...and 6 months later...

jk

Hope they do it within the week.

Funny thing is, it's been reported that if you delete the patch data saved during first playthrough the bugs will be fixed.

Its invites for pete's sake; something so freaking basic. What the f*** is the meaning of this nonsense? This is the same crap that made me vow not to get borderlands. Fail.

komp5291d ago

I mean to post this here not in Open Zone.

"There is a MAJOR issue with this game.

Listen to the BluRay Drive as the game is playing (I have only seen MP)

The disk is constantly READING and STOPPING.

This is gonna cause lots of failures and its not SONY's fault."

deadreckoning6665291d ago (Edited 5291d ago )

Why the patch? PS3 fanboys said it was best version of the game. I believed it too.

Edit: OMG, why are so many of you running in to downplay or defend this. Geez, are u guys THAT sensitive about the topic? Already, I'm hearing things unrelated to the article such as the short length of the campaign. U guys gotta downplay this somehow huh?

"The people who speak the loudest are the ones who know the least"
I've seen both versions already and guess what, there BOTH THE SAME. No better, no worse.

WildArmed5291d ago

I think the bug was caused because of the stupid patch they did to stop poeple from getting trophies before release date

PainisCupcake5291d ago

Cobblers, the trophies don't work is just because of a bug, ironically caused by that last minute bug fix patch lol

locos855291d ago

They better hurry up with the patch. It's stupid how a common feature doesnt work. Come on IW Party invites????

Unfortunately game development just doesn't work that way. More than a few times here at work, we were fighting to meet a release date, which meant the qa department would be sent the build with very limited time before the final gold master build would have to be sent off. They probably follow test cases and what not, but the size of the qa and the amount of platforms being developed for affects how much they can test.

From personal experience, bugs that rely on more than a single player start to slip in games that fight for a release date, since the team starts working very individually. So if the testers aren't well organized, an issue that would require multiple testers to find it could slip.

You'd be surprised how easy it is for an issue to slip through. I think the last 5 projects I worked on were delayed a day or two because a major bug was found at the last moment. Not to mention, if you test a changelist you will almost always find a new problem caused by a fix.

So...
Are you finished with the single player now?

DavidMacDougall5291d ago

I completed it like 2 hours ago lol

It was good. Played out like a movie and was the same length

Karlnag35291d ago

I paid £45 for this. The RRP is £55. That considered; I really don't expect this to happen. Ever.

(by this I mean needing a patch to fix party invites and trophy problems not minor bugs... obv that will happen but trophies and party system should just work.)

Ares84PS35291d ago (Edited 5291d ago )

Patch is comming on friday. That's not soon...that's a few days later. Soon is in a few hours.

Anyway, now we can see that which version did IW pay attention to to make sure it works perfectly and which version was neglected.

Also IW released a patch to block PS3 users to get trophies until 11-10-09...unfortunately to many PS3 users the patch is still in effect even though it's almost 11-11-09. The patch created a lot of problems.

Yet the 360 version of the game was never patched to block achievements. I wonder why is that?????

Also how dare we expect a product to work fine when it releases??? How greedy are we??? I mean if you get a car and crash it on the first day,....and get into a wheelchair, don't blame the company...the car just came out. /sarcasm

BX815291d ago

Really? That sucks. I know bots and droids are staring eye to eye on the DMZ, but I would never wish hard ware failure due to piss poor testing on anyone!

RetroPietro5291d ago

i dont want my beautiful ps3 to die

ambientFLIER5291d ago

Isn't that the streaming thing they talked about??

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G270d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood270d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G270d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade269d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty269d ago (Edited 269d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality269d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator268d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G269d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy85270d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai270d ago (Edited 270d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G270d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo270d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg270d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast269d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
