I've just really only started getting into FPS' for the PC. I've got CS:S and CoD4. And i must say that CoD 4 is much better (CS:S is too hard... ). I like the way CoD is set out, its a different perspective as there aren't many modern warfare games out (or maybe there are, but i haven't thought much of them..), as most I have played are based on WW2 - It gets a bit repetitive.

I really like the MP ranking system, but I think there should be more than 55 Levels

It's currently been great to play this game, I haven't played much single player though. I'm currently at level 23 after 12h 28m

Yes, what to do when u so high
If there is more levels than that they must make more weapons

I'm lvl 42 on 1 day and 2 h and some minutes

Get all the gold weapons

Leveling speed depends on gamestyle though, I'm at 39(½) after 19h 6m, but it could be way faster if I just played certain gametypes. For example, on my last HQ game I got some 2800 XP in one game. Granted, I did grind some specific challenges in the game, but that's more than a level either way

I'm fairly sure I'll have plenty to do after level 55 though. I'm actually looking forward to grinding headshots and kills with the various weapons in order to get all the gold plated models, and of course completing all the other challenges.
After level 55 you get to go into Prestige mode and do it all again

i think thats only on the 360 version. dont you have to unlock the maps on the 360 version? if so thats gay
Yay, dinged 55 a couple of hours back. In the end it took 1d10h of playtime. Now I guess I can start the search for nice public servers to hang out on regularly... hmmm.
Andy, what do you mean by unlocking maps? Xbox and PC the maps are all available from the get-go
i dont have a 360 but a friend of mine said you have to unlock the maps or something maybe i missheard

Yeah, or your friend doesn't want you ever to buy a 360 or the game...
not much chance of that lol, aiming with your thumbs? FTL

The host migration one is particularly worthy of note, since it means no more game closure if a host lags out or gets pissy and leaves.
And obviously more optimised net code means the chance of bigger games in the future. I can't wait til they introduce the bigger maps. Ground War is crazy enough

Yay, i like that one.
Yea, I wish ps3 had some of those additions/updates.
Quote from th84 :Yea, I wish ps3 had some of those additions/updates.

I wounder why they dont.
I really like the update. Seeing those planes drop the bombs when you die is pretty dam cool.

about to hit level 37 after about 18 hours. headquarters is such a cheap way to gain a lot of XP(easily 700 a game)

EDIT - Just found this http://www.n4g.com/News-116889.aspx

PS3 users will have the patch soon, apparently - well 3 or 4 weeks. Better than nothing!

Can't wait for the Host Migration (if that's in the patch, it wasn't mentioned) and the Killcams.
Well the host migration is okay, but it still results in a kick to the lobby. Not quite as fatal for the population of the game, but annoying all the same.

I've now seen the airstrike kill cam too, and it's pretty cool. Just a shame the levels aren't really big enough to show it off - the cam is on and off really quickly I think it'd look good over Bog though.

Ohhh I thought the host migration wouldn't end the game... that's disappointing!
That's what I was hopign as well, but I guess thinking about it that it's not possible.
If the games are hosted on a particular console, you'd need to find a way of transferring the game settings from the old host to the new host, and that could be considered an invasion of privacy and risk being called spyware.
Are they really hosted on the console? In Forza 2, if the host leaves the game, another player will take the place of the host.
From what I understand, yes the games are hosted locally by a random player. Hence all the host leaving issues. I guess it's easier to run that way to match pings per country and stuff. I dunno, I'm no techie

I've not played that much Forza 2 online so never noticed. Maybe the player doesn't host those ones directly, but just creates a new game on Turn10's servers, meaning it's only admin rights that are transferred rather than server settings.

In Flat Out 1 and 2 they do it to
