[QUOTE="j-powwnd"]the game is great but way way too short ........funny when the creators said it was the longest call of duty yet and thats what made me buy it i beat it on the hardest level before i even got comfortable with the gameplay great game but not worth 60 bucs for only a couple hours of game funny that the games now get so much hype cost so much money but are so much shorter i think im done buy new games for sixty bucks just wait a couple months and pay 15 to 25 bucs i think its time we stop make these game makers so rich and yet we get less and less every year you would think it would be the other way around hell you can get a original xbox for 50 bucs and longer games for like 8 bucs damn and thats how much i spent for this.............QuickThumbs
Less and Less? I haven't beaten the single player yet but I have been pretty amazed with the quality of this game. I already sunk close to 12 hours into the multiplayer and I can't wait to get back online. I have no problem paying $60 for a game this polished. I really don't expect an FPS to have a epic 50 hour campaign. With so many games coming out I like to be able to beat a game and then have fun shooting people up online.

Theres a score single player mode after you beat the game (kind of like halo 3) that makes the game last alot longer then you think. Game doesn't have to be long if its good. Look at Gears of War so many many awards and it was a very short game. Also look at bioshock ppl complain bc they thought it was Too Long for a fps. Theres no way you can please everyone. If MS and infinary ward support this game like halo 3 it will be a BIG hit and last as long as halo 3 will

Just a note to those who say this game has bad matchmaking:

IT DOES NOT. It can't have bad matchmaking, because it's not real matchmaking. They're not supposed to pair you up with people based on attachments, they pair you up with people who are playing, period. It might be annoying at first, but you rapidly figure out how to kill people who have better guns than you, for instance, by being mildly stealthy. Also, it's a game of skill, there are people who have all the attachments are suck at using them, so there you go.

pyrobrand

Whats the point of being awarded better weapons, equipment, etc if all you play with online are others the same level with the same weapon upgrades? It would be useless. IW got it right with matching lvl 20's with level 1-10's

[QUOTE="SemiMaster"][QUOTE="QuickThumbs"][QUOTE="SemiMaster"]

No one has been able to answer me yet, so I figure I'd try here. Is the PS3 and 360 version cross compatible for online play? I.E. will PSN and Xbox Live members be able to play an integrated game? In theory the game should play the exact same on both consoles right?

Or was this nix'd right off the bat?

DarkRider23

I don't expect we will ever see this feature. It would be nice but never gonna happen! Now PC and 360 play was in Shadowrun and I imagine more games will allow that.

Funny, fundamentally I don't see an advantage of the 360 over the PS3 and vice versa, this just sounds like lazy developers here. They really need to make cross system play a staple in multiplats.

Blame Microsoft and Sony for that. It's not like the developers have a choice.

sounds like an amazing thing ... but .... WOW made it happen with Mac & Windows??!!!

MP questions - just wondering if someone can tell me:

1) What games are ranked and what games are not ranked / If a friend comes over to my place and wants to play online and I don't want them ruining my ranking, what mode should they play?

2) If you use the create a match option, is this ranked or unranked (or does it depend on if you invite friends)?

3) Is there anyway to select what map you want to play on in a ranked match (e.g. maybe by hosting a game, but then is it ranked?)

4) Is there anyway to search a list of games and pick which one you want to join?

Thanks for any info.

I think any game you play is a ranked game. However, there is no way to ruin your rank since you can only gain EXP. You will never drop in rank for losing. In fact you still get a end round bonus even when your team loses.

Does this game run at or near 60 FPS on the 360? If so, then that's one of the key elements in me wanting this game so badly.

They're all ranked. However, it's a ranking system different from the true skills one used in the past. Even if your friend does bad on your profile, he can't lose any points for it, only gain them. You can't select the map, however, in the lobby if at least 6 people vote against that map, it will choose a new one. That's a pretty cool new feature. And there's no way to search for a list of games availabe, it will automatically put you into a lobby. You can choose what type of multiplayer game you want to play though.

Im another one having trouble getting online, it searches for ages and nothing happens. i have to turn it off and on again and I might get one match before it louses up again. Its like halo 3 all over again, why cant these high profile games make sure they launch with enough xbl capacity (or whatever it is) when they know every 360 owner and their dog is gonna be trying to get online?!?!?

Does this game have 4 player off-line split screen (i.e. so that four people on the same xbox in the same room can play 4 player split screen)?

this game is f'ing great. very immersive.. although the beginning was over too fast and too easy, around the tv station level it really starts getting immersive. i didn't start the game on veteran though... the middle option is the best i think.

I got it the day it came out and I got it at Circuit City, so they gave me Call Of Duty 3 with it free and a poster. This game is the best of them all atm. Have any of you experienced any like freezing from playing it a lot and sometimes in multiplayer it just say's setting up game the whole time..?

This game is the best war game I have ever played.Sometimes,I think,''Hey man!This is not a game.İmpssible,it is like cinema film''.I completed the singleplayer,but I can't play multiplayer.My PC is very bad,so I play it with my X360, but I lived in Turkey.Because of that I can't use XBOX LIVE! :( But COD 4 is game of the year.
