Yikes. Apparently some people are completing the single-player in less than 5 hours.

All the quicker to get to the multiplayer I suppose...

Difficulty level "recruit" that explains it.

Yep, that's why I added the bit about the multiplayer. Seems like some people only play the single-player out of some weird sense of obligation instead of just jumping into the multiplayer which is why they really bought the game in the first place.

And COD4 SP was also about 5 hours. Par for the course unfortunately. Although it sounds like Spec Ops adds a fair amount of co-op length and replayability outside of the full-on MP mode (which is the main draw anyway).

Just picked up my copy at gamestop. They had a lot of extra copies and best buy had a TON of copies at the front of the store. They must have sent out a ton of copies to stores.

I'll be on later tonight around 8:00 or so if any of you guys are around.

You're on my XBL friend's list, hopefully I'll catch you online!

I get home from vacation early thursday morning and will be spending pretty much the entire day away from work playing this. I can't wait! MP straight away!

 

[Razgriz]

I've only played campaign so far, but damn it is good, and so intense.

 

[viivo]

I'll be online tonight if anybody wants to join up.

It's been a long time since I played MW1 (I gameflied it and just played the SP campaign when it was released) but I don't recall it being 60FPS like MW2. That really surprised me about MW2 - I haven't noticed the framerate drop once and it still looks pretty good.

 

[R Nilla]

My copy is waiting for me at my front door. Can't wait!

Special ops is a zillion times more fun with a friend. Definitely a great addition, love how they brought some old missions back.

We need to get an Anandtech clan and have game nights for MW2. I'd really like to play some CTF or search and destroy with a good group of guys.

Sounds good to me, as long as chrisg isn't allowed to play. I hear he's good....

Either MP gaming has passed me by... or..?

Getting absolutely raped, then beaten, then raped again in MP. Realize that the controls and timing are very different, but I've gone from 10 to 1 average K/D ratios in BF1943 to the reverse on this game.

How do you fuckers see through walls and around corners? People freaking know I am there and run right at me, guns blazing and Ive done nothing to reveal my position. Wow so frustrating.

 

[nycxandy]

Awesome, my Xbox 360 decides to RROD tonight. I had to run to Best Buy to pick up the 360 LE Edition.

 

[fatpat268]

Jesus... fuck MW2. The fact that I can't do a team deathmatch and a party chat... well that sucks.

It's killed almost all interest in me playing multiplayer. I loved the fact that by being in party chat (in cod4) I didn't have to hear all the whiny brats and the douchebags that yell at everything.

 

[mugs]

Man, I love this game.

Does it block private chat, or just party chat? Is there a multiplayer map in the US suburbs?

 

[fatpat268]

It blocks party chat in TDM... which was the mode I played 75% of the time.

I'm really bummed because I'm always in a group of friends, and we're not necessarily playing the same game all the time.

 

[Schfifty Five]

What's the deal with not being able to invite/join parties?

I had to search google and one solution is to send the invite, have the person sign out of PSN, then sign back in and accept to join.

They better fix this soon, ugh.

one big complaint with the online multiplayer - emblems are stupid and titles are stupid - they're distracting and take up the right hand corner of my screen. also, i shouldn't have to see fucking 5 notifications on my screen for killing 1 guy - "1 shot 1 kill, longshot, headshot, revenge, and buzzkill"

the emblems and player names only pop up when someone does something 'special' it isnt all the time.

and the notifications are to let you know why you earned more than 100pts for a kill.

but yes, i aree, the notificatiosn can be distracting
