I know a couple of guys around here that are getting it and I think It would be cool. I can down load the updates just fine. Heck I did a update last night.

Any highspeed internet will work fine. If your downloading at the same time you might get some lag. My buddy has lag sometimes, but his DSL connection isn't very good. He has a faster package than basic but the line quality is horrible. But it's not so bad that you can't play.

If you think I was being rude to them when I said they were arguing with me, I wasn't being out of the way or rude with them. I just asked them if they were selling it early and they acted like I was trying to steal or something. I simply asked, and then they said rudely that no one will get it until the 10th. I just stated that other game stops were selling it as of Friday and Saturday. The guy acted like I was lying and just being completely rude. I didn't literally argue with him, just saying they said they'd be FIRED! if they did break street date, I just said what I had read and what others were saying that they've already picked up their copy. That others should check if they could get theirs early also.

I didn't see the need to read the ****ing article again because I knew what it had said, until they updated it sometime in the past day.

It's still incorrect information. You were relaying unverified rumors which were just wrong.

Yes, I agree it was incorrect. Which I didn't know it was until just a little bit ago, but still that's what was going around at the time. But those people still aren't gonna be "FIRED" as he expressed.

[Diablo]

Woo! I got my game, poster, autographed game cover, and free hitman energy drink!

I'm copying the game to my harddrive

[cars4fun2004]

I got the game no poster no cover no drink my wallmart sucks they didnt know anything about it

[Diablo]

that sucks Was yours 24hr? Because every 24hr walmart was supposed to do it.

I was there since 7pm so I best damn get it. LoL

The manager guy told me he couldn't find the stuff for about 30 mins.

[Diablo]

The drink is in the fridge, and poster rolled up.

[cars4fun2004]

yea 24hr supper center and all that jazz they didnt have a clue. One of they guys that worked there looked it online and said ho yea we are supposed to be doing that. They took my number but I dont think it will do any good

[Splosion]

Its overrated!

[rusty10690]

cool autographs, bet you never heard of a single one of them hahahaha

[ZQ8 Blazer]

So me and my friend went to Game-Stop to wait in line for his Prestige Edition. The 1st people in line got there at 3:30, we showed up around 9 just because we wanted to see what all was going on. There were probably 75-100 people there. They had free pizza and pepsi/dew and were letting people play codmw2. About 11:15 I told him I was going to walk to Wal-Mart to see what was going on. Only 2 people were waiting in line. So I just stayed. They had posters but not autographed games . When I left there were maybe 20 people in line and this was a decent sized city too.

Here's the two Prestiges I've got up, gonna see if I can make any quick money I got just the regular game for myself.

I'd get in touch with the manager, because they were supposed to have them! It's not fair to you, or the other 19 people. Someone either can't find them, or someone stole them and is going to profit from it. So I would make sure they figure out what the deal was, because it's not fair to anyone!

Yes, I have heard of some of them. A few of them are my daddy, and then another is charles barkley, colbert, oscar the grouch just to name a few

Yea, I went to Walmart after class at 6:50ish. I waited at the electronics section by the register. I called earlier in the day to make sure they knew what was going on and where the line would be. I wasn't sure how many people would show up at Walmart. I knew many would be at gamestop. I just found out the same morning about the autograph so I figured since I'd be sitting at home or at gamestop with a friend I might as well go chill at Walmart to get a few cool things. So as I stood at the electronics register with my backpack and soda, people look at you funny as your just chilling in the same spot by yourself for about 30 mins. A few people asked if they could help me and I explained and they said oh yeah. Then after an hour as I'm about to sit on the floor and get out my laptop they told me they moved the line over to the Site to Store section. I go over there and they have 2 bench seats so I get to sit down. I'm surfing the net on my laptop through my iphone and a few people walk by and ask if I'm on the net, and a manager also asked. I think he thought I had unplugged the internet cable from the back of the hiring kiosk computer that was right behind me LoL. Because he asked if I was online and then peeks around to look at my screen and then asks me how I'm online. LoL

But anyways, I'm sitting there chilling and a friend was supposed to meet me and he called and said his mom broke down and then said he was gon eat and then come. Then around 9:45 he calls and says he has a paper due at midnight... Yeah okay, just tell me you don't wanna come. I was good enough to let you know about it. So **** em, But at 10pm 3 guys come over and ask if this is the COD line, I said yea. We talked for a few and they took my gamertag and said they'd be back. I never saw them again tho. Then at 11:30 about 15 people came in line. The first 5 I was talking to said they waited at electronics since 11pm. They asked how long I been there, and i told them since 7pm LoL. I wouldn't have if I'd known that no one would have showed up. But the thing was that no one knew about the autographed game cover and they were just there for the game at 12:01 About 60 people showed up by 12. I don't know why they didn't advertise the autographed cover. They have a MW2 page on walmart but there is no link on the site to it, I found it thru another site that was listing the best pre order deals. The website that I found was where I heard about the autographed cover earlier in the day.

Oh well, long ****ing post lol. I had fun, sitting in walmart with my laptop watching all the funny people.

[Fannatick]

lol...thats dedication.

