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.

    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.

      "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
