The cog things under the thumbsticks adjust the tension of them. The extra buttons are mappable so that means you can melee on tactical easily or reload without taking your thumb off the stick. I am a bit of a peripherals guy so I am really excited by this.

ah right, mappable buttons. knife + crouch would be the only advantage i can see myself using... might be worth it

dont see the point in the extra/less tension but im stupid

The 4 extra maps from the Hardened edition, can they be downloaded for MSP if you just get the normal edition?

Loose sticks are easier to get leverage over. The stiffer the stick the more pressure you have to put on it to get it going. This tends to make micro movements harder as you over shoot slightly. Loose sticks mean its easy to overcome that initial point and glide smoothly in small increments. This is basically what the FPS freeks allow you to do.

Its definitely not 1 KS, you can see in all of the videos that they have 3 kill streaks selected.

I've had the Freeks for a few months now and yes they do help accuracy tremendously. However I feel that if I took them off I could maybe have okay accuracy but me much faster and more comfortable. Hopefully the Onza can solve this. :/

I didnt pre order reach as i banked on the supermarkets getting into a price war.

They did kind of, tesco did it for £28 when you bought £16 of MS points, morrisons and sainsburys did it for £35.

They all had tons of stock on release day for what is going to be one of the top 5 big releases of this year. Black Ops will be the same.

The only real advantage to pre ordering is that you may get your copy a few days early.

Sainsburys did MW2 for £26

Confirmed - 3 Killstreaks still!

You start off with UAV(3)- CP(5)- Helicopter(7) This is also one of the reasons as to why there is no cost next to them.

Cross bow does not come out of the box with explosive tips- these need to be purchased or challange unlocked

Those videos don't seem very smooth compared to MW2. Hmm.

I reckon they will downloadable. Otherwise you'll only have a limited amount of people with the maps.

Yeah the fact they need to lengthen the stick in order to achieve a looser stick is an unwanted side effect to me. Makes getting to the face button harder and the extra throw means going from one extreme to the other is slower. I'd still take a pad with freeks though as I hate the stiff sticks of the 360 pad.

dont know since the 4 extra maps are co-op maps only. its for there new zombie mode (or whatever the new gimick is for this time around)

i guess the stick things dont apply to me then, my control is worn enough for me to do that anyway

plus i hardly ever use sniper class (its ridiculous, show me one trained sniper who has that much scope movment, even while shooting upright) the extra buttons do tempt me though. especially since i been thinking about what can be mapped there. im assumeing that any button can be mapped???

From those videos it doesn't look very smooth running. fps looks sucky.

Watching this one, just about everything seems to have the ACRs lack of recoil..

What's the weapon he gets after the m16 in that video? Is it the FAMAS? Looks like quite a beast!

biron_w · 19 Sep 2010 at 16:03

Have just read on the COD forums that there will be HC FFA :eek:

Now that will be campers paradise - just sit still and shoot anything that moves!

yup, that is a famas.

and for the people who are saying the graphics are a bit below standards(i moaned about them too).

they are meant to equal MW2 (according to a forum thread i saw) the videos they are showing us might be really old...

widnesjohn · 20 Sep 2010 at 02:58

recoil is my main worry watching them videos i like skill to be able to use weapons and burst fire being the way to be accurate kill instead of auto fire a whole clip without missing thats the main reason i moved to bfbc 2 you actualy needed skill be good with the weapons

Margaret · 20 Sep 2010 at 05:15

Lol wow it looks like they made the shooting even more braindead easy, wtf.

ellingham · 20 Sep 2010 at 08:04

When MW2 was out everyone complained and said they loved COD4 and this one sucked/was for noobs. Black ops will come out and every one will complain and say how much they love MW2 and how this one sucks/is for noobs. And the cycle will continue...
