i cannot believe alot of people are saying its awfull its honestly the best call of duty game ive ever played!

my only complaints are things that youd expect with a brand new game...

game freezes alot when a game first starts, emblem editor etc take ages to load and my nuketown cod isnt working...yet. anyone else have that code problem yet?

so far its second to COD4 as being the most fun without being infuriating to play, I'm sure that'll change once the Ghost brigade start showing up for now I'm enjoying this far,far more than I expected. High five for Treyarch.

KERSPLAT!

Am I imagining things or did BLOPs1 have a game mode with no Ghost? Is it in 2?

It did ya....no ghost or 2nd chance.

greenman09

Ghost is there is it not. Its a high level perk. At least I thought I saw it.

KERSPLAT!

I mean is the game mode from BLOPs1 that didn't allow ghost/2nd chance in BLOPs2?

Also, when you prestige do you lose your perks or is only a matter of time before the place is riddled with ghost?

klose

What's up with the knife? Can't kill anyone with it! Guess its a good thing as I've hardly been knifed so far..

the gamemode is not in this........I don't think it is anyway. Don't know if you lose your perks.

Give it a few weeks after most people have prestiged and they'll all unlock ghost with their prestige token. Then everybody will be giving out about it like BO1.

On a side note, I'm only realising now how much I depended on sound whoring in MW3. Im not doing as good in FFA and SND because I cant hear a thing. I'm not getting sound whored either so its not too bad.

krudler

holy crap I forgot about gun game and the like, woohoo didnt realise they were in it

PizzamanIRL

Anyone having trouble getting a game of solo zombies?

It just says 'creating lobby' and doesn't change at all.

Ye happening aswell, I can't sign into the servers!!

GEasy

I hope it takes more bullets to put someone down like blops 1. I was much more consistent in that!

opinionated3

Servers down on ps3 at the moment. Anyone else getting this message when trying to log on?

I was playing up until around 3 and they just crapped out on me.

GTA 5 trailer is in 8 minutes anyway so we can watch that while we wait.

spider_pig

Down for me too >:(

bloody gamestop, 20 quid difference is nuts. I got mine on a voucher but still thats 20 quid that could have went towards something else if their pricing was fairer.

Whats the 'install texture pack to hdd' option? Will it improve graphics? I've never seen it on a PS3 game before.

Nope, just less work on the blu-ray drive and slightly faster load times.
I think it was in BF3 too, that was the first game I saw it on.

What supervalue?

Is ps3 server down cant join a game

Been spending a lot of time with multiplayer and loving it so far. The Heavy Gunner class default primary weapon is brilliant. Have topped a few games already and gettin 15-20+ kills in each with it Enjoying the Raid, Hijacked and Slums maps.

Started single player today and it's very very impressive, 3d is the best I've seen on any game yet. Still undecided about the strikeforce missions though, they seem to be more for a filler than actual story, but their outcome does affect the storyline.

Slums is a good map, reminds me of a cross between favela and havana. some juicy sightlines on it, which is something i thought blops1 had a huge lack of.

What is going on with these servers at all?

Got mine in the Corbally one in Limerick.

FlyingIrishMan

Are the servers still down for anybody else? Some of my friends are able to play, and the COD website says they are up, yet every time I search for a game it tells me its unable to and to try again.

I even gave up and tried playing some solo zombies, 5 rounds in it disconnected me from the servers and ended my game.

Mickeroo

Got my amazon delivery today, shipped on monday, not bad going at all. 2 minutes after the postman dropped it off the elelectricity went off, I **** you not! If I wasn't headin off for a surf I might have cried!

Redzer7

Most of my mates are playing online but it won't let me, it's a fúcking joke tbh, not impressed.

If you have another account that'll probably work, my main account won't work though.

Are ye all on xbox 360? Been playing for the last hour with no hassles.

Nope, PS3.

donmeister

Same as, still cant get on since 3pm, changed search prefs, restarted router, turned PS3 on and off, nothing worked...

irishsid

Still down here too.
Ps3
My uncle is playing away though, lives just up the road

Notorioux

PS3 here can't connect since 3, but my brother is playing no problem on his PS3. -_- This is bollocks!

krudler

Having no issues with ps3, one host migration timeout but 3-4 bars every game

The user review score on metacritic is very low for this game at 4.2 out of 10. The majority are saying its just a repetitive game from the franchise. These were the same reviews of MW3 which i bought and i thought it was basically a very expensive map update. Not sure whether to get it now or not. What do people think of it so far?

donmeister

Ok so I got online by using my other PSN account, what gives? The plot thickens......must have something to do with previous game data or the tags maybe as I've never played COD on the account that is working. Strange one.

GEasy

Still loads in Tesco Galway. With nuketown too.

Better off renting it. This reminds me more of MW than anything else.

ray2012

how do ye all find BO2 compared to the other COD games? Thinking of getting it but I've a feeling it's gonna be so similar to MW2?

(Edit: With zombies added of course)

irishsid

I've had all the call of dutys, and so far this seems the most balanced and fun. Nothing seems over powered, if you're being shot you seem to have a chance to get away before you're dead (especially if they're using an smg from range which most are), and for me anyway the lag seems non existent.
Apart from not being able to get online for the past few hours then the past two days are the best COD experience I've had.

GEasy

played 2 or 3 games tonight and then couldn't connect to the blops server after that. I like it alot so far, you can turn on people and you aren't down in 2-3 bullets .

FlawedGenius

Only 100 for a kill in search and destroy??
