Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Do you need to have the console flashed to run an external hard drive though?

Regardless, trying to defend people with flashed consoles by saying larger hard drives is a benefit is like people buying R4 carts for their Nintendo DS and saying it's purely for homebrew.

Thumbs up to the guy for mentioning the poor bastards who just want bigger hard drive space.

Those HDDs are darn expensive (the 360 ones).

That is fucking awesome, actual fucking awesome! Reminds me of some of the insane plasma grenades in Halo 3.

But yeah i've killed a few people with the throwing knives. They're a bitch to get right, satisfying when you do though.

Anyone use the Throwing Knife yet? I tried it. Pretty tough to use, takes some luck.

But...THIS much luck?

Welp, Update 1.03 is out for the PS3. Not sure what it does...no word from fourzerotwo yet.

EDIT: fourzerotwo has responded on Twitter.

Can someone go wake up the Sony Japanese team and tell them to turn on the Presence server? Only thing preventing invites for #MW2 PS3...
Sony sent us a message saying only their Japanese team can turn on the Presence server. Odd response, I know.
All issues have been patched. Only thing were waiting on now is Sony to enable Presence server for #MW2 and we're golden
I've been told it should only be a few more hours until they're up and will address.
The Patch you downloaded this morning was all you needed. Once the Presence server is turned back on you will be good.


...WAKE UP, JAPAN!

well for the moment Online is really laggy but they have made one improvement. When the Host leaves the game it doesnt just shut down the game like MW1 but it actualy selects a new host and then the game carrys on rather than restarts! its great. I imagine that online will get a bit less lagy as time passes though.

They need to fix the party situation on PS3 very fucking quickly because I'm sick of playing by myself and having a 3-1 K/D ratio and still fucking losing TDM's because everyone on my team is a fucking retard.

I think Treyarch should leave the "Call Of Duty" franchise a bit and make a zombie IP. Nazi zombies was masterful, I think they have the potential to do a fantastic zombie FPS. With all I have read, I'll make time for MW2 on december, 'cause DSC and Lefty 2 have my attention for this month.

[WeskerIncarnate]

Oooooor...they just didn't expect things to be hammered in the way they have?

Its all very well saying they knew it would be big, but this game has sold DOUBLE the record holder for first day sales in the UK, that would be beyond IW's expectations, they'd have never seen a demand this huge for it.

You'd think people would be grateful for the fact that they're on the ball and working on the fix for it already.

It's not that. I don't even own the game yet...

Though you're right. Many other devs take months or NEVER release patches for their games (Mass Effect *cough*).

yea there does seem to be a trend of IW 1 year Treyarch the next.

Is it just me or do the maps seem a hell of a lot better than MW1. They seem larger and more detailed with a lot more levels, rooms etc. Loving this game im totally addicted to the online play

[Stu]

Whatever the ending, it won't be continued in the next game. Modern Warfare is IW's arc, they won't let Treyarch walk all over that at all. That said, yeah, 2010 is Treyarch's year to handle the franchise, so this won't be continued until 2011.

Anyway...

Love this game.

Partied up with one of my usual team earlier for a few games on Domination, first time i've tried anything on Modern Warfare outside of the normal deathmatch scenarios. Felt good that there was actually a purpose to all my running around other than JUST shooting people.

Just had a go at Domination on Estate (amazing map). Basically hung around the house defending point C, was a fucking legend again with the sniper rifle, popping heads, scoring lots of bonuses, can't go wrong!

Am finishing with more kills than i have deaths now as well which is quite refreshing haha

And allow me to put this across as eloquently as i possibly can, i have turned into one efficient killing motherfucker! Used to drive me nuts in the original Modern Warfare when i'd see the kill cam, and some twat is headshotting me from miles out with a machine gun...and then it dawned on me...i was nailing those same kills! Fantastic!
