All my online buds are playing L4D2 on the PC now.. but my household PC is a refurbished compaq laptop that’s wonderful for surfing the web and working from home, but blows for gaming.

I really can’t see blowing any money on a gaming rig right now.

Dammit my friends should grow up and get consoles already.

I’m trying to convince my wife that I need to add a gaming rig in our console/Mac centric house just for this one game.
I guess it has been two years since I last acquired a gaming machine

You know, one of the best things about the multiplayer on this game is that (in North America, at least) turn on the console any time night or day and have quick game of multiplayer. I wonder how much of the MW2′s success is due to the fact that players appreciate a game with a huge online presence, and once a certain critical mass of online-iness is hit it can’t help but get even bigger.

I’m still trying to decide if I like this new, cartoonier, interface. It’s like MS Word 2007, all buttons and icons and maybe all that feature-richness is in your face a bit much?

Anyway, it has replaced CoD4 as my installed-to-harddrive game (I really need to upgrade) and I’ve been playing it non-stop since it came out. That probably won’t change for a long while.

so the game has something for everone
if you want an intense single player
if you want a long lasting multi-player
if you want co-op missions (spec ops)
if you want to jump off buildings
if you want to walk around Moscow airport and let rip with an AK47
you should get this game

I still haven’t played through the single player… I keep getting distracted by the multiplayer.

Not that I’m complaining…

I’d like to comment on the more interesting scenarios of this game, but it seems like every bit of Modern Warfare 2 is a surprise that should be kept secret.

I will say that I think the single-player game is fucking hard, and although I’m glad I played through it, I won’t be doing it again. I’m not into online multiplayer, so I know I’m missing the meat of the game, but them’s the breaks I guess.

I’m not sure I like the continuing story that’s going on. I’ve always seen the Call of Duty games as being about the scenarios and not the characters, and it’s odd that it’s going that way this time. Maybe they’ll make it work in the inevitable sequel.
