. The main Missions on Veteran are doable.

I'm not really bothered by the general violence but I just think the beginning was completely unnecessary.
And as a side note, I'll usually defend a game if people complain about it being to violent.

That sounds like a very clunky way to set up that zombie mode.
Soo how is BO2? I expected to see this thread a lot more active by now but only a few replies since my last visit yesterday. I know the servers were having issues yesterday but that always happens the first day big games come out. Sometimes it lasts for about a week with Cod games. Hopefully its worked out by the weekend.

So far I've had zero issues with the servers (on 360), if anything the new matchmaking is getting me into matches quicker than either BO or MW3 and with a far better connection.

It is a bit, it's quite hard to find your way around the menus at first but you get used to it.
Overall really very good, a markable improvement on Black Ops and Treyarch has cemented themselves as the better developer over Infinity Ward in my opinion.
I haven't completed it yet but the story mode looks good, similar to BO in terms of a lot of cut scenes to tell the story but these are all skipable. Gameplay feels really good, easy to get the hang of and quite a few cool weapons and attachments.
Zombies is great, it's been thought out really well. In BO it felt as though they just jumbled a load of rooms together and linked them all up, a real mish mash and was very confusing. The maps are simpler on this, harking back to the original Nazi Zombies, with all the perk machines, and pack a punch.
Multiplayer for me is the chink in the armour for this game, it has the same problem as MW3 with spawning. A number of times I have spawned right in front of the enemy, so literally within 3 seconds of spawning I'm dead. And others the enemy have spawned behind me literally less than 20 metres away and boom I'm dead.
Also hipfiring is extremely annoying, there's an attachment to go on the gun called a laser sight, and in the description it says it improves accuracy and aim when firing from the hip. So you get plenty of people running around splatting masses of bullets from the hip and not even aiming, and there is jack you can do about it. You die every time.
But when you cancel those out it's quite fun, some cool killstreak rewards to play with, and like I said nice attachments (apart from the laser sight
)

It's COD. I only play the competitive multiplayer and it is pretty much the same as all the versions of COD, but with different maps and a fancy new loadout system that looks alot different then the others, but is pretty much the same once you get use to it. I always liked Infinity Ward versions better, but if you like COD then this is right in line with the rest of them. No real surprises or changes once figure out the menus and loadouts. Not much difference on the game modes and pretty much another really safe version of a very profitable game.
The one big improvement and maybe really the only improvement I have noticed is the sound. Everything sounds alot better.
The one big problem I have seen is the hit detection and lag between players in gun fights, but that will probably be sorted out soon with the servers gettting better.
If you like COD and want some new maps then this would be a good buy, but if your just going for the competitive multiplayer and expecting anything new at all it's not happening. I've been kind of disapointed in it after reading reviews of how great it is and it's a step in a new direction. It's the same old COD with different menus and ways of organizing things, but htis isn't really a bad thing, at least you know what your getting with COD.

I hate the multiplayer. That's all I can really say about it. At least I have friends to play it with.

Did anybody else's leaderboard stats get reset last night? I had 2-3 hours put into the game with a better ratio than I have now. It now says that I have only played an hour
Anybody having problems killing people even though you are shooting them in the head? I admit it's from range but 3-4 quick bursts of the trigger should be killing them.

It's cod, as stated above. If you want something else. Move on. Cod won't change until the the next gen.
Overall I like it, it is much better than MW3, not as good as BO in my opinion but BO had such bad connection issues this is much better to actually play. Player 2 lags as always, wish they wouldnt have split screen online. It feels a bit wierd, the maps are laid out like MW2 style maps but have a look of BO about them. The guns feel like MW weapons even though it is a treyarch game. Nothing really annoying. The loadout thing is now similar to MAG, so still nothing new. I hated MW3 but I don't really understand the hate this is getting. It's nothing special, but I am enjoying it, it has the potential to be fairly good, and for a cod launch has the best connection I have known.

Same here, any word on online restrictions for this game? All it says on Redbox's site is "online acess is subject to publisher limitations". I know MOH had a 2 day limit and it said so in Redbox's site, any word on this one??

I'll try when I am home and post in about an hour. On the back of the box it says nothing about zombies, just Online is 1-18 or 1-4 splitscreen. I believe it is 8 player but will confirm shortly.
MOH had a two day limit because you need an online pass. You don't need an online pass for COD.

I've seen some of the features, and I think I may get it just for zombies mode and combat training mode. I missed them in MW3.

I'm already starting to dislike this game but I'll probably keep it for zombies and also because my friends play it... I think I'm done with Call of Duty from here on, I thought maybe Treyarch could redeem it but I guess not. At least in my opinion.

This game is absolutely way different than all other CoD's. I understand a lot of people know CoD for being the type of game that is the same, but this one is just 🤬 amazing! Multiplayer has some lag, but what do you expect, just came out
In my opinion, it's Treyarch, they will be fixing Multiplayer lag issues and server trouble. Just wait, my estimate is probably this weekend before double xP <--- So pumped for that!! But yeah, patch should be coming soon.
Other than some lag, Multiplayer is great, Zombies is really cool because they added in a lot of stats this time around. Anyway, if anyone wants to play B02 add me up on PS3 (harrison1476)

I quite like it, but how is it way different? It's exactly the same.
Console doesn't run on server, it runs on a p2p system.
