Poll: MW2 CTF Trailer and Host Migration

[ssgt splatter]

Apart from the awesomeness of the gameplay, what I'm really psyched for the Host Migration in-game. No more of the game lasting 15 seconds and then ending because the host disconnected or quit. Now it just pauses the game and switches hosts so you can jump right back into the game 5-10 seconds later and kill you victim in the awesome way you planned on so you can tea-bag the noob.

Other features in the trailer:
Two new Killstreaks- Airdrop and Predator missle strike
The riot shield looks like it's going to do what the Boomshield does in Gears 2...make people scream, "why can't I hit you?!"
New ways of getting XP- Buzzkill: kill an enemy short of a killstreak. (which can mean 1 of 2 things: the level cap has been risen again so they added more ways of gaining XP or we can just level up faster now.)

Who else is psyhced for the game that could be the best multiplyer game of the year or, cautiously optimistic, this console generation? Yeah I said it. Even better than Halo.

This game looks insane, there were explosions everywhere!

Also, a guy got beat down by the teammate with the riot shield!

I can't wait to buy this game and own some nubs.

As long as Infinity Ward has made it, I like it, I just wish Activision would fuck off.

I liked how the the Sniper had realistic pushback.

Ok just want to clear up some confusion I have, Activision is wanting to charge more than usual for the Standard Issue of the game and that's why everyone is upset with them right?

Pretty much, Bobby Kotic (spelling?) is just being a douche back, he raised the prices on the PC by $10, and he over priced it for anyone that uses the Pound.

Heres the Link [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/88858-Activision-CEO-Is-A-Carpetbagger] Theres a bunch more, just search the site for Bobby Kotick

In that we spotted a load of new features and the return of some old ones.

Go and watch GTopBlock over at Gametrailers, it picks apart the trailer.

The riot shield isn't as strong as the boom-shield from Gears, a high powered Light Machine Gun or a grenade/RPG would tear straight through it. You can also only use a side arm with it, and can't aim down the sights either.

Well, yeah good point but from the trailer it seems that the riot sheild could stand up to a number guns. He was just casually walking around the battlefield. Also, could you link the above sentence if possible? I'd like to see that GT trailer

Yeah yeah, here it is:

But about the shield, he narrowly dodged the AC-130 gunship blast and an RPG. I didn't see any grenades thrown, and i think the majority were using shotguns and assualt rifles.

No dude, the AC-130 gunship and the airstrike was their's. I checked the radar because I thought he did survive a 40mm shell from it and was thinking, what the hell? But the AC-130 icon was green as was the aristrike. Thanks for the link.

No problem.

But you can still die from your own airstrike. In CoD 4 when it says, 'Friendly Airstrike On Your Position' you need to get the fuck outta there!

Yeah, from YOUR airstrike. If a teammate calls in an airstrike, the friendly fire recognises the airstrike as your teammates so you're not affected by it, just like friendly grenades don't harm you either (unless you pick them up of course). Now if it were your airstike or grenade that bounced off a wall then yes, you need to RUN LIKE HELL!

Hmm... Really?

Yeah, the worst you get from a friendly airstrike is your aim gets messed up during the duration of the airstike and...well you can get stunned by it but not killed. Except if it's hardcore of course in which friendly fire is turned on.

Dammit! Oh, well. You picked apart the video a lot more than I did, good job.

 

[Insanum]

Epic want. Words cannot describe how much i want this game, so for now we shall settle with the word "lots".

Well, thanks. I would normally be more humble but I spent an entire night raking through the video and I still can't find some other stuff. There's also loads of teeny details that nobody notices.
