    Only got playing a few hours but loving it so far. Only gripe I have is the lack of time I have played it :pac:

    Was anyone else missing sound from the cut-scene after the credits? I also didn't have any sound in the dossier cut-scenes between every mission. Is that normal or did I get a dodgy game?

    can you play this game with just you and no help from the computer??i love games where its just you playing so i wanna know before i part with my cash!?


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

    There is a single player mode if thats what your asking.

    There is also a zombie mode where you play against the computer

    I thought he meant was it all you in SP mode, or was it like Halo, where you have a squadron helping you out.

    I Havent touched SP yet, so I don't know :o

    ye i mean like its just you fighting on your own without any soldiers helping you controlled by the computer??

    i love just 1 player games with only you doing the missions with no hepl.


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


    For the most part, it's team based. As in your with a team and you have to breach places, or follow them etc

    The computer helps you most of the time, but you do most of the killing. The annoying thing is you have to wait on them or follow them most of the time. I'm only about half way through. Not as good as MW2 though there was a lot of that there too. Love the wager matches though, you could never get bored of multiplayer, so many options.

    whati have a problem with this game and ive seen it alot in other call of dutys is the amount of times that you end up being knocked over and then you have to quickly get out of it by shooting the guys with pistols or haveing you team mate coming up and stabbing the bad guy. they had it in the end of MW 1 and 2 and at least twice in Black ops.

    I was thinking the exact same thing. It's getting a bit too familiar at this stage.

    ah i wont be getting it so,im not a fan of games where you have to wait for the computer etc.

    1 player games all the way!!


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


    ah yeah wager matches are good fun and have you on the edge of your seat, they are unpredictable, you can own everyone in one match but come last in the next, especially the one where the tomahawk kill wipes your score to zero, i think its the stick and stones mode? not sure

    They're just prescripted sequences, nearly all games have them now, god of war, killzone, uncharted, to name but a few,in Blops you're never really "waiting" for the npcs they're just there when the sequence calls for it, pretty silly reason not to play a game tbh, your loss though ;)

    yup, the wager matches are indeed great, gun game is my favourite, its just a pity the gun sequences dont change, its always the same weapons in the same sequence, I get going pistols to shotguns to assault rifles etc, but the same guns are used in every game, pity they didnt use all available weapons.

    yeah and the fact that in everygame you always save the world from certain annihilation, its getting old, have not finished it so i wont judge it right now

    Are people liking the FAL?

    I was a little annoyed to find it was semi-auto only, and was an L1A1 rather than a normal full auto capable FAL. By the same token there's no G3 in the game either.

    Love it. Think I'm alone in that though(or should I add a certain someone to that list? :D). Something different and takes a bit of skill to use unlike most non sniper guns.

    Likewise the G3 from COD4.

    have not used it, i like the semi auto, there tends to be a lot of full auto weopans which kinda sucks, pity theres no G3

    Love/Hate the FAL, second most used gun at the moment. Sometimes i do awesome with it and other times i cant hit ****, and when i can hit **** i get frustrated, and when i get frustrated i let my trigger finger go, and thats the last thing you wanna do with the FAL. There aint no middle ground with the FAL. Your either kicking ass and feeling really good about it cause your using a semi:rolleyes:, or your doing terrible and it becomes the most frustrating ****ing gun in the game.

    i just unlocked the commando, its pretty good all round gun but i still love the ak47 most, it doesn't recoil as much as in mw2 which is good


  • Site Banned Posts: 26,456 ✭✭✭✭Nuri Sahin


    Can someone just confirm for me that when I do prestige soon enough, I will not be able to buy more layers for my playercard pic.. correct?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,081 ✭✭✭ollie1


    Wtf I just saw a lad get 128 kills on Domination on Nuketown thats mental.
    Everything gets reset again when you prestige so you have to unlock them again.

    you can buy more layers alri your emblem stays it doesn't reset and your player card stays all cash,points,and guns go :( some challenges stay intact so you continue on from where you left off im nearly 2nd prestige already but have grown sick of it now iv played it so much

    Ok. Was a tad confused as some people were saying to stock up on emblems and layers before prestiging becaue you do prestige, you cannot buy anything else.

    Knew about the guns and money being reset. That's fair enough.

    I prestiged last night under peer pressure. I've got 15 levels to go till I get my wonderful Galil back :(.
