First topic message reminder :

Where`s the best place to pre-order mw2 from that will guarantee day of launch or even before.i`ve got to order two copies of the game.

[wewon5times]

Is it just the last couple of days or is mw2 always laggy??
I have only just started playing online at a friends and the lag is awful on it, the internet is running at 8.9meg so i know it aint that and im a little dissapointed as i can hardly play a game properly is it the same all the time??

[Ivor Coff]

Anyone know what the update to the game was for yesterday?

[Kev Lar 1]

Yeah, I have just finished the game on veteren level and I was surprised at how easy it was to completed compared to veteren on the other COD games. This is the first time I have done it. Well pleased with myself. Now I've just to do the spec ops plus get all the intel.

[Tricky34]

I've also just completed the campaign on Veteran, and will agree it was definately easier than COD4. (still need to get around to doing it on WAW).

[Guest]

cant wait to get morden warfare for xmas.

add me to my friends ok

[Armed Kross]

Wow! I've just finished MW2 on veteran. It really wasn't that bad with only a couple of places where it got a little frustrating.
As others have said on here. If I can do it then there is no reason you can't.

[Leigh36295]

Finished Veteran too. Just need intel and someone to help me on Spec Ops.

I can help.. sometimes like.. tomorow

[Leigh36295]

Cool . I'll be online in evening time probably so if you see me online just send me a invite.

[Tricky34]

I've got the first intel cheev, gonna find the rest today.

Then i'm gonna rattle on with the Spec Ops, if anyone fancies some co-op. I'll be on most mornings this week, due to working lates.

[Armed Kross]

Does anyone want to team up to do the spec-ops?
Maybe on Wednesday evening or something?

[Kev Lar 1]

I will be trying to get the intel this week in the mornings as I am also on late shift plus I may try doing some spec ops

[Mavriick]

Finished it as well, i personally found it easier then cod 4 which i`ve still yet to finish,there really are a few frustrating moments that i spat my dummy out but i got through it okay.

[Mavriick]

What`s with all the teddy bears knocking round on mw2,anyone any ideas?

WOW on my friends list this guy i know has a 88 killstreak, on mp did't think thats possible !!!

[Kev Lar 1]

They may of played Ground war or something as the Team Deathmatch in that goes up to 10000 points which I think is 100 kills at 100 points a kill not sure or got it on Domination where the kills don't count towards the score because a player on my team had at least a 66 kill streak and then used his nuke.

Just finished single player on veteran and got all the single player achievements except drive by. God pit boss was a b***h. What was the hardest level for everyone?

I found the 2 min timer in contingency and the hill at the end of loose ends very hard.

[XkurosakiX]

Just 100% the campaign. Gonna finish the rest of spec ops off when i go back home for Christmas with my kid brother. i don't think there were any achievements that were particularly difficult but i can definitely see spec ops giving me some trouble.

[Guest]

I only have 3 Special Ops left to complete on veteran - Breach n Clear, Snatch n Grab and Wetwork - got to the end of wetwork last night and I shot one of the hostages . BUGGER!!!! LOL

[wewon5times]

Ill be on again tonight I need to finish the campain on veteran and rank up online.
I finished it on veteran on a friends account so need to do it on mine now.

I have played through the single player part of MW2 and had loads of fun doing it. I have also dipped my toe into the special ops missions and they seem like good fun. This lives up to all the 9/10 reviews that are everywhere for this game. However I am getting very irritated with part of the game that everyone reviewing it raves about the most.

MW 2 is supposed to be the greatest multiplayer FPS ever and it does have a shed load of online content and unlocks. Most of the games I have been in have also run pretty smoothly and everything seems balanced pretty well (apart from the thermal sight and heart rate monitor). Though I now limit my time online with this game to nights with other members of GSA due to having my arse handed to me by squawking 14 year olds every ten seconds when venturing online alone. I got bored of this very quickly. This is where the problem becomes aparent; MW 2's integration with xbox parties is shocking to say the least. Entering a game lobby in a party, starting a match, or inviting others becomes a game of luck as the game can often bar you, kick you or randomly split your party up between matches. I have joined a few of the Friday night sessions and it is becoming more and more common that 2/3 of the time is spent waiting for a match, jumping out of lobbies or games as the group has been split, or waiting for people to be invited and accept invites to join the game again. Its also very annoying that in a game where you can have quite large matches, the number of party members is limited to 9. Last nights session proved popular with GSA members but many of them could not join the party or had to leave early to make room for others. Even when joining a match it seemed that the more people within the party, the more likely it was that something would go wrong.

For me this may result in MW 2 being put to the bottom of the gaming pile as it seems that if someone wants to avoid the legions of internet smacktards and have a friendly community based game with friends then you had better make sure you have a good book to read beside you or some other means of distraction to put off the depressing feeling of mortality as you grow older very slowly waiting for MW 2 to grant a lucky break.

[KENT HAMMER]

I feel your pain mate.

GSA only matches is the only option I would ever consider on any game online though.

There are enough of us here to always find someone, even on the older games.

As for MW2, I only play single player and spec ops, but that's only because there are no achieves for the multiplayer

[Angel]

I know sop, we are thinking of a way to make gameplay better so you wouldnt have to wait half hour till you can play.. therefore teams might be split up into 5 ppl each and then there would be none of these problems, but ofcourse 5 aint same as 9 .. :/

Last night was my first experience of playing in a large group and I couldn't believe how much hassle matchmaking was.

Reminds me of how bad Gears 2 was to begin with and that took over 6 months to fix properly

And even after said 6 months they still hadn't fixed it properly... still broken now to be honest!

To be fair "matchmaking" systems are a complete and utter waste of space, much better to just make a lobby and grab as many friends as you want and then AND ONLY THEN "match-make".

Oh and this rant is the reason I wont play CoD games online... of course I would have to buy one first
