C.O.D 2 might be widely regarded as the best in the series, but for me there is nothing better than holding the bridge in the original while that music builds. Never had such an emotional attachment to a gaming moment as that..... unless you count my deep love of the Portal credits.
Cant wait for this game, im more concerned about the multiplayer however rather than the single player. I'd love to know how that is like, are there specific classes like medic, assault, special ops? their abilitys? tanks and aircraft, how do they play?
Im an avid multiplayer gamer, i buy games that are all about team play because it offers better value and longetivity in play for games, id really REALLY like to know what its like!
Unfortunately, I've got no info on the multiplayer other than what I've read off wikipedia and a few scraps off Joystiq etc. Our hands on was singleplayer only and I missed the public beta.
No probs cardjoe! just thought id tell you what i lookout for in games, the multiplayer is what attracts me, im in love with teamplay games, battlefield 2142 is my current fave but i need something new - im hoping this could be it or team fortress 2.
Hopefully we will findout what mplayer is like soon :)

I sit here waiting for more info on that :)
There are classes and customisable classes.
Each weapon has powerups, with different sights, 2ndary fire and camo.
You can have 3 powerups for yourself, such as stopping power, health boost, speed, don't show up on UAV. you can have 3 at a time and some cancel each other out.
There were no controllable vehicles in the 360 multiplayer beta.
You unlock things on killing streaks:
3 kills UAV
5 airstrike (or 7)
7 or 10 gives you the helicopter which kills on your behalf and can be shot down by RPGs or missile launchers.
Each weapon addon unlock comes from using the weapon more, headshots, kill streaks, overall kills, accuracy etc.. unlock the bonuses and give awards.
Some unlocks come from gaining exp and getting promoted.
You get to choose your own choices of grenade (limited to one type at a time)

It seems like this preview is writed solely based on the single demo-mission that took like 6 minutes to run through... Frankly I don't give a **** about the singleplayer, running through a pipe fragging vast amounts of mindless bots just doesn't give me anything. Thus I tend to compare the multiplayers and in this category CoD2 only has better graphics compared to the multiplayer of CoD:UO. It's a shame that great game has so few players these days, because I'd rather play it than CoD2 or any other FPS multiplayer I've tried so far. Vehicles, built-in sprint, no shotguns (THAT BUG), no climbing over walls (THAT BUGS), satchel charges.. Basically it has everything built-in that CoD2 only has as glued-on mods.
That's the end of my rant, sayin CoD2 as the widely regarded best in the series just set me off.
On top of this, breathing also becomes an important part of the game as an extra level of realism. Players wanting to hit targets far in the distance will have to steady their breathing by using the shift key to get a more accurate shot.
that was in COD2...
And this is being released on the DS? What a joke!

Well, you have to allow for different tastes I suppose. To me, COD has always been about the singleplayer, though if I'd had chance to do a multiplayer preview I would have leapt at it too obviously. However, given that the multiplayer beta was public, it seemed like a singleplayer preview would have given folks more info. I got to play the game at the microsoft hardware event a fortnight or so ago and that's where I pulled most of the info for my preview from, though I did also play through the demo through a few times to get a feel for the PC version. It certainly wasn't based only on the very, very short singleplayer demo.
I wish they have co-op thrown in there but I won't get my hopes up..
The demo was lots of fun, CoD2 in my book wasn't as great as CoD & UO, it felt like they did a little slump, specially when cutting out MP rankings, removing sprinting and stuff. It was fun.. but could have been better.. CoD4 on the other hand I was skeptical about, but now it's a buttload of fun and pre-ordered :p
LOL what are you smoking? UT3 has been and seems like it will always be the same recycled BS its always been with prettier graphics each time - thats it.
Run around like a mad man shooting and jumping at everything - that borders more on luck than skill.

You my friend, are ignorant.
I rarely go out and call people I don't know noobs, but when they talk about ut as being all about random rockets and sh1t, I get mad. UT requires a lot of more technique than most of the other games. Of course if you only play beginers, you will not have much else to do than spam them rocket but try and go play an advanced player and you will see just how wrong you are.
It is your comment and your view of the game that is complete BS , not the UT games
You have no idea what you're talking about. How can you even say something like this if you have never competed to a level higher than a demo server full of bots and first time players ?
It's as if I was saying that all it takes to kill someone at cs1.6 is to fire randomly through walls and flash every corner to blind people. The more you say comment on something you don't know, the more stupid you look

