[PC/PS3/XB360] COD:MW2 Official thread - Contains spoilers

[H.Maxim]

Am i silly for not pre-ordering this?

i'm hoping to just walk into Tesco/Game/Asda and just pick up a copy, or is that naive?

I was thinking of doing the same but my local Asda and Tesco both sold out of Fifa 2010 in the first couple of days and i presume the demand for this will be much higher, so i'm thinking of a preorder.

 

[McBunny]

id imagine you would be fine

 

[C.J]

2 weeks today!

 

[m4rkie23]

early pre-order hopes FTW!!

 

[Seedy172]

need double check mine with game. can't wait.

 

[richo]

I've decided to go into tesco at midnight monday. My fifa 10 pre-order didnt come on day of release so didn't pre-order this time!

Indeed!

Hmmmmmm

 

[McBunny]

first time ive seen any footage from a ps3

 

[Gally]

Funny that he doesn't have any in game footage?

 

[m4rkie23]

im awesome. confirmed*


(it must be true if it says confirmed)

 

[lurchio]

Just a question people..
I've pre-ordered MW2 through tesco entertainment, now as we know... Postal Strikes.. This could have a knock on effect and thus mean getting the game late???

Do you recon i should pre-order at game and go pick it up at midnight???,

what ya recon

Cheers

 

[m4rkie23]

well you could do. then when the delivered one comes from tesco, take it back to game with the game receipt (unopened) and get a refund.

(as long as tesco dont but a sticker on it, cant see why they would)

 

[lurchio]

hhmm, not a bad idea that m8

 

[McBunny]

i have 2 preorderd so one should make it i hope

 

[sargey]

I don't think that Tesco will give a flying monkeys about getting you your game on release date.

As above, pre order 2 and get your money back on one of them.

 

[Adam]

Well I got my copy of Forza 3 2 days before release day from Tesco so I am pretty sure they will ship it in time but it will all come down to Royal Mail I suppose. I have my copy pre-ordered with them but I also have a copy reserved through ASDA (family member) which I think I will collect on midnight so I might as well cancel my Tesco order ....

 

[lurchio]

you cant normally reserve at ASDA can you?, thats where your family member thing comes in??,

 

[Adam]

you cant normally reserve at ASDA can you?, thats where your family member thing comes in??,

Indeed

 

[C.J]

you cant normally reserve at ASDA can you?, thats where your family member thing comes in??,

Where have you been? ASDA now do pre-orders on all games. You don't pay till you collect, they'll hold it for 3 days. No family member needed for this.

I've pre-ordered with GAME, and hoping it comes early.

Last year, I pre-ordered COD:WAW from GAME, and it came 2 days early.

Fingers crossed.

 

[C.J]

Just received my email from GAME.co.uk, pre-ordered yesterday.

Dear Customer,

Modern Warfare 2 is almost here and we know you can't wait to get hold of your copy.

We will be despatching your order to give plenty of time for your game to arrive for release
day despite any planned Royal Mail strike action.

To help us make sure that nothing affects your delivery, please can you check your card
details are up to date, and that you've got enough funds in your account for payment.

Now you can relax and practice your aim till your order arrives.

The GAME Customer Services Team
Game.co.uk

I hope I have a repeat of when I pre-ordered COD:WAW from GAME last year, received it 2 working days before release day.

 

[Scutch]

It seems this bugger is going to be more expensive than even the Forza LCE :

http://www.blockbuster.co.uk/produc...mes/call_of_duty__modern_warfare_2/218282.htm

 

[m4rkie23]

yeah i think £45 is pretty much the best your guna get. cant complain tho!

 

[Scutch]

Nope. Although, saying that, COD4 was much better than COD5, I thought. I'm confident this will wipe the floor with them both, but it would be a shame if a few months down the line people are still flocking around COD4 online like they do now due to COD5 not being as good.

 

[McBunny]

i find there are more users on 5 than 4 but maybe its just the times im using it

there was somewhere doing £37 preorders again today

 

[m4rkie23]

any more info?

these have it,

http://www.coolshop.co.uk/catalog/product/58723-modern-warfare-2-(call-of-duty)--for-ps3

so do

pure-games
spidertronics
iaural
geckogame
the irons den
everythingsplay

but who are these companies? what is their pre-order policy like?

who knows?

 

[Scutch]

Well this is definitely using up my Store Card credit at Game on release. I've £75 which I could have used on either Forza 3 or Fifa 2010. Bout time it was used.

 

[C.J]

Looking at my COD:WAW order last year, I paid £39.99, and this year for MW2 I've paid £44.99, so it's only a fiver more, worth it imo.

 

[m4rkie23]

couldnt agree more. (altho i paid £27 for cod5 on release day from asda. midnight queueing win)

 

[Scutch]

Isn't there a mission where you actually play a terrorist and have to shoot civilians? Causing a bit of controversy, apparently.*

* 'a bit' being 'a hell of a lot'.

http://360.kombo.com/article.php?artid=17573

 

[McBunny]

boo cant even watch teh video

 

[C.J]

couldnt agree more. (altho i paid £27 for cod5 on release day from asda. midnight queueing win)

I got mine 2 days early for £39.99 from GAME, then queued with a mate at 11pm at ASDA to get him one for £27 too.

Was a laugh, but don't intend on doing it again.

Try this Mike:

http://www.viddler.com/explore/Destructoid/videos/1102/

I can understand it being in the game as an 'Optional' mission, a bit like the Zombie levels in WAW.
Although, I'm expecting it to be an undercover mission, and you are supposed to kill these terrorists, yet this player is playing it differently?!

 

[McBunny]

quite possibly from what i have read your undercover cia and yes i think supposed to kill the terrorists but killing innocents does seem like fun

 

[richy22]

Everyone's bitching about it???

It "only a game" FFS

 

[m4rkie23]

flol

 

[Gally]

Everyone's b**ching about it???

It "only a game" FFS

Richy is getting freaking owned at it!

 

[richy22]

How do you order a game on ASDA entertainment and collect it instore?? Just tried it now and it asks for card details and also a delivery address with no option to hit "collect in-store"
