    The one thing that really pissed me off about this game though... no stats website like what Bungie has. They've been working on this game for how long? Didn't they do any research to find that people really enjoy looking at their stats, which guns they're best with, and comparing stats with their friends? IW definitely dropped the ball on this...

    I just hope they launch one eventually.

    I´m such a dork. I actually laughed reading that.

    I´m not taking a dig at you but what you basically said was something like: "Hey have you ever heard of the movie Titanic or Star Wars"



    Anyone here that likes very in depth sims or just likes soccer then the new Football Manager 2010 is great. They have changed the tactical interface now so that instead of changing sliders for how much you want your player to go forward or what sort of mentality they are supposed to play with you choose a role for them. For example you tell Fabregas to be an attacking deep lying play-maker and Owen to be a poacher.

    Another cool thing added is that now you can create and add leagues or change the old rules. Theres already an edited database that has the English football pyramid down to the 10th level and it includes all the local cups as well which is nuts.

    The game can be quite hard to get into but its worth it because of how much depth the game has. If you do get into it though you will be spending a lot of time with it. My 2009 game had something like 4-5 days worth of playtime on it with getting Oxford to be the greatest club in the world.

    I think I may be retarded, I can find the option to select a clan tag, but for the life of me I can't find a way to invite people to a clan...is it unlockable at a certain level maybe?

    Oops, Xbox here, Gamertag is Fernanthones.

    Havn't actually picked up MW2 yet, I'm trying to finish dragon age before I do so I'm not switching back and forth between games all the time. I'll have it soon though, and at that point I'll be joining up with you guys.

    I don't think they have clan support like that. It's essentially add people to your friends list and set the same tag.

    COD: MW2 made $310 million dollars in the first 24 hours it was released. Holy fuck this game is amazing.

    I have heard figures about the sales. I wonder how much they sink into developing and marketing the game? Big games like this have to be close to 100 mill? Good for them, I got it, it is AWESOME. I'll meet up with you guys online after the weekend. Gun season starts this weekend.

    They used the same engine as the previous game, I bet they didn't sink as much into dev as you think. Plus, there are still a lot of beefs that people have with the MP on this. Just read through here...

    Lack of clan support is completely baffling to me. I mean as many people that play competitively you'd figure that there would be some option of playing with your clan instead of making a tag and then having to create a party. You should have a dedicated page to seeing who's online, stats, clan messages etc. It seems that every FPS or TPS has this but MW2, supposedly the biggest game of the year.

    Oh for the PS3 owners, until the patch comes out fixing the FUBAR party invites here's what you do.

    If invited to a party, don't open the invitation. Instead, go to the XMB and log off PSN, then log back in and accept the invitation and you should be able to join a party, I tested this last night and it worked fine. Hoping to see you guys on later.

    I assume everyone has figured it out, but if you don't own MW2, you are doing yourself a great injustice. COD4 was absolutely incredible, and this blows it out of the water. The online multiplayer is possibly the best I have ever played in terms of customization, balance and pacing. The lack of clan support is pretty strange, but whatever. If you were toying with the idea of buying it, just stop wasting your time and go buy it right now.

    For those that have it on PS3, shoot me an add (PSN = Lahey). Dmix, Stirfried and I were tearing it up for a while...in my first online match I started off with a 6 person kill streak, and was promptly blown away by Dmix. Thanks, pal.

    That is if you have it on a console...

    Playing with a ping of 200-300 isnt exactly great on pc and the game is made so that a community cant be built around it on pc as you can´t have dedicated servers. No clan servers etc custom maps game rules or anything that you have come to expect from a FPS. Also you cant have huge games anymore either, its limited to 9 a side now.

    The single player is very short aswell like MW1 and I had more fun with COD1.

    Then theres this: http://www.geeks.co.uk/7282-activision’s-bobby-kotick-hates-developers-innovation-cheap-games-you
    it was posted here before

    I wont be buying the new MW even though I know it wont make any difference at all but theres plenty of games out there. The new Bad Company will be coming out and then theres Arma 2.

    And yes I know that buying an EA game like BC isn´t better than buying an Activision one...

    I cant edit my old post anymore so I had to make a new one about ARMA 2

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KK6Fo3Y0AU

    Its a sim so its not a quick paced action like MW but Its great if you liked operation flashpoint.

    Have they fixed all the bugs on it? I heard it was a great idea, but on release the bugs were crippling.
