Can't stand Eminem. I'm not buying it now.

After all the moaning about price, pc exclusions and airport terrorism this game will still rock. It'll be glued into my 360 from day 1 no doubt i'll spend weeks/months/years on it like the last one.

Hopefully it'll live up to all the hype, a big ask but I think it will!!

Happy gaming people!!

I was still a bit indecisive about whether to cancel my preorder or not - but then I saw a level on the ISS......

You noticed it too then. I was wondering if I was the only one whom noticed the ISS blowing apart in outer space while you get a front row view from your space suit wearing character. For those whom may have missed it, the scene is approximately two-thirds of the way through the video clip above.

I've been playing COD4 since 2007, infact I'm playing it right now as I type this. Already payed for this game, hope I get it launch day.

Haters and PC boycotters can suck my massive balls.

Exactly! I take the Mrs to the Cinema and bang! its Ł20 straight away for a few hours (of sometimes) enjoyment, MW2 will cost around Ł45 and I will get hundreds of hours out of it (the Mrs wont, she can have 1v100 Very Happy ).

For those who want to complain about MW2, keep complaining, they wont be able to dilute the excitment and hype that the millions of Gamers out there are waiting for.

See you all online Very Happy !
StonecoldMC on 5 Nov '09
Yeah, what WAS that couple of seconds in outer-space??! Surprised

I mean, I'm just about willing to play through an assult on US soil at the White House (as absurd as that will be) but if this is going to go all Moonraker on us....

Oh, I and I've gone for the bonkers Prestige Edition - it was so delightfully absurd I couldn't help myself!

I think a few of us will get our pre-orders early thanks to the lovely Royal Mail goingon strike so retailers are shipping them by courier early.

I got a mail from GAME on Tuesday night saying mine's dispatched so I hope to have it by Saturday at the latest!
Random Hangman on 5 Nov '09
Is it just me or should Infinity Ward direct a Modern War movie? Very Happy
dark_gamer on 5 Nov '09
Was it just me, or was there a clip in there where your character is in space?!
Typheous on 5 Nov '09
It was quite clearly space lol, not like it was trying to hide it.

Very nice trailer, loving those skull masks.
Also noticed it looks like we have another level on a helicopter using the side gun (little clip about mid way through, in Washington, shooting enemies with RPGs atop one of the monuments in D.C. - the water fountain one with 50 ports for the 50 states).

Majorly psyched. Ordered it from play.com today with the hope it might come on the weekend.
gothchild on 5 Nov '09
i'm sooo frickken moist for this game...
The_Angry_Badger on 5 Nov '09
A review embargo that ends on release day
QuestionQuestionQuestionQuestionQuestionQuestionQuestion
Hmmmm I hope this doesn't disappoint, I am starting to get sucked into the hype now and have been stocking up on Work Leu days, Red bull, silver Benson&hedges, stella artios and quality alone time from the wife..

whoop whoop LaughingLaughingLaughing
ewko117 on 5 Nov '09
Someone tell me what album that tune is from pls... thanks. Also this game going to f**king rock... Mouse & Keyboard FTW Razz ....
monkey_punch on 5 Nov '09
monkey_punch it's 'Till I Collapse' by Eminem, on his album The Eminem Show.


Hope that helps! Smile

Couch, sofa, joypad & beer(lots of) = no contest. Wink



PS, I'll be on the old Corona Extras, what's everyone else getting in? Confused
ted1138 on 5 Nov '09
I'm not much of a Beer drinker myself, but I do need to stock up on rations for the coming onslaught of awesome gaming!!! What to get, what to get!?!?! Very Happy

monty_79, are you seriously gonna boycott this game because they used the song of an artist (and I use that term loosely) that u don't, like in an advert!?!?! Of all the reasons to not get this game, thats the worst I've heard, dude!!!

Anyway, I noticed the ISS blowing up too! That shud be an interesting plot development!
adamp105 on 5 Nov '09
although it looks really good, im a little worried about that space bit. i dont want cod going bond style on me

Dear CVG:

Where are the media reviews for Modern Warfare 2?!

There seems to be a really tight embargo on this one!! but it's so close to launch day!!

When are we going to see reviews? Tues morning?!!?
ranaraptor on 6 Nov '09

I agree, it could be very bad if it's done wrong, n probably doesn't have any place in the game. I would still like to see it out of sheer morbid curiosity, but personally, I'm thinking it'll prob just be a cutscene.

ranaraptor
The Embargo lifts on tuesday (launch day). So yer!!! Sucks!!!
adamp105 on 6 Nov '09
If it's a similar game to COD4, I wasn't satisfied with such a short single player mode - I am generally disappointed with a 10 hour single player campaign. I feel short changed.
ranaraptor on 6 Nov '09
What does it mean when it refers back to "internet embargo"?
Fallen_Hero_666 on 6 Nov '09
Was surprised to hear Eminem in a trailer like this, but I love him and have like most of his albums so it was a pleasant surprise. Very Happy

Loving the space thing.

They are hardly going to review it on the website before those of us who subscribe to the mag see it in print. If reviews hit the site before the mag this would instantly render any subs pointless thereby losing them money.
