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.

    • KillerPDF 1.4.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

      "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By grunger106 · Posted

      The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.

      It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
