    Anyone any idea how the campaign story is shaping up?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,679 ✭✭✭hidinginthebush


    Also, can anyone tell me, is it likely to sell out on the first day (the 8th?), I was planning on picking it up that afternoon, but will go for the download if it looks doubtful (xbox360).

    I'll be strolling in first thing in the morning around 9.30am and picking up a copy with not a soul in sight as per every year instead of standing out in the cold with a load of knackers/kids :pac: HMV usually have a ton of copies for those who haven't prebooked, that'll be the case for every major store one would imagine so I wouldn't worry about it being sold out. Unless you live in the middle of nowhere and amount of copies might not be as big elsewhere. Fortunately I'm 10 mins from Smyths, HMV, Gamestop, Game and Xtra Vision, all of which are within 500 yards of each other so I'am sorted for any game release :p

    And what are the disadvantages of getting the regular edition, as opposed to pre ordering hardened or something.

    Thanks! Guess I'll be going in to work a bit late, pick it up on the way in, only to have it burn a hole in my bag all day, then finally cave and run home at lunch time ;)

    november 8th was free on our rota to take off, I had a holiday day to take, guess thats my night/all next day planned

    1.go to tesco 24hr, get pizza, and as much sugary snacks as possible
    2.get to gamestop for midnight launch, cradle Hardened edition like newborn baby on way out.
    3. get home, cook pizza, eat pizza.
    4. remove pants.
    5. play for entire night.
    6. watch the MW3 Megalove and Megabitch threads explode :pac:

    It'll be 6pm-11pm sleep on Monday, then head into town buy it (hopefully, seeing as I haven't preordered it, must do it today). Play all night Monday, up for college from 10-6, then wash rinse repeat washing optional :pac: for Tuesday seeing as I'm only in from 10-1.

    hardened has the years sub to COD ELite, an xbox avatar/ps3 theme whichever you get, "founder" status which means extra doohickeys relating to xp ingame and clans and all that jazz, and a nice box

    the regular one should be 45-50 quid in hmv and the years sub is 49.99 so theres not a huge saving buying the hardened one, but I'm a sucker for nice boxes :pac:

    I just wish they got rid of the knife or made it only as a tac knife.

    or make it two swipes a kill not one. 50cal round to the chest=hitmarker , swiped in the leg with a knife=instant death. shenanigans!

    Not trying to be a MW-BF a$$hole here as they are completely different kinda games but knifing should be the way it is in BF..


    If you gonna take a knife to somebody, you should make sure its a proper stab deep in the chest, throat... and slashing someone in the leg/arm does not constitute that!!

    There is alot of stupid unrealistic things in FPS type games but the knifing in COD is ridiculous.. thank god commando is gone!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 553 ✭✭✭redman85


    Really think that the pro version of the flat jacket perk (blast shield) should be a stab proof vest. But it takes two or three stabs instead of being totally immune to it.

    Dedicated Servers for console (not going to happen), Spawn System, Knifing, and more.

    First person shooters for a long time have had instant or near instant death kills by knives etc since they've been around. I remember reading an article either online or in a magazine ages ago about it's origins. The original reason I think was to make players deliberately avoid close quarters and to rely on guns as the penalties for bringing a knife to a gun fight were so severe. In games like Unreal and CS with limited spawns per round you would be mad to favour knives but once multiple spawns became prevalent, there has been a rise of instant kills from their usage.

    I've always wondered why they haven't tried using the button bash method that happens in single player in multiplayer where you're attacked by an enemy and you both struggle with each other, try make it a rock paper scissors mini game that can be interrupted by a team mate. Button bashing would probably be ruined by modded controllers or susceptible to favour the player with the better connection. So the mini game route would be fairer.

    Parry defeats knife thrust
    Knife Thrust defeats grab knife
    Grab knife defeats parry

    whats really ridiculous is the knifing animation with a tac knife, you run up and quickly tap someone, and thats mean to kill a guy wearing a full field kit and tac vest? it'd probably put a hole in his water canteen or leave him with a flesh would but kill him? piffle, the tac knife animation should be runnin up, grabbing the guy and knifing him with a 2-3 second animation cycle so you cant just run around shtabbing people all over the place.

    Very Nice, ACR Fall looks pretty darn sexy, gold camo doesn't seem so shiny and cheese like.

    The game needs more fun camos. Why not an actual cheese camo or a hello kitty skin. Chrome guns would look sexy
