    There is no doubt this will be the BIG game of the next 2 years, it's also gonna be the main FPS multiplayer.

    So who will be getting it for what ??..For me it'll definitely be a PC buy :cool:

    Also...anyone else getting it...do they play in clans ??...or just intend to go alone ??:rolleyes:

    PS3 FTW. And I'll be in my [ARU] clan.

    What's the big deal about COD on the PC? I found it no different from the console versions. People go on about the keyboard and mouse, but it just as easy to play with a controller.

    I'm getting it for both the PC and 360, PC so that I can play it on the go!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,912 ✭✭✭SeantheMan


    For me personally its to do with a mouse/keyboard for FPS.

    Also given that my clan have played COD2/4 etc on PC...we will all get it for that.

    Arrange friendly matches, connecting to the same server, playing in leagues, joining through xfire, use of custom maps / mods etc...make the PC the choice for me

    You forgot the "I'm not buying it" option. I like COD but Activision's attiitude of we're going to charge 10 quid more for this because we know you fools will pay has made me decide not to get it.

    Yeah, I'm gettin it somehow on pc, but I'm well pissed at them adding another tenner to the price. Greedy fcukers

    360 and PC for me probably, esp if that host dropout feature really does work


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten


    PC, no contest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,461 ✭✭✭Josey Wales


    I'm getting the PS3 version simply because that is the platform I own.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,392 ✭✭✭✭kaimera


    pc; prolly wont get into the MP until later as per usual.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,856 ✭✭✭Clover


    Picking up two copies for the PS3 , one for me and the other for my son.

    Ps3, I'll get the hardened edition methinks. Anyone who shells out for the Prestige edition is a bit bonkers. I considered it, and then realised that after I wear the goggles in the back garden and show it to a few friends, it's going to be a very questionable dust collector on my shelf.

    Cannot wait for the game though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,748 ✭✭✭Cunny-Funt


    COD = meh for me. I view it as a console shooter even if its on pcs, the same way I view halo. Overrated hype.

    Oh how I miss the bf1942 days (and its mods)

    So instead, you're making the smart choice and spending 70 - 80 on a steel box.

    I'd rather not have to pay for map downloads so if I get it, it'll be for the PC and probably via steam. Anyone who buys the prestige edition needs psychological help. I'll have a few PC servers going for it on launch as well.

    With the original Call Of Duty included. I'll only get it if it's less than 20 more than the regular edition seeing as I found out it was in HD and has full multiplayer support


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,416 ✭✭✭FreeOSCAR


    The 360 Version on Day One retail and Probably the PC Version by other means.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 37,416 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    360. I don't play PC games (only have a laptop and no desk so using a mouse is too difficult)

    I own a PS3 and had COD4 on it, but more of my friends own 360s and are getting the game on that, so that pretty much chooses it for me. Online seems to run better for me on the 360 too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,738 ✭✭✭djkeogh


    It'll be the 360 for me as it's the only medium I really play on. Looking forward to it and having some good online play again. The vids look amazing for this. Shame they're hiking up the price but it will still be the top seller.

    I'm surprised at myself for even considering getting this on 360, but in the end it'll be PC. I think I've just gotten lazy recently and prefer my couch to sitting upright at my PC desk.

    This.
    I'll be picking up L4D2 the week before/after (whenever it's out) and will hopefully play that until the price of MW2 drops to something more reasonable.
    I've never pirated a game before but the kind of sh!t activision are "testing" with MW2 makes me very tempted.

    ditto

    I'm surprised people would buy the game for both PC and xbox.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,378 ✭✭✭Krieg


    I will only play an FPS on the PC

    I rejoined the console market recently and got myself a PS3 , played a few FPS demo's. Yes, the PC is no contest as far as I care.

    I don't mind the extra tenner, since ill get more than my moneys worth for the game, but unfortunately it will send the wrong signal to other publishers/developers - "Oh look, they are raising the bar to €60, hey lets follow suit with our ****e games".

    €60 for 100/200 hours of gameplay? sounds like a deal to me.
