I guess it comes down to how well the game has been received and reviewed that dictates the price. Take StarCraft 2 on the PC. That's still £34.99 to buy in a lot of places - almost unprecedented in the PC market for that price.

D.

 

[BRUN]

im really worried its not gonna be much cheaper on the day, i think it might be a similar thing to Fifa 11, with most places expecting you to buy shopping to get it cheaper, or trade a particular game in

i think ill be ordering from Very.co.uk

 

[Malachi]

I'll definitely be getting this as pretty much all COD campaigns have been great imo.

Just looked at pre ordering it. Feck paying £35 for it on the PC. Get stuffed. And the retail price on the consoles - £54.99?!?!?! Fecking ROFLCOPTER. I know people will end up getting it for much less, but come on guys - get realistic.

I'll wait until its been out for a few weeks and no doubt find loads of places flogging it for £24.99.

D.

Steam will discount it before release, and will probably discount it again for Christmas (remember last year's week of discounts?). Otherwise I don't see the price dropping tbh, not for a long while.

Shocking player but ignore that



Be quick

 

[Geddes]

looks good imo, the map looks sweet too. i'll have another look at the vid in abit

 

[Mr Pants]

Cool video. Can't wait for the game!

 

[172boost]

Yeah this looks awesome, it will be awesome.

 

[kev182cup]

just pre ordered this with amazon : ). says delivery estimated 9th so hope its early or on time. paid 44 with postage. the amount ill play it im not fussed about price.

 

[Mr Pants]

I even like the tweaks with the graphics showing the scores and flashing up with the killstreaks etc. Just looks a bit tidier and I'm a sucker for something nicely designed lol.

Exactly. What's a tenner when it comes to a game you're gonna play for ages. Might go with Amazon too.

 

[Christopher]

Looking forward to this now. Not as much as Fallout, but still...

That diving could get annoying lol..

 

[Ben]

I actually cannot wait to play this game.

 

[treemanx]

Shocking player is correct! Seems ok navigating the map thats about it.

 

[FiXX]

looks great, but the lag/bad hit detection looks just as bad as mw2.

 

[BRUN]

well i cant cope anymore, ive pre ordered from Very.co.uk using the discount code

£34 will do me

 

[FiXX]

no more quickscoping in this one as slight of hand does not work on sniper rifles!

What's the discount code mate?

 

[BRUN]

ZZ551 £15 off your first order over £40

 

[DrR]

Code didn't work

 

[CCrispUK]

Tempted to do very.co.uk deal, but don't really wanna sign up to their credit aggrement. Also iirc they will charge you the full £45 then refund you a week or so later.

 

[treemanx]

I noticed this, was hoping it was down to no stopping power and a weak gun... But I think your right.

 

[BRUN]

Code didn't work

what did it say, do you already have an account with them ?

If you look when he pops the kill smand death board up you'll see everyone has a bad connection. Due to host, nothing else I'd say just like MW2 and it'll happen in every game unless it has dedicated servers.

 

[kev182cup]

So pc is alright then the smallest of all the markets. Well done game makers. f***s me right off knowing how much money they make off this and still make the same mistakes.

 

[Munson]

Sorry for not wanting to read a million pages, but what's up with the PC version?

 

[172boost]

Think the PC version is fine mate, they are using dedicated servers. Console will still use the old host method, which by the way is perfect if you have a decent internet connection.

 

[172boost]

Just been announced that you get 4x extra zombie levels with the collectors edition copy of Black Ops.

 

[J0sh]

Ive been told you have to buy the collectors just to get zombies.

 

[AK]

Ive been told you have to buy the collectors just to get zombies.

f**k this pish if that's true...!

 

[C.J]

Ive been told you have to buy the collectors just to get zombies.

Well, iirc, zombies were only available on WAW after you completed the single campaign (they later unlocked this for everyone)

Maybe the same again, but collectors get it unlocked straight away?

Good to see someone else who hasn't got their head up their arse! Simple fact is if hosts connection isn't great then chances are there will be lag etc but usually it'll find another host. Also can be cause by your connection as above though.

The 4 maps with other editions is the 4 from waw, zombies is included in all version and it looks like zombies is open straight away on main menu from the videos I've seen. Not greyed out like it was on waw until completed.

This. Zombies is included in all editions of the game. Fact.

Nice! Although it did encourage me to complete SP on WaW.

 

[JJ!]

Zombies is in all versions. Hardened and Prestige versions come with 4 nazi zombie maps from WAW.
