Title: COD:Modern Battlefield 2
Post by: CountDeMoney on November 11, 2009, 08:57:43 PM
Well? Who's got it? What platform?
Any impressions?

I'm considering.

I bought it.  It unlocks on Steam in about 3 hours which will put it at about 11 O'clock here so I suppose that makes some sense.

Got it for seXbox. Pretty sweet multiplayer, which a ton of customization and unlocks, but the single-player plot line is laughably ridiculous (spoiler: Russia launches an airborne invasion of the U.S., yes, just like in Red Dawn). It does contain probably the most uncomfortable moments I've experienced in gaming (which has aroused such controversy that there's a pop-up when you start the game that allows you to skip that mission if you wish).

I have it for the xbox. Single-player is full of over-the-top lulz, except for the scene that Kleves alludes to in his post, which was insane. Game is also quite short: I finished it in six hours.

Multiplayer is fun and slightly addictive. It's based on you constantly unlocking weapons, attachments, challenges, tags, killstreaks, and even game-modes like Capture-the-Flag. And of course you can customize your class loadouts however you please.

So far I've launched several Predator drone missles on unsuspecting opponents, which is too fun. Also, one of the early killstreak rewards allows you to call in a random supply drop, which contains either ammo or another killstreak reward. This is how I called in a Pave Low helicopter which proceeded to wipe out the entire opposing team, and a B2 Stealth Bomber which dropped about a ton of explosives on four dudes.

It's sad that single play games are so short these days.  That's mostly why I get a game.  I don't know why Steam's version only unlocks at 11:00 tonight.

I was kind of disappointed with the plot of the first one though.  You play an American and a British guy and the American guy dies half way through.  Why can't the limey die?  :mad: Still it was fun shooting up Russians and Arabs.

Finally got it going.  Not as good as World at War even from a technical standpoint.  Game is kinda confusing to play.  Also playing as the American you die pretty damn quick.  I would have thought the makers would be Brits considering how much SAS cock is sucked so far.

Half-life was more plausible.  I'm waiting for Cobra Commander or the Brotherhood of NOD to come and tie things up.  Also you'd think that the Russian army would sorta standardize their weaponry.  They carry MP5s and FAMAS carbines and those weird looking Austrian rifles.

COD Modern Warfare 2, no battlefield. Have it on PS3, a well done game, campaign bit short but well done. The multiplayer is where it shines for me, we had a full room playing together yesterday and it was great fun, some of the maps are pretty damn big, and in some it is easy to get lost. Give it a few more days for the glitches and hacks to start.

That's part of it, yeah.  But putting all that aside, the work he was expected to do seemed way over the top.  The CIA does enter some moral gray areas sometimes (and God love them for it) but that was ridiculous.  And the payoff for the risk in getting him involved with something like that was: ???

Okay I beat the single player.  C'mon now.  There's suspension of disbelief and there's this.  None of the plot actually makes any sense.  People do things but don't have any possible motive for them.  It's just like random sociopathy.  Made they cut alot out of the finial product (possibly the ending), but as it stands I'm totally confused.

It doesn't seem to fit in anywhere to be honest.  It's suppose to be the Causus belli for a Russian invasion of Virginia.  But the guy who perpetrates it seems to also be running the country so I'm not sure what the point is.  You are suppose to be a CIA agent (who earlier that day was an army Ranger), who is deep undercover as a henchmen to the big bad.  To win his trust you are suppose to mow down a thousand Russian civilians.  At the end he shoots you in the face and says "ha, now the US will be blamed for this".  The plot makes less and less sense after that.

I honestly don't understand the motives for most of the actions of the game.  I have no idea why the Big Bad was doing what he was doing (or actually what he was doing really).  He mentioned something about getting recruitment up.  Was that the point?  That seems incredibly stupid.  I don't really get the logic in the game either.  We have a mission where we murder hundreds of innocent Russians and that's okay, but in another mission we have to do this complex special ops to save 7 Russians on an oil rig the bad guys (who I'm not clear on who they are, are they the Russian government or not?) are using as human shield.  Then we rescue the guy Makarov hates (who apparently has had him under lock and key for 5 years), and then immediately steal of a Russian Boomer to launch a nuke at Washington.  Gee thanks.

Pay no attention to the plot. It's simply an excuse for the devs to have the player run parkour on the roof-tops of Rio and flee on a snowmobile Bond-style.

Also, shooting people in the face. Repeatedly.

Curiously the guy was also in Call of Duty 1.  During World War II.  Where he died. 

At first I thought it might be because you guys nuked Washington.  But no, everyone seems cool with that.  From the best I can tell it was to get recruiting up in the US.  Or something.

There are no servers, one player acts as a temporary host for everyone else.  And no, you can't play cross platform.  Other than Shadow Run which allowed 360-PC play I don't think any games allow crossplatform multi.  Gamepads just get raped too hard by mouse and keyboard to allow it.

The game is fun, but really stupid. 

