Just got it at the midnight launch at Tesco! They had 1000 copies and there must have only been about 200 people. I can confirm the Tesco deals that someone else put up earlier are correct, I ended up going for the game + PSN £20 card for £45.

Only had to queue for 15 minutes once they had released it, probably about 45 mins in total. Very happy indeed! :)

Can't say the queue in Asda was as long as it was for MW2, didn't quite reach the freezer section this year, but there were two lines this time splitting up people with pre-orders and those without.

Playing on normal at the moment, I've died only twice thus far, both from grenades, which I hope isn't a sign of things to come fromthe rest of the game, and really hope it isnt like that in veteran.

Have the game since today for PS3 and didn't bother with the SP.... went straight to the MP and am Level 14 now :p

The only thing that hits my eyes is how bad it looks compared to MW2 PC but oh well.... 720p =/= 1080p :(

Sigh, I'm bored of a certain point in a level already at the moment, doesn't seem to want to checkpoint, it's like they took the most annoying part of the Japanese sections of WaW and decided to have another go, yey more infinite spawns. :rolleyes:

Sweet, looks like treyarch didn't listen all of the communities concerns. Infinite respawns FTL. Irregardless, my time in single player will be short and sweet, MP is the bread and butter.

It's not all levels, it is just one I have come across where it is apparent and is somewhat related to what was going on, but there was no checkpoint going on during that section and they would spawn infront and behind me regardless of how many I killed, so when I did get to move forward after clearing some enemies out I would get shot up form behind, then shot from the front again.

Maybe I am just tired, but it was irritating enough to quit single player and spend some time in Multi-player instead, which is rarely what I do, lol.

But the game has taken the improvements made from MW2, atleast so far I haven't come across grenade spamming or besides the one time any other infinite respawns.

    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.

      It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
