Modern Warfare 2 Teaser

Eh, a shield wouldn't be particularly overpowered in a CoD game anyway as it would be little more than a great big bullet proof sign saying "please pelt me with grenades"

Exactly my point - people pelt each other with grenades as it is. Get a close quaters map that's already bad for gameplay like Vacant, add shields... I don't even want to think about it.
 
Same here, hoping the story is more fleshed out than the previous MW game
 
Hope they sort out those weapon holding animations before release. Looks good otherwise though.
 
It says checkpoint reached in the left hand corner at one point, haha. Looks awesome, though.

I really hope there's going to be a MP beta at some point.
 
I'm liking the look of that full trailer there. Good to see that they are carrying on the story from the previous game.
 
"Revenge is like a ghost..."

Oh?

"...it takes over every man it touches."

Er, what? Is that really the key characteristic of ghosts?

"Its thirst cannot be quenched until the last man standing has fallen."

I think we're referring to different things here.

Haha, yeah, I was like - ...what? *rewinds to check if the word was indeed "revenge"*
 
revenge is like yoko ono

it takes over every man it touches

it's thirst cannot be quenched until every british pop sensation has fallen

Trailer was pretty silly, but I still can't wait for it.
 
When the hell did Call of Duty become a series with James Bond style super villains? I gotta say I lol'd

Woo, Call of Duty: Scripted Warfare 2

This would be a legitimate criticism if IW didn't do some of the best "scripting" in the industry. The single player fps inherently uses scripting in order to advance the plot. Contrary to flame posts from overtired mouth breathing aspies on various gaming boards, huge amounts of scripting are seen in nearly all the major groundbreaking fps titles since Wolfenstein 3D. If anything it's progressive with just how much is done in-engine without relying on cut scenes and automated sequences.

Oh, no doubt, it's great. I just wish the gameplay were as exciting and progressive.
 
fair enough, I never finished CoD4's single player and I don't really plan on it.
 
I actually liked CoD 4, even though I hate when a game relies heavily on scripts.
 
This game would be vastly improved over the first one by doing two simple thing:

1. Stop infinitely respawning enemies.

2. Increase enemy intelligence.

Smaller, finite groups of deadly enemies would feel so much more rewarding and challenging than infinite waves of morons.

Though I know I will wind up buying this either way.
 
I haven't played it in a long time, but IIRC, the last stage on the jet was pretty sweet. Plus you unlock a bonus way of playing the game where you go for points. I really like it.
 
I enjoyed CoD4's single player as well as World At War. So I'll be getting this one on release. May finally give the multiplayer a stab as well.
 
You haven't tried either of the games' multiplayer? You're missing out.

I think about it, then I go and check out some multiplayer vids to get some tips then find that it seems its populated by idiots who are more interested in telling the rest of the players what noobs they are and how they all have sexual relations with their mothers. That's when I decide against it and play some L4D instead.
 
Good plan; it's a colossal waste of time unless you're intent on a masochistic ritual.
I'm not a real hard-core COD4 guy, but on any difficulty below Veteran I didn't find that to really be the case. I die plenty, but it check points so frequently it was never a big deal.

Can it be true? The mighty intelligence of Samon, confounded by a simple linear rollercoster ride?
 
I was implying it was an average, mediocre game, not a difficult one. Jeez.

I really hate the word jeez. Shame on you both for making me use it.
 
11/10/09 shall be a glorious day. DO WANT.

EDIT: Wait, is that the illogical time format that America seems to use? Is it November 10th or October 11th?

November 10th.

Idk about MW2, as it seems right now, it seems a little too tactical.
