Call of Duty: Black Ops

- Start date
me too, happy days indeed
no week or two for me tho, unless delivery gets badly screwed up
my ps3 has Ylod, im hoping my mate will lend me his, for a few days till i buy a new one, just waiting for the cash.
People *HOPED*
Myself included. Nobody knew for definate or claimed to have any sources. Those that claimed they did said it wouldnt happen.
they announced over the tannoy at our sainsburys they were openning at midnight especially for this, and it would be £28 if you spent £30 in store today or £37.98 if you just turned up on the night. No £30 spend. Pay full price.
They wont be doing it for £26 for everyone like last year. It didnt make them any money.
Fifa 11 was the same offer just about, so i cant see them changing.

Damn. I wont be going through on Vet then. Just has no flow like that and becomes just working out trigger points and running at the right time which I find boring and more like a first person puzzle game.

My call of duty 4 turned up a month after the release date with a note attached saying "sorry, we've been kicking this around the floor of the sorting office for 4 weeks, hope it still works" or words to that effect.
I must have been a lot more patient back then, I'd have gnawed my own arm off and bought a copy from the shops after a few days if it happened now
Don't want to get you worrying or anything, just saying, you aint home and dry until it's a-flopping on the doormat.
If anyone is desperate CEX across the road from where I work is selling the game early.
At £70 a pop
Worst part is that people were actually buying it! Must be really desperate to pay almost double to play it two days earlier than everyone else. And also have the privledge of playing with nobody online
Thats madness, I'm honestly not bothered if mines late. I would just play something else instead. It really isn't the end of the world like people make out.
You call that a copy eyyaz? That's a PS3 game that!
Bah, only got the ps3 version because all my mates at college are getting it on PS3.
Don't see it happening, all the stock, POS (promotional signage etc) and stickers have already arrived today. There's no money to be made in just selling the game cheap on its own.
It's very much confirmed.

Just bought it from Littlewoods for £25, too bad i will have to wait till 12th Nov , £1.06/week payment option and 8% quidco , bargain price?
, £1.06/week payment option and 8% quidco , bargain price?Well, go on then, but make sure it's got at least 10 asterisks and the word "official" in the title. Makes it much easier for people scanning the list of topics to find what they're looking for.
Extremely linear games are just as badly designed as sprawling zones players get lost in. Old school shooters like Quake, Unreal & Doom have excellent level design without resorting to linearity (I am very aware they had their fair share of linear levels also).
The best way forward would be large open areas with clear indicators of where to go next. Halo's Silent Cartographer level is a classic example of this.

look at these two going.....insane
Linear games aint all bad as when you actually go back to some older games and if you miss a bit of dialogue or dont play for a few days/weeks its can be very frustrating trying to figure out what jour next objective is as so many older games never had any sort of map or even if they had a map any sort or marker to let you know where to go.
that being said though that map reminded me way to much of 90% of FFXIII which is supposed to be an RPG which i always thought gave you freedom.
also the map on the left reminds me of the screen you used to get on the crystal maze
