Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

[MTK]

So who else was up way too late last night playing?

I dreamed about it all night, loving this game so far. The airport chapter in single player is disturbing.

[mredskins]

I went to midnight. I was still hitting buttons like I was playing Halo, annoying.

I only played multi-player.

can someone give me a 101 on multi-player?

Waht is up with the planes and helicopters flying over?

And is the map on top of the screen does it work like Halo and show you where folks are or coming from?

You can call in planes and choppers based on kill streak rewards.

Yeah that's your radar at the top left.

[hooskins]

Another thing is you can change what kill streak rewards you get. You earn the right to unlock new killstreak rewards.

With the radar, it shows where people are based on if you hear them(aka if they shoot). Also all people will be visible if your team earns a UAV radar.




Hey Matty, is it just me or does the UAV radar/ regular radar lag behind the one in COD before. I feel like I am always 3-5 steps behind of anticipating enemy movement when I am looking at the radar. I feel like the old mod. warfare UAV updated more than just every 5 secs. Maybe the people just move faster in this version. Not too sure.

[hooskins]

Also wth is up the game manual. 7 pages with absolutely no real help lol. Activision really trying to save some bucks huh?

[mredskins]

how do you pick up the box the plane drops?

Also I have been playing on free for all just because I feel bad if I play on a team becasue I suck so bad. this is how I learned Halo just many games if me getting my a$$ kicked.

Care package? You just throw it in front of you, and then you walk up to the flare and press X(xbox 360).

Isn't that how most manuals are these days? I don't remember the last one I've even bothered to look at.

I haven't noticed. I'm so used to playing hardcore that I don't look at the radar much.

[hooskins]

Fair enough, hardcore wasnt available for me, still needa earn it. Or maybe it was. I will go back.

[hooskins]

In terms of manuals, I just miss the old days. Reading a game manual was like reading a mini-comic. A lot of background info, etc. I use to look forward to reading the entire manual, but now I just feel like they are cutting corners to save money.

Internet has everything I need, so I guess it doesn't matter.

[MTK]

I think the manuals have gone away simply because most games now have tutorials that show you how to play. It's easier to learn that way vs. flipping through the manual.

[SolidSnake84]

Agreed. I remember back in the day when the old Super NES manuals were great to read. I remember carrying around my Super Mario World manual just to read when i was in elementary school

What are in the care packages?


Manuals are a thing of the past, most games come with a tutruiol built into the game or the have some really easy level that gets you going. LittleBigPlanet was like that, first two levels were jsut learning the game.

I also think moving forward that FPS are really not going to have a story line becasue 90% of people buy the game for the on-line play.

the old Madden games use to come with a playbook. That was some great sitting on the shiter studying right there.

[hooskins]

I got a 26-13. Too many deaths, but I will work on that. But yeah, on that note I am going to bed.
