MW 2

Anyone else played the campaign yet. After a slow start I really enjoyed it working my way through achievement hunting now and picking my way through veteran, which so far is on par with WAW for difficulty as the armoured enemies are a pain when out of equipment.

Ads for it over here are, as the young ones like to say ‘off the chain’

I’ve played everyone since the beginning so I’m a sucker without the adverts. Finished this on veteran now so on with co op and multiplayer

I’ve never played COD but enjoy watching the story modes on YouTube. How difficult is it? Would a newbie stand a chance of completing the story mode? And is it worth it for someone who doesn’t do online play?

Not hard even on veteran mode it’s just all about hitting the next checkpoint. Best for campaign play in no particular order.
World at war
Cod 4 modern warfare 1,2,3 the originals
Infinite warfare
Black ops 1,2.
And the two new modern warfares especially the first

If you talking online I would go with modern warfare the original

Bought it today. Any good?

I was going to get Fifa23 but it's been slated.

Really enjoying invasion mode if you can dodge the snipers. No hardcore yet is a bit of a bummer as that is my go to mode. Campaign was fun and co-op is ok not played that with anyone I know yet so that could improve

About as challenging as taking a piss. A cutscene riddled piss.

World at war on veteran when it first came out was ridiculous took me ages complete due to grenade spam from the ai and the fact they never missed a shot. Day after I completed it they patched the nade spam out. Spec ops on the new modern warfare are insanely difficult as well due to ever spawning enemies and only one level having a checkpoint. Outside of that they are just a standard shooter. Challenging shooters are wolfenstein, doom (one you master the glory kill chains it does get easier) and halo 3 on legendary made me never play the game again.

The COD campaigns have pretty much been a bit of a joke since the early days. As soon as they became flooded with cutscenes, ‘hoorahs’ and the other nonsense the franchise went downhill for me.

I prefer the challenge to be more thought provoking rather than how many bullets or damage you take. That’s why I prefer the Half Life games and think Prey is one of the best shooters in recent years.

I’m not much for souls games either. Spending 10 mins clearing a checkpoint then getting one shotted doesn’t make a game difficult in my opinion, it makes having to do it all over again repetitively shit.

Each to their own though.

I dont disagree i massively enjoyed ghost recon wildlands and titanfall 2. With one being critically acclaimed and the other being a bit meh according to critics.

On core they are a nightmare at least with hardcore you stand a chance of nailing one of you throw a few rounds their way. It’s back this week though so hopefully it will be all modes as I’m really enjoying invasion and ground war.
