Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Yeah, while it's really ridiculous, it's gonna be an extremely rare occurrence because 1. how often do people actuallly get 25 kill streaks(I think I got that high maybe twice in COD4, my highest being 28) and 2. like you said, why waste a killstreak on something so out of reach?

I think when it happens, it'll be a 'tip your hat' situation.

yea i agree. To be honest since it looks like its going to be so rare it will probably be pretty exciting to see it happen and also pretty funny

CR29, forget about ESRB... How is this getting released on Australia and the uncut version of L4D2 don't?!?!

It's probably only gratuitous violence they have a problem with. I haven't watched the MW2 videos Spoiler:

but as long as there isn't gibs and heads and limbs being chopped off, it will probably be ok. Even if they are innocent civilians, it's contextualised and not gratuitous, and as others have said, skippable

That said, I just ordered a HK edition from play-asia, just incase. With a $5 off voucher in total it was about $65AU, RRP will be ~$100AU. Censored games hasn't been a worry for me for a loooong time

EDIT: It's been classified 15+ in Australia. No need to worry.

I am not excited in the least for this game.Its gonna be the same gameplay as the past 9 games and I really think the whole marketing scheme for this game ais gonna blow it out of proportion.Also the latest scheme besides cutting dedicated servers,multiplayer down to 9v9 and tactical nukes is this:

You play as a terrorist in one level and murder innocent civilians in a Russian airport.It is the first game to ever offer a warning label before you watch/play the cutscene.http://www.mygaming.co.za/news/News/...simulator.html

If that isnt the lowest excuse to make controversy to boost sales,I dont know what is.

That's really, really, REALLY fucking lame. Wow.

Yeah, but what's really the probability that you'll get a 25 kill killstreak. And since you can choose the 3 killstreaks, why would you put the third killstreak to 25 kills, cause you probably won't get a killstreak that long many times, so why not put it a few kills lower.

I'm excited for this game, very much so, like i've enjoyed the last two Call Of Duty games.

But fkc me, just been reading Modern Warfare 247 and am amazed at some of the stuff piled into this. I'm concerned that party chat has been disabled for most modes, but co-op stuff like Spec Ops, 16 multiplayer maps at launch, and death streaks really have me pumped.

Less than a week away, bring it!

Modern Warfare 2 geared to be the 'highest-selling game of all-time.'

It'll be interesting to see how the mode plays. The quality is still pretty bad, but now you can see crosshairs on the screen...almost Uncharted- or Gears-like. I'm gonna be playing the regular gametypes most often, obviously, but if I'm just messing around with friends, the third-person view might be fun.

Third-person gameplay confirmed:

Brilliant. "ThePS3Community" posting videos from a leaked 360 game.

Activision already confirmed the third person made anyway.

well i saw the video of the airport scene and it was quite gruesome. Shame the quality was so shitty though. Also i noticed that you can actualy see the guy who posted the vid in the TV screens reflection lol
