Copied from AUF forums, posted by ReflexionKiller, who is one of many to have the game already:
| QUOTE (Reflexion) | *disclaimer: Will contain some spoilers. These are just my opinions of the game after playing online TDM for about 4-5 hours in mostly random yank servers.
INTRO- Well where do i start? I guess i went through my moments of loving this game to absolutely hating it. One thing is for sure; its epic in every sense of the word. There is just so much customisation to be done its insane. The maps are mostly huge and detailed. There are so many challenges etc to do you get lost thinking about just how much there is to do and see. It may sound obvious but this is not COD4, its nothing like it. It feels completely different. It isnt COD4 with new maps and guns. People move differently, you shoot differently, you die differently. Its a completely different feeling.
LAG-One main plus i want to mention first is lag, ive been playing 95% of the time in american servers with 1 or 2 bars and the lag isnt any worse than playing in an Aussie cod4 server. It really doesnt feel that bad. The 4 games i played in Aussie servers were fantastic. The hit registration is great you always feel like your shots are landing regradless of being in an overseas server. This will make alot of people very happy, the next part wont.
HOST MIGRATION- The reason i only played 4 aussie games in 4 hours was the host migration, doesnt matter if you get a party of 4 and try to find a game its just going to migrate to the yanks in the lobby. Its so frustating and a main reason why people left w@w early. Hopefully this is improved.
PARTY/INVITE- WTF? the invite/party system is really frustrating using the xmb it takes alot longer to get a party set up. One good thing is you can chose to join someones active session and jump into a game with them that way.
MAPS- the maps look amazing! they are huge and detailed and a few have some really fun themes to them. The maps are amazingly complex, by this i mean they are mostly multi level with heaps and heaps of buildings which you can jump through/climb on top of and get to the next one. Its great fun to jump from building to building and outflank the enemy. To be honest it feels like the maps were specifically designed for campers, I did just play TDM because thats all anyone was playing so it was my only choice. I dont know what its going to be like when there is a flag in the middle of the map and literally some levels with HUNDREDS of perfectly good places you can oint your gun at it from with perfect cover with no fear of being killed. You will have to wait untill you play yourself to see exactly what i mean.
PERKS/KILLSTREAKS: perks are cool, not much to say, a few new ones and a few old ones. having an SMG with sleight of hand stopping power rapid fire plus another perk of your choosing can be very fun. I dont want to spoil too much by talking about them. Killstreaks are fairly awesome- i can one or 2 good killstreak rewards winning not just pub games but clan matches. One fun thing is with a 4 kill streak you can get a support box which has a random killstreak in it- i ended up getting nearly everything out of it and they are all really fun and very effective. The sentry gun could be decisive in matches. You w.ill either hate or love all these extra planes/helis flying around at the same time, im undecided.
GUN ACCESSORIES- there are so many of them. you wont get bored quickly trying out new things and even trying out having red dot plus silencer at the smae time. Hepas of choice here.
GUNS- i havnt used them all but ive used alot of them. Im not a fan. They sound like a pussy piece of shit, almost instant kill with near no recoil. It is too easy killing someone at a distance with an assault rifle. Whilst some guns do feel better than others they all just feel the same, there is no individual feel to any particular weapon. My favourites so far are the UMP and the M4.
OTHER STUFF: it does feel very gimicky with things popping up on the screen every 2 seconds, it will either shit you off or you wont worry about it. I like the "calling card" its sort of like a badge that pops up when you kill someone or when you are killed- you unlock titles and other stuff to customise it i didnt think i would like it but i do!
CONCLUSION: This is just so different to COD4 but hopefully it ends up being in a good way! maybe with a full party full of people in aussie severs trying out different game modes and i would have alot more positive things to say. Its just going to be a wait and see sort of thing. |

Best video yet, full game of S&D on 'Invasion': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fZ_OZrRXn0Notice kill streaks carry across rounds- not too sure about that, will probably result in near permanant uav's.. And choppers etc, in S&D.. hmmm. Actual gameplay looks sick tho.

Potential for fail increasing.
All hail America for they are far more important as gamers than anyone else in the world.

I liked the round winning kill cam.
The blood on the camera looks really annoying.
Is there a clan system or is it the same as MW?

I'm sure if there was a clan system ref would've mentioned it.....
Which is a little disappointing. Interchangable tags is a bit lame.

Okay I wasn't fussed if this failed before but Dad thought he'd get me a reward me for doing my TEE by pre-ordering the game because a few months back I said I was interested in the game (off topic, he pre ordered from UK so I have to wait 12days after release lol, no biggy though). So if it fails I'm stuck with it, was going to originally wait a few weeks to play at mates houses and see if I like it but I can't turn around and ask him to cancel the order incase you can't and then he'll feel bad. After all it's the thought that counts but I'd hate his money to go wasted on a fail game so I'm sorta stuck.
Sounds alright though, I like the fact it's not exactly like COD4 because I didn't want a DLC pack, I wanted an entirely new game. Gotta see what it's like on release day I guess.

If it's real it wouldn't work like that lolol. 25k/s isn't rare in a game like COD so I doubt they'd stick something that powerful in at 25k/s.
If it works like that though you'll have clans getting their best killers to camp the fuck up and then when they hit a 25 k/s they'll take everyone out lol.

It's real and it does end the game... But, a few things to consider:
1- they not THAT common, especially in a clan war.
2- you can only have 3 streaks equipped- and i dont too many ppl will have a 25 streak reward equipped, not after they get it once to check it out anyway...
3- as natures said at 6A, if u manage to get a 25 streak AND have the balls to use a valuable streak reward on 25 kills knowing its gonna be few and far between, then meh, have the win.
And lastly, as far as proper matches go, i'd imagine streaks such as that would be banned in official wars.

It's going to be rare to get a 25 kill streak now that all the others are included.
With ALL the other ones, they would have ballanced it out.
Also, in a TDM, 25 kills would be like 1/3 of the total kills needed, and that's by one person. Therefore, included all the other kills, it'd be almost over anyway. Though it would enourage camping.

Well the vid that Peach posted looks fkn unreal, But that host migration sounds bad, I don't see why they would change the way their servers work, after seeing the FLOP that was W@W and the fact that COD4 has lasted sooo long, it just sounds like their dumb asses. It better not migrate when there are more Aussies than Yanks, coz this could kill the game. I still dont know why they cant have a dam server list, FUK YOU MATCH MAKING.

I dunno, look at the positives- no more "going to single player" coz dudes arnt showing on ur list, no more wanting to change class but having to delete 55 million game/party invites to do so.. I reckon that outweigh's the mild inconvenience of having to open xmb to accept an invite.

It'll probably work like Uncharted and Resi2 where you just get notified of an invite through an XMB msg, but you still join a party through the game menu.
And by the sounds of it, you can join people's party without waiting for an invite too, which'll be handy on the odd occassion.
I don't mind that system tbh.

lol 37  most i ever got in a clan war was 17 against Toxx  .. I reckon the party system wont be that bad.. atleast there'll be no goin back to single player and shit.. It would be good to have the "leave with party" option though..

ill probs play a lot of private matches.
i heard that you have two rankings. one private one for pub games? does that mean that you have to lvl up in both pub and private games? if so private rooms will be more important to get your rank up then pub. for clan wars anyway.
