The "Sony Games" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
This thread has been linked to the game 'Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2'.
As the most anticipated game of the year is released today, we need a place to discuss the happenings and to arrange games!
A few people asked for this to be created and so here we go.
Trusting everyone has their copy now, so let the fun begin tonight.
I, along with several others will be on Xbox but i know some are Ps3, but its the same game so no point in two threads!

Finally got to play this online last night,its good fun,not massively different to COD4 but still enjoyable enough.Got my ass well and truly owned but what the hell,found starting off not knowing the maps and with girly guns to be pretty challenging though.

Don't want to butt in on a MW2 console debate, but I do have to agree with you - still wondering how Price keeps so young?
Now, I know you play PC MW2 online Alfonse, and so do I now (finally), but having achieved level 15 major general status, I'm getting really bored with the repetitive maps, repetitive snipers, repetitive whatever...this is down to the repetitiive nature of the game..........or is it just that I'm an old, tired, couldn't give-a-damn, seen it all before, sergeant:-)

You sir are correct!
I enjoyed it, and it was great tbh. But at the same time it was awful........ The story was like a rollercoaster ride that wasn't quite good, just mental. (The Samurai on Serpent Sidewinder mode for example)

It was really epic, and beautiful, don't get me wrong. The problem is, I've actually had longer baths than it took me to complete the game. The storyline was completely ridiculous and embarassing too, the ending felt rushed and the whole plot was an offensive mess that could have been penned by a teenage schizophenic.
To describe my major gripe with the game, ll have to take it back to Dreamcast with a scene from Sonic Adventure one. There was a section where you were running along a boardwalk that was being torn up by killer whales. You coud also take your hands of the controls and Sonic would survive regardless. This is a little how I felt when playing this game, I could only take so many outrageous vehicle sequences, missile firings, and button press moments before I felt like a baby with keys being dangled in front of him.

At least someone agrees :D
The "too good" thing is ok. I am not great at it. It's the shanking thing and the I'll run round this corner and shoot here...... dead. You never know what setup they have though, so it might just be planning. FMJ etc.
But I just didn't think the game was as good as it was meant to be. A 4 hour campaign? Get real.
Spec Ops is really good though, and almost covers the fact that the campaign is a let down.
It really is Modern Warfare 1.5. That's ok, but we played MW to death. ...........
...........for that reason, I'm out.

I know what you mean. I wouldn't be too chuffed if I'd bought it (instead of playing on my flatmates Xbox.. more than him). Gotta say the main reason is that there are so many people who are 'too good'.
I mean I'll literally go through about five or so maps trying Team Deathmatch, Ground War and Demolition before there's finally one where the opposite team isn't comprise of several people in prestige mode, a couple who are on their third run through and the rest in the high 60s.
It is the annoyance factor of spawning and instantly being shot dead, being killed by ridiculous shots through cover and things 'not working' when you press them. You know, FIFA style "that was definitely in" moments, where you've shanked the person right next to them but oh wait it didn't work, you try and fail again, somehow, then get shot in the head by his team mate. Great.
The levels aren't really what I was expecting either, there's a view too many that annoy me and the option to host your own match with the levels you want seems to exclusively involved inviting your friends list in.

Agree with alfonse. That set up is killer. Except for those guys that are "too good"......
You know the ones I'm on about. When you watch the Kill Cam, and they are running along and BAM! they see the tiniest part of you breath in a window, then shoot 2 bullets at your foot.... and you drop dead instantly. Through a wall. And a box. And some random sheep. You get the point.
I'm going to say something odd now. I'm realy really glad I bought it at Sainsbury's for £25 squids now. Why? Because if I had bought it for full price........ I would have felt ripped off. Anyone else strangely bored of it?

It's Commando Pro that gives no fall damage..
Gotta agree the run and shank approach is effective.. just need the attachment and the Ranger Akimbo and I'd be good to go

Don't really use guns that much anymore.
Sub-machine gun for mobility.
Magnum with tactical knife attachment.
Marathon Pro
Lightweight Pro
Commando Pro (No falling damage)
You can freerun and dodge bullets.
Only unlocked the tactical knife yesterday and I racked up a 7 killstreak with it. On wastelands

White open maps are horrible. Estate, wasteland, skidrow are horrific to play as everyone simply camps.
But in team games they can be entertaining. Except estate. That one is a snipers paradise. Get most of your mates into the house, hunker down and it turns into a fort and you're untouchable unless they use absolute brute force or a lot of luck. Satisfying to run into the front entrance with a shotgun and rip the whole lot of them ot shreds though. I also stick claymores on the main entrance to annoy people even more.
High rise is probably my fav map as its generally fairly symmetrical and thus balanced. All the other maps are uneven and in domination some people have bigger advantages then others...
