Just about to preorder... It looks amazing!

 

[Adam]

Looks immense

Nice one Griff.
Not going to pre order this time, going to wait for the supermarket deals. They are cheaper and you get the game earlier.

 

[kev182cup]

Wow. The replay and save is a really good addition. I can see that knife thing getting tiresome aswell especially with lag etc. I'm pretty sure it will be exactly like mw2 with slightly better graphics.

Does Tescos preorder price promise not cover the price...? Ie if they sell it cheaper on launch day then that's the price you pay... Or is it just a price promise for tesco entertainment.co.uk?

I've preordered but may well also just pop into tescos/asda the morning of release... I'm up at 5.30am anyways lol

I'm not sure mate, all I know is that the last two times COD games have been released I have been sat at home all day waiting for a delivery to arrive when I could have easily just nipped to ASDA and got it. I've paid 40 quid for the last two, going for a £26 special in the supermarket this time.

 

[AK]

Yeah I'll be going to the shops and just returning my pre order.

 

[Blue Mez]

Do you lot think there's any chance of this going cheap at the supermarkets like MW2 did?

 

[Griff]

Another break down of the trailer -

 

[AK]

Is it the 9th of November or the 11th of September that it's released lol?

 

[Pedro]

Looks amazing.


/Preorders

 

[Pedro]

Is it the 9th of November or the 11th of September that it's released lol?

11th November according to Amazon.

 

[AK]

Bloody hell lol

 

[Griff]

November 9th is the official worldwide release. Amazon is wrong (as usual).

 

[CCrispUK]

Yeah, Amazon prob taking it from MW2's release date.

Looks great actually, one thing which is worrying is how much like MW2 is looks. From a PC players point of view, if it includes IWnet system- or similar, it'll be a real kick in the balls. Also, i hope it doesnt force you to use Steam.
No point in preordering ont he PC as usual, it'll never sell out haha.

 

[DB.]

Any websites you can preorder without paying now?

 

[CCrispUK]

In store in GAME or gamestation, pay when you collect.

 

[AK]

Think the tesco one also.

 

[Pedro]

I didnt think shops were allowed to take money until the item itself was dispatched?

It's already been confirmed a long time ago that it will include dedi servers and use punkbuster so it won't be like MW2 on Steam/IWNET.

 

[Ben]

Seen the Prestige Edition?

[Spiezels]

A remote control car for £80 i'd rather NVG's haha

 

[Pedro]

Seems better then the other super dooper edition but still not worth the going rate i dont think.

[GeordieClioDriver]

[Spiezels]

Ooooh its got a camera on it... ACE tbf

 

[Rhino172]

lol thats just stupid. loads of people complaining about the price of Kinect (not on here, elsewhere) cos it costs £130 but i bet the same people go and buy this...just one game for £130 and a toy car you'll probably use once then it'll be left to collect dust.....ooh and a medal to prove you really do have more money that sense...

 

[C.J]

Was just about to Pre-order from GAME (Every pre-order I've done has come 1-3 days early)

Noticed I pre-ordered on 27/05 anyway LOL

Looks mint, haven't touched MW2 in 3 months now.

How can you forgot that you preordered already? haha

 

[dk]

well i gave in and ordered the prestige edition again, the NVG's were good quality and always have people asking when they come around so i'm getting the RC car one.

 

[Spiezels]

They pretty good in the dark then DK?

Is it total dark too or do they need some light.

 

[FiXX]

lol the nvg's are totally s**t! mines have came out the cupboard once i think! cant see s**t and you have to walk like a zombie, arms outstretched etc so as to not bump into anything!

 

[172boost]

Definitely.

yours must be broken then or you didn't read the instructions about the low and high power modes.

 

[dk]

totally dark is fine, they have two modes, total stealth where you can't see anything lit up on the goggles and and higher power mode where a ring of leds ligts up on the front so you can be seen but much further visibility, so depends on whether you want to be seen or not.

Everyone who has used mine have been very impressed with them, they're no £1000 set but they are very good for the price!

 

[Spiezels]

Yeah for £80 or whatever it works out at they sound pretty schweet.

Not broken, I've tried mates too, they just aren't good... They work, yes... Just not very well and like i said you have to walk around arms outstretched so you don't walk into anything!

 

[dk]

Mine are not like that, they are great
