[Josh]

taunts me all week.

First impressions of the game?

[matt$]

Dont come out till tommorow so no idea, unless its here today and my mums hiding it tryin to be cool.

[Josh]

Been following the Order Status thread; people have it and I want to hear about it! :)

[j0rd]

Haven't received yet :(
Guess I will have to judge by justin.tv

[Robbie]

Well, I have played the campaign on my banned flashed Xbox and I enjoyed it, although I did think it was a bit too short for me. I can't comment on the online play, because obviously my console in banned from Xbox Live so I have purchased the game to play on my non-flashed Xbox online.

I like how reznov was introduced, not much further then that. Cutscenes are annoying but skipable so all good. Treyarch destroyed what IW always done well and that's have a game flowing very well in first person only.

OMG I JUST GOT TO THIS BIT THAT WAS REALLY DIRT LOL
ULL KNOW WHAT I MEAN WHEN YOU PLAY IT

[Ardemax]

not privilleged enough to have it today x[

[Fez]

Hate the player character voice. Eugh, Sam Worthington.

[dbgtz]

I HATE IT
you can't knife the melons :(

[dbgtz]

[dbgtz]

hmm
i didnt expect to be killing british people

[Moh]

They still aint fixed the host migration :l

[dbgtz]

Just finished the campaign, was around the same length as MW2, but only from the boring ass cutscene things, ones you cant skip. A big twist which probably opened alot of plot hole but a decent game in the end :)

Watched a fair bit of gameplay and it looks good. Things I've seen:

1 - some hacked lobbies (probably be patched soon)
2 - unlimited carepackage glitch (same as mw2) should get patched soon
3 - dogs slightly overpowered?
4 - shotguns basically useless - think trenchgun from WaW
5 - chopper gunner vastly powerful (but it is a 11 streak reward)
6 - knifers still seem to be obnoxious - probably just leftover commandos from mw2
7 - m16 very powerful
8 - mp5 very powerful
9 - ninja (dead silence/silent footsteps) doesn't seem as useful. There's a lot of background noise on all maps and you can't really hear anyone coming, ninja or not.
10 - last *f'ing* stand (second chance). pretty much every loser is going to use it now since you can be revived by a team mate.

Last one, you have to get it pro and it has 3 challenges which need completing.

[tm]

Ah.. well I saw a few people on videos with 'pro' today so it can't be that hard unfortunately.

If you use last stand/final chance/second chance you are a loser for using a loser perk that only works if you should be dead. Learn to play :D

Haha well you won't see me using it.
MP5K
Ghost
Steady aim
Ninja

ftw :P

first match i only used pistols and i done amazing. I used my m16 for like 2 kills, but pistols are just so freaking easy to use.

and i hate sticks and stones, was top through a whole match and i got bankrupted in the last 30 seconds :( good thing i only bet 10cp :P
in order of wager match preferences, its:
gun game
one in the chamber
sticks and stones (its fun still)
sharpshooter (i think its called that, it sucks ass imo)

[ben]

its fun and i win every wager match wcyd

[Accipiter]

noob tubers are here already, nooooooo

[AgnesIO]

I sadly will not be getting this game until after work commitments. Come now please december!!!

[Callum.]

Played it after school til completion. Not exactly the most impressive thing I've played, infact, far from it. Got one kill on zombies and then turned it off, gave it too my brother and that's it. I'll only go back to it to get a few easy achievements I couldn't be asked to do today but I'd rather get good grades personally.

[samsaBEAR]

Yeah I'm not a huge fan. Online seems really random, like I could put tonnes of bullets into a guy and he literally just turns around and shoots a burst and I'm dead. The host picking is the worst since Gears 2, I just came off, and I was getting american hosts all morning, Treyarch are saying that there's no english people playing?
I also hate how you unlock the guns, and then you have to buy them, stupid idea, makes me want to just stick with the same guns rather then just pay for new ones. Snipers are just so poor it's terrible, and I really don't like how everyone with Ghost gets a ghilli suit. I also don't like the main menu.
Wager Matches are fun though.

[.Shaun,,]

Don't like the new online, prefer mwf2 already noob tubers, no commando so its all boring, campaign is good though have to say. Online could of been a lot better.

[Oleh]

I don't see why everybody's complaining.

The buying of whatever you want is good, there shouldn't be any need for me to have to get what they give me.

[Robbie]

no commando so its all boring

are you for real?

[dbgtz]

Has anyone got the controllable helicopter yet?
I just got it but with like 20 seconds left, still got 6 kills :P

[.Shaun,,]

are you for real?

you go to knife someone who is 2 meter's away and it does not work, then you get owned. -.- Bye bye killstreak.

[Middlesbrough]

thats what you get for trying to knife like a little girl, who on earth lunges 2 metres and manages to stab someone in real life?

[Misawa]

I have to agree with the above. You can't knife someone who's six feet away...

Multiplayer is a lot of fun but sometimes frustrating. I'm enjoying single-player, but it really is just about as far removed from reality as you could possibly get, even with its alternate history. They also totally ripped off the final level of Vietcong, one of the greatest FPS' I have ever played way back when in like '03 or something, on the Vietnam mission. The game is still nonsensical, needlessly cinematic and pretentious garbage, but it's fun. Oh, and why are the graphics worse than Modern Warfare 2? Now I know they aren't everything, but when you're the biggest game in the world, you can't put out a title with extremely dated graphics.

@Graphics, different developers, can't think of anything else

But anyway I noticed that the game is much less frustrating if you can get a team in, that is all

[Misawa]

It shouldn't matter about it being the other developer. It's not like they can't afford to make the graphics quite literally the best the consoles can handle.

[dbgtz]

I have a feeling they havnt used the texture streamer well, alot of the shadows are poor and I dont see the same effect on BO stuff with MW2 stuff. Thats the only graphical fault I see.

That's a huge if though, me and a couple of friends had to restart matchmaking like ten times last night before it put us into the lobby.

I like to annoy people tbh it's funny.

[Oleh]

Well go play some MW2....

The M16 is very strange, it can take from 1 to around 4 burst to kill somebody, i tested this in a private match, all bursts in the same spot

[.Shaun,,]

Nah i'm fine on black ops. :)

[cocaine]

played it online multiplayer w/ friends during lunchtime. not impressed at all.

Totally agree.

[crazed]

Online is random, can take any range of bullets to kill people, you'll have two running at you.. One shot one of them and the other takes a full mag to kill.. It's silly.

[Misawa]

I just finished campaign. Was good, but incredibly far fetched. You can never once believe that it's set in the '60s. Oh, and they ripped off The Deer Hunter, too.
