So, the day has passed, the game is complete. thoughts...
Well the moment i launched SP and entered the tutorial mode i was super pissed off, they have removed fundamental PC features that for me affects my playing style. I instantly stopped playing, ranted at facebook, then constructivly posted my views on the IW forums. Now some may think these arent things to get upset about but i really crave these things. Basically you can no longer use Q and E to lean around corners, so now like those console fps nubs i have to stand out of cover to shoot.... stupid... also they have removed the function to disable cross-hairs, even in veteran mode!!! wtf, i bloody hate crosshairs, they are shit and pointless, especially in COD. so that bugged the crap out of me,... till i got to the 2nd level in SP then i was sold, i can't knock the game... its fcking awesome! ill leave it at that, it has to be played to be believed, truly stunning, amazing action packed story (do it on veteran too). It's all about SP mode for me and they delivered, i cant fault it.
Spec ops mode is really fun, unfortunatley i have 3 friends who own this game on the PC so basically its hard to find someone to play with, but an old L4D chum has it so we cained like 80% of the missions on vet so far and its been really fun and professional lol.
Now for the big one, the one that has caused all the controversy, MP. Well tbh, i quickly wasnt that bothered about a lack of dedicated servers. You see from my past expereinces of COD4, it always took time and effort to find a server that a) was hardcore b)had a good ping and people playing and c) was not bible bashing me thru the whole game and displaying quotes and gospel (which is so retarded cause the game is about shooting people in the face... not that christian.... thou shalt not kill etc etc....wait a minute... hmmm..... actually... good be debated....
anyway, POINT is that it would take so long to get in game, and find a good server, (im guessing no spa servers at that point in time) so now the new system, doesnt work that bad, i mean im only there to shoot people, its not like l4d or tf2 or what not where im invested in the community. The system works at least and you get in game just fine. If you want to arrange clan wars you still can just have to control invites. Plus the small teams make the game more exciting for me. Rahter than a dull frag fest where u are killed every 5 secs on spawn and its complete chaos, its more strategical and tense.
thats it. i reckon yes they really did a naff job providing a superb product for the PC consumer, but i cant fault it cause the way i felt after the last mission was worth every penny.
