Should probably mentino: If you need to discuss more general topics like the realism of dual weilding, please start a a new thread in general gaming. All interesting stuff, just not for in here where people come for game impressions. Thanks.

Got this at midnight last night and was playing it up until 5am! Had to get up at 9am for work so yeah, I'm a bit wrecked. But I just want to go home and play more Played a mixture of single player and multiplayer.

As for the game, I absolutely ****ing love it. It's just a real assault on the senses and has you pumped up continuously throughout the game. The last level I just did there was

->Open Spoiler<-

the gulag, awesome level and obviously inspired by The Rock

I especially love the way the game goes with the

->Open Spoiler<-

american invasion levels, they are really open and the street battles are epic

Of course the guns themselves are pure sex, yep it's like gun porn at times with slick reload animations. I love it

Getting my ass handed to me on multiplayer at the minute though, I haven't played COD4 or W@W for ages so I'm getting nailed. Slowly getting better though.

Quick question for anyone who's completed it

->Open Spoiler<-

is that 'Gaz' doing the voice of 'Ghost' Is the character actually Gaz or did they just get Craig Fairbrass in to do another character as they liked him ?

Anyway, I'm loving it and can't wait to play more. It's just what I want from a COD game but amped up a bit and I'm fine with that. The original COD that comes with the Hardened edition seems to be pretty good as well in terms of port, very smooth and even had online multiplayer though I haven't tried that yet.

Haven't touched single-player yet but multiplayer is awesome, like COD4 cranked up to 11. The number of different weapon config & perk permutations available must be in the millions once everything is unlocked.

Borderlands says hi.

Youd think Borderlands would want to keep its nose out, as fun as it is its repeattive design cant really keep up with the brilliant set peices and inch perfect gameplay of the Modern Warfare games.

Just got this from Morrisons for &#163;26 this morning, which made me very happy, Now Ive played it I'm even happier, Only played the single player so far, but as a big FPS fan i can safley say its one of the most enjoyable ive ever played...

It is at least as good as the first so far.

[Skull Commander]

Quick question. Is it worth installing this on the 360? Anyone compared the load times yet?

i got to admit one thing, i like how the american soldiers are portrayed as loutish idiots, but the british are portrayed cool as fk

Yeah, and people say its not a realistic game....

[MJ]

Spec Ops is great, but it's a shame it uses single player levels and not completely original scenarios.

[NekoFever]

On the realism note, was anyone else bothered by

->Open Spoiler<-

Whiskey Hotel

after the

->Open Spoiler<-

EMP

hits?

->Open Spoiler<-

The White House in real life will certainly be shielded against EMP attacks for communications and stuff like that, but the pulse would have destroyed all the lights, computers and stuff that were turned on and not shielded and grounded at the time.

In any case, it's more an action movie than a realistic thriller, so I'm not going to split too many hairs about it.

[Largo]

aye the story is complete movie die hard fiction this time

except americans securing burger-town, that is mission priority alpha

I think I've counted at least a dozen posts from you today with this theme, not one of them has been game related.

It's a bit sad really.

[MJ]

I'm just on that level and it's

->Open Spoiler<-

very callous, and the way they are just walking through the airport in a calm manner executing civilians without any remorse is quite chilling.

Semi first-play related: during set-up, what are the horizontal and vertical margins exactly, and how are you recommended to set them?

[Wools]

I've played up to Chapter 4 Single Player and have played about 1 hour of Multiplayer.

It's class, just sheer class.

My favourite moment was a certain scene where you realised what you're being instructed to do, followed by "I'll see you on the other side!"