Yep.  I finished the game but had to go to wikipedia to even figure out what the storyline was supposed to be.  Gen. Shepherd's character still confuses me a bit.

I liked most of the missions except for the first one in Rio.  A thousand soccer jersey-clad Brazilians popping out from every direction = annoying.

Played a couple Spec Ops missions-- the 2nd one with the waves of Russkies attacking was pretty cool.  UAV = good, clean fun (though the AC130 mission in COD4 was a bit better).

A Bazillion Brazilians.  But they pop out of the slums like monkeys in trees.  I kept wondering, why the fuck am I here?  Why are these people attacking me?  I thought similar things about the Oil rig mission (where you get swarmed by Russians in the smoke).  We can't blow up this Russian oil rig because the Russians have take the Russian workers hostage.  Oh, go ahead and kill everyone in the airport and Nuke the East Coast.  Just don't kill those 7 hostages.

I had to check the wikipedia entry on the plot as well.  The general turning on you seems entirely random ( I thought it might be because Price nuked Washington).  You don't even get to kill the Bad Russian guy!

The story is basically The Rock Redux, except more incoherent and ridiculous.

Anyway, I'm getting more proficient with this shitty gamepad. Popping people left and right with the SCAR w/ACOG sight is very pleasing. Also satisfying was sneaking behind a group of five enemies and knifing each one in succession. The last guy happened to get a few shots at me behind I plunged my knife into his chest. The Commando perk essentially teleports you fifteen feet. Too fucking bad, assholes.   :menace:

Modern Warfare 2 recalled and banned in Russia pending a new censored version

http://hellforge.gameriot.com/blogs/Hellforge/Console-Versions-of-Modern-Warfare-2-Banned-in-Russia

Quote
Every copy of the console version of Modern Warfare 2 has been recalled from stores in Russia due to the content of the "No Russian" mission, better known as the controversial airport massacre level. Likewise, Infinity Ward has released an official patch for the PC and Steam versions of Modern Warfare 2, entirely removing the mission from the game.

Pending validation from the Russian government, the censored console versions of the game are expected to be released within less than a month, with the mission removed.

The game's content has raised the ire of the Russian gaming public as well as a number of politicians who object to its portrayal of Russia's armed forces as terrorists who invade the United States and subsequently erect statues of dead terrorists in Washington D.C.

Russian gaming website GotPS3 voiced their anger over the game's storyline, which they criticized as catering to a primarily American audience with total disregard towards other cultures, especially the Russians, whom the game depicts as terrorists.

As it is, Russian gamers who wish to play the game will have to choose from purchasing the gutted Steam version, ordering the US/EU version of Modern Warfare 2 from eBay, or waiting for an indefinite period of time for the censored version to be released, pending validation. 

Thanks, Warrax, for providing a Russian source.

:lol: if they think Russian gamers are going to wait to use those methods of getting the game

That wasn't a real dedicated server despite the title of the video.  That was standard IWnet ranked matchmaking, with the host using the hacked developer's console.  Since clients host the games locally instead of a dedicated server like every other PC FPS,  the user can hack the settings to whatever they want once they become host.  What you saw in the video can happen anytime the host migrates to a person that has those hacks on their computer.  They still don't have real dedicated servers ready, but they can change any of the settings on IWnet.

They've also unlocked three hidden game modes.  Presumbly that IW was planning on charging for.

Toss every grenade you have as quickly as possible DG. Especially in games that give you a bunch.

Extra pro tip: Pop smoke on your own sniper positions.
I love grenades.  I once finished a deathmatch by perfectly timing a greande to explode just as it rolled to a stop between the crouching guy's legs.  That was one cool end of match video.  Unfortunately, at least at my level, I only get one frag.

Earn the Martyrdom deathstreak.  When it kicks in, you'll drop a grenade when you die.  Then watch the fun.

Remember, to the online game fags, grenades make you a n00b and have no place in warfare. So track the guy that complains down and kill him repeatedly.

Sniping is one thing that I just can't get a hang of at all.  Whenever I arm myself with a sniper rifle, it seems to function like a huge bulls-eye.  Most of the time I get picked off before I get anyone in sights.

I love the heartbeat detector.  It costs you a sight on your rifle, but that's no biggie, sight doesn't help you when you don't know where to look.  It's especially a monster in tight confines, where you can't be easily sniped from afar.

Damn, I was really on fire tonight.  I ran up a streak of 15 kills, and only died because I was out of ammo, and had to engage a guy with a riot shield in a melee fight.  I think I'm starting to get a hang of it.

I managed to pull off some pretty good runs as sniper in COD4. Coolest one had to be when I defended our base in sabotage by  killing 4 guys who assaulted it together, before they could plant the bomb. You just have to learn at which spots you are covered well.

Not even knowing that the civilians at the airport are russians can make me entirely comfortable with playing that scenario.

I mean, in this day and age of international travel it's very likely that at least some of them are whites.

