Modern Warfare 2 - who´ll grab it?
- Thread starter Felix Neumann
- Start date
I don´t know how it is in the States, but the 360 is much cheaper than the PS3 here. That would definitively speaks for a 360 as well. I don´t know how often it still happens with the red ring of death, but if it does happen, the Microsoft service is excellent und you get it fixed fast.
I have both consoles, but if I´d choose - I take the PS3, because of the free online gaming. And holy shit the 360 is loud as hell. I hate it!

wut?
Wow.
Quake 3's THE shit anyway.
Yeah man it's modified to the point of it basically not being the quake 3 engine anymore, but even WaW had this thing that the Q3 engine is famous for..
Basically, when you have 125 frames per second you can jump just a little bit higher, which lead to this phenomenon called "strafe jumping" where you run at a jump diagonally and flick the mouse as though it adds momentum. This combined with the higher jump at 125 fps lets you jump further.
As far back as CoD 1, there was this scene called "codjumping" that emerged where people made specific like jump courses and discovered these crazy routes around the stock maps that would be otherwise inaccessible.
And this is still going on in World At War, the 5th game in the series. I have no reason to doubt that MW2 will also have codjumping going on. The graphics don't look overly spruced up compared to CoD 4 so yeah.
Plus a 2 year development cycle doesn't allow time for them make a whole new engine.
For that sort of thing you need a 4-6 year development cycle at the least. See Half-Life 2, Doom 3, Gears Of War, etc. Well GoW didn't exactly have a 4-6 year dev cycle but they were working on Unreal Engine 3 (which GoW runs on) back before Half-Life 2 came out, so as early as 03, maybe 02. Gears 1 didn't come out til... What.. 06? 07?

Having played COD WAW on both consoles I know I'm better on the PS3. The joysticks are much more touchy, and I like that. When I had the original Xbox and played halo 1 I had to turn the sensitivity (er speed) all the way up because that's how I roll. 
Yeah I'm a PS3 fanboy.

Germans - DO NOT BUY THE GERMAN VERSION. Since today we know, IT IS CUT after all, contrary to the early delivery of activision.

The reason for this is that the "physics" of Quake 3 are interlaced within the graphics engine, and not only will it make you jump higher, but the game will react sooner to keypresses(as it reacts to the next drawn frame.).
Im 99.9% sure that in WaW it works because they basically made it possible through the physics engine, they made it on purpose(In Q3 its technically a bug.).
Finished the single player today.
EPIC WIN
The game is even more intense and cinematographic than the first Modern Warfare. They´ve kept what was good (gameplay, sound, graphics, GUI, menus, etc) and boosted every other detail. Activision should really remove the brand Call Of Duty of the Modern Warfare games. The only thing I missed was the boosted gore from World at War. FAL shots should make gibs fly all over the place.
Holy shit, WaW had gib? Maybe I should play that one after all (I usually really don't like WWII games)

As a hardcore PC gamer for over 17 years now, I have to chime in to say, "No, I won't be buying it."
PC users are getting shafted with this version. No dedicated servers, 18 player limit for multiplayer matchups, etc. etc. A total console port. It's really disgusting, considering IW made thier names as PC developers.
...And an online petition from PC gamers to IW... fast approaching 200,000 signatures...
http://www.petitiononline.com/dedis4mw/
..and the protest thread on IW's forum. Interestingly enough, it's been "accidentally" erased several times.

IW blows dick. It's great to see so many PC guys banding together. I canceled my preorder earlier today.

Revel in this, bitch.
There is an enourmus discussion about some things Infinitiy wards has done. The biggest scandal actually is the fact, THAT THEY HAVE LIED about the German version. Ceremoniously introduced an UNCUT version of MW2 in the last weeks....and now it´s cut after all (the scene at the airport..owners of this version are not allowed to kill civilians) The fact, that they´ve lied because of selling strategy, is a scandal! I cancelled and ordered the GB version.
Beside that, I´m looking forward to play the game. Especially the multiplayer
