That just about sums up exactly what I'm trying to say in my posts. It's literally to the point where many missions place a "Follow" waypoint over the NPC. No thinking, just shooting.

This part contains spoilers:



Got a bit farther (thanks insomnia!) and I must say the missions that take place in America are downright epic. I've always wanted a game like this set in familiar surroundings, even if the story is a bit nutty (MAD anyone?). Have to say it was a missed opportunity for IW to cash in with some non-offensive in-game advertising - instead of Taco To Go they could have had product placement with Taco Bell for example. That's the right way to do in-game ads.

I dont really like the American missions, they seem to straightforward:

1. Get from Point A to Point B
2. Shoot every enemy you see
3.Hold position at point B

Only good mission was when you raid the White House.

raid the white house!!!

yes lets...

I just don't see how my fellow youths even in my country can get so hyped over a video game??? Really I have never broke down in tears over a game that just sucks, or a good game that I suck at.... I mean really I just see how you could get to that level? And I'm not someone who doesn't hardly play todays biggest games, I mean, I play allot of em! Ha ha but I don't see the point of self mutilation or destroy expensive software just cause you had emotional moment on a over emphanized aspect of your life, I mean crap dude, it's a video game for entertainment, not like you found out your secretly adopted or ur birth certificate is messed up. You have the reciept? Take it back and stop going crazy! It baffles me how some kids act like that these days, not enough life in their lives, to much time to focus on unimportant things like this.

I agree, though sometimes I get really frustrated when playing and I turn off my PS3. Thats as far as I go.

Remember the first Ghost Recon that was so easily moddable? Missions easy to script etc.? Now that was real fun. If only there was something where the game play is exactly the same, a terrain modifier included and graphics improved. That would be truly epic fun.
The sort of fun you could have on the embassy map was incredible. You could set yourself up as Embassy Marines fighting off hoarde after hoarde of enemies including tanks and enemy arriving on trucks. You could create a scenario where you have to rescue some folks from the shot down helicopter. A scenario where you could be providing overwatch to an angry anti-American crowd in front of the embassy where a shooter could emerge and any civilian fatality would be a failed mission...
There were maps where it was mostly a stretch of road and I wrote a road block mission where most of the traffic coming at you would be civilian but occasionally there would be that one that is't so friendly and to make matters worse the map is a foggy map.
You could substitute the characters for your friends or whatnot. Create your own loadouts...
It was like FPS Lego.

I miss those days
Speaking of which I might get a collectors edition with the three original Ghost Recons sometime. I've lost my old copies ...

That kids got issues

I'm glad don't look at life through a video screen, I have goals, and just working hard and watching them fall into place brings enough happiness into my life, and by the good Lord above keeps me from freaking out like this kid. And yea, I am going to buy the game ha ha!

i own a ps3, and i have not gotten mw2, and this was the most overhyped game of all time, my friends made it out to be the seconded coming of jesus himself. Also their far better games out right now, killzone 2 and uncharted 2, both amazing, the game i cant wait to come out is MAG!!!! 256 players and true tactics! cant wait

Trust me, Killzone 2 is nothing compared to MW2. MAG might be good though...I wouldnt hold my breath, id expect a fair bit of lag.