I played the first MW, I liked it but didn't love it. I actually stopped playing about 4 months after I bough (for the PC). I heard in Worlds at War (is that the name?) that they went to more of an RPG character base. Either way, I kinda gave up on it because I don't play a lot anymore and I play Combat Arms (free and easy).

They called me 8:51 this morning and said that they had just showe up today. yea right. Maybe some one pulled there head out of there ass and they found them. But any way I went to wall-farts and got my cover poster and drink.

I was able to get on xbox live last night but I keepet getting kicked off. I am scoping out a new ISP. Claim to have a avg 1.5m down and 875kb up. With peaks of around 5 down. Dont know about the ping and they couldnt tell me. It has to be better then the 1020 I am getting now. Its a local deal and I know the guy that runs it pretty good. He told me that he has a bunch of gamers running on it so maybe it will be worth a dang. I sure would like to tell verizon to stick up there ass.

[sdime98]

pretty badass, my friend got it for the ps3 this morning...i'm gonna get it soon...played a little bit of it...badassedness. imo.

[Diablo]

Yea, around 10:45 the manager guy told me he spent 30 mins trying to find the stuff, but he found it and told me afterwards. I'm glad he didn't tell me he couldn't find it while looking for it, I'd been worrying after having been there so long lol. He was a cool older guy.



Everyone last night had probs on live. My friend and I got separated in our party because one would get disconnected and the other was able to play. I played matches for about 40 mins and then watched some tv. I'm about to play again, it might be a little better today. I figured there would be lots of server probs last night lol

[cars4fun2004]

Oh Yea I left out the best part. I got there at 10:45. Not a soal there. I figured there would be people there already but nope. At 11 A couple of cops walk in. One of them I know quite well. They are on duty. Are they out patroling. NNNNNNOOOOOOO. there standing at wall-mart wainting on the game to release so they can go play. Yeap thats right on duty. Well we stand around and bs and what not. Around 11:55 a shit tone of people show up. I am first in line and I get ready to get my game and check out. Mind you I have held up the line for like 5min now while they try to find out about the free shit. Thats when they started taking numbers. Then the girl ask for my I.D. I am like shit it is my truck. You gota be kidding me. Mind you I am 30 years old bald as a cue ball. full mustache and gotee with a 5 o-clock shadow that looks like I havnet shaved in 3 days. She says I gota check or I could lose my job. I like well we have a problem cause anybody can see I am not 16. Then my budy the cop says." You can let him have it. I know how old he is I have had to take him in a bunch of times." He say it load enough that every on standing there hears it. It was funny as hell you should have seen the looks on people face. A couple of them even backed up a bit.

Mike

[Diablo]

LoL! Yeah, the lady couldn't figure out how to accept my credit card, tried many times and it wouldn't work. So everyone behind me was like ahhhh the first guy is holding up the line. The few people behind me that knew how long I'd been waiting said, "he's been here since 7 he can do whutever." lol

But everyone ended up having to walk to the front registers to check out. I'm surprised the old manager guy trusted anyone, because everyone walked separately after they grabbed their stuff and walked to the front. I could have probably walked out without paying and they'd not even known.

But it worked out nice.

Pretty much the same except it's based on WWII. Had a Nazi Zombie sub game that became very popular. I liked Modern Warfare 1 but the new one is 10 x's better.

[Bootylicious]

just picked mine up last night and spent a few hours playing it in campaign and multiplayer.

the campaigns arent that bad, and multiplayer is pretty badass.....i've never played any COD before so i didnt know what to expect.

[cars4fun2004]

I tried to play xbox live last night. Laging like a biatch and I dint even make it trough one round before I was kicked from the server.

[Diablo]

I've lagged everytime I've played since I've been playing on live. It's so bad it's making me lose every single time I try to kill someone. I'll watch the reply and see that I came around a wall, saw someone and moved back behind the wall and then I'm dead. I see on the reply that it shows me still in plain view when he kills me.

[redngreedy]

I played from about 8pm, to 11:30ish last night. I had zero problems playing.

[blazerman]

same here. i wasnt getting mine tll next month but with the trade in deal at gs i had to do it. 10.73 for a new game.

[cars4fun2004]

I know what my issue is and it is all on my end. I think I may have a fix for it. But I am also talking to a new isp. I have spent around 500 on tower antinea and booster and still not getting constant evdo. When I bounce in to 1x is when I get kicked. The funny thing is if I can tay in 1x or evdo it is ok but the bounceing back and forth kills my conection. I found a way to lock the air card in to evdo. Now I am going to play with it a bit to night and see if it helps

I'm friggin serious. Now that I own both a 360 and a PS3 I don't know why the **** anyone would think a 360 is better. I've owned it for 5 days and today it went in the classifieds. I didn't know it but they make a 120gb 360 that you can compare to the 120gb PS3, they're the same price but the 360 comes with a headset!!! Oh wait the PS3 has a bluray player...

So everyone says the 360 is better, whats better? The only thing I like about it is the way the top of the analog sticks are shaped. I actually bought the 360 to play Left 4 Dead on and it's a fun game but the system is just not as great as everyone makes it out to be.

I guess since the regular 360 is $100 less we should start referring to the 360 as the Po' mans PS3
