Be Excellent To Each Other

They'll be rubbish! Probably semi low light instead of anything else, I'd guess. Cheap green LCD and a ropey camera with some simple image enhancements thrown on top. I suppose it's not as if they're going to be used in Afghanistan just someone's front room.

Although I would sort of want them to be amazing! Military grade goggles with infra-red too.

See, night-vision goggles would be cool. For five minutes. I'd have no practical application for them, though, and so splurging £120 is way beyond daft for me.

Leave them by the door.

Sneaking in home to not wake the wife by sticking on the lights will be make a lot easier!

and as itsallwater said, they're going to be crap quality.

I can't help but think that Glastonbury + Additives + Night Vision = Wowness.

Badger bumming.

as long as they make a click and a high pitch whine noise when you turn them on i'm happy! I can follow Lady Droman around the house at night a la Buffalo Bill.

Pre-ordered.

FTFY.

I've got a sneaking suspicion this game won't be very good.

Not sure why.

The trailers so far make it seem a little bit, erm, Michael Bay maybe.

I'm going to wait for reviews I think (and a decent price obviously). Which is interesting because it might be the first game which my GF buys out of frustration for me not buying it.

I'm expecting it to be rather ZOMG due to thoroughly enjoying CoD:MW.

I hope some of the multiplayer stuff is improved upon though.

I'll be waiting for the reviews first mind, don't think I've ever pre-ordered a game.

I think it will be a thoroughly enjoyable romp, just like the last one. Can't see it having much lasting appeal, not for me anyway.

I'm a bit fed up with the ultra-scripted CoD games. CoD2 was really, really good single player, CoD4 less so. I just can't see myself getting that excited about it this time around. The multiplayer for CoD4 was good, but I can't see this being a radical departure seeing as they've stumbled onto a formula of Halo-beating proportions.

CoD4 is the best single player FPS I have ever played.

Really? I could name quite a few that I had more fun with. Different strokes for different people, though.

I loved the variety.

More Ghillies, please!

That'll do!

The formula being Juggernaut + Martyrdom, assault rifle, lag.

You forgot n00b ch00b.

Not on hardcore.

I swear, they write shit like that just to see how many idiot 14 year olds they then hear on Live blabbering excitedly about how true it must be.

Apart from that being one of the crappiest photoshop jobs ever (the huge black borders around the buttons and the way the impression around the righthand stick just disappears), how the hell would you play with that? You might *just* reach the lefthand stick with your thumb while holding the rifle, but you'd never be able to manipulate the others effectively.

A Silent Scope controller would be cooler, but the big problem with gun games is, even with a little pistol, your arms get hella tired after a few minutes.

It would be funny if they had a 'win a chance to do Call of Duty: Modern Warfare FOR REAL!' contest... and everyone who entered and didn't read the fine print had in fact signed up for a three year hitch in the US Army with a guaranteed posting in Eye-rak.

Now, an economist type has been quoted on Eurogamer as saying it is indeed just Activision being greedy, as it's nothing to do with the weak pound so much as them wanting to see just how much idiots will pay for a 'hot' game.

Frankly, they can fuck off. It's also been pointed out that retailers like Argos and Amazon who are selling it cheap are taking the profit hit, not Activision.

Yeah, fuck 'em. I've had more fun out of BF1943 than I did with CoD4, anyway. Roll on Bad Company 2 and BF3.

You seem to forget ArmA2 and Operation Smashpoint: Rising Dragon

And Frontlines 2 (maybe).

"Frontlines 2" is "Homefront", set in an even more ludicrous future scenario in which North Korea has invaded the United States! In a Red Dawn scenario, you use even more improbably robo-weapons to try and liberate your homeland.

Sounds a bit pants, tbh.

Arse.

mumblemumblepronemuttermutter

You sound like you need a lie down, my friend.

ERM.


(Watch in HD if you can.)

Definitely excited now. The overpricing cunts. Where are we getting cheap pre-orders at the mo?

Mate, that photoshop effort was clearly just a tongue in cheek effort to fill the image space, rather than putting a screenshot of MW2 in or something. DUH!

Oh my word.

Fun times.

Given that I've extracted about a billion pounds worth of enjoyment from CoD4, I don't mind giving them a massive wodge of cash for this one.

That said, obviously the cheaper the better.

Crikey. That video looks interesting indeed.

Wow.


I just watched that video and I jizzed in my pants.

Javelin - Yes!

AC130s - Yes!

YES YES YES!

I think I've just messed my pants with excitement.

looks like you get Stingers to fuck up helicopters AC-130s etc. This is good.

I paid £45 for CoD4 and I'll happily pay a tenner more for MW2. It's not THAT much more money for something Im bound to get as much enjoyment from playing with Bobby and Curiosity

Oh... fucking Aliens-style motion detector on the LMG!!!!!

They could charge me £100 and force me to crawl over broken glass, and I'd still be buying this game.

That was on the gameplay footage at E3

Snow mission - snow blindness - can see enemies.

Looks ace!

after that video colour me excited about MW2
wasnt too bothered before but that does look pretty special

Unless Martyrdom now sets off a nuclear blast that kills everyone else in the level who doesn't have Juggernaut or the new Lead Underpants perk, I'm not interested.

It better have a fucking Lead Underpants perk, don't fucking mess with me about this!!

I've heard that a 10 kill streak gives you a sniper. Thats another bonus that I won't ever be calling in then.

How many kills to summon a helicopter that fires dogs?

The lead underpants are apparently to defend against the new kick-in-the-nuts melee attack, but are next to useless against the nuclear warhead martyrdom drops.

This is paper-rock-scissors for the new generation!
