Modern Warfare 2

[Hell No..]

I don't care, it was amazing. Haha!

 

Yeah it does, but what mode can you get 500 per kill?

[manofpeace]

That looked like SnD to me.

 

Speaking of knives, I recently got Commando Pro, and the No Fall Damage has been helping quite a bit lately.

[Enjoii]

@Enjoii, your kidding? All that work to start from Level 1 again?

Yeah, pretty much. You lose everything other than your callsign stuff and get everything reset. As I mentioned though you also get rewards this time, which I don't really like. The whole point of going into prestige is that you lose everything and start over, you're not supposed to be rewarded for it in my opinion.

So what rewards do we get precisely? Because I'm really curious.

One more customisable class

New badges I think

New titles

New challenges

[Hell No..]

So people online can tell that you have at least reached the highest level?

[Slick Willy]

Yes. Your rank badge (the icon next to your name, not your callsign emblem) will signify that you are in your first Prestige Mode playthrough and will stay the same through all 70 levels while just your number rank increases from 1 to 70.

 

Finally a day off from work. Time to get at it!

[Edmachine]

Sort of. I can tell if they've prestiged or not by looking at their title and/or emblem (or badge, whatever). If it's unlocked at a higher level than they are in, they've prestiged.

 

EDIT: @Slick Willy: I am pretty sure, that they can change their rank badge. I think.

 

I had a 1vs2 game. The others where a level 8 and a level 7, I think. Got some score screens from other matches. Gonna post later.

[Rebel]

I've just moved my Xbox downstairs to the bigger TV. I'll be playing online later tonight and can't wait to get playing on a huge ass TV, hopefully it might help a little as well since I'll actually be able to tell what the f*ck is going on come game time.

[Slick Willy]

How would one know some one is in their prestige playthrough if the rank badge and numbers are still the same as the first one? I'm pretty sure it stays constant instead of going from stripes to bars to starts etc. I saw someone at level 16 and instead of the standard stripes, they had a rank icon that looked a lot like the first prestige icon from MW1.

 

I wasn't referring to the emblem that you can choose along with your title if that is what you were thinking.

[FullMetal]

This sounds sad but I had to play the 'last level' today in a 'multimedia' store today in order to know what it was... since my game crashes while loading it. I must say it's pretty cool and well done but it's more of an interactive cutscene in my opinion. Price STILL lives (same thing counts for Soap) which is really odd when you see what is going on. Also, haven't stated this yet but I think it's great they still use Nikolai... that was in my opinion the biggest surprise of the whole game.

 

That said, I need to get my hands on the ACR :].

[macorules94]

5 day temp ban for being an idiot.

Enjoy.

If that is really what happens then f*ck you.

[oldage]

 

OMG SPOILER

jesus f*ck, ever heard of f*cking spoilers?

 

 

@enjoii: going into prestige without rewards seems kinda pointless to me...I didn't go prestige on cod4 because there was no reward and instead, I made a new account. that way I can start over again and still have my weapons, perks... on my other account.

 

 

I went prestige in WaW and will probably do here too.

No, he`s just a c*nt.

[oldage]

thanks waddy!

[Slick Willy]

Thanks Waddy.

 

I purposely haven't even started SP yet, saving it for a a rainy day. I feel totally violated.

[Reconite]

So, my brother got this game yesterday (no, I haven't given in to the hype, even though I'd like to) and so far it looks pretty... much like the first one. Sure, the story, guns, characters and pretty much all of single player are different but it's way too short, he completed half of it in 2 hours. The multiplayer is at least a bit different, with the Tactical Nuke and new maps. I doubt it's actually worth the £50 he paid for it, way overpriced.

poor russians, russia banned MW2.

 

 

Due to the nature in which Russians are portrayed in Modern Warfare 2, the country has banned the sale of the game and have begun to recall all copies that were already sold.

 

The most complained about part of the game centers around a group of terrorists shooting civilians inside a Russian airport. Infinity Ward is already working on a version of the game that completely removes this level and is hoping to re-release the game in less than a month's time. However, this new version may still not be enough to allow the game to be sold in that region given how the game centers around a war between the US and Russia.

 

    Russian gamers are apparently very unhappy with the game's content. One Web site, GotPS3, railed against Infinity Ward for catering to an American audience and ignoring the sensitivities of other cultures. The site believes that Infinity Ward portrays the Russians as terrorists.

 

This isn't the first time a country has taken issue with how their homeland was portrayed in a game. Another recent example is when the Venezuelan government took issue with Mercenaries 2 or when the North Korean government took issue with Ghost Recon 2.

[Slick Willy]

Weren't the Orcs really pissed about LOTR in a similar matter? LOL it is fiction. I'm surprised the Ruskies haven't just captured top scientists to create a better, more powerful game where they kick some American ass. A video game cold war is just as good as any other!

I'd buy it.

That was to be expected, I mean China banned C&C Generals because you blew up some freaking damn while playing as the Chinese or something.

 

Also S&D made me realise how much I suck at this game

How do you get your national flag as your call-sign??

[oldage]

 

How do you get your national flag as your call-sign??

they're in the last few pages, mine were unlocked as soon as I started making my callsign.

edit: page 12.

National flag call signs are unlocked from the very start. Has anyone noticed that grenades are not as powerful as WaW or COD4? Maybe its just me but in both of those games whenever I threw one towards the enemy on MP they would die. But now even if I do the same it wont kill them. Its a right pain in the ass, I think I'll switch to the throwing knife for that very reason.

[Slick Willy]

Definitely not as powerful and you cannot throw them as far either. I've never seen or gotten a martyrdom kill either. Obviously a move to limit all of the random grenade spamming from 4. But whataya know... yesterday some loser was spamming with his grenade launcher all over our spawn (they can go clear across the map). The idiots are adapting.

[ScratchCard]

I'm gonna replay the story on recruit now and collect all Intel.

 

I'm gonna do it all by myself.

True I've ran into a couple of people who use them more so than their actual gun. A right pain in the ass if you just spawn and then get shot in the face with one.

[FullMetal]

I only use grenadelaunchers to protect our spawn and/or to protect our points (in Dom/CTF/...).

 

Also, I finally found out a great tactic for snipers... it's a great workaround for the lack of claymores. Thing is you have to sacrifice whatever other perk you want in the first slot.

 

Use scavenger on your sniper class... it's really helpfull when you run out of ammo PLUS you can place more claymores :]. I just played a match of CTF, rigged almost every route possible to the flag with one claymore (and just picked up more 'ammo' with scavenger) and just waited for them).

 

It was great fun... I could just walk around our 'flag' freely without having to worry. Just check out those spots if you hear/see that some have blown up. You can just snipe without any worries.

 

Also, Raffika is a great weapon though it's f*cking overpowered. It makes the other handguns/machine pistols useless in my opinion. Though it's more satisfying to use REAL pistols though. But then again, GOD I miss the "Colt 1911"!

I agree, I've noticed that also.
