I don't like playing zombies anyway so not bothered.
Cartoony? Arcadey? MW2, WAW, MW.... Infact the whole bloody franchise is cartoony, who gives a toss it's brilliant!

 

[CCrispUK]

Will the supermarket prices be that low on the day? or jsut at midnight release?

 

[mr.valver]

I work at Grainger Games, 150,000 copies @ £41 (trade price) = 6.15m order

Still selling @ £45 = £600,000 profit. Easy Money!!

 

[Waitey]

Did you play MW2?

Think i'm gonna go HMV trade in MoH and get this for £7.99

Yus. Its more arcadey than MW2.

 

[Nigel]

I've just ordered a copy for me and my Brother from best buy.

 

[DrR]

I pre ordred for £25 anyway, FTW.

 

[Craigus]

You mean graphics or gameplay?

 

[Waitey]

You mean graphics or gameplay?

Both to an extent.

The story campaign isn't too bad.

Multiplayer feels like its geared more to kids (which i guess it is). Graphics have took a side step more than anything and the whole points system is a joke.

 

[kev182cup]

a new first person shooter always seems wrong at first like i started online with cod4 mw and mw2 felt wrong at first (better graffics though) and then from mw2 to bc2 felt even worse but after a while you get into the game and see the benefits.

 

[nobblebonce]

bestbuy is showing 44.99 for me.

 

[nobblebonce]

shopto showing in stock, will they deliver today buts its £42

 

[Damo_Sport]

gonna stick to MW2 imo

 

[RoryW]

bestbuy is showing 44.99 for me.

It was only cheap for the 1st 500 orders

 

[Setone]

Anyone know if Tesco / Asda will be stocking this for the PC?

 

[kev182cup]

gonna stick to MW2 imo

Just you and all the hackers. Lol that should be fun.

 

[Damo_Sport]

Just you and all the hackers. Lol that should be fun.

Yep lol.. Seems alot of money for a game that is exactly the same as MW2 from the looks of it

give it a few weeks and blackops will be full of hackers too

 

[kev182cup]

You'll be surprised. How many hacked lobbies ya ever seen on WAW? The answer ya looking for is none.

 

[Brand86]

Played MW2 last night...rage quit as so many t**** with rocket launchers in the game, so annoying what's the point of playing with those weapons. Rubbish.

 

[Geddes]

wonder what the spawn system will be like on the game, same as this? if so ill have a better understanding of MW2

 

[young_lew]

Is it Tuesday yet?

 

[VeinAST]

Only thing I'm not looking forward to is purchasing new weapons/upgrades.

 

[kev182cup]

It will be just like getting xp now after a few hours I bet ya don't even realise any points have been spent on weapons. I'm going straight for famas as it's clearly a beast. Lol

 

[Geddes]

what im going to do is build up loads of cash and be carefull on what i spend it on. buying un nessery stuff like attachments for the gun and camo. think silencer will be just fine for me. cant remeber what guns you start of with and what perks. Even i will be carefull on the perks too and not buy the first perk that gets unlocked

 

[Ben]

You'll be surprised. How many hacked lobbies ya ever seen on WAW? The answer ya looking for is none.

Theres quite a few on WaW actually as you don't need a KV to run a hacked lobby as it's booted from a disc. It takes one kill on a hacked nazi zombies to get to tenth prestige 65.

 

[Geddes]

Aye kev on that video the famas will be a beast as they said. good accuracy, good mag and good power i think he said it goes through abit of ammo like

Think all of the perks get unlocked together and you can choose which ones to buy.

Getting the PRO version of the perks seems harder, read that to get marathon pro you have to play CTF and get the flag 3 times.

I've only seen them on zombies though never on the multiplayer online.

 

[Geddes]

aye, so all the attachments and perks all unlocked just that you need the money to go and buy it?

 

[Geddes]

how long does the TDM game last for/kill win number?

 

[H.Maxim]

aye, so all the attachments and perks all unlocked just that you need the money to go and buy it?

Think so, when you get to a certain rank they all unlock and you just choose which ones to buy.

 

[Nigel]

shopto showing in stock, will they deliver today buts its £42

It's showing that for me now too, but my order acknowledgement shows £29.99 and the status is awaiting picking.

 

[treemanx]

Wonder if gold camo is bought or unlocked?

 

[Geddes]

Wonder if gold camo is bought or unlocked?

i guess when you get all the guns on say assult, SMG eg then you can buy it

 

[kev182cup]

It's bought treemanx I saw a level 19 with gold or looked to be gold. Lol

 

[treemanx]

That's well gay! Gold has to be earnt like COD4! You'll have the wide bois kids blinging it about.

It doesn't necessarily mean it's left the building, but you never know.

 

[richy22]

They did the same last year for MW2...process all the payments on a Friday then post out on Monday. I had the exact same thing last year.

Plus I'm pretty sure that if u have a look on the forum there they say that even though u may get a dispatch email today it's still not being sent out till Monday. ShopTo are good at abiding by Activisions request to hold it till release day.
