No quickscoping? Maybe, its been replaced by skillscoping

+ Treyarch needs to fire whoever is incharge of the sound effects in this game its ****ing dire. Listen to the sound of explosions in the Nuketown video below. Its the same bleedin sound effect played everytime and loudness depending on how close you are to said explosion. Plus it sounds like someboy hitting an empty steel drum with a stick, same goes for the sniper rifle in the "skillscoping" video below

Is it just me or do the textures on Nuketown look absolutely awful? it doesnt look finished in some parts, it looks like a pc game running on low texture mode or something, barely any detail on some of the houses and rooms, but yet some of the other maps look great

dur.. thats the whole idea

Nuketown.. as in a town in the middle of the desert where they test out nukes !!!


I like the look of nuketown tbh, reminds me of some custom maps from cs.

I get what it is, but it still seems like the graphics are fairly shabby in places on that map,Rust was a tiny map with barely anything in it and theres some great details on the pipes and buildings. I dunno maybe it'll look better in the game itself but its the least impressive map I've seen so far.

yeah, im sure it'll look much nicer ingame. Im pretty sure they went for the "FAKE" look on purpose tho.

Also, was so glad about what he said with second chance, being that the animation is smooth and you can actually shoot them while they're falling. Hopefully i'll not fall for the ole last stand bs in mw2 where i'd shoot someone, think hes dead and turn only for him to be in last stand and having to turn back and shoot him again.

I like that too, being able to judge when someone is in it rather than thinking they're dead until they pop up like a zombie and blow you away as you're running off, if you use Last Stand in MW2 you are a cnut, that is all :pac:

2 questions for those that have played it. Are spawns as fragile as they are in MW2, or do they take a while to flip? And I hear the sound is ****, but what about being able to hear bombs being planted/defused?

I haven't played it, but from what I've heard from someone who has, the spawns can change very easily, do change quite a lot.
No idea about the sound. But I doubt you'll be heard unless someone has a headset, and even at that, the sounds are meant to be rubbish, and we see, or hear even, so I wouldn't worry about it tbh.


I'm really happy that I've only started getting excited for this in the last 2/3 days. For MW2 I was excited for months, and it was horrible waiting. Now, its out tomorrow, so into the city Tuesday I go when I wake up and play till its time to go home, then play at home, and continue this till I get bored:p

Definitely, gives people who shouldnt have the game an advantage over people who are getting it tonight or tomorrow, you'll go online tonight and probably be playing against guys who are in the 30s and 40s rank wise and already know the maps.

Well the ranks and stuff are *meant* to be reset. But thats said every year. To be honest, I don't really care about that kinda stuff, the game is still gonna be fun. The guys over in Australia are getting their games about now aren't they?

Isn't there like a mode where you can go play the multiplayer maps and stuff against bots? Did I hear that, or is that just rubbish? Maybe mess about there for a while?
