    Hardened Edition has been preordered from Blockbuster, £10 less than everywhere else, by handing in 9 games that I will never play again and therefore getting it for free. Blockbuster is just a damn great store sometimes.

    I thought about that and I'm sure I will too. How many jackasses do you think are going to be running Attach Chopper + Pave Low + AC130 killstreak loadouts and never getting to use any of them in a round because they aren't good enough?

    I'm fine with UAV/JDAM/Airstrike myself.

    Is the killstreak customization changeable by loadout? Or is a set thing that all your classes share. I tend to get very high kill streaks with my RPD, but typically never get anything higher than UAV as a sniper.

    Yeah, UAV is just too useful to go without. That and I'm guessing every asshole on live is gonna be sporting bling, meaning Cold Blooded (UAV Jam 2.0) is gonna be even less popular than it is in MW.

    It's too bad the killstreaks are universal tho. I hope you can at least change them while in a match.

    I think I'll go with a UAV, Airdrop/Pave Low and Attack Helicopter setup. I want to stay alive and not spend time controlling the AC-130 or JDAM when I could be shooting people in the face, especially with how vulnerable those two will leave you.

    I think cold blooded only protects you from helicopters and the thermal scopes. UAVs can be shot down now too, so if you're on a decent team, UAV jammer shouldn't be a issue I think.

    Just stop doing the damn things already, they always suck.
    All Ghillied Up was a stealth mission and One Shot, One Kill was an escort mission. You didn't like those? Death from Above and Shock and Awe were turret sections. How much of the single player did you actually enjoy?

    Looking back, not much at all.

    Single-player in Call of Duty is usually cinematic but rarely fun from a gameplay perspective. They do things with single-player that would be regressive in Quake 2.

    pretty sure i loved cod4 sp

    first game i played where the turrists would only take a few bullets to kill, which was nice

    one hell of a rollercoaster ride, pity about the corridor shoot-out at the end

    I'd be concerned except all the footage we've seen so far has been 360. And it looks fucking gorgeous. Hell, I might move my 360 into my den so I can play it on my 23" HD monitor.

    Well actually...

    You can pre-preorder the PC version at Wal-Mart for $49.82 + a $10 gift card ($10 cheaper then the console pre-orders)

    So $40 for MW2 and spend that extra dough on chips and soda.

    The wait sure sucks though.

    I'm pretty sure that the weapon in COD4 you're talking about was the Javelin, an anti-tank weapon with an advance targeting package (AT-4 is point and shoot, no homing), and the anti-aircraft weapon in MW2 is a Stinger. IIRC, there were no stingers in 4, just the RPG and AT-4.

    And somewhat a weak post for my first post, but I've been lurking for a long while, and will most likely continue to lurk, but wanted to help out on the weapon confusion.

    Oh yeah, MW2 is gonna rock - paid off my pre-order the other day. Still thinking about upgrading to that ridiculous package with NVGs, just for the hell of it.

    "Soap, grab another Stinger and fire again!"

    *Press F to pick up FIM-92 Stinger*


    The "Javelin" is below (video title is incorrect)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sdEA9AWZPE

    The Javelin as it's depicted in CoD4 isn't accurate either where after launch it shoots off 90 degree into the air like a cruise missile (this was among one of the gripes made by IW's military adviser, Hank Keirsey in this interview at 3:05). I can fully understand the liberties taken with regards to gameplay on the depiction of the Javelin but having the AT-4 doing something completely inaccurate is just lazy considering they've already had a model in place in CoD4.
