And that's where they went 'wrong' with making it present day, as you don't really have 'ordinary' soldiers anymore. Well, you do, but they don't do the same things as they did back in WWII.

I dunno, I thought the USMC sections of CoD4 were pretty much the modern equivalent. The SAS stuff, conversely, was rather too close to the unpleasant Rambo-style SAS missions in CoD3.

I can't imagine a "Quell the estates in Niron by shooting unarmed crowds, then go out and pissed up before going abroad, shooting a few more civilians who you feel to be terrorists, ducking due process, then going further abroad suffering an injury on the way to lunch when being blown up due to poor equipment and vehicles and coming back with little to no support or treatment, developing PTSD, joining a contracting company, going to Iraq and shooting a couple of co-workers and spend the rest of your days in a cell in Baghdad, reflecting over the events that brought you there whilst awaiting the long drop" would sell too well.

If this had been posted last saturday it would have been one of the greatest posts ever seen on the internet.

I dont know whats wrong with me today, I cant concentrate at all. I thought Laves post was the last one in this thread...

I was drilling yesterday and managed to burn my hand twice on the drill, and my ears haven't stopped buzzing since, despite wearing ear defenders and no matter how hard I try I can barely get to the end of a post before my concentration has gone.

Weirdly, I actually wondered that this morning when I was walking for the bus before coming to my senses and realising there are two things which make that impossible. Wow, now it feels like the desk is moving underneath me...sorta like waves....I may be coming down with something....

kalmar · **Posted:** Fri Aug 14, 2009 10:56

Eek, this is sounding like the opening scene of an episode of House

I prescribe going home early and then joining us for battlefield 1943 later, when you feel better.

I have a train and then bus journey to look forward to this afternoon. I am going to Kincardine where Jen is picking me up then we're going through to Anstruther for the weekend. No Xbox, but a weekend of watching athletics and football lazing around on the couch. If I've not collapsed by then. If I do collapse, can someone tell them it's not Lupins? Should save some time.

It's never lupins.

Hah.

There's a hairdressers called Lupins opposite my old office in Nantwich. It made me chuckle every time I saw it.

People are totally failing on noticing the good funny this week. My Red Five joke was superb. I tried to find a voice clip - that would have been even better.

Dr Lave · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 5979

So there is duel wielding in now. And instead of Price with his handlebar mostache and very-english-ness Soap has grown up and grown a mohawk.

Hmmm.

Increasingly worried they are going to 'bling' all the charm out of this.

I think I've worked out what I like about MW1 - it was like an 80s action movie. But MW2 seems to be moving towards a Micheal Bay action movie.

Still lowered expectations are easy to meet and all.

EXTREEEEEEME!

Price has to be in it somewhere, otherwise it isn't a proper Call of Duty. (I don't think he was in Doggy Warfare either)

metalangel · **Posted:** Tue Aug 25, 2009 17:21

Soap's mohawk is regulation, is it? Price's ludicrous tache you could at least see them getting away with...

As I've said before, I'm disappointed with the increasing emphasis on special forces and now that we're also getting Bruckheimer-style ludicrous escapades most of the appeal of the series as a singleplayer experience is gone.

Price wasn't in CoD3 either. I assume that it's a Infinity Ward-only thing.

Wullie · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 6183

I'll take your word for that as I have no notion of playing through its campaign again

In other news they've finally dropped the price on the two CoD3 map packs. 400 each now. I'd have been tempted a while back, but it's a bit late now. Even the die-hards are losing interest.

metalangel · **Posted:** Tue Aug 25, 2009 17:47

I dunno, I played it a while back and AceCoolBullet and several other seriously oldschool CoD3 names were still around.

Dimrill · **Posted:** Tue Aug 25, 2009 17:53

If I hear "oo rah" at any point in the narrative, I'm returning mine for a refund.

Wullie · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 6183

In that case I'll stick it on later & see how it's looking

metalangel · **Posted:** Tue Aug 25, 2009 17:55

That'll be fun to explain to Gamestation's surly, pierced staff.

Damn, it's missing the excellent RMPTY FRMTY TWA TWA shotgun and the WAKKAWAKKA pistol.

nickachu · **Posted:** Wed Aug 26, 2009 22:13

oh, liking the sound of new gun add-ons.

G36C and M4.

Yes!

Curiosity · **Posted:** Wed Aug 26, 2009 22:23

Only two sniper rifles? Bobby is going to be a sad panda.

Some of those guns sound fun, as do some of the attachments.

Heartbeat sensors and thermal scopes?

Sounds fun!

Bobbyaro · **Joined:** 18th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 11844

Bit disappointed if there is only two snipers.

It just... looks... so fucking good. I can't quite finger why, but, just look at it! Everything is smooth as silk and polished and good. More excited now. Also, if you watch the very end of the video, the host disconnects and it "reassigns the host", so no more games that end halfway through when the cunt of a host decided to turn his Xbox off.
