Topic: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare coming to Wii 11/10/09

[NWR_insanolord]

I've never even discussed a Call of Duty game before buying this one, so there was no way I could have known about that unless someone told me. And before anyone says "You should have read the manual": guess what, I did. There was nothing in there about that. Is there anything else about this game which I might not know about? It seems possible that there is something else I'm missing.

The fact that you're as much better at the game than I am as you are and you managed to do that while always firing from the hip is depressing.

For some reason I feel insulted by this.

You shouldn't be; it's a compliment. You managed to play at a pretty high level despite a major handicap.

Is it really that big of a deal? So far it only seems useful for long-distance shooting, as it doesn't offer enough mobility to be a good idea at close range.

By the way, are you available to play tonight? I've been itching to play some more since discovering this.

[NWR_insanolord]

I don't think I have time. I want to get to bed at a decent time so I'm on a good schedule to be able to be up for my flight on Thursday, and I've got a lot of stuff to do to prepare for the trip.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you, Mop it up. I think I learned it in the training mission of the game so I assumed you knew it as well.They explain it when you are shooting and aiming at targets in the target range.

I might be game for late tonight. I'm seeing a friend soon so I'll post when I get back.

[Mop it up]

I think I did play the first part of the training when I got the game, but I wasn't really paying attention because it was late, so I rushed through it to the point where I could adjust my controls, and then I hopped online to play with you. Haven't touched the single-player mode since.

Can I get a guess on when you might be available?

[Stratos]

After 11 my time at the earliest. My friend wants to try his crazy board game again and that can take a while. It's a co-op Kuthulu (sp?) game where you all work together to stop Kuthulu from entering our word. Pretty cool but very technical in the rules department.

[Mop it up]

I have not heard of that, and the fact that you didn't spell it right made it difficult to find.

Is this similar to the game you're talking about?

[Stratos]

Correct mythos, wrong game. This is what we are playing.

[Mop it up]

Aw, too bad. I was about to suggest that he could name his game Call of Cthulhu: Medieval Warfare.

[Stratos]

Ha! Funny one there.

[Mop it up]

What a crazy night, huh? I wasn't doing so well because I'm tired, but then all of the sudden, we both start to tear the house down on that one office building level. We each had at least 30 kills, I've no idea how we managed that considering my performance the rest of the night. I got a new record for a kill streak, 17!

Oh hey, was the on-screen display doing funky stuff for you in that last match? It was a strange one.

[Stratos]

I was noticing delayed notices popping up and it said I was on 'last stand' when I didn't die. I think it was really laggy because none of my shots were connecting.

We rocked the house on that one. I even got a chopper called in. Pretty cool.

[Mop it up]

Would anyone be up for kicking some ugly army men butts sometime this weekend?

Perhaps next weekend;

TRU is having a BOGO 1/2 off sale - this and Red Steel 2 are on my "hurry up and buy already" list.

[Stratos]

I'm excited to be able to play with you too, Easycure.

[EasyCure]

Thanks, and likewise. If i get the game Fri or Sat, what time is good for you guys? I just want to make sure I'll be available (since a party might be thrown in my honour on Sat). Sunday works for me but, being a holiday I'm not sure how it works for anyone else.

Also; i've only played one CoD game before (whichever one has Nazi Zombies) and even BEFORE I played it on my friends 360, I knew about aiming down sights I would always see such comments for FPS games and assumed what it meant, and confirmed my assumption as correct when finally playing the game.

[NWR_insanolord]

I'm down for some CoD this weekend. I've got a break from school, which I intend to spend almost exclusively playing games (a nice change of pace from the weekend I just spent almost exclusively playing games).

That sounded like college for me too!...except I also almost played games exclusively on week days too. Could never get homework done because random people would be all 'come play halo!' or 'come play starcraft!'. It was great other than the all-nighters I spent finishing papers I procrastinated on.

[Mop it up]

Once again, I've never so much as discussed any modern shooter before, so there was no way I could have known that. It isn't an important feature, anyway.

I wonder what kind of damage the four of us could cause on a team? If Toruesu shows up before then, we could have a full team of NWR.

I've managed to maintain a 3.5 GPA so far despite writing about half the papers I've written entirely in the last 12 hours before they're due, so I'm handling it well. That makes it incredibly stressful, but luckily I've found this great way to relieve stress called playing video games. It's a perfect circle.

Unfortunately, I took all my games home before PAX because I'm only back now for a couple more days until I'm off for almost a week for Easter, so I don't have access to them right now. Red Steel 2 came while I was at PAX, and I didn't have the energy when I got back from the trip last night to stand and play it, so now I have to wait until Wednesday. I have two whole days with nothing to entertain me but the hundreds of hours of video on my computer, my DS, and my iPhone. How will I ever manage that?

[Dasmos]

If I was to purchase this, would I be able to play online with youse or is the online regional?

[Mop it up]

The online play is worldwide. The reason I know this, is because there is an option to play only regional.

[Dasmos]

Cool. Well I bought this for a ridiculously cheap price, I'll probably play the single player before I jump into online though.

[BranDonk Kong]

The single player in Call of Duty is always pretty short, but you really get into the characters you play as. You need to play MW2 eventually, it's pretty awesome the way they bring everything full-circle.

I have played MW2, but I played it first. I only ever played the CoD4 multiplayer before it was released on Wii.
