Scans please!:D

[[MyIS]Spawndemon]

Scans please!:D

Magazine scans are illegal. ;)

There'd be no point in buying the magazine if everyone just could look at scans.

[Alm()nd J()y]

Only fly in single player? Gay.

[1Bravo]

Should be fun to call for air strikes in MP though. I hope it can be used ;)

[Micster]

Sounding great. :D

[[IS]FallenMorgan]

I hope the ranks and unlocks are only within gamerounds like in ET, I don't want to see the bf system in cod. :(

The points for the engine, like performance and loadtimes, are interesting.

[St.Sasquatch]

DAAAAAMN!!! now im 148% sure im going to buy this!!! :O rank! <3 :P im such a rank whore. i never succeded in BF2, but in 2142 im almost brigadier! almost all awards! :D poor me! in Resistance: Fall of Man too! pretty high! pretty many awards! :D

By the way: is this for PS, or does the PS3 verson have this too? are they the same?

Who says it's "your way"? :P

When you look at the forerunners, there are jsut match-ranks.

[[IS]FallenMorgan]

Uh...huh

Anyways, what I would like though is if they had different ranks for each team, like the US team will have US ranks, the russian team will have russian ranks, etc. instead of just one type of ranks

hey're referring to the Game Informer article that mentioned there may be unlockables in Multiplayer.

Keep in mind everyone, that the Game Informer article was about Single Player, not Multiplayer. Although they did get a glimpse at some QA Testers playing some MP, they made it pretty clear that they haven't got to see any MP hands-on. We're not quite ready to talk about MP at the moment because we're still fine tuning and tweaking.

A look at multiplayer will come a little later, right now the article was all about SP. Don't worry though, we are not making a Battlefield game. This is COD, and will always have the feel and gameplay from COD that we all know and love. Yes, there will be improvements, improvements we'll go further into detail with a little later, but we have always been mindful throughout development on making sure it was balanced, fair, and still a quick and easy game to jump into no matter if you've been playing for 6 months or just picked it up.

Just wanted to calm some nerves before all the crazy talk started that its going to be another BF, because it won't. Theres lots of cool Single Player details throughout the article though that I think you guys are really going to dig.

So all that stuff about MP in the original news post isn't true according to him.

[Kadath]

Hehe, it's not a battlefield(global ranks) it is a CoD(match-ranks). But it's enought time to adjust everything so we should wait for something official.

if i was to make a list of all the cool things i heard there, i'd say:

which yes, was everything.

[Kadath]

What I haven't seen untill now is the weapon customization. I hope it's changeable in the game itself, like in r6v and crysis.

[InsaneCheeseMan]

I'm interested in the destructable enviroment part. I mean I hated the sniper in CoD 2 because the only way to get them was to counter snipe or clear each building until you got to his, which was a moderate annoyance let me tell you. With destructable enviroments I can see it now; "Oh crap! Sniper on the third floor!" *One TOW missle later* "What third floor?"

:cry: I'm sad now, lol

[thejeran]

is this for PC?

[Kadath]

Even if the unlocks are only rounds-inside?

[hurricane04343]

Eww, unlocks and ranks. I've lost two thirds of my interest for this game to be good, just by that.

...

Read my post on the second page

[sR Dukefrukem]

ah so it is confirmed for PC? thats awesome.

do you think they will ever port COD3 to PC?

[Kadath]

I would say 100% no. You can't release CoD3 after 4. ;)
