Modern Warfare 2

Are trophies not working on PS3? I downloaded the patch this morning after opening the game and am at Burger Town and not had any trophies, not even showing anything in my trophies list, very odd.

I got several trophies popping up last night mate (PS3).

That just sucks, not even that keen on this type of game so i would at least like some reward for my struggles.

The trophy glitch seems to be one of those random ones. My mates having trouble getting them to unlock but mine are coming through fine.

I agree about the blood and overly big message. A very poor design choice indeed. Also is it just me or do the enemies seem to be able to shoot you before they see you. I know this has always been a problem in these games, but it seems worse now.

It was worse than I thought it would be, but its either that or Cyclops eye.

It is almost like Gears of War blood which works as its an over the top game. This stuff looks more like jam than the stuff in Gears though.

It's not like in Rainbow Six where you can cover and you get the first shot. They can see you through layers of cover down a tiny alleyway 400 meters from where they are.

Yep. It is so bad that after dying for about the 30th time in one section in

I dropped from Hardened to Regular difficulty. Seriously, that's something I never do. But it was ****ing ridiculous, I spawned and was getting slammed from 3 sides within a second, pixel perfect enemy shooting. Sure, some people will love it, but I'm playing for fun. Plus that ease-of-death seems in direct contrast to the Hollywood Action Film the game is trying to convey, where you seem to do better with a Run & Gun mentality.

The blood does seem a bit over the top. It's hard to tell when you're only mildly injured as it seems to go from nothing to the inside of a jam jar in one shot.

Did anyone else play the airport mission and imagine themselves in the X-factor studio whilst gunning everyone down......?

I went for every single person, I thought if you’re going to do it do it right. Did anyone else go for it on that stage? Hand grenades and all? Come on tell the truth?

Seriously though the game could do without that stage I think. I see what Infinite Ward were trying to do but I think a lot of bad press will come from this and it will be the reference point for any future gun crime or terrible shooting.

What a great game though. Playing on hard and finding it the right difficulty for me, loved the oil rig mission and Brazaillian favella ones. Just rescued the prisoner from the russain jail, wonder whats next.......?

[FelixofMars]

I haven't lowered it yet, mostly as I wanted the SP out the way. Its a shame really if it was more of a compelling experience I may want to do it more than once. But I just want to get it out the way.

As I said in my spoiler comments there where some really cool bits that worked even on Veteran. But the stages like the one you mention are so generic and horrible anyway it was practically the same as the chase scene in the first game.

You are not chasing anyone your carefully picking people off and just clearing out all the super snipers. I would have loved if I could have chased him and maybe had bullets wizz by and a few key guys you have to kill but no.

Almost as bad as the 'snipers' in Halflife 1/2 I hope Valve have got bored with that by the 3rd one.

Re: Trophies on PS3. If you delete the patch that wen up you'll get them but won't be able to do the online side of things.

I want getting trophies but once patch = gone, trophies =get!!

[djtickle]

Im finding online on this horrible at the moment, well getting into a game. Once in a game its ace works well. (Even better when the swapping host bit works).

Im a "Team Deathmatch" person and me and my friends always sat in a party and had a laugh and played. Now i find myself muting everyone as soon as i get in a room apart from my friends. Either that or me and my firends just all play seperate games and play in merc TDM

[mugetsu]

the 1.02 patch is now live and works perfectly for trophies.
another patch is to follow on friday for both 360 and ps3 that fixes the party function.

[FelixofMars]

Yep I am switching to skype, ironic as I use to use Xbox live to chat to my freinds now I have to use PC software %)

Fixes the party function? What does it do!

[FelixofMars]

I don't think so, they have locked out party chat on purpose. I am sure they are not planning to patch it back in.
