Not in the rest of Europe. Check mainland prices – getting it below 50 € is great deal, especially since Activision is trying to push the price 10 € higher on every platform. It’d be one of the very very few 60 € PC games – a ridiculous pricepoint.

“Playing splinter cell with a 360 pad allows you to skirt the phonic range of your enemies, slowing down as you inch closer for the neck grab.”

You mean like holding (ctrl, alt, shift, whatever) and moving?

Heliocentric says:
The rrp really means nothing anyway, never has, They will sell it at whatever price is most profitable.

are we allowed to boycott MW2 since the CEO of activision is a horrible greedy monster? or is boycotting still too immature since the l4deadites screwed it up.

It’s fine if you only enjoy super-realistic combat simulators, but it’s silly to blame a game for not being something it’s not trying to be.

Prototype had a nice version of Manhattan to crash around in.

Maybe Heliocentric is really Helios.

You’re talking my language Sparvy. I dabbled with CoD4 Promod publics, but being 18 months late to the game I was rarely able to rise above a 1.0 kdr. They were good fun though and even spectating was more fun than playing Hardcore when you found a really good player and were able to see all the weird ways of moving they had that just would never occur to me.

I have to say, I have no respect for people that like hardcore mode in CoD4. I used to play real hardcore mods in the previous call of duties; you know where you more or less die of one shot, essentially no hud (couldnt tell if you killed someone over long dstances for example), getting crippled, that sort of thing. Those worked because the mod makers balanced the game accordingly, SMGs had essentially no accuracy and huge kickback, no zoom on any wepons lacking scope etc. Those games could be played so slowly and carefully, I kind of like it.

In CoD4 the mode lacks any kind of balance, it is completely broken. SMG and silencers are overpowered seeing as the increased damage doesnt make assault rifles a good enough trade of for the increased speed. And god damn, I have dominated servers playing only with the deagle, it one shots everything and is accurate like a rifle, its only setback is the low ammo.

That said the normal mode is far from perfect, none of the killstreak awards improved the game in any way for me.

Nah, if I would get back into CoD it would have to be clan play with some match mods. The unmodded version on public servers is just a brainless chaos, which might be fun from time to time but when TF2 can manage to bring in teamwork in a random public server cod4 doesnt really have enough offer.

Yeah we need some more wars to turn into FPS’s. Its all WW2 or Iraq and counter terrorism stuff these days. Vietnam still hasn’t been mined enough, apart from Vietcong 1&2 there hasn’t really been any other good Nam games. There’s Korea, but I suppose the weaponry is too similar to WW2 stuff. I quite liked the fictional 1980′s cold war scenario of Operation Flashpoint.

IW know how to make a trailer, that’s for sure. Wow!!!

Still not going to buy at release/RRP out of principle.

Anyone who acts like jerk because some people dont like said “gaming’s answer to Michael Bay and John McTiernan” deserves to be… treated like jerk?
