My mate is one of those dicks that exclusively play COD and buys ridiculously priced headphones to sound-whore on it. He told me.


If he was my mate i'd be onto him about him getting me an early copy! Does he do that as a job?! Thats got to be one of the best/easiest jobs in the world, which company does he do it for? (If he does)

He reviews games for some website, also does podcasts and shit. It's a hobby he has, doesn't get paid just gets games which is fair enough.

Can get myself a copy for as early as Saturday myself, not sure. Not really a game I can justify splashing out full prices anymore tbh.

Yeah, i know a few people who are getting the game on Saturday (me included), but in doing so we had to pay the full amount in advance 10 weeks ago, hes only getting 50 copies, so he got the first 50 peoples money upfront to guarantee we'll get it on the 10th.

This shop get rakes and rakes of copies in and sells them to everyone and anyone. I went into the store yesterday (Monday) to buy Halo 4, and they said they're sold out of it.. the day before release.

Is it a named store like Gamestation/Game or a back street family run shop? The one whos selling it on Saturday over here is only a small family ran dvd shop, he only really gets games in he knows will sell, the usual, Halo/FIFA/COD, he knows there's no risk that way.

Independent store, fuck knows what their back story is but i've been going there since the 90s. Decent little shop.

I'd suspect alot of independent stores will be breaking street date, simply so supermarkets etc don't take all the sales.

To be fair my PC value is pretty over the top, too, purely for gaming purposes. I'm on the wired G35 headset, G19 keyboard and have a Razer Imperator 2012 mouse. If you play games often enough and don't have too many bills each month the difference is enormous.

IGN are just starting a live stream for BO2 multiplayer.

The multiplayer is decent if you get good players. (I think Matt will have played it also)

So I caved, and i'm enjoying it. Very decent so far, however i've always preferred the games set in the 'past' (I know there's futuristic shit involved), and games by Treyarch in general. COD4 being an exception.

What gun is your favourite so far?

I like that they have the COD4 styled MP5 in the game.

What's the MP7 like? Heard it's quite decent.

Looking forward to getting this tomorrow morning, read some good things about it so far.

Few things ive noticed.

Snipers = way over powered.
Knifing = shite
Spawning = shite
Maps = too small, all seem really small infact.
Scorestreaks = can't stack them, shite.
Unlock tokens = shite, should've kept COD Points.

Zombies = AWESOME!!! I was never a zombies fan, until this came out. I like the zombies more than the multiplayer. COD is starting to wear thin now, someone needs to bring a new game out that takes the console gaming by storm (like IW did with COD4).

I wouldn't say they are. The biggest map there is probably Aftermath. The rest are close combat maps.

I haven't got the game but having stacked kill streaks completely ruined some of the previous ones. Just lead to people camping in a corner completely ignoring the rest of their game. It much better that they don't stack.

I've found all the maps to be massive, bar the boat one and the helicopter landing place.

Enjoying it so far though, currently using MP7 with silencer, fore girp and laser.