Maybe if they situated it in Nairobi International Airport. Or perhaps Jerusalem.

Agreed, I also find the scrambler of dubious value.  It's like giving an advance warning to your enemies.  When I see my radar go bad without an explanation, I try to find a corner to put my back up against, and take out my shotgun.

Those things are insta-kill. Also insta-kill: MP5 with Rapid Fire attached and Steady Position.

However, neither beat watching people idiotically mill about while you smack them with your riot shield. Also, the magnum pistol is awesome.

I finally discovered how to be that guy who runs around knifing everyone, and I also discovered how powerful that tactic is if used with the right perks.  With marathon/lightweight/ninja pro perks and SMG, my knife is never dry, and I consistently get top scores in the free-for-all matches.  Running after some guy who isn't even aware of you and knifing him in the back is a satisfying experience.

I do wonder now whether the key is the knifing, or the marathon/lightweight letting you get a position on most of your enemies.  I wonder if gunning people down with a silenced P90 would work as well as knifing them.

True point;  every now and then, a game will dump because IWnet decides that a Romanian with 56k dialup should be the host.

it appears that my favourite COD4 server still has good population, so this game can kiss my non-dedicated ass for now.

The only thing more fun than getting LULZ HEDSHOTZ as a sniper is laying down next to them, and knifing them like a whore that owes me money.

Or teamkilling them with a pistol shot to the head while they are in their own little world.

original CoD was a blast. Too many snipers on the team= big fun.

Finally got my buddy online & we played through some of the co op missions via 360.  Kinda nice having someone you can actually communicate with.

We kept failing on the bridge mission on Veteran until we realized there were about 4 RPGs lying on a blanket on the upper part of the bridge, to shoot down the helicopter.

On my first playthrough on Recruit (or whatever the lowest of the 3 co-op difficulties is called), I assumed part of the challenge was that you didn't have any heavy weapons to take down the gunship, and had to make do just  hiding from it, while shooting the oncoming enemy troops & pushing forward.

But yeah, it pays to look down to the ground occasionally :D

If it's any consolation I think I sat under the overhang of the bridge saying " What the fuck am I supposed to do?" for a good 3 minutes or so.   :P

OK, best hack yet.

I load the game, and wind up going into the "Rust" map...I figure, hey, they're adding new maps...so as soon as it launches, somebody's using a grenade launcher as automatic fire, and winds up getting the AC-130, which starts killing everything automatically...I'm talking automatic kills immediately, they're just rolling off the screen...people are talking about hacks in the chat, and then it boots me...it gives me "CHEAT DETECTED", and I wind up at the menu screen...but apparently, since I was on the same time as the hacker, I go from LVL 57 straight to LVL 70, unlocking all the remaining weapons.

Weird.

So, I've got all the weapons now, sitting at 70.  Funky.

If that's the rewards you get for being killed by the hacker, imagine the riches you'd get if you managed to get him.

Odd.  I can't seem to like the ak that much.  Still prefer the ACR.   RPG is fun as balls, use it with the perk that amplifies explosions and you're golden.  Be that griefer you always wanna be seedy.  :P

I have bought it. I am appaled that I need to advance a shitload of levels before I can choose hardcore gamemodes. Please tell me there is no killcam in those.

Otherwise good arcadish fun with great graphics, but since I dont know the maps yet, I seriously suck at it.

No killcams.  No radar without UAVs, either. Hardcore Team Deathmatch is where it's at, baby.

What sucks about it is that some sniper douchebags keep sniping without you ever knowing from where your brains are getting splattered.

We played the other bridge mission a couple nights ago where you just have to blow up all the vehicles.  They need more missions like that.

We got stuck on "Snatch & Grab" on Hardened difficulty (not even Veteran) last night for who knows how long & kept spinning our wheels.  Every time we were making progress, one of those annoying Juggernauts appeared up close out of nowhere & tore us to shreds. 

And I *still* can't get 3 stars on the damned Pit.

I've decided not to progress another Prestige level;  learning everything over again is no fun.  I'd rather drop my Lvl 70 leetness on newbs.

Personally, I recommend the FAL or M16 with ACOG sight + Silencer to reach out and touch someone silently on most big maps, like Quarry, Invasion, or that other big village map I can't think of at the moment.

Played through the single-player campaign on Veteran-- after playing some of the Veteran Spec Ops missions, it didn't end up feeling too difficult, except for a couple of missions.

Having gotten a lot of Spec Ops missions knocked out (and mostly having the nearly-impossible ones left) I may try: online multiplayer again.

I will.  But I think I'm having more fun doing the co op Spec Op missions than I will with multiplayer.

I think I like the Battlefield online multiplayer model better than CoD's.  And speaking of which, Battlefield Bad Company 2 comes out in a month :punk:

I was tossing a flashbang into a room from across the street, and one of my moron teammates ran underneath it, getting him in the back of the head even before it popped.
Yeah, I TKed someone with an aluminum can.  Imagine the ingame chat.
