Since this is the most anticipated game since GTA4 and tipped break all sales records, I think it deserves it's own thread.

* Blockbuster – £44.99 (or £19.99 when a 'selected game' traded in)

Are these games generally better on console than PC?
Depending on what computer you have. I have a Dell XPS and bought COD 4 when it came out and it blew me away with the quality. If you have a decent computer with a good quality 5:1 sound card then I would go with the PC version
as hereiam said, but i would prefer to play it on my 42" screen without surround sound blasting ;D
i see Makro have it pretty cheap on lauch day only. (i think)
The boyos on Hot UK Deals are going mad about it.
Formats: Xbox 360, PS3, PC
Developer: Infinity Ward
Publisher: Activision
Released: 11 November 2009
Score: 10/10
So here it is at last; the biggest game of 2009. The sequel to one of the most successful first person shooter (FPS) titles of all time. The most anticipated video game release of the year. The title which looks set to break international sales records in spite of the fact that its publisher has decided to charge £10 more than the standard price for a new release. The game that may yet reanimate the recently (and hopefully still) laid-to-rest debate on video game violence. The first video game of this year to receive its own premiere in Leicester Square. While it arrives creaking under the weight of its own hype, the press accolades and advertising campaign that herald its arrival make Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 sound like the entertainment revelation the whole world has been waiting for; it swaggers into retail outlets with all the confidence of a rock star taking the stage in front of its most committed fans. But can it possibly hope to live up to the ludicrous expectations heaped upon it?
In a word, yes, and however irksome the submit-or-die nature of the publicity swirling around its release may be, Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 really is one of the best video games released all year. Naysayers may point out at this stage that 2009 hasn't exactly been a banner year for the gaming industry. But consider the obstacles Modern Warfare 2 has to conquer; not only does it have to satisfy the demands of one of largest and the most fanatical fan bases in gaming, it has to go one better than Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, a game that is still selling very respectably a year and a half on from its release (largely thanks to its incredible multiplayer mode). It's a testament to abilities of Infinity Ward's talented pool of developers that Modern Warfare 2 doesn't just surpass the quality of its predecessor, it flies past it like a ski-jumper.
This is largely due to the fact that Infinity Ward has managed to craft a game which perfectly balances the inclusion of some fantastic new features with the maintenance of everything that worked in the first Modern Warfare instalment (COD4) in terms of its core gameplay experience. The control system is smooth and intuitively mapped to the controllers. The visuals have been given a polish and the frame rate is excellent. The sound effects remain largely unchanged from COD4, but this is by no means a bad thing when one considers how integral to the in-game experience they are. The weapons feel weighty and give a satisfying kick depending on their size. Overall, the experience of playing Modern Warfare 2 is very similar to COD4; Infinity Ward hurl everything at the player including the kitchen sink and the result is a white-knuckled, visceral shooter which hits the player at gut-level throughout its entire duration. The sense of a world that exists outside the game is obliterated by the firefights onscreen. The player is both thrilled and disorientated by the constant pace of the action which comes so thick and fast that the player really does feel that death (or at least game over) could come at second. It's in this way that Modern Warfare 2, more than any other shooter in the market, both challenges the player's reflexes and accuracy while at the same time engaging their primal need for survival. It all adds up to some of the best shooter action money can buy.
Modern Warfare 2 contains three main modes: campaign, multiplayer and special ops. The first two are fairly self-explanatory, while the third is a new feature. Modern Warfare 2's campaign kicks off with a couple of brief tutorials to familiarise players with the controls. It then plunges them headlong into the game's story, which, without giving too many plot details away, takes the ingredients from COD4's campaign (overlapping narratives and missions being undertaken by US armed forces and the British SAS), adds more twists and turns than a spaghetti junction and then ramps up the testosterone to unimaginable levels. It should pointed out at this stage that, when considered from a reasonable, real-world perspective, the story of Modern Warfare 2 is utterly ridiculous and its plot has more holes in it than a hunk of swiss cheese. But then, the game's story exists merely as an excuse to hang action set pieces on, and in this regard it's an unqualified success, mainly because Infinity Ward's level design is peerless
Aside from the aforementioned excellent gameplay, the developers pack the missions with epic set pieces, breakneck tension, scenes which garner reactions of shock and awe and more than a few moments which will that prompt audible gasps from anyone watching or playing the game. There simply isn't a mission that goes by which doesn't succeed in nailing the player's jaw to the floor. There are, it has to be said, more than a few of scenes of disturbing violence which have the power to unsettle players – the footage that has already been leaked is probably the most obvious (but not the last) example of this. But these scenes are meant to have this effect within the context of the plot. Despite the silly extremes of certain plot developments, there is a serious undercurrent to the campaign's story which not only takes a hard unblinking look at the destabilising effects of armed conflict but also the fact that some of the people who operate within that environment exhibit a fish-eyed pragmatism which belies their brutal nature. The extremes to which some of the characters – even those with less questionable motives – go in order to accomplish their goals would mark them out as sociopaths in any other context. Modern Warfare 2 may toss a large chunk of reality into the rubbish skip in terms of its story, but it nails the motives of its protagonists to the wall.
Depending on their accuracy, players will probably finish off the campaign in around six to eight hours, and although they'll probably play it through more than once, the game's online multiplayer mode is where its true longevity lies. Once again, Infinity Ward have kept the nuts and bolts of their multiplayer intact, while adding in some new features that are sure to delight the faithful. The RPG/perk reward system remains the same and with players advancing through the ranks depending on their abilities and gaining experience points with each battle. There are new Killstreak rewards which unlock weapons drops and air strikes – which are always handy in a firefight – and players also have the option of customising their Killstreaks, which allows them to unlock more advantages and battle assets. This customisation, however, remains balanced; players aren't able to rain down drone attacks after just a couple of kills. There's also the new Deathstreak feature which helps out the less accurate players (like me) with 'rewards' such as the ability to steel your killer's military class and weapons.
Aside from the new weapons and equipment, players have far more options when it comes to customising how they approach the multiplayer. There are the preloaded classes such as Ranger and Overwatch, as well as some unlockable classes such as Riot Control. Players can also unlock the option to create their own classes, which in itself opens up a plethora of new ways to enjoy this mode – fancy tackling foes with just a riot shield and a rocket launcher? Help yourself. Another handy addition to online multiplayer, is in-game host migration. If a match host (usually on the losing side) decides to leave the game, the mode won't reset to the main lobby as in COD4, but will instead select a new host from the remaining players and the game continues. Up to 18 players (9 vs 9) can take part at any time in various match types which include Free-For-All, Search & Destroy, Domination, Team Deathmatch and new Demolition and Capture The Flag. As far as DLC is concerned, Infinity Ward have remained tight-lipped, although Microsoft announced earlier this year at E3 that two of Modern Warfare 2's map expansion packs would be made available to Xbox 360 owners first.
The game's new mode is Special Ops which can be played solo or in co-op, both local and online. It's unlocked by completing the campaign mode, and is essentially a series of mini-missions; their design is similar to the epilogue mission in COD4's campaign mode, "Mile High Club". They're divided into four groups – Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta – and are based on sections within the campaign's levels. They include scenarios such as defending a raised platform in a snow-covered shipyard, racing snowmobiles across tundra and taking out guerrillas in a favela in Rio de Janeiro while avoiding civilian casualties. A couple of fan-favourites from COD4 are also included, such as the chilling Death From Above mission in AC-130 Spectre Gunship. Special Ops range from one to three stars in their level of difficulty, and players can use the stars they earn to unlock more challenges. There are 23 missions in all, and a lot of them are highly addictive; the temptation to better one's time in the snowmobile race is particularly compelling.
All told, Modern Warfare 2 crosses into the must-have category of video games effortlessly. It offers an unmatched shooter experience, a compelling story mode, a slick package of mini missions and a multiplayer which is pretty much unparalleled in depth. It's sure to satisfy the demands of its fan base, and anyone who considers themselves a fan of shooters in general should definitely pick up a copy. It may be debatable as to whether Modern Warfare 2 is objectively the best release of 2009, but it's certainly the finest game in its genre, as well one of the truly great games of this or indeed any year.
Time to lock and load, people...

p.s the PC is dead as a games platform
I've it preordered but I dont think I'm looking forward to it as much as everyone else.
Hope the single player is decent, the online play bores me.

Maybe its because I'm shite at computer games but how can that be possible?
Does that mean if someone buys this at midnight if they are good at it they will be finished the whole game before 8am tomorrow?
I have been playing games since the Atari 2600! and the only game I finished was GTA Vice City and that took me months and I defiantly clocked up more that six to eight hours of gametime on it

I'm not wonderful at shooting games and I finished cod4 and WAW in maybe 10/12 hours, there are plenty of people who'd easily finish it in that time.
A lot of shooters this generation have very short single player campaigns. All geared towards online which is a pity.
These games are ALL about the online play. I still play the original Modern Warfare online and it's been around over 2 years now.
I probably won't go near the single player for a couple weeks!
No sneaky early releases anywhere?

There are plenty who will sit down and complete it in nearly one sitting however long it takes. Most games I play I play in short bursts here and there so it will probably take me a few weeks to finish it. I only finished Arkham Asylum yesterday and haven't even started Uncharted 2 yet.

Surly at least one employee that work in places like Gamestop and Xtravision will have already played it or given a copy to their friends or family
There's loads of early releases, go on to the xbox forum and plenty are playing it, some had it on Friday!
Tesco direct sent out their orders last week
Game orders have all arrived early - friday and saturday
Someone posted up a receipt after he bought it in sainsbury's - I think on saturday!

Do you not get bored running around the same maps all the time when the only objective is to shoot someone else?
Maybe it's because keep dying all the time but I get bored with it.

Not really. It takes ages to learn the nuances of every map. And I find they tend to release new ones just when I'm gettin bored.
It's more about the challenge of outfoxing a living breathing opponent. Especially if you can play in squads with friends.
Does sainsburys open at 12 tonight? I wouldn't imagine 100 copies would sit around too long!
Watch though because my local asda is 24 hour and I went in on my way to work, about half 8, the morning FIFA came out (they were doing it for £26 quid) to get one and they weren't on the shelves, didn't start selling them to 9am.

Class.
Mist go to bed, must go to bed... Ah f**k it. One more Deathmatch...
Excellent game. Barely got playing story mode before I had to go online. Can't join with friends though. Keeps saying it's nolonger valid. Teething problems?

there is problems with the invite system which i have no doubt ifinity will sort out. it does seem to be a problem with the PSN though.

aye i'm brutal at it too but sure. weird invite system. cant say i like that at all. I had the headset on last night and all the yanks/canadians were also commenting that the invites werent working.
tired in work today though
supposidly (sp) they should have a fix for the invite by Friday.
Heard you can't have a private party you must join everyone is this correct?
I got COD 4 about six months ago but hardly played it as I had the PS3 in the living room and childrens tv rules in our house. I now have the PS3 in the bedroom, is COD4 worth persevering with or should I just sell it on eBay and buy COD Modern Warfare 2?
whats your thought on the Airport Scene Lurgan?
Bit mad isn't it? When I played it I shot yer man 1st thing. I'm Dudley Do Right, obviously I had to play through the scene the right way then. It's pretty brutal. Unfortunately it's a case of Art imitating life, albeit on a more extreme scale. Some twist at the end of the level too.
I think that scene doesn't come up if you answer no to the question about upsetting content. There is an alternative.
I think the most astounding thing about the game are the small details e.g. The lads playing basketball in the background while you're training (very generation kill). Also the civilians in the airport stopping to try and help each other. Very impressed so far.
The multiplayer is astounding. Very well thought out, intricate maps. Great weapons. Love the supply drop idea. The only thing is I think some of the special powers are too strong (I'm talking about you AC130!). Love the submarine pen snow map and the hill top house map.
Playing it now, impressed.
The airport scene :o Good put if it had to be a supermarket we attacked it'd be even better!
Snowmobiles were excellent too.

They were talking about this on the Ray Foley show on Today FM today..
They didn't want to give away too much but is the airport scene Level 3?
They were saying you had to answer YES/NO if you wanted to actually play the level..
Hoping to get this on friday,what are the prices in for us in the south?

They were on about it on Joe Duffy too according to my mother!
It's pretty shocking to be fair. I'm surprised there wasn't more talk about it.
You're asked at the start of the game if you want to skip the violent levels.
It is a shocking level to be honest and I couldn't quite believe it to start with. It carrys on for a long time too.
Online seems to be down tonight on ps3 so I may actually play some of the game :(

Bit annoyed with single player campaign, it's VERY short. I'm almost finished the second act, that's only after about 4 hours play.
Online is the ONLY way to go. I've only played up to the end of the airport, cos I've been online all the time.
It's savage.
Doesn't bother me pints. Thought the last one was short too. It's all about online so the sooner they get the bugs fixed the better.
Is online working on xbox tonight?
Yep. Haven't had a host migration or a disconnect all evening either.

My xbox gold membership expired few weeks ago so I dont know, but there's no mention of it being down on the forums so I assume it's fine.
Feck. I can't even get connected to the server. :'(
I've said it before. The service Microsoft provides on x box live is well worth the money.

couldnt get on last night at all
hope they get it sorted very soon
played a bit more of campaign and really enjoyed it. not really bothered by the length of it as i rarely play offline. in both MW & WAW i never got to finish the campaign at all/
Quote* GAME – £25 off when the first Modern Warfare is traded in
Can anyone confirm that this is the case? Think I might go get it tonight and trade in COD 4
EDIT: Reason I'm asking is because i cant see the trade in values on their website. Getting it for the XBOX.

Yes. Often it is. The point im badly trying to make, is that theres a similar attraction to it as there is to "playing grown up cops and robbers" BUT CoD turns out not to be 'a load of shite' and is actually quite fun/addictive

I'm 30 and I still play PS3..
I find it a great stress reliever to be honest,I have a fairly hectic day most days and a lot of pressure and stress which comes with the job,for me playing the PS3 be it FIFA or Grand Theft Auto or whatever takes my mind off stuff for a while the same way when I play a round of Golf with my mates or go for a few pints with my Da or go and watch a film and so on..
Each to their own though I suppose

Nonsense, I'm 39 and spend most evenings and a good part of my weekend playing games. I also spend a good portion of the day at work thinking about what player I'll buy in FIFA, what cars will I try out in whatever racing game is on the go, how I'll approach some mission in whatever shooter i'm playing and what I'll do differently than the night before so I'll get past the point in the game. I also intend to treat myself to a Nintendo DS soon.
What do I get out of it? Exactly the same thing I get out of my other hobbies and probably exactly the same thing you get out of yours.
Finished the campaign, 6 hours 50 minutes.
I'll be honest and say I envy yiz. Not enough hours in the day though.
That part where you have to protect the computer downloading/Internet connection is impossibly hard, either that or I'm crap. About 4 or 5 soldiers coming in each door and I'm trying to defend it on my own. I don't last 30 seconds. This is the first area I have had a problem with. >:(
Great game though, well worth the wait.
Just got it last night the Co-op is class! I love the one where your in the gunship
Found my first gripe with the game last night, disabling party chat and private chat for mode of the on line matches. I understand the reasons infinity ward did this but as I normally play with the same people whether on the same team or not, I can now only chat if they are in the same team with a load of poxy Americans talking over us or kids (who should not be on there) calling everyone homo's.
My other gripe is since I've started playing Modern Warfare 2 on line, my gamer reputation says 30% found me too aggressive (up from 10%). Now I can only conclude its from my gameplay as we now have to use skype for on line chat and I haven't used game chat at all. It's a f**king war game, poxy crybabies.
Good news though my kill ratio is 2.04 ;)

Found my first gripe with the game last night, disabling party chat and private chat for mode of the on line matches. I understand the reasons infinity ward did this but as I normally play with the same people whether on the same team or not, I can now only chat if they are in the same team with a load of poxy Americans talking over us or kids (who should not be on there) calling everyone homo's.
My other gripe is since I've started playing Modern Warfare 2 on line, my gamer reputation says 30% found me too aggressive (up from 10%). Now I can only conclude its from my gameplay as we now have to use skype for on line chat and I haven't used game chat at all. It's a f**king war game, poxy crybabies.

Hardcore team deathmatch does not support it as far as I'm aware >:(
It's the only thing I play as the other non hardcore modes require you to empty entire clips into people to kill them. I get hammered in non hardcore modes as I shoot people and run on to get a new position, since it's been gave away (with the radar being on all the time), thinking they are dead sometimes.

f**king hell just played the airport scene...jesus I got some shock the first time I stepped from the elevator!
I keep killing my own men though and being called a traitor!
Im 29 and Ive played probably 4 hours of video game in my life. Just wasnt ever able to get into it, maybe its because Im a clicker of buttons (I really suck at excel).
Wasnt there some eejit on here who at the last launch of the GTA4 game took the day off work to play it?
I kinda envy you boys, these pages read like double dutch to me.
Well is the update happened yet? Are invites working on the ps3 yet?
Has anyone played online yet? the Multiplayer is very good as expected and the new Spec Ops mode is great - the only bad note I would have is that you can only play it in two player and I think a four man team option would have been very good.

That part where you have to protect the computer downloading/Internet connection is impossibly hard, either that or I'm crap. About 4 or 5 soldiers coming in each door and I'm trying to defend it on my own. I don't last 30 seconds. This is the first area I have had a problem with. >:(
Great game though, well worth the wait.
That bit is a bastard alright. Bollocks screaming "defend the south west" or some shite - THERE ISN'T TIME! they're coming from everywhere. Some twist at the end of that mission too!

What level are ye all playing at?
Some detail in the game,when I was in Rio I stopped to look out across the bay and got a bullet in my head for my troubles :D
What's the story with the first call of duty? I know the code for it came in the special edition but is it going to be on xbox marketplace for everyone else at any time? I loved that game, I think it was the first ever game I completed.
Have to say I loved the bit where you killed the dog,I even killed the one in the playground just for the heck of it :D
whats the secret of being good online.
I hate when the kill and death scores come up at the end, the shame!
Whats the craic with online anyway..
Can you just go around killing whoever you like?
Can we all just set up our own game? I wouldn't mind killing a few of ye especially Tankie :D

I done ok with Tiger Woods online though
I played a few online with FIFA and won them all ;D
Just to be smug, I'm up to level 42 online with a kill ratio of 3.22 ;D
Took the day of work though to get a bit of a run at it ;)
After an hour and half online last night, level 4 - 15 kills and 69 deaths :-[

No it's correct. They dropped the Call of Duty part some time back but then put it back. I'm looking at the box now and it says Call of Duty on the front.
Some people take it very seriously....

Im improving on it.
I think I got about 3 streaks of 5 now and got the helicopters to come in, finished one game with 16 kills! :o (think I was second)
I'm on level 18 now (sergeant first class), 278 kills and 596 deaths, that's a ratio of 0.47 after 14 hours 35 minutes of online play
I think I'm getting a bit bored with it online though.

hhmmmm, unless you're planning to play online I'd say no. Do you normally like shooters? I've enjoyed it but it's not close to making my top games list. (cod WAW does though!)
And btw, if you're not big into games and haven't played many shooters you probably won't enjoy it online unless you like watching yourself being shot on a killcam.
Yeah the main game is very short, you would really need an interest in online play to get value for your money.

No. I mean hecould be using a shotgun, or the deeper bullet penetration perk.
Or he could be good at Headshots. Btw Pints if you're getting bored try the other game types like HQ or Domination. The tactics required are much different to Deathmatch.
Well into the game and almost finished i think,havent went near online as wanted to finish this first and loving it i have to say,whats the best way to play online or just go on a killing spree or what is the objective of it?

Depends on what mode you're playing. I like team deathmatch the best. The objective there is just shoot the other team.
QuoteBtw Pints if you're getting bored try the other game types like HQ or Domination. The tactics required are much different to Deathmatch.
Is HQ the one were you defend the HQ and then capture it etc. Was playing it last night and some bastard was lying somewhere, that no one could see, shooting us all. It nearly turned me in to the boy on that youtube video.

Nah that would be my worst game, the headset incident was because I kept getting killed as soon as I spawned - 6 times in a row, had a slight overreaction ;) TBH i've seriously considered trading it in, as I've been losing the plot with it the last few nights.

i though, much prefer something like 5 kill to 16 deaths :P
yes i am crap, cant get infuriating by i still enjoy the game as its only a bit of craic.
I just get pissed off when I see someone, sneak up on them from behind, shoot them about 20 times and they turn around and kill me with one shot!
yeah, that happens all the time.
Mainly atm cause i am quite low in the rank so most other people have more powerful guns.
i dont really like camping, im more of a run and gun person which is maybe why i get shot so often :-\

Happens to me all the time. Fire loads of shots then they fire back and I die. What also annoys me is if I run into someone coming around a corner I panic and start firing shots instead of using my knife like I should.
Running round corners wil result in instant death, lol! Find a good zone and stick in it, don't go running round the map lookin for kills, let them come to you...make sure you move after you kill someone though, they normally have an idea where you are and will come back for some payback! Move to the other side of the road and shoot the twat on his way back to find you, lol!
5 kills in a row is a the magic number . If you get this your boxed off as you get bucket loads of kills with the Air support or other such. Got 5 kills yesterday which got me a Sentry Gun. Which got me about 12 kills and other Sentry Gun.

boring
Sometimes I just stand in a spot and just fire wildly in all directions it's amazing how many people you can kill doing this there was one lad I killed from Spain and I got a long range shooter award or something like that
I'm passed it now anyway. MW2 wasn't ANYWHERE near as good as MW1. The storymode part ofr me is the main part and it was too short. On Res Evil 5 now.
Oh and as for campers suck, it does because it does not work. If it did I would have been doing that all the time.

I don't mean ly in the one spot, control a zone of the map and you'll be more successful, runnin around aimlessly is a sure fire way to a shit ratio...

I get bored at that, no patience.
After playing Modern Warfare virtually every night since its release, the most recent round of "sploitz" punctured the ritual in a way that dual shotguns or even people using Javelins as melee weapons could not. With Duallies or Jav Glitchers, it's easy to think of those opponents in terms of enemy type. The Javelin altered a player's profile sufficiently that you knew what you were getting into with those guys - it was like playing Serious Sam, or something to that effect, only without the customary ululations. You had to interdict them at incredible range, which added an interesting (if sometimes frustrating) precondition.
Obviously, if you're fighting six guys who all blow up in a thermonuclear fashion, that's not going to be a great round. And those f**king shotguns might as well be wands. We discussed that already. But neither of these things ever punctured the ritual.
These new hacks do violence to the experience at a more primal level. Rounds which never end, and place the full eighteen players on the game's smallest map, in glitched private matches that suck players in against their will. There is also a class of global effects running around, and your box "catches" them, like a sickness - they persist until you quit to the OS. The Unlimited Ammo thing falls into this class, as does some kind of Speed Force thing we saw last night, which seems to accelerate the game clock so that everything is batshit.
Weapon glitches (and frankly, weapon design choices which are indistinguishable from glitches) are things we can mitigate by play, and play is why we are online to begin with, so it is not utterly at odds with our purpose. This other stuff is different, because they gnaw at a place below the game proper, something fundamental, until you don't know what "game" you might be playing in any given round. That's not a situation I will willingly put myself in, and since every time I log on someone has discovered a new way to ruin it, I'm done. The routine has been so sundered that even if a patch does drop, I have no faith that it won't simply be the preamble to some new, more sinister devilry.
There was a full five day lag between patches on the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360; certainly, there's more to test on the 360, but that's no comfort to the millions of people whose purchases have been warped into something unrecognizable. Microsoft's sloth on this matter approaches disinterestm if not out-and-out neglect.

Campers suck.
Campers are the people that ruin the game!
If I found out the name's of a few campers I have come across in the past i would be on the World's Most Wanted List.

Wasteland is the worst for that (and derail pisses me off too). You get on average 10 snipers on that map, and they all hide at the back in the hedge with the gilly suit. One guy killed me last night doing that so I run up and down the hedge killing him with a shotgun every time he tried to camp again. Killed him 12 times, you think he'd learn.
I usually sit tight, for crap lobbies like that, to play on smaller maps such as Favela or Terminal. There is no where to hide on those maps and easy to single out the camping fcukers >:(
If its on team deathmatch theres nothing better than throwing in a grenade at a load of campers and finishing the lot of them!! You can't run out in the open with them, so i just normally crouch and walk around with my back to the wall. Works much of the time!!
I am death online at COD, keep getting killed. Only on level four or something, playing against ones on level 60, how is that fair? Is there not an option in the game for them to put you up against people around your level? I am always the worst player there. Keep getting woopa'd.

I'm death at it online too but I'm gradually getting a little better. I'm up to level 27 or something. Some games I'll get about 14 kills and other times I'll get about 2. Does my head in but that's why I keep playing.

Sounds good, but is this being made by the same crowd that made the World War II games as these generally don't turn out to be as good as the Modern Warfare ones?

Yep Treyarch are the studio developing the next in the series and Infinity Ward have confirmed they are working on another non related project for Activision.

I like WAW better that cod 4 or mw 2
I loved WAW, thought the Russian missions in particular were brilliant. The Modern Warfare games are good as well, but I just love old war settings, not too sure about Vietnam though, I love killing Nazis.

yeah, the sniper one where you crawl around the dead bodies is excellent
I think it's the second mission where you're walking down the river and get ambushed, the atmosphere created and the graphics are unreal.

