Yea the PS3 does struggle on big maps, especially Jungle - it doesn't like that.

Just can't see how they can justify this is a new release.

Very similar gameplay to MW2, just less aesthetically pleasing and more bloated.

Doesn't add up.

I have tried to google it (pretty lame attemt to be honest), but couldn't find the answer.

Does anyone know how much it will be at PC world?

Agreed, many are lucky to receive the game before they are supposed to. But the original point of pre ordering is guaranteeing a copy on that release day, not 'get it before anyone else a few days before'.

+1

I really don't see why people moan about not getting it early. The idea of pre-ordering is to receive a copy on release day not before. I don't know where the pre-ordering and receive x amount of days beforehand came from???

ShopTo stated that at Activisions request they would not be sending them out till today. As I keep saying how can GAME, the hut, gamegears etc get away with sending them early every year and not be penalised??? :S

 

[H.Maxim]

didnt get much sleep last night lol, was visualising what i needed to do when i got the same game strategy lol.

so what's the default stuff them when you first start, perk wise and gun wise?

There is basically 1 default class for each weapon class. Assault rifle with m16, smg with mp5k, default shotgun(which is pretty crap), sniper class and a lmg class too.

Thanks,

I googled it, but failed to consider that using the PC world site would be a better idea.......

##EDIT## Apparently, the in-store price is....erm...silly.

 

[Craigus]

I'l be passing through the town centre at 11pm. I wonder how many people will be queing up at the game shops an hour early. Look's like Craigus may be there

I may be tempted to go back at 12, but may be a tightwad and get it in sainsburys cheaper with my shopping 2moro night. Hope they don't sell out the first day.

Lol, I'll be in the queue at Sainsbury's mate, I doubt there will be many people there, you should be able to get it in the morning.

 

[Moose4624]

Im going to be going to HMV, get it for 7.95 if i trade in MOH, which i got for free anyway-result!

 

[richy22]

I really do fancy going to my local Tesco but honestly im sure I can wait 8 more hours (well 11 by the time mr postie gets here)

 

[ilovewilly]

Lol, I'll be in the queue at Sainsbury's mate, I doubt there will be many people there, you should be able to get it in the morning.

Sainsubury's is opening at midnight especially for a game release!? Or are they just staying open from 10?

Random. I can do my shopping at the same time and save the difference

 

[Craigus]

Opening at 12 Apparently.

 

[Spiezels]

Love that griff.

Gonna pick mine up tomo HMV/MoH deal.

Canny wait?

 

[Griff]

Launch event has just started at Battersea power station.. Nothing interesting happened so far.

 

[Spiezels]

Arn't sure what you mean?

 

[Alastair.]

wonder how many people will get red rings, i would probly go mental. Should be ok micosoft repaired myne a few months ago

 

[Spiezels]

I've had 2 now the first was an original release too and never got red rings.

Sold my other one to dannylee and iirc that is still going strong.

Got lucky I guess, played FO3/NV and BF:BC2 on em for 8 hours at a time too.

 

[172boost]

[ekaJ]

If I go to my local 24hour tesco, can I be sure they are selling it at midnight?

I agree but that's what an smg should be, deadly at close range. Someone mentioned it's too accurate at the hip.....err that's cause they are. He also mentions that you can't snipe with smg's anymore and there is a lack of snipers due to no qs.

[Danny133]

ill stick with my texo pre order at £34 then

 

[Geddes]

that's the way it should be imo, sniping should be just for long range no shitty quick scoping, every gun class should be what they are designed for. as he said ACR on mw2 you can snipe with it. i agree this shouldnt be in this game. fair is fair

 

[Feirny]

Giddy as a kipper after watching that video.

 

[JJ!]

My Amazon order still says dispatching soon... clowns!

So whats the difference in layout?

 

[CCrispUK]

My amazon was dispatched a few hours ago, finally!

 

[172Ben]

OMG its terrible!

 

[DrR]

TBH i'm not that impressed, jerkyness is pissing me off.

 

[C.J]

Nice to have zombie mode back. Seems a lot harder though.

Online is cool, loving the NukeTown level.

 

[ekaJ]

TBH i'm not that impressed, jerkyness is pissing me off.

Get an xbox? :rasp:

 

[JJ!]

Seems to be more negative about this than when MW2 was out! :-/

 

[RoryW]

Thats because MW is overall a better game i think.

 

[Spiezels]

It seems as though the guys that hated W@W sont like this, I however liked it so I should be fine.

I'd pay for a zombies game tbh so this'll do.

 

[DAIR]

TBH i'm not that impressed, jerkyness is pissing me off.

Explain..

 

[DrR]

Explain..

Ever played a game on a pc thats not "good enough" to run, low frame rate it, it plays like that.

[H.Maxim]

The SMGs are definitely a lot shorter range now, which they should be. You can still pick people off from a distance but you have to be uber accurate.

Hopefully PSN won't crash come midnight, been enjoying it so far :rasp:
