Back In Action!!

Before I begin I have to state that I love my parents so much. This has been are hard three weeks without any gaming system but finally the storm has cleared and my gaming life is back. Not only back but improved! Sorry Microsoft but since you failed to replace my Xbox 360 after its tragic death to the red circle, I have upgraded to the Sony PS3. See how quick you can loose a loyal customer?

With that being said Lets Begin!!!With its Release date scheduled for tomorrow, it is only right that I blog about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. With the first being one of the greatest games to ever be released, the is much anticipation for this game. Pre-Sale copies are at high numbers and stores are expected to be sold out fast.

I even have friends who are discussing camping out to be one of the first to get the game. This is something I thought I would never understand until this game was released. Will I do it, No, but if I had a tent, money, and didn't have to do this blog (lol), I would think about it.

The online network is about to be going crazy come the November 10th release date. This only adds to the feeling of doing the right thing for leaving my xbox behind. Who would charge a person to play a game online that they already bought. OUTRAGEOUS!!! But with this free network with PS3, I am going to be a beast in the game just like the Celtics are in the NBA (had to add that in here since they are 6-1)

There are a lot of new missions and different activities in Modern Warfare 2. It has this Special Ops mode that allows your to do special missions outside of arcade and campaign mode. As you collect stars, more missions become available. There are about 69 missions in all and if their anything like the first Modern Warfare, its bound to be filled with greatness.

Weapons on this game have advanced. Through reading different reviews, yes some stores couldn't hold out until the release date, the gun are a lot better. With game play being about the same as it was on the firs modern warfare; might i add that the firsts game play was unique, unlike any other, great! Many people hated using the shotgun with a secondary weapon being a pistol. On Modern Warfare 2, you are able to take the custom slots and create better class gun selections. Shotgun with SMGs, SMGs with Rocket Launchers, etc. In the end, pick a gun, aim, and hope for the best, lol. Also, there are so many attachments for weapons this time around. Even better perks to upgrade the perks from the last game.You are also allowed to run around with a protective shield. Everyone has seen a swat type show where the bust out the van with a big shield to guard them, this is what you now have in the game. Their are also grenades that you can throw and will stick to anything. Great weapon to have in online play.

This a game that is not to be played on a same big box television that your brother used when he was in college 10 years ago (no i am not speaking about my tv). This game should be played at its best. Big screen, 40 inches or better, LED Backlight, HDTV input, Surround sound, two red bulls, and a group of friends who love to kill each other and talk shit should all be present at the time of game play.

With all that said, I must now call that ex-girlfriend and ask her to buy me the game tomorrow!

  1. I'm sorry to hear that you've given up on the XBox! I understand your frustration over being charged for XBox Live, but I think that we get what we pay for - it's simply the most expansive and user-friendly online service in gaming. Come back to the light when you get your Box fixed!

    I have to admit - I'm not a fan of FPS on consoles. I think that point and click kicks a controller's ass when you're trying to shoot someone. Maybe that's from trying to play Counter-strike on my XBox when I play it on my PC as well! My cousin is obsessed with the CoD franchise, so I hear him talking about it all the time. He plays it on XBox, or I would send out his gamertag if you were interested in another online competitor!

    Work over that ex, and have fun with the game!