Im actually pretty good at FPS games, im quite handy at Battlefield 2142 and usually top 5 of every round, occasionally top 3 on the server which isnt bad considering im simply a casual gamer, not even hardcore. Heres my profile for my charector named Mephestic: http://www.battlefield.ea.com/battlefield/bf2142/Awards.aspx?Lang=us&PID=81372206&SrchName=&Profiles=
UT is a load of ****, it has been for a while, when your jumping around like a bunnyhopping idiot and simply firing like mad - sure there is a level of skill and reaction in it but the sheer amount of jumping and running around you do, it opens the game up to a lucky shot here and there.
Im not a beginner with FPS games, i have about 2000more kills than deaths, over a hundred badges in coming top 3 on servers which include bronze, silver and gold in bf2142 so im quite caperble considering i play for fun, just take a look at my profile.
UT is ****, it has been for a longtime. Now im not saying proffesional gamers like Fatality are crap, they have perfected the bunnyhopping down to an art form but the game itself is a glorified graphic fukfest which is stuck on the fast forward button, whats so good about it? playability? how so? battlefield 2142 isnt amazing but its a great game as it offers some sort of comprehensive playability, you can understand its level of realism, players dont run around that fast, they cant jump high and need cover and when you compare that to UT where players run around in the open jumping around like rabbits shooting everything hoping to get the lucky shot in or quicker timing - wheres the value in that?

You admit there is a part of skill and therefore, technique in the game. That's good enough for me. I don't care if you don't like the game and/or how good you are at BF2. You have the right to love or hate whatever you want.
What I can't stand is when ignorance and prejudices are mixed to make dumb comments about anything, in this case the UT gameplay. You clearly don't know much about the game but yet, you say it's **** (whatever those 4 * are).
I played BF2 once at a LAN. Totally hated it. Does it matter ? No. Do I say the game is **** and has been so for a long time ? No
Keep your comments for yourself OR try to know what you're talking about
Solidus IMHO saying that UT is a load of **** is about the same as saying that about all arcade type FPS is ****.......
owwww of course, BF2142 has like 162 mods in moddb.... ups got it wrong..... that was for UT 2004..... BF2142 has 18......
of course you will ask "what the hell do i want mods for? ", the answer is quite obvious...... fun in the most varied way... if you say UT is **** because it is a "bunnyhopping fast forward glorified graphic fukfest " then go to the list of mods and find something slow and not so unreal for you.... if you are tired of shooting people then go into moddb and download some kind of race simulator for UT or some extra game mode.
oww and of course.... UT games have that strange problem with updates and "cheap" expansion packs...... right? or is it BF? i just cant remember....
and of course everyone is on top of EA so they can license their awesome BF game engine that is a technological marvel for its time to make their games, no one wants the Unreal engine.
and saying that you have 2000 more kills than deaths (only God knows how many times you died) does not make you a better player, it just makes you look like an ass, anyway "That Don't Impress Me Much" as that woman singer says.
NOTICE, i am not saying that you are in fact an ass, and that BF is a bad game,.... but please, before posting anything or saying anything, think a little, simulate who is going to read it (you are not going to a forum filled with black people saying "KKK RULZE"), and no game worth mentioning is ****, think a little, it helps..... really it does.
Ghys, he should not keep his comments for himself, as neither should you or anyone, if people don't comment then knowledge does not spread and stagnates in the "non commentor" mind, simply just think before you speak.

Almost anything you do has a level of skill its just i find UT to use very few degree's of skill from a person. I find it stretches to bunnyhopping/running around non-stop and holding the trigger button while pointing your gun in the general direction of your enemy while doing the other two.
Its not prejudices, im telling people my opinion of the game - it is a forum afterall and luckily i know what im talking about, you sound like a poster fanboy for unreal, maybe thats why you were so annoyed?. Oh and i find it funny how you start this flame war by calling me a noob and then tell me to keep my opinions to myself? how about you do the same and shut your mouth next time and maybe not call me a noob ? Hypocrite?

Thats a flawed view, how can me calling one game **** generalise an entire genre of games? This game in particular is **** and just because i give a dumbed down description of why it is, (jumping and shooting) its down to more than that. It has been the same recycled crap for ages, the graphics have simply got better and the gameplay is very limited. There are other games that accomplish what unreal is attempting much better. Me calling unreal **** doesnt generalise everything, why on earth would you think that? If i said tekken was ****, how can that generalise all other beat'em ups?! What?

