have you noticed that the graphics are just horrid as well? I wonder if it reduced it cause of this issue or it just looks crappy.

^you think?
my settings are on too low for me to really notice!
i love the mw2 graphics though, they arent ground breaking but they are really decent. they should've stuck with the same engine!

I am scared to pick this up.
- Me too... I love BF:BC2, so I might try MOH instead...elahon
- MOH was good but its appeal doesnt lastFallowDeer
- MoH could have been huge. They need to expand the MP some. More maps for sure. The single player looked like shit though.404NotFound

Split "zombie" mode beats the whole game entirely. Way worth it for just that facet.

"Horrid?" The graphics are "horrid?" Really?
- no. just not as good and clean as MW1+2.ArmandoEstrada
- Just curious, what kind of TV and connection?mg33
- I've got a 1080p 40" Samsung, connect with HDMI. Think things look great.mg33
- i have the exact same setup. i don't think it's horrid. just...chunkyTheMagicSheep
- 50 inch plasma HDMI Etc....ArmandoEstrada
- i have a 200" pixel mapping laser projection screen, made from the bones of ligers. and it looks good :DHombre_Lobo_2
- It's not the TV. It just doesn't feel right. Like an unfinished Pixar film.404NotFound

I thought the game looked pretty good - not quite sure what you guys were expecting?
On the multiplayer side of things, I just can't seem to get the consistency of good K/D ratio. Some games I can be as good as 6-7.0 and other times as low as 0.5
I think it definitely depends on who your playing against. Some kids obviously have too much time to learn the maps already, and those of us still learning get hammered every time.

- a lot of people run out like baby buffalo and are easy pickings. I stick to the walls and make sure I always have cover. Game is really well balanced i think in regards to weapons.BozMan

Okay.. my 2 cents (for those who care to read)
I LOVE IT..
I have finished the singleplayer.. about 6-7 hours of crazy shit..
SINGLEPLAYER COMMENTS:
The story is MUCH better than MW2.. This is the first time I have felt like I have just watched some spy, deep conspiracy movie after finishing the game.. It is very obvious they hired a professional to write a script but they did take in a lot of movie ideas we have seen.
From the start it was a bit of blurry as what the story was about but as the events happen and you learn more it is very clear what is going on... OR IS IT?! :) Yeah.. the game's story has a twist in the end and I loved it.. and after you finish and watch credits, you will still be playing, but something that's absolutely hilarious :)
I think the 2 major big issues with single player were:
1. There are moments in the game where you really have no idea where to shoot because there's so much explosions and insanity going on that it becomes counter productive for our experience and becomes pretty tedious.. It's like MIchael Bay on steroids.. you will see what I'm talking about.. Thankfully it's not always like that.. it is somewhat at the beginning, a few missions and it kind of tones down a bit as you go along.2. They have drawn toooo many references for the story from the movies.. Even though I liked the story, I did feel it was a bit predictable.. but then again, the way the game starts you obviously know Mason knows something that he's not even aware of.
3. The game is difficult.. I started off as Veteran as I always did with COD games and I got my ass kicked.. fuck I died a ton of times playing on NORMAL (not even HARDENED). It was NORMAL difficulty and I still got whooped in some places. I guess you can't diss the game for that because VETERAN should be almost impossible and I guess they upped the stakes but I think they overdid it a bit there.
MULTIPLAYER COMMENTS:
WOW.. Treyarch did an unbelievable job.. I was afraid I would look at this game as just another MW2 ... BUT I'm NOT!! This game tops MW2 in every imaginable way in multiplayer.. the excitement from buying shit as opposed to "just getting them as you go along" is huge.. the money adds such a tremendous level of excitement into the game.
The game in multiplayer feels so well balanced now. It's actually more about skill than anything else.
Perks are well done and they don't overpower you as much but give you that individual tactical feel you need to own.
I got my ass whooped today 10 times by a guy who was just using awesome tactic. He used a spy camera to monitor one corner of the map and as soon as I went to get him he knew where I was exactly and comes from the back and knifes me. It was hilarious but very tactical.
I FUCKING LOVE decoy grenade.. OMG.. that's fucking fantastic.. throw a granade and it makes sounds of guns and shows up on radar so enemy thinks it's a hostile player.. it saved my butt so many times it's not even funny. You throw it and they start running after it like crazy..and I just POW POW them and that's it.
Ballistic knife is insanely funny.. EVERY FUCKING TIME you kill someone with that shit it will make you jump from joy.. it's HARD but omg is it rewarding.
CONTRACTS are super addition too.. They basically give you $$$ for completing certain things within a time period while you play online.. So for example you can get 1750 bucks by calling in a chopper gunner in a multiplayer round. If you don't do it.. the contract expires and you lost your purchase fee (25 bucks).
MAPS are beautifully designed.. they give you so many pathways for flanking you just can't camp in this game.. This raises an unbelievable gameplay mechanic in multiplayer as everyone has to move.
I especially like domination where they actually integrate shit happening in the map with your objectives.. so for example, on a map where the missile is about to launch (can't remember the name).. if you play domination, you can take middle point from the top, but every once in a while the metal doors will close as the missile launch happens so the only way to get to that point is through the levels under ground.. It really gives an interesting aspect to it.
So many other things in this game that put a smile on my face.. I think they could have done the sound a bit better on the guns (I got spoiled by Medal of Honor unbelievable and fantastic audio), but overall this game is so worth every penny.
As I said, I was afraid this will be another MW2 as I got really sick and tired of it.. but this game rocks all kinds of ways.
As someone said online on Xbox as we were playing.. this is the game MW2 should have been.

^ I agree on this. I seem to get a massive range as well. Could swear the majority of games I'm on a positive ratio though (1.5>2.0 area). yet my overall is only 1.05.
I think it really depends on if your teams winning (especially on tdm).

The money part pisses me off to be honest. I'm happy to have to wait to unlock things, but why should I have to buy something twice just because I want to use it in two custom classes? Luckily things aren't overpriced, but even still... you buy it once you should own it regardless of where you want to use it...

Oh yeah, the the servers are lagging so bad at the moment it's almost unplayable. Last night online was a joke...
It happened with WaW and MW2 but surely they can predict how busy it's going to be.
Treyarch employee 1: "Biggest release of the year guys..."
Treyarch employee 2: "Fuck it, just put the slowest server on..."Brilliant.

so far i love the game. i played a bit of campaign and the story and graphics are great.
multiplayer is going to take me some time to get used to. everything just feels so... different. the maps are ginormous and the perks are totally different. buying things... er, yeah. great if you're good and get lots of points, shitty as fuk if you suck all and get 150 per match. *cough*
nuke town is an insane map. rodzilla and i played it 4 or 5x in a row because jackasses kept voting to stay and just lob grenades across the map at each other.

Anyone know the best way to upload vids from your xbox to say your computer. I know with a PC you can link your xbox with each other but I don't use primitive technology such as a PC anymore. Also I know you can reg with callofduty.com but they only allow you to upload 30 sec clips from what i understand. Any help would be greatly appreciated and any PC owners i might have offend. My bad.

After a couple of nights of multiplayer and desperately trying to level up, I think the name of the game is saving your cash/points to get the good guns that you really want instead of just unlocking the first ones that become available. Am I correct on that? Do you need to buy and use certain guns to open the next guns, or can you skip certain unlocked guns altogether and just save the points for guns that are further down the list?
