    Is there lag being experienced by anyone as according to this?

    Be brutal to have my one night of tearing the missus away from the main box for Desperate Housewives to be curtailed by the old "27 clips and 1 hit register" scenario

    Been ok for me for the time I have been playing sometimes comes up connection error but does not last long.

    I got the game winning kill with an attack dog earlier. I suggest everyone tries to do this, it's ****ing hilarious. JUMP LASSIE JUMP!

    I've had 7 people join me in combat training within my first 3 game despite even put myself on not available *hint* lads.

    The first game I and the CPU were against 5 of them! Damn join feature :(

    Headshot at least talked about joining me beforehand... anyway.

    First game went with MP5k (I can safely say I despise it already) on Array.

    2nd and 3rd game. Much more like it with the M16. Still very much raw to this though and as said previously. It'll take me a while to really get in the swing of things.

    My bad man, saw combat training and had no idea what it was so i was curious.

    God help eircom if their broadband is shít tonight...I'll bloody well kill someone.:mad:

    Wager matches are excellent, Love sticks and stones as well as gun game. Could see myself getting addicted to them and this is coming from someone who never played anything except M/TDM and the very odd game of FFA.

    Great to see it is as good as it was hyped up to be.

    I was a MW2 nut but sadly I wont be playing this until January (Im abroad), so how do you people who cant wait for tonight to play it feel...huh...@ssholes.

    Seems pretty underwhelming to me so far. I've on played the multi-player but really it just seems to be more of the same, hoping the subtle changes will make themselves known overtime, but they really are very subtle.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,146 ✭✭✭TheMilkyPirate


    Attack helicopter is the WORST killstreak ever.

    In fact most of the kill streaks are sh!te.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,565 ✭✭✭✭Tallon


    Thats the point, the game is supposed to be about FPS.... we've gotten too used to overpowered Killstreaks

    I agree but if there gonna be this useless why bother having them at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,378 ✭✭✭Nodferatu


    i know your all playing MP non stop, im on campaign now myself just wondered anyone else completed it? i thought first few missions were dull, but then it really gets going, im about 7 missions into it and some good surprises are in it as regards levels that treyarch never mentioned, its brilliant, i think better than mw2 ((IMO)). i keep playing the next level to see what happens, also, has anyone else had problems with eircom broadband disconnecting!!

    Play the Single Player - it will surprise you.

    Not finished it yet but having a blast playing through it, defo one of my games of the year. Much better paced than MW2 and great set pieces as well. Story is quite good with the focus staying mainly on Mason and slowly uncovering why exactly he's strapped into a chair :D Think I'm around the same level as you now
    Dr Clarke in Hong Kong?
    and playing it on Hardened so there's a good challenge out of it. It really does put MOH to shame in every single way and its definitely Treyarch' best COD yet.

    Have you used the attack helicopter in MW2?
    Its pathetic! Lucky if you get 1 kill while it flies around for aaages. Shot down easily too not that anyone need bother.

    And its the same killstreak level as harriers, which are faaaar better


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭zero19


    Yeah i've gotten a few attack choppers they kinda suck. Valkyrie rockets are fun, death machine well i died within 20 seconds upon getting that so no comment yet, and the gunship is freakin sweet!

    I find most new games are like that, especially big new releases like this one. Give it a month or two and it will settle down.

    I heard from Game in NorthSide SC that a lot of other titles where moved so they would not clash with the launch of BlackOps
