Modern Warfare 2 - WITH SPOILERS

[kyser_soze]

Just finished the campaign. What a bastard Sheperd was. Wonder what the hell the story for ModWar3 will be.

Price and Soap nuke more of the US?

Nikolai takes us to his place. Actually, hope that he'd be a bigger player than just a POW and handy pilot...

MOAR!!!

Tbh, the single player's a load a bollox, had far more fun playing Serious Sam HD over the w/e

Just go this for £18 on ebay. Quite enjoying the campaign so far but I agree the story is a load of old tosh. Just playing through the wolverine level at the mo.

Take-down was a nightmare but a good fun level. Has anyone completed it on veteran.

 

[kained&able]

go to like the third mission(the one where you end up in aghetto shooting your way through and chasing someone on a roof top) on veteran and it kained me hard. Way above my pay grade!

[Chester Copperpot]

That's the one I mean. I'm playing through on the normal difficulty and it was ridiculously hard then!

 

[kained&able]

innit just! I'm really not quick enough with my aiming for that shit storm. The stealthy stuff is fairly easy still on veteren but that one can go fuck itself. The oil derrick thingy in the ocean would be even sillier on veteren. I struggled with that on normal.

Funny, played it last night for the first time in months. Still quite enjoyed it but it's had it's day for me...not sure I'll be bothering with either the new CoD or MoH either...BFBC2 is still kicking ass for me and with the new 'Nam DLC coming I'll be still playing in the New Year...

 

[kyser_soze]

Does BFBC come with a split screen multiplayer mode for the main missions, or something like the Spec Ops in CoD? Or is the multiplayer online only?

Not sure, never needed to do that...it doesn't have a straight out spec ops thing but has a newish gameplay called assault, where you and three others take on different missions in a kinda campaign style setting.

 

[kyser_soze]

Hmm. Might have to investigate. As I've said before, I much prefer in-room split-screen gaming to online - nothing better that headshotting a person sitting next to you

Heh with head sets it makes less a difference when it's with mates I find, you can still hear them screaming abuse at you while you laugh at them.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Finished it over the weekend. Have to agree with the general consensus that it's not as good as Modern Warfare however still really enjoyed it. Particularly liked the Oil Rig and Gulag levels as well as the Takedown Mission. Also like the level near the end set in the airplane graveyard.

Where they have really improved on the last game is the inclusion of the special ops that you can unlock which look like hours of fun.

Now to play through again on Veteran.

 

[cybershot]

No.

1. You can choose not to play the level

2. You are playing an undercover operative and are expected to join in the slaughter of cilvilians at an airport as part of a wider story arc. Your character is shot by one of his erstwhile allies at the end of the level irrespective of how many civvies and airport guards you shoot.

So whatever you do, your character at that moment dies. If you kill a civilian at any other point in the game you lose and have to start the level again.

Jeeez, that's the level that get's cut. Here's me god knows how many levels through thinking, when am i going to get to the be-heading level or something.

Awwwww.

played this for the frst time in months yesterday.

am liking the "new" maps but there are a LOT of wallhackers etc out there.


shame

 

[TitanSound]

Christ, is wallhacking still around?

 

[Pingu]

oooh yeah

wsa speccing a guy n my team yesterday and he wsnt even bothering to hide it.

 

[TitanSound]

Jesus. I remember it being a big problem in Battlefield 1942. Thought they would have gotten rid of it by now though.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

What's the point in cheating....

I really don't get it.

 

[TitanSound]

Well with the games that have been coming out in the last few years it has become more rife because of the "XP" points and the like leading to unlocks. People who cannot be arsed/have no skill want to take the shitty route to receiving them.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

I'd have though it would be pretty easy for the developers to prevent this though. Make the software recognise when someone makes an impossible move within the engine.

 

[Pingu]

there are various anti cheat systems in use, vac etc

they deter some but not others.

plus there are new cheats comming out all the time so inevitably the anticheat stuff lags behind.

Dammit! icanhazforce is offline, and there's a great little vid called lolz reBlz hax0r d3th st4r

 

[TitanSound]

When I was a server admin for our clans game servers, I used to get asked to spectate on high scoring players just to make sure they were not fucking around. If I saw any funny business, instant ban.

 

[cybershot]

only started playing it last friday, but already completed single player campaign in just over 7 hours. Incredibly short and left me hungry for more. Probably just as well black ops is around the corner. Played online for first time this evening but got well and truly p//wned.

Are the special ops stuff worth bothering with?

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Some of the special ops are great fun.

Did you finish on veteran?

 

[cybershot]

No chance, normal diff. FPS are not usually my type of game, however I really enjoyed the single player campaign on this.