Yeh so Battelfield has mods, im not a poster fanboy for it since its had its annoying flaws but the reason i like it is it requires more skill to play than your average unreal player, it challanges a person more. Yes this is just my opinion, just like your analysis of me is yours - Unreal requires less skill.

Lol the amount of unreal games that have been spurned out over the years.. and other games using the Unreal engine copying others *cough* quake wars *Cough*..sorry something in my throat there! i think its called cheap-ass clones! whoops.
How many unreal games have been out? So there are cheap expansion packs but lets be frank, all games do this - your not going to shoot down world of warcraft because they released The burning crusade and now The wrath of the lich king so soon now are you?, hell even warcraft 3 had "the frozen throne" expansion but if they are good then whats the problem? The Battlefield 2142 expansions should have just been an update, i agree but i dont care, im a gamer after good games and battlefield is a good game, im not defending EA's actions because they released an expansion when it should have been an update - but its a good game they released it for so yeh ultimately i ask - whats your point? im not defending the games every flaw, just stating its a good game THATS IT.

Again whats your point? they license out the game engine - the game itself is **** but perhaps other people do a better job with the engine, maybe because its easier to develope for - whats your main point here? that its so good others want it? the Engine maybe good but that doesnt mean the game they make it for is?

Well maybe if you looked at my rank and statistics, Claiming i have more kills than deaths just means i do better at the game than your average gamer - did you even look at my stats i wonder? They arnt amazing but much better than allot of other players, better than your average gamer, the amount of gold, silver and bronze medals there is well over 100 (achieved when you finish a round top 3 on the server) and thats the same charector iv had since starting the game as a noob.
Oh and im not here to "impress" you, it was my point that im decent at FPS games. Showing my charector statistics is just to make a point, thats the only single charector iv had through 2142 and coming from a noob to bringing it into the positive isnt easy - do you have any stats for anything to show how good you are? Shooting mine down, id love to see how well you do?

Its a forum, its for a debate, if i think a game is pointless, im going to put my argument into why. There are better games out there for people who want to use more skill. Having played unreal and then other online games, it begs the question why do people play such a game? thats what i ask myself. maybe they are casual gamers themselves i dont know but im after games that challange more. Unreal is more catered for the casual gamer who plays here and there, other games require more skill that perhaps these gamers dont want to bother earning and developing. And i dont see your point in your post at all - Yes its ignorant to whipe out a Game like unreal on such vague comments but thats because the game is in my opinion a load of crap and im going to state why, if you disagree how about you put forward an argument as to why im wrong instead of making comments towards me - Thats the true sign of an idiot, they concentrate on my faults more than discrediting what im saying.
What a lovely example of flame-war we have here. It would be awesome if everyone understood that their opinions are opinions and not absolute facts. If one doesn't like arcade-FPS-games or UT then fine, don't play them, but please try to either keep the opinion to your self or atleast expalin why you think they suck. Just sayin "Becuz it requirez no skill!!111" makes you look pants-on-head retarded.

Im an avid multiplayer gamer, i buy games that are all about team play because it offers better value and longetivity in play for games, id really REALLY like to know what its like!
I sit here waiting for more info on that :)
The last time I saw a featured mod was "Nakamura" by Greensabath in april 9
Hopefully we will findout what mplayer is like soon :)
nice preview!
There are classes and customisable classes.
Each weapon has powerups, with different sights, 2ndary fire and camo.

Some unlocks come from gaining exp and getting promoted.
You get to choose your own choices of grenade (limited to one type at a time)
each of the custom classes are savable.
Sounds decent, hope it works well ingame!

Showing my charector statistics is just to make a point, thats the only single charector iv had through 2142 and coming from a noob to bringing it into the positive isnt easy - do you have any stats for anything to show how good you are? Shooting mine down, id love to see how well you do?
Its a forum, its for a debate, if i think a game is pointless, im going to put my argument into why. There are better games out there for people who want to use more skill. Having played unreal and then other online games, it begs the question why do people play such a game? thats what i ask myself. maybe they are casual gamers themselves i dont know but im after games that challange more. Unreal is more catered for the casual gamer who plays here and there, other games require more skill that perhaps these gamers dont want to bother earning and developing. And i dont see your point in your post at all - Yes its ignorant to whipe out a Game like unreal on such vague comments but thats because the game is in my opinion a load of crap and im going to state why, if you disagree how about you put forward an argument as to why im wrong instead of making comments towards me - Thats the true sign of an idiot, they concentrate on my faults more than discrediting what im saying.
Peace.
