So with a week to go who's got it pre-ordered?

Personally I'm looking forward to some classic multiplayer fun.

 

[Andybtsn]

I haven't got it pre-ordered but will just go into town in the morning and pick it up..

Can't wait

 

[orderoftheflame]

Limited Edition for me.

The steel tin version, not the Toy gun one.

Well for reference I picked up the LE for £39. Cheapest I've seen

 

[RichieM]

I still havent played the first one got it here, just not got round to playing it.

So, although 2 looks awesome i'm gonna hold off for now - get CoD W@W first.

(Reasoning: I completed CoD4 single player but never played online, after getting the the W@W Beta it proved to me what a disadvantage that was. So I'd be even worse at Gears as i havent even played the campaign.)

Damn that is a good price for the LE!

 

[Noel Gallagher]

Pre-ordered standard edition. bring it on.

Damn that is a good price for the LE!

only because its not worth it

 

[bakes0310]

Probably pick a copy up, seems pretty good.

 

[RoachycaL]

Collectors edition pre-ordered I'm not anticipating this as much as I am some other games though

 

[Manlove is my forte]

Really need to pre-order this... and book the day off work.

Going to take Kreeeee through the SP mode then go online and make sid my *****.

 

[McManicMan]

pre-ordered for my boy who's going to have to wait till xmas day, along with GHWT Band in the Box set and Rockband 2 solus

 

[Andybtsn]

Why pre order if your giving it him for Xmas??

HARSH!

 

[Robert1986]

Rent for me. Looks good from the live stream I watched a few weeks ago. Story is a lot more epic this time round.

 

[Will Lucky]

HARSH!

Supply shortage possibly .

Not sure if I'm going to pick this up. I considered the first game a bit average and I have the same fears for this one.

 

[Robert1986]

Supply shortage? Not a chance in hell.

 

[Sinny]

Got the CE edition pre-ordered, not that its needed but i got Fallout 3 today so i thought why not as it doesn't cost me anything. £30 voucher left so it's only going to cost me £15 squids.

Really looking forward to it, was a bit surprised at the fact its got 3x as many chapters as the original! Long hours of co-op fun .

 

[tsinc80697]

cant wait! definitely going to buy this, first one was quality in co-op, completed it once in 1 session with a mate!
