Modern Warfare 2

[Rossco]

Yeh you are right, my mate I play with always has a stinger and constantly taking helicopters etc out the sky! Eventually unlocked the Chopper Gunner yesterday and used it to get kill streak of 28! Really love that one, so much better than the AC130.

I played COD4 for 14 days online and I will DEFINITELY play this for more. Think I'm up to 16 hours on this so far.

Lucky knife throw:

Amazing!

Played Spec-Ops in co-op for the first time last night. What an brilliant experience that is.

The one with the helicopter and the AC-10 are amazing fun. I like how it's actually a nice balance between all out carnage and actual tactics (like the Body Count one, and the one in the Airplane graveyyard).

For those who have completed the game:

->Open Spoiler<-

When you open up the "Museum" special level from the Mission Select screen you're in the museum bit from the credits and can wander round etc. However, in two of the rooms on the information desks are buttons you can press to bring everyone in that room to life who will immediately try and kill you!

Great fun! Have a go. I don't think there are trophies / achievements for it though.

Thanks for that Smoke. Would never have known about that, haven't played the game since i completed it because i've been very busy. Next available oppertunity, i'll check it out!

Incredibly hard game this on single player... Sometimes the never ending onslaughts just seem too unfair - so well done to those who complete it on veteran..

However - I've been completely sucked in my the multiplayer, in nearly the exact same way as the first game did, namely free-for-all. Placing in the top 3 nearly every match, and slowly getting the challenges done at the same time.. Just so much fun to play it's unreal.

Is anybody else seeing a lot of lag when playing online? (360 version )Recently finished the SP campaign so jumped into MP. I think I've had one game where I'm not jerking about out of about 8.

[ezee ryder]

Been playing the 360 version online for a good few days now and there is the odd laggy game but the majority of them have been perfect.

[Matt]

Yeah, I've played a lot of games any only had a few issues. One was so bad I jumped out, only to get straight back in to it when I went to Find Game Always seems to be lag issues after migrating hosts, but at least you can finish the game and next round it's fine.

[Kubrick]

Online has been pretty solid for me so far. The matchmaking system seems to match you up with fellow brits or Europeans most of the time.

The fly in the ointment (and this was also the case in COD4) is Ground War. I've yet to play a game where it hasn't been plagued with lag and host migrations, and migrating host does not happen as quickly as that pre-release trailer made out!

[Skull Commander]

Ground war was fine last night, but today it's been an absolute nightmare. I'm guessing that the weeked is just too busy and that ground war just has too much going on.

[Matt]

Too many players for a user to host, more bandwidth is needed. 6v6 seems to be about right, though there is of course some latency issues as shown via the kill cam.

Yeah, saw you boys caning that last night. Spec Ops seems a great addition to the game, and I'll look forward to that.

How many coop missions are there?

[Spatial]

It's five sets (Alpha through to Echo) and each one of those has five (I think) different missions.

Plenty to keep you occupied and there's a fantastic mixture in there.

[ezee ryder]

I see IGN hve given this 9.4. I'm intrigued as to what Edge and GamesTM will score it.

Edge gave it a 9.

Pc version here, core i7 4890 radeon, jesus christ it looks good, smooth as silk and the 1080 resolution is amazing. Single player was awesome ( 5 and half hours ) multiplayer is even better.

Loving it.
