    God dammit I hate Highrise so much. The past half dozen matches STRAIGHT I've gotten into have been Highrise. And I always join right when it launches so I can't back out. I fucking HATE this map. I can't get any kills on it for some reason.

    the point is they won't change it unless it is completely necessary

    and by completely necessary, i mean "it affects infinity ward a shitload" which is going to be hard to do given that they have shown that they don't care too much about the PC as a platform
    Well, thanks for setting me straight with your condescending bullshitting.

    I just wish some of these guns came with more ammo out the gate in MP. The SCAR only has 40 bullets, really? I need to unlock a means to have a larger capacity and fast.

    When I use SCAR, I run with Scavenger. Makes it bearable.

    You really have to be delusionally optimistic to think there is they would patch in dedicated server. OTOH, I think a fan made patch/workaround for dedicated servers will happen.

    I have mixed feelings on this game. I never really played the first one except at a friends house.

    Playing on the 360, I think I'd it a lot more if the party system wasn't so jacked up. I'm an achievement whore too, sad that there aren't more MP achievements.

    Yeah I don't think the part of the game that is least open to modding will be changed by any fan, especially when the whole game isn't mod-friendly. If Infinity Ward doesn't want it to happen, then no one else will make it happen. And if they do want it to happen, they'll probably be the ones doing it. Especially considering it could be seen as a way of bypassing authentication.

    But I'll take anything.

    A warning siren plays, a dude shouts TACTICAL NUKE INCOMING and then somewhere outside the map borders a bright explosions happens and a shockwave sweeps across the map, you die and the round ends.

    I am pretty sure that you have to buy used in order to return a game and get your money back. I think if you buy it new, you can only return it for a copy of the same game if your copy was defective.

    I'd say it's unlikely enough to the point of being impossible. Servers just aren't going to happen. That's the layout, don't buy the game expecting "it'll happen down the line", either get it accepting what it is now, or don't get it at all.

    These spoilers are basically for the end of the game, so be warned
    Why did Shepard kill Roach and Ghost? Did I miss something? He obviously wasn't working with Makarov.
    He HIRED Makarov. That's the whole thing. Shepherd arranged it so the Russians would attack the US. He wanted to start a war to "avenge" the soldiers under his command who died during the nuke in MW1. And he is doing that by starting a war between the US and Russia.
    Ahhh, ok. I knew it had to do with the nuke, but wasn't quite sure how it all played out.

    From what I've heard so far, I'm inclined to agree. It all sounds like the typical overly dramatic military-esque score. I don't doubt that Zimmer is laughing all the way to the bank on this one, I bet he wrote his fee on a piece of paper and they paid every penny.

    Is it just me or are you guys getting stuck on other players as well? I thought CoD4 kinda let you pass through your own team just a bit. Kinda like TF2. Keeps you from getting stuck between a player who isn't moving and level geometry.

    I have constant issues with people getting either in front or behind me and getting me killed because they won't move and I don't remember that being a problem in CoD4.

    Of course, the imminent switch to hardcore will solve that problem with a knife to anyone dumb enough to not recognize that me furiously backtracking and cursing means TROUBLE AHEAD.

    Ahhh, ok. I knew it had to do with the nuke, but wasn't quite sure how it all played out.

    Slight correction there:
    He didn't do it for revenge, as he obviously doesn't give two shits about his men, evidenced by the final level when he brings the hammer down on them, not to mention murders them in order to achieve his goals.

    What he did do it for is the fact that all of his men died, and nobody gave a fuck. So in order to wake people out of apathy, he orchestrated a world war in order to get everyone to be a "patriot" and "enlist" and be "proactive".

    It gives his character some modicum of depth as that is a real problem that we, as a global society, face today.
