Don't go too far...

I think the campaign itself is too linear. Maybe it's like this in all other COD's too, but I don't know as this is the first I've played. It would be a lot better if it wasn't so archaic...and short.

I liked the length of the campaign, personally. I hate singleplayer games that drag on and just repeat themselves (see: Doom 3).

Glad I didn't buy the fail version aka PC version (N)

Was there ever any doubt which version you were getting? :laugh:

Uncharted 2 was a great length and it was considerably longer.

I don't get this. On multiplayer I get around four killstreaks, but when I was on the phone, I kept getting more I got to six. Off the phone, I suck. lol.

Haha, had the same a few nights ago - I was on a terrible streak that night, I then went to get my toothbrush and brushed my teeth while playing, I got an pretty nice killstreak :laugh:

Whoever you were talking to made you so mad and furious you just had to express your anger somewhere.

woop , finally got my first nuke :D ,before now i'd never seen/had one in game belive it or not , was playing domination on wasteland and went through my guns ammo plus 2 pickups off dead enemys , got 1 kill with the predator missile and then i managed to stay alive long enough to clean house with my chopper gunner before unleashing all hell with my nuke , it was a pretty satisfying feeling to be honest . And there was no way the other team could catch up so i thought what the hell , final score for me 36-1 and i garuntee right now i'll probobly not get another nuke for weeks or even months .

I was under the impression that kill streak rewards don't actually count towards your kill streak? COD4 and WaW did but MW2 doesn't.

Anyhow congrats, 36 kills is impressive, I want to see a nuke!

It just depends on what kind of killstreak reward you use. Predator missiles count towards your streak bu the sentry gun does not.

Veteran on this game is super easy.

Because there's also Spec Ops mode now, which is also required to be completed on Veteran to get "1000/1000" in the game, as you'd call it -

I think it's a fair trade-off, because some of the Spec-ops missions on Veteran are a pain in the ass.

Am I the only person who plays spec ops on veteran completes a map which takes you around 20 mins then at the end see that IW did it in around 2 minutes and just think WTF, how, theirs noway they can be doing this on veteran? wonder if they have any videos of them completing it.

I don't think the sentry gun counts towards the kill streak becuase your not directly controlling it , you just plonk it down and let it get on with it and it's not leaving you vunerable on the ground like the predator missile and chopper gunners do , although saying that as far as im aware when your piloting the AC130 that actually takes you off the map so im not sure about that one . I just checked the barracks as well and it says my kill streak stands at 33 not 36 so im not sure what happened unless it takes some off for the team mates killed with the nuke even in regular mode .

Erm, I don't think so. I've had 5 kills, used Predator Missiles , got 2 kills but didn't give me my 7 kill streak award. :blink:

You can get it onto third person? How?

It is available for several multiplayer game types.

Erm, I don't think so. I've had 5 kills, used Predator Missiles , got 2 kills but didn't give me my 7 kill streak award. :blink:

Maybe I'm wrong. I haven't used that killstreak reward in about 25 levels but I can double check today and see if it does.

Predator DOES go towards your overall killstreak same with almost every other killstreak reward. ( Could be game-mode depending but it 100% does in TDM and S&D )

It goes towards your kill streak but doesn't help you getting the kill streak reward! I've never had it help me in any game mode! :s

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.

    • Hands on with iFlyTek AINote 2 E-Ink tablet: insanely thin and smart

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      The iFlyTek AINote 2 is among the thinnest E-Ink tablets. It has an EMR stylus, a built-in fingerprint reader, and plenty of built-in AI features. You had me until "and plenty of built-in AI features." That and any company that still does the iProduct naming trope is an immediate pass. It suggests the company isn't very imaginative or creative and is trying to piggyback off another company's success. Extremely lame. Also kind of expensive. Better choices at lower prices out there.
