have a Hexus MP session soon...

    Not got this game as I play on the PC and well due to all the crap that has come about I might not buy it or play it until IW see sense and include Dedicated servers.
    I will play it if someone bought it for me however..

    Yup, quite a big hint was dropped to the brother last night, such a shame he is crap at taking hints.

    Money isn't that much of an issue, it's the fact they have completely destroyed the multiplayer side of the game which is what I am interested in, being in a clan and all that, so we have about 12 players that were going to buy the game, that now aren't and looking towards other games, such as Bad Company 2, I.W don't realise just how much they have royally screwed up.

    Re: Modern Warfare 2 - The Official Gameplay Thread

    Got the hardened edition last night, played a bit of the single player campaign then got bored as its just more of the same and ended up on Call of Duty Classic. I am spending more time on a remake of the original CoD than I am on MW2 xD.

    The original CoD still holds more play value to me than MW2, I just can't put my finger on it, I think it could have something to do with the earlier levels feeling as if they are over with in about 10 minutes. Gonna put some more time into MW2 tonight I think.

    Re: Modern Warfare 2 - The Official Gameplay Thread

    Guys, if you still bought this dispite knowing about its flaws on the pc version of it, you only have yourself to blame really. And its people like you who give money to IW that gives them NO reason to add dedi servers etc.

    As long as IW gets your money, they dont care. Job done for them. Back on topic, i will try not to bash this game anymore but i am interested to know if the online side of this is laggy and bad just like operation flashpoint 2 which is practically dead now.

    Is this game lag free?

    Well as I am sad enough I got the PC version of this game to for the pricey sum of £10.99

    Played the PC version online and I must say, lag is actually minimal (roughly pushing around 38ms ping on my 20mb line) but you will struggle to find players I will do the SP on the PC and use the 360 version for multiplayer and do the single player I think when I am bored or at a loose end.

    Although this still doesn't change the fact that Call of Duty "Classic" is more enjoyable to play than MW2 :/

    Re: Modern Warfare 2 - The Official Gameplay Thread

    I tried at 11.30 last night and Steam let me in

    Played for an hour or so and I'm mostly quite pleased but (and I'm gonna sound like a bit of a fanboi now) it does feel very consolified compared to the last one, which I played through again the other day. Particularly the 'ice pick' section and the skidoos so far, fun but they didn't feel right. And I sorely miss the lack of being able to lean from cover, particularly having just played through the favela level.

    Re: Modern Warfare 2 - The Official Gameplay Thread

    I had a quick crack at the SP this morning before work and found it to be excellent in terms of graphics and scripting, however there is really very little in terms of gameplay mechanic upgrade from earlier CODs. Maybe that's not a bad thing.

    I couldn't even get the MP to run - it just said "Multiplayer not available at this time. Please try again later" when trying the launch it. Hopefully just a temporary glitch as I was hoping to feed back on the quality of the PC multiplayer quality.

    Yeah man, that got me to but on the 360 I don't miss it, probably as I know its not in that version. I stuck WaW on again and forgot I had the option to learn. An hour online and then I hit the E key and realised I was leaning lol. Although online with the type of player I am, I can't stand the staying still and sniping so lean is useful to the snipers, I generally get the shotguns and get close quarters so lean is used very little for myself.

    I couldn't even get the MP to run - it just said "Multiplayer not available at this time. Please try again later" when trying the launch it. Hopefully just a temporary glitch as I was hoping to feed back on the quality of the PC multiplayer quality.
    GheeTsar, I really think as PC players we are stuck to Special Ops for online gameplay. I started a MW2 online game at 12:40 when I got back from game collecting the 360 version and it took almost 40 minutes to get a full set of 9v9 luckily I was one of very few games running so people were just chatting about the single player as they waited for players to join. This could just be due to a lot of steam orders that don't unlock for a while or people picking it up today.

    I hope it's the latter, else the chance of getting a low ping match is pretty remote! Also, I imagine a few people will want to complete the SP first before embarking on the MP.