I actually thought it was quite boring, there was nothing in the game that hadn't been done before. Online was no where near as good as modern warfare either, I always thought the maps were too big (one of my criticisms of some of the MW2 maps) and the tanks were pointless.

Well Id agree WWII has been done been done to death. That's why people don't like it and it's not really a reflection on those who made the game. Vietnam should something new. I think I'll book a day off for the release date!

The best map in MW2 is Rust, nowhere to hide. I hate playing in the huge maps, too many hididng places and not enough action.

btw there's nothing worse than that battlefield game on xbox arcade for map issues! ffs you spend half a hour getting to the action then you're shot and you get sent back and spend another half hour getting back to the action!

Googled COD: Vietnam there and found a couple interesting articles, first one says that the Vietnam game will draw influence from Apocalypse Now, Platoon and Full Metal Jacket. That is wanktastic, I love those films.
http://news.spong.com/article/20137/Call-of-Duty-7-Takes-Influence-from-Apocalypse-Now
QuoteNew rumours have surfaced about the (allegedly) Vietnam-based Call of Duty 7.
Word doing the rounds is that CoD: Vietnam will be heavily story-based, homing in on the stories of individual soldiers: basically then, lifting the idea of Michael's Herr's Dispatches; and why not, Francis Ford Coppola did.
The rumours go back to a story that's actually over a week old on Abstract360, which attributes that little factoid to "reliable sources" belonging to PlanetXbox360, though the story doesn't actually appear to be up on that site.
Abstract360, apparently jumping to a source of its own, goes on "According to our source, similar to how the original CoD titles modeled themselves after the direction and pacing of movies such as Saving Private Ryan, CoD: Vietnam will borrow from notable war films such as Platoon, Apocalypse Now, and Full Metal Jacket."
Of course, word's been floating around that the next CoD game will be set in Vietnam for a while now, so all of the above sounds perfectly plausible. Given the vagueness of the source, however, we'd just recommend going and pinching a bit of salt off the road to take with it. Actually, don't. We need that salt where it is.

QuoteCall of Duty's rumour mill has suddenly kicked into life with two titbits about the future of the guns, guts and glory franchise. There's talk of a Vietnam War based Call Of Duty due this year and rumours that Infinity Ward won't develop Modern Warfare 3.
Modern Warfare 2 was an entertainment juggernaut, creating controversy and massive sales but VG247 is claiming that developer Infinity Ward has moved onto "something completely new". It claims a source recruits games developers.
Infinity Ward has made no statements about its next project is. Modern Warfare 2 DLC packs were announced yesterday for release this spring, initially as Xbox 360 exclusives.
If Infinity Ward does drop its association with Modern Warfare, there are strong indications that Sledgehammer Studios, a San Francisco based developer, could pick up the baton. It recently advertised for a multiplayer designer with experience of working on console and PC based shooters.
Meanwhile gaming sites are a quiver with rumours that the next instalment of the main Call of Duty series, developed by Treyarch, will be Call of Duty: Vietnam. It's suggested that the story will focus on the story of individual members of an American platoon during the Vietnam War.
It's thought that Call Of Duty: Vietnam will take its inspiration from war movies like Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket. Last month the developer put up a job ad seeking a Call of Duty level designer able to use historical research while Activision explored licensing a soundtrack of Vietnam war era rock'n'roll last year.

I know you do, we have had this conversation before. Now I didn't play the last WAW game but anyone I have spoken to or anything that I have read normally says that the Modern Warfare games are better. I must get the last WAW game sometime and give it a try. Also I thought COD4 was much better than Modern Warfare 2.
World at war is good but not as good as the modern warefare games IMO but in saying that I know I will be buying the Vietnam one too.
I'm now up to level 36 in MW2 online and still struggling at the best of times. Some games I struggle to get 8 kills, other times I'll get into the 20's. Holding out to unlock the M16 and hoping that will make a difference

can vary a bit, got my years subscription a few weeks back for 26.00 quid or something from a crowd on ebay. around 30 or 35 it is in some places.
GB, people only like cod4 or mw2 better because it's modern with new weapons and all that. That's not a reflection on the makers of WAW, they set out to make a WWII game and did a bloody good job. I've no reason to think vietnam will be different.
