British TV ad. Have to say i lol'd. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RPxJvy5CfM Ruder one: (lol...) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GP-QYguAbpM
It's kinda funny, but I felt kinda patronised when I watched it, like the best way to get through was to use sexual innuendo. Maybe just me being funny about it though. Would like to know what others think.
adverts based on sexual innuendo are (unless done well) a prime example of the retards you are catering to. so judging from the ad im supposed to be "doing it" with someone who is most probably a chav. no, no im not.
we all hate the game and all, but it was actually a good ad. "Some people like doing it hardcore" hah Some people also like doing it at the hotel so that no one has home advantage, but grampa didn't say that in the ad, I wonder why
Being Canadian you'd know all about home advantage. BTW MW2 is actually a pretty good game, if you know how to play it. Most people don't...
In my experience, the problem isn't with the game (although it's by no means perfect), but more with the people who play it. I have never known a game to bring out such anger and immaturity in people, and I'm not entirely sure why that is (though I suspect getting pwned by me over and over again probably has something to do with it). It's enjoyable so long as you don't treat it as anything more than it actually is - a hyper-arcadey shooter. In BC2, the enjoyment and satisfaction comes from winning a long, hard fought game of Rush between two (hopefully) well balanced teams. In MW2, it comes from having better reflexes and reactions than other people, and winning gunfights. I couldn't really care less about winning TBH, unless it's in a FFA where it's just me. 99% of the time the rest of my team is just full of douchebags and whiny 11 year olds, and I can only carry them so far before I stop caring any more. There's just as much annoying and unbalanced s*** in BC2, but luckily I can actually choose who I play with.
Nope it's spiffingly good fun. It helps if you can take your eye off the politics and judge a product on its own merits. Pretty much this. Also it's fun to make people sperg out by toobing them repeatedly. The best fun was using the care-package glitch. Run around until people ditch their e-honour and use the glitch themselves - then break out the AA12 and show them how they should have countered it in the first place. Good times. ...
My personal complaint, which I think many will agree with, is that it's the same game as before. World at War was a bad enough clone, at least they made new guns, MW2 truly is CoD4 renamed and marketed well. Not all may agree, but I personally think CoD4 was a great game so MW2 is technically a good game as well, but that doesn't make me want to shovel $50 out at Activision to thank them for basically rereleasing CoD4... again. Also, the single player was pretty trash imo from what I've played, it might have been good a few years ago but this kind of business is getting old. "Ramirez, do everything! Oscar Mike!" while every bad guy exclusively fires at me and I'm the only one who can die and the only one capable of interacting with objects yet somehow the only one incapable of speaking. Some games, like Bad Company 2, do the same but I am tempted to give BC2 a free pass since it's Battlefield's first SP campaign and BC2 is still almost entirely MP based. Yet franchises like Call of Duty have always had a very prominent single player campaign, by the sixth game I expect them to have worked out the flaws that I mentioned above. It's just inexcusable.
lol, nice video. MW2 is easy compared to BC2, just run and gun. get good set of perks and you are pretty much unstoppable (literally, marathon + lightweight + ninja/commando). or snipe and change location, without bullet drop or bullet travel time, the sniper rifles are pretty much instagib weapon once quick-scoping is quick enough. rep++ for fantastic remark.
There is a big difference between MW1 and 2, the balance for the perks is totally different. Airstrikes and Apaches are no longer the hand of god flying about the map. Good players can counter them, even the AC10 can be brought down in seconds with a good team. The singleplayer is bitty, really. The Gulag mission is excellent though, and no one's mentioned the co-op yet. BC2 isn't the first SP BTW. AFAIK BC1 also had SP, which was reportedly dump as well. http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=e...dium+luge&meta=&aq=f&aqi=g1&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= And before this turns into an off topic debate. http://www.thestar.com/opinion/article/767108--cheap-shot-brits-have-own-problems
I agree there's little innovation, but it's still a new game. I played a lot of COD4, and as much as I loved that game, like any other game it got stale after a while. I'll go back and play it, but I still get the feeling I'm treading over old ground. I know this is the first attempt at a campaign for the Battlefield series (well, except for BC1, but I haven't played that), but I'd say it was about on par with the COD campaign - i.e. distinctly average. Having said that, it does appear to be longer, although I haven't completed it yet. As time has gone on the COD series, like almost all games, has also become a much more multiplayer-centric game, however, so I'm willing to let that slide. It's hard to be truly innovative with single player corridor shooters like COD, especially when they know people will be playing multiplayer 98% of the time, so they invest less money into it. They added a Spec Ops mode which I've put twice as much time into as the actual campaign, but the fact remain that buying a COD game for the single player these days is like buying BF2 and only playing with bots. If I had only one complaint to level at the MW2 multiplayer experience, it would be the lag. Hackers I only come across rarely and I'll just find another game. The rest of the ******** is just there to counter other ******** and stop people from getting their OP killstreaks.
I don't consider balancing to be differences, at least not differences worth a whole new game. Nerfing helicopters is an entirely patchable change, for example. I understand that to be a franchise there has to be a certain degree of similarity, otherwise they would be two independent games , but the level of real change made from MW1 to WaW to MW2 is little to none. There's almost nothing new, just more. More guns, more perks, more maps. Nothing innovative. Though, to be fair, this is a common blight amongst any franchise that goes on too long and is completely inevitable. In a way it's not MW2's fault that Act is trying to milk the series for everything it can, but in a way excuses are excuses and don't hide that it's still just a very close sequel. I'd never played and didn't know about the BC1 SP, though fighting for BC2 you've got to admit that by its second game Battlefield has a SP which is pretty equivalent to CoD's 6th game. As every Canadian should be.
okay, seriously, as mad as I was at IW for MW2, they totally scored when they hired whoever made this ad awesome
