The third perk is based on the first and second right?

Hopefully treyarch learned not to allow Lightweight be selected along with Marathon. It'll be interesting though to see what combinations you can come up with

Will we see a beta?

Nothing was mentioned apperantly.

If there is going to be a beta, I reckon it will be a 360 exclusive :rolleyes:

Have to say I'm looking forward to this multiplayer as I felt Treyarch did a better job in creating a better multiplayer experience in COD3 (various complementary classes, medic, sniper, vehicles, etc) than the more "individual biased" multiplayer in COD4 where it was you and some guys against the enemy team.

I didn't get WaW because I've played WW2 games (most of the COD series) and have a good knowledge in the history of the battles that took place and had no interest in travelling down that familiar path. Though the multiplayer did appeal to me, I stayed away.

Hope to see Treyarch push the boundaries by building on what other game makers have done and adding their own twist on procedings. I'm liking the novel game types introduced and gun game looks like a blast if it's all mates in a private party/lobby.

Even still I'll probably get Halo Reach before this!

Looks good so far, the maps have more of a COD4 feel to them, very uneven landscape, lots of blown apart buildings etc, a lot of the maps in MW2 are very flat in comparison. Love the RC car looks like a laugh. Like the idea of buying weapons as opposed to having to level up for them.

NO Tac Insertion /:(\ (there is)
NO Commando \:D/

SOH and Stead Aimy/Longer Breath on the same tier bad for snipers

Be interesting to see how the killstreaks work out, love the announced game modes, hope they keep stuff like Sabotage and S&D though, that Wager match sounds fantastic, and no TI means no (or at least less) boosting for mates who want to earn money.

Graphically, like was said not as nice as MW2 but still impressive in places, maps look a lot bigger than MW2 as well, Treyarch have obviously listened to the fans with this, pity Infinity Ward never did the same

There is a TI I'm nearly sure I read somewhere

Edit, yea there is , it's in Equipment slot, according to Egyptian's post on page22. It remains to be seen if it's uses are limited compared to Mw2 (Let's hope they are!)

krudler

Ah crap, I just skimmed over that part, whyyyyyyyy are they putting the most abused item in MW2 back in?! even it you can only use it a few times a round it wil get boosters a head start

Treyarch listened to the community about some points, but not one of, if not the most complained about part of Mw2. I r disappointed.

krudler

The most complained about stuff in MW2 is OMA, DC, Commando and TI's, with remove 3 and not TIs?

Unless its a 1 use per match thing, in which case it renders it totally useless for even the people who do use it legit, should have just removed it altogether.

I've been playing COD4 the past few nights and am loving it, very little noobtubing, you're right about martyrdom though ever other fcuker is using it, I get killed more by killing people myself than being shot!

lol , I know ya ........jumping around like a gob****e . Just have to remember not to run near the bodies when youve killed them

I really think its miles ahead of mw2 though

I found it hard to get used to the graphics for a while, sometimes its really hard to make out enemies asthe character models arent as good as in MW2, and you will get raped on every map when starting out, same as any game you're getting into late really, the only maps I do really well on are the ones I've already played on MW2 like Overgrown and Crash.

I might start giving MW2 a break as its starting to wither me again, every time I get a good game I wind up in a lobby full of noobs, might go back to multiplayer Uncharted 2 again which is great fun, way more balanced and a friendlier community atmosphere

Thank GOD there's no deathstreaks in BO, no more 3x bloody health with painkiller. Poxy grenades with martyrdom, and no more last fág stand.

Negative IMO. So long as it's not entirely open maps or has one focal point where everyone runs for I'll cope. Probably never noticed but if we are in a game together there are 4 maps which I skip without hesistation - Wasteland, Derail, Rundown and Estate. Can't stand them.

Haven't noticed you on it, but do hit us up with an invite to play. Myself and Headshot play it everynow and again over the last week or so.

I'm struggling with the pace of the game atm though and yeah I forgot how irratating martydom and juggernaut are in COD4. Nowhere as bad as the crap in MW2 mind you.

edit - lols about the graphics. I can't see anything inside of Vacant :pac: Thank god for nightvision googles

Is this game set in Vietnam?

Will do, beware though I'm only at lvl 17 so I wont be very good unless its a map I already know :pac:

As for skipping the big maps on MW2, Wasteland I dont mind, I quite like it actually, Derail I hate, Rundown is meh have had some great and lousy games on there (including my epic drunken 30-0 FFA game at 3am one night while scoffing down a kebab from Abra :pac:, Estate is alright I just stay out of the house, I prefer when the enemy team holes up in there as I just go over to the boathouse and snipe them, easy kills.

Sounds good from what ive read, they have listened alot to be fair to them, more than infinity ward will ever do. Will make the game alot more interesting that stopping power is gone, it shouldnt have been in MW2 without juggarnaut. Frees up the 2nd perk slot and makes the 1 v 1 fights fair all the time. The money system and wagers etc are gimmicky, will be prone to people boosting in someway and wont be the selling point for me. As for graphics, CODs since 4 have been locked at 60 fps which is far more important than the actual textures etc, id rather a smooth game any day. People may prestige more this time aswell considering you can buy any gun provided you have enough money so people will stick to what they like most. T.I's really need to go or be modified that you can only use them a set amount of times.

Parts of it, I think it goes from the 60s up until more modern times

Ha so its not just me then, thank fcuk yeah the graphics are very brown and dark in a lot of the maps, the guns look a bit puny at times too, especially the sniper rifles, but I still find it a more balanced game than MW2

the maps in MW2 are awful compared to MW1

when I see a MW1 map on MW2 my face lights up, just great maps imo

hopefully the maps on Black Ops are much better

Some of them are alrite tbh. Terminal is a good map imo, as is skidrow and sub base. But yeah, MW1 > MW2 maps by a long way.
