COD 6 in sainsbury's (Computer Game)

[ratty]

Finally? It only came out yesterday! :p

[Sandperson]

Ratty, Ratty, Ratty. You and I both know that in the world of computer games a game that has been out for a day and half is old news already. I know two people who have finished it already!

[EDKiwi]

I was in Sainsburys at 4:30pm, all sold out, didn't realise they were selling it so cheap....madness I tells ya, madness.

[Mscrawthew]

I called them at 6.45pm this evening and they said they had about 20 copies left, Straight to Sainsburys and back with a copy by 7pm this evening :)) They must have had a delivery at some point today?

[tog_in_sox]

Just read up on what is or rather isn't featured in this latest evolution and will not be purchasing a copy until the price for the PC version drops significantly. Think I'll be taking a look at Dragon Age instead and hopefully Mass Effect 2 in the New Year.

Played a bit last night. The Gameplay is brilliant on xbox. Stuck on a roof somewhere in the usa, so went to bed.

Logging on last night was like seeing a who's who of forumites all playing the same thing

[mockney piers]

Very cryptic post sox, whats the requisite feature that's missing, I'm curious.

Have finished main campaign andstill have no idea whatsoever what it was all about.

Ratty, use your claymores by the ladders and entry hatches so you can concentrate on the approaching forces.

[ratty]

Nice tip MP. Hoping to get some fire time tonight!

I read the campaign story on wikipedia so I sort of understadn it. HAd a bit of online last night too and it really rocked. Cannot wait to learn the maps!

Sean - I noticed that too - virtually all my friends were on it!

[Sandperson]

Had to load a couple of updates and then was asked if I wanted to skip a scene which I might find disturbing. I know there's one part which has had complaints but I have no idea what it is and I am looking forward to finding out. (Please don't tell me!). What I wanted to know was is the option a new thing added after release or was it there from release?

[SeanMacGabhann]

I'm sticking with Borderlands and you guys are just mainstream hos! ;-)

[ratty]

Think it may have been added, hence the update, but not sure.

Anyone that can separate reality from computer game should not have a problem with the controversial scene! I quite enjoyed it!

[Sandperson]

I'm exceited about it already, but depending where it is I might not reach it for a while as my time seems to be a bit short for gaming!

[ratty]

third campaign scenario so very early on - it's not that great~!

[tog_in_sox]

Hi MP, it's the 9v9 limitation, no private servers, no modding. Have they nerfed the ability for clans to meet up and arrange events?

Owing to the crapiness of my connection and reflexes I never had much joy with competitive multiplayer, always got fragged repeatedly which wasn't fun. If you can't arrange matches between players of a similar ability then it all gets very tiresome.

[EDKiwi]

Managed to get myself a copy from Sainsburys yesterday afternoon, none on the shelves but I asked and they had a stash behind the counter, still can't believe it's only 26 quid but I'm a happy chappy. Now I just need to find some time to play it....

[mockney piers]

All fair points sox. I actually dint really have a problem with the numbers limitations as the levels so well designed and the game types so nicely balanced that actually it doesn't make much of a difference to me.

Plus the dying thing was a put off when I embarked on COD multiplayer in WaW, then I realised that noone else really cares and I just ploughed through the dying alot stage until I started dying less then got to the point where I was holding my own.

I find it's less about reaction and much more about knowing the level inside out and anticipaing where people will be.

The touches like the uav's air support, artillery (now predator drones) and now you get bonuses if you're dying alot to help those finding heir feet.

But it is much less tactical than say the battlefield games. As I said, give ARMA 2 a go (I'm guessing you're talking PC, judging by talk of modding). It's endlessly customizable, huge and you can define your own scenarios to the nth degree.

[tog_in_sox]

Cheers MP. Will give ARMA 2 a try. Might give COD6 a go when I can find a PC version for a knockdown price.

[EDKiwi]

I definitely prefer the PC for these types of games, Battlefield, Flashpoint, etc, and personally nothing beats a mouse/keyboard combo, and I fell that generally the console versions are a cut down edition of the PC versions but lack of a decent gaming rig or the space to set it up means I'll just have to stick to the Xbox for now, which is not a bad second.

I do miss the multiplayer flexibility though, it is nice to brows servers and stick to ones with the same group of people and/or avoid servers full of noddys.

Got an email from Amazon saying they are refunding me ?11 due to pre order price promise I guess because Sainsburys selling it so cheap. Amazon are great at what they do, as it did peeve me a bit when I paid ?38 and could have got it for ?26. That said my local Sainsburys in Chislehurst had sold out and still don't have any.

[Atila Reincarnate]

My son got it for ?26 last week

[EDKiwi]

Have to say I'm glad I only paid 26 quid, the campaign mission is rather short isn't it?

[mockney piers]

It's all in the multiplayer (lvl 16 now).

Let me know when you fancy spec ops. I want fun with helicopters.
