Somehow, I doubt Call of Duty is popular around these parts, but I'll give this a shot anyway. Is anyone getting BO2? I'll get around to it (the line was WAY too long at EB anyway). I'm still a fan of the series, but I tend to wait for price drops/sales now. Or get it for Christmas. ;)

If you're a fan, what's your favourite game? campaign? mode? CoD4 is my favourite campaign, but I love spec ops from MW2 & 3. (Zombies gets boring after a while.)

BONUS QUESTION: Did anyone get a PC copy that ended up being Mass Effect 2?

Probably going to get it for christmas.

Been more of a fan of the campaign then I should. It's really good for spectacle and event, but the sheer nuts and bolts just aren't that well done. For multiplayer I'm more into Halo or Battlfield, because I've always found that they do balance and varied gameplay more effectively.

Highlight has to be the Special Ops mission where you have the guy on the ground, and the guy in the chopper providing firing and visual support. Just incredibly well done asymmetrical gameplay, with effective integration between the two vastly distinct roles. Needs to be borrowed and developed upon as a concept by better developers.

Right now shooter wise I'm waiting on Halo 4. Ordered myself and my sister a copy (she's probably a bigger fan than me tbh), but I fucked up the billing vs order address for her which I needed to clarify, and despite everyone else ordering from the site getting the game a day earlier, we're still waiting on it.

Actually getting pretty irritated at this point, need to call them up and chase my order.

Yeah, I need to get on the Halo 4 train myself. I've actually never played Halo, whereas I've stuck with CoD since 4, but Halo 4 looks so good. I was tempted to get it today but again, big EBGames lineup. Hope your copy comes in soon!

I know what you mean about liking the campaign. I liked Black Ops' so that part of BO2 appeals to me. I'm not a fan of CoD's MP, so at least they have zombies and spec ops and the like. (And actually, the mission you described is one of my favourites.)

Highlight has to be the Special Ops mission where you have the guy on the ground, and the guy in the chopper providing firing and visual support

Lol, which one do you mean? There've been like four or five spec ops missions with a guy on the ground being supported by a chopper gunner - more if you count both games.

Wait...you got ME2 when you ordered Black Ops? That's wrong! I hope they exchanged it for you with no problems? (And quickly?) :/

(Sorry, I haven't played CoD though. I always think I should...but there's a lot to catch up on.)

LOL, no I didn't, but apparently for some people who had the PC version of BO2, when they go to install disc 2 the content is actually... Mass Effect 2 instead. XD

Apparently EA and Activision employ the same disc manufacturing plant, but it's still a hilariously epic fail regardless. ;)

(Honestly, if you just want to play the campaigns, I'd say borrow or buy super cheap if you can. The campaigns are 4-8 hours depending on the game, so you'd only get longevity if you play other modes, like spec ops, zombies etc etc. And multiplayer's probably not worth it if you're not a fan of the CoD crowd of 12 year old dudebros and/or playing one of the two newest games.)

Oh wow, hahaha. Good one EA! (Oh lordy would I be pissed if that happened to me. I'm glad you were spared.) At least they were giving away free copies of ME though? That was good of them.

(Where would one start if they just wanted to play campaign? Do all the games tie together? Wikipedia is telling me there are arcs so does one just start at the beginning of one of those arcs? Do all the different arcs have their own set of characters? ...IDK anything, lol, but campaign is all I would be interested in.)

There's a couple separate arcs... World at War (WWII setting) is somewhat linked to Black Ops (Cold War setting) which, obviously, is related to BO2 (futuristic). You'll see a few repeat characters, even though the games are like, decades apart. Haha.

Modern Warfare, MW2 and MW3 are unrelated to the WaW/BO games, but obviously linked to each other... but their timelines are much, much closer together than the former. They have their own set of recurring characters :)

I like both storylines myself (can't say for BO2 yet), and found MW a little easier to get into when I started out... WaW & Black Ops kicked my ass a bunch more, haha.

Sounds like Modern Warfare might be a decent place to start and is pretty self contained compared to the others. Hmm. Idk if or when I'll get around to playing them (and I can't afford to buy them right now with Christmas coming up) but I'm going to keep this in mind. Ty for the answer!

One of my buddies from my old job just reported getting a copy that was Mass Effect 2. Is this a common thing?!

Activision claimed it wasn't a *huge* problem, but all PC copies of BO2 apparently come with a Steam download code anyway, so I guess even the ME2 mistake wasn't a huge deal... unless you have a shitty connection. =P

I still find it hilarious that of all the games to mistakenly put on the disc, it had to be an EA one. XD

Brothers got it. When i'm done with Assassin's Creed 3 i'll give the campaign a spin. The multiplayer not my thing though.

Definitely picking it up. Today, probably.

This'll be the first CoD I haven't preordered in ages, mostly because I didn't care for any of the pre-order bonuses (as opposed to the awesome toys that came with Blops and MW2, and the discounted Elite membership that came with MW3). Also, I worked the night of the release, so I couldn't attend the launch party :/

That said I have a fondness for the campaigns, and I hate spoilers, so I try to get around to playing them as soon as possible (I beat MW3's the night it launched, which was for the best, since OMG SOAP kept pouring in right after).

Agreed that CoD4's was easily the best, though.
