Thread: Modern Warfare 2 (Call of Duty 6) coming soon

For me at least, I prefer 4 and 6 as single player games, and 5 for online multiplayer. Don't really like the online playability of 4 and 6 for some reason. Guess it's the different developers between 4/6 and 5.

And if you're online playing 5, I'm "brennobm".

Maybe all of us here should have [ALRO] as our clan tags!!!

Just finished the main campaign on normal was very enjoyable and has a decent story too. Now to upgrade my computer so I can play through on expert and extreme detail without hanging every 30 seconds..

oh yeah.. it's not CoD 6.. yes its the 6th game... but its not called Cod6 neither is World at War CoD 5..

Hey guys,, just wondering if you can offer some help for a mate of mine,,

He bought this new game to use on his laptop, "Ghost Recon, Advanced Warfighter" 2.
Now the problem he has also bought a joystick controller with it, (handheld thing) but cant get it to work on the game. The joystick has been calibrated and works, but the game wont let him swap from keypad to joystick. He's been into options etc, but theres nothing there to effect the change over.

Any help greatly appriciated,,,

Hey Chops,

It doesn't look like the joystick can be used for this game. See HERE.

I'm no PC guru though, so someone may have a different answer.

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 blasted past $US300 million ($325 million) in sales on its opening day, blowing away even Hollywood films to become the highest-grossing entertainment launch ever.
MW2 sold 4.7 million copies and racked up $US310 million in sales in the United States and Britain alone when the eagerly-anticipated title from Infinity Ward Studio made its worldwide debut on Tuesday (local time).
The videogame even bested Batman film The Dark Knight, which holds the record for the top opening weekend ever by taking in $US158.4 million in July 2008.
"The Call of Duty franchise has become a cultural phenomenon showing the power of videogames as an entertainment medium," said publisher Activision's chief executive Mike Griffith.
MW2 is the sixth title in the Call Of Duty franchise, which has won a devoted following since the first version was released in 2003.
Reviewers have praised MW2 for its game play options and vivid graphics.
Players can fight alone or one another, whether they are using the same console or in separate locations and connected via the internet.
"Fire it up on a new LCD or plasma HDTV and it's all but guaranteed to make the neighbours' jaws drop," said Scott Steinberg of videogame and gadget website Digital Trends.
"It's designed to be as much of a breathlessly cinematic experience as simple run-n-gun outing," he added.
In Australia, the game is rated for people aged 15 or older and it has stirred a bit of controversy for depicting realistically brutal terrorist encounters.
Players join a global military task force taking on ultranationalist Russian terrorists in order to save the world. Settings include Russia, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, and Brazil.

Yeh was always going to break the record books
but there's still been crowds of people cancelling pre-orders and not buying the PC version.

i play my games on my ps3 way way better

why is that?

consoles are good coz you get to play on a much bigger screen (compared to ya average 19-24" PC screen) and they're cheaper to purchase initially. I.e. PS3 for $500~ that'll play MW2. to get a new PC to play MW2 nicely, probably starting around $1000 for a basic setup.

However, there's one advantage of PC's that will always outweigh all console advantages...
