I dunno what's wrong with me, but I'm just not excited for this game

srika

Im guessing the extra stuff will be available online, in due time?

srika

from what I know about you, you seem to go through these kind of lackluster 'phases' where you're not excited about things that you are excited about, at other times. such as photography heh. I would say, let it pass, you will be excited at some time in the future.

im not AS excited as i was for MW2... but shiny new toys are always good.

most of my excitement comes from not getting a new game since august.

srika

the difference for me is that MW2 was my first Call of Duty game. I never played the older ones. That means, I was also a (thanks , noobhunter ).

so I think thats a big reason why Im VERY excited about this.

they have their ups and downs..

according to history.. this game is supposed to suck.. but the reviews and trailers tell otherwise.

these are just my opinions and those of people i know.. some of you may have enjoyed them all..
1 = good
2 = good
3 = meh
4 = good
5 = meh
6 = good

(7)Black ops = ?

hopefully they can break the pattern this time around.

Treyarch hasnt done anything to earn my confidence as of yet.

Myxomatosis

I personally dont have time to learn new games, so it will be nice to pop a game in for the first time in a while that I already can play pretty damn well.

my expectations are not too high, but I ready to be surprised.

CCColtsicehockey

yes but being one of maybe 2 or 3 games I play anymore I want it right away haha

srika

actually I will be buying this game only later this week... not tonight. ok probably tomorrow night. lol. because tomorrow at 8:30am I have a big appointment, I am taking photos for a friend who is having a baby. and, I can't be gaming all night tonight.

Mizouse

Of course you can

srika

maybe when I was in college.

CCColtsicehockey

Its really sad but last night I was trying to stay up and play MW2 to polish up my online skills which I have to say are extremely rusty unfortunately but I only made it till 1am

I had much better luck though playing the game on veteran and playing several levels without even dieing.

Hopefully the adrenaline from a new game and playing the missions will make easier. All nighters used to be simple haha.

^off topic...i saw an episode of the real world or something on mtv. they had a contest of staying up for like 3 or 4 days.
at the end of the contest...they were hallucinating and speaking gibberish. I wanted to try it in highschool summer days.

srika

i stayed up for 30 hours straight recently.. it was not too hard to do.

srika

i guess that doesn't support my theory of only being able to do this in college. i don't even remember why I did it. too bad I don't care when I contradict myself. hell, if the people who run our country do it all day long, why can't I? that's right. I can.

CCColtsicehockey

Haha not going for that crazy. Besides my hands will probably cramp up before I have played 24 hours straight of COD. If I recall the longest session of games I have ever managed to play is like 8-10 hours before my fingers hurt.

CCColtsicehockey

Problem is I won't have been sleeping all day today so I will already have been up for 14 hours by the time I get the game tonight so I don't see myself last more than 6-10 max boooo.

ftw!

CCColtsicehockey

Only extras come in the prestige and hardened limited edition copies which apparently ran out of pre-ordered for the cheaper hardened edition $79.99 and the prestige $149.99. I missed getting the hardened and now people are selling them for around $110.00 so I just went and bought the prestige with the rc car. They both come with extra online content of 4 extra maps for multi-player and some extra zombie maps as well.

The basic doesn't come with those although I am sure in a month or so whenever the first map pack gets released for purchase those extra maps will be available for free but hey I don't want to wait so I am paying to get them now.

CCColtsicehockey

Wait WTF how did you get it already

TL CHROMETIDE

I know a few small time/mom-n-pop shops that sell it early. I got MW2 a week early but they only sold the standard editions. I went with the prestige edition this time around so I have to wait until actual release date.

is300eater

Supposedly in some towns this game is on back order, I don't remember the game that was sold out on release day. I think it was like Halo 2 or something


edit: nevermind, what I read was regarding the "Hardened Edition"... whatever that is

CCColtsicehockey

^^^ If they don't have my copy tonight I will knife someone

CCColtsicehockey

Hopefully tonight will be double xp or well double the new game point system like it normally is during initial release week. All in for playing in the newbie channel till like level 20 lol.

TommySalami

Anyone getting it on PC. I'm getting it tonight with my roommates

AznImports602

Im getting it for PC, but wont be able to play it until the later that afternoon since I work. Hit me up on steam if you have one!

WILLDOGS

So I didn't pre-order.

They are having a midnight launch tonight at my local best buy.

What are my chances of buying one normally? Can i just go in and grab one?

Also, would I be better off going at like 4am on my way to work? I start work at 5am.

This is all new to me

TommySalami

They won't be open at 4am, but you may want to call now and see if they require you to have preordered it

925mugen

Last time I lined up at a GS for an hour before midnihgt for MW2 and thought......... F..k... If I would have just stayed home ,had a staff meeting and went in at 1am , I could have just walked in and bought and left. I did not pre-order and am going in around 1230 to see if I can get 1. They went through pre-orders then sold to others last time. This was for the regular edition not the hard or vet. editions

Slideways925 if you want to send invite. 360 tonight and then PS3 tomorrow(dont ask why)

I just pre-ordered my copy. I am going to wait in line in a couple hours. Gamestop said they are expecting 500 people.

I preordered, but I won't be able to pick it up until tomorrow at lunch.

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

go to walmart or target... those places have the hours your looking for.

every store that does pre-orders should have plenty of extra copies to sell afterwards...

if they didnt run out of MW2 or halo 3.. they wont sell out of black ops...

Johnny.Ly

I was very very lucky to get a copy for $50. I have a copy of the hardened edition coming in from amazon tomorrow so I'm going to sell the regular one tomorrow for $50 and keep the hardened lol. Anybody wantto buy it? Lol

Anybody else having trouble getting on XBL?

Mizouse

probbaly going to pick up the hardened edition on amazon since it comes with more maps.

Costco

Wasn't too much in a hurry to get this game actually. I still really want it, but a day or two or three isn't gonna kill me. I hate lines, and getting too hyped up about something only makes waiting suck even worse.

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

i was going to pick up the hardened edition but when i found that none of my friends bothered... i figured i'd wait for the other maps like everyone else...

i got off before you posted but up until 10 p.m. or so i didnt...
