Well I started at about 8 last night and finally had to cal it quits at 2 am.Plain and simple just addictive. Storyline seems to be ...to good...as it could very well be current and that's scary. The parts in the "Middle East" could be a game on its own. Reminds me of the part in Rainbow Six: vegas. I honestly like to hear from any "Vets" on this to see if this is how it is. It would be interesting if there was a "Squad Base Order" part in the game. It's already challenging enough to keep from being shot in every direction.

Has there been a night or two for everyone in DVD Talk ot get a game up yet?

Good news: The gf just ordered me the deal from BB in the above post I mentioned.
Bad News: I have to wait until xmas

I'm stuck on the same part. I hoping there's something simple I'm overlooking that'll make this part easier. The closest I've gotten was about 3500 m away.

I started this mission 2 nights ago and put it away after trying for about 30 min. I played in spurts yesterday, and the only progress I made was a checkpoint right before the enemy choppers come. What sucks is that just when I think I'm making some progress, a stupid dog comes to get me. I still struggle with the timing for surviving dog attacks. I want to ask my friend for tips, but he beat it on normal, so I'm sure he'll just say "it wasn't that hard"

Why would I want that? I like my perks and guns

You'd want it if you were insecure about yourself and needed to prove your mettle in a videogame to a bunch of people you'll never meet...

Just pick this up at BB. I don't know how close I am to the end, but I'm at the part where the two SAS dudes are wearing the Ghillie suits and have to take out the creepy-looking guy that looks like Rasputin from Hellboy. Two words: Holy. Crap. I don't think I've ever enjoyed stealth and sniping more. (Of course I probably said the same thing when I played every incarnation of Metal Gear and Rainbow Six.) Haven't tried MP yet... will probably give it a shot (no pun intended) after I finish single player.

I agree. What's the point?

I'm at level 16 now but still regularly get my ass handed to me. When I get to level 55, I expect to be a killing machine, not some pussy with a nice "medal" next to my name. Hell, I don't even look at half the players insignias when I play online.

I should point out that there are some latency issues with this game....it's subtle...but it's there and it causes some issues.

I'm not bitching about getting "pwned", but these are some issues that are just annoying:

- You can shoot someone in the face over and over and then just die from a single shot....watch the kill cam and it appears you weren't even aimed at him on his screen. Latency

- Twice last night I shot people from behind..and they didn't die (I had to stab them to kill them). Latency

- Sometimes grenades don't blow up or just disappear. Latency.

If there were dedicated servers...these issues may be minimized...unfortunately there aren't and we're stuck with (sometimes hidden) latency..even if the game appears to be playing smooth. Maybe there'll be a patch that fixes this.

Something else that's sort of bothersome is how it seems like people are playing this on screens WAY bigger than mine (or at least sitting a lot closer to it) - my screen is 42" and I sit about 10' back. I'll get killed fair and square - I'm not bitching about that - it's that when it goes to the other person's kill cam, I can't even see myself in their sights. From how far they are, I'm actually smaller than the red dot in their sight, and camouflaged to boot. I am so freaking tiny in their sight that I have no idea how the hell they see me well enough to kill me - and sometimes, with a head-shot even.

I'm at that part too. Freaking wind and Coriolis Effect

pretty much the same story here. I can get past the dog and the helicopters but then there just seems to be a massive rush i cant get past. I thought running and shooting would work but it doesnt seem to.

I've got an update to my situation. I decided to be a wuss and run to the opposite corner from where the Captain is, and hid behind a building. Nobody bothered me, and the chopper eventually landed. Unfortunately, there were at least 10 guys near the chopper, and I couldn't really do anything before they killed me. I've gotta think of another way...

For that part of the game I went prone right behind the Captain. I waited it out there and took out guys as they came up on our position. I could survive just fine until the chopper arrived but making it to the chopper took a few tries. There were always some guys on the base of the ferris wheel so I had to drop the Captain a few times to help me clear a path.

I just passed it. I did it just like this and worked the first time i tried it.

I was up all night Friday working and when I got bored, I had to find new internet sites to browse. I ended up on the COD site reading the forums. Someone posted that they played with the #1 ranked player who admitted freely that he cheats. His Xbox Live 'quote' is a URL to a cheating website. Apparently that site is full of posts by seriously pathetic individuals who share information on how to cheat.

I just don't get it. Yeah, you're number 1.

Exactly what I did, minus having the forethought to place C4 to clear my way. I just ran through them all.

Man, that is to pathetic it's not even funny.

Yeah, beyond pathetic. I'm not sure if it was the #1 guy, but I played with some guy named "Giny", who's already in his third prestige mode, and he was lagging everyone, so he could run around and easily kill all of us.

I can't find the 360 version anymore at any of the major retailers. Not at KMart, WalMart, Best Buy, Circuit City, and so on. I've seen copies of the PS3 versions, but the 360 is totally sold out everywhere I check.

What combination of weapons and perks are you all using in MP?

My assault rifle build right now is using Bomb Squad, UAV jammer, and Last Stand.

I would love to get a cooler perk than Bomb Squad but i haven't unlocked anything else that is decent at Tier 1.

I'm also going to snag Martyrdom as soon as i unlock it. It will replace Last Stand.

MP5, UAV Jammer, Martyrdom on Vacant = A hell of a good time. Especially because I think everyone else uses Martyrdom as well. It becomes a grenade fest of epic perportions.

That's who this post was about!

I just don't understand the satisfaction. Maybe from a 10 year old, but I know a lot of these pitiful people are adults.

Ah yes, one of the perks of having the less popular HD system...I usually don't have a problem with finding titles still in stock!

I ran into the same problem at both Best Buy and EB Games. I was able to find a copy at Sam Goody.

Finished 'Death From Above' today. This game is unreal.

I find 'Headquarters' mode to be the fastest way to earn XP. Every time your team holds a point, you get +5 every five seconds. Get in a server playing Headquarters and the map 'Shipment' and forget about it. Just load up Martyrdom and go crazy. The map is maybe 30' x 30', just a small square map with a few crates in the middle. It's nade fest central, but every time you die (which is about every 30 seconds) you are guaranteed at least one kill, if not several. It's my favorite map, and you can gain 2-3 ranks in a game or two.

A walk through of it:

Look at the radar for an idea of how small the map is. Imagine 12-18 people in there. It's pure mayhem. XP up the wazoo. I can't recommend that map and that mode enough.
