Any one else going to wait to purchase this game?

Posted by opdrams19 on Sep 8, 2012 4:28 PM

I believe I am going to wait until Christmas to purchase the game, and make sure that it works properly, or I will rent it before buying it.  I will also check some actual user reviews since I did not see any accurate reviews prior to the last game that was released in this series.  Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.  I do not want to purchase another substandard product for $60.

    Make sure that it works properly? I don't remember any problems with any other CoD I bought on release day. You can't trust user reviews anyway. It's just going to be a mix of people that are easily amused, and people that can't be pleased.

      I am getting BO2 for my Birthday on the 19th.  My mommy even got me the Hardened Edition because I have been a good boy.   I do my homework everyday and I do my chores every week.

    User reviews for the first few months of a game dont usally count since all the haters will be putting bad reviews and raging on forums while 90% of everyone else will be enjoying the game.

    If it had been IW made, yes.

     

    I already had bad feelings about MW3 yet I went ahead and paid full price for it, bad choice...

     

    Anyhow I already have it ordered so no waiting for me.

    I can understand where you are coming from after MW3... but I will say this. The time period after release and before Christmas are usually the best times for every CoD release. While there are usually updates that happen to fix issues early on... the game is still new to everyone. You don't see the exploits, no gun is OP, and the game is still fun.

     

    I think the exception had to be MW2, which was an utter mess after release and got better after the first several months. MW3 honestly was a lot of fun at release. There were a few minor gameplay issues, but it was still fun to play. Once the holiday season passed, the game took a turn for the worse and all of its issues were brought to light.

     

    This game looks like its headed in the right direction, I am going to be there day one giving it a go.

    mw3 was the first cod i didnt get straight away, actually waited until my friends told me what it was like.. yeah that worked well.

     

    as for blops2 nope no chance of preordering , and def waiting till i see the level in intergration elite has in the game before even considering a preorder/buying it on release day.

    Logic says I should wait for in-depth reviews but I know I'll be scouring kijiji and craiglist to get a hold of a copy a few days earlier than 11.13.12.

      Look just get the regular copy of the game 64.00 bucks instead of the CE its going to have its issues either way no matter what but at least you know the Devs are going to try and fix anything post launch every FPS game is going to be a pain in the butt, however you will still have a ton of fun.

        well waiting to see how more of the maps turn out, this thought process of small maps means less camping is trash MW3 just released 3 new into action maps where their first 10 sec everyone has died 3 times over. and the stragity is just to overwhelm the opposing team into their spawn to demolish them. evey time i play search and destroy every person is hiding around every cornor and every rock.

        I don't really care what edition I will get but what I meant to say is I will try to get a copy of the game so I can play Combat Training a few days earlier. It happens with every COD release and there are people selling copies of the game a few days earlier than the retail release.

          Never in the Philadelphia area, but definitely in the NYC and Seattle regions (these are where a number of the guys I play with are from).

    I can understand this concern given how MW3 turned out. Personally I never touched MW3 because I forsaw the trouble that was coming. Considering all of the internal troubles IW was going through and losing so many people yet never delaying once made me supspicious of what to expect. Also wasnt a fan of all the glitches and hacked lobbies in MW2 when it first came out. Treyarch on the other hand has been doing better since BO with keeping glitches and hacking minimal. Not sure about pc but I dont recall seeing any console game having any problems aside from occasional lag. I see some good times coming up with black ops2 so yeaah I preordered and will either pick it up at midnight or the next morning, never been a fan of lines personally.

    I pre ordered the Hardened edition, even tho its Made by Treyarch my least favourite developer.

     

    I just need my collection complete, and the midnight launch is a social event.lol, plus I need to play non stop at the start to make sure im able to pub stomp from that day forward.

    I would LOVE to go to the midnight release, but sadly I still have school, so unless the 13th is during a week off, I won't be there.

    Me too. I'm going to wait until Christmas or so in order to buy this, Borderlands 2 should keep me entertained until it comes out.

     

    It looks very, very promising, but I'm not going to go blindly into this after I was disappointed by MW3. It's like they took all of the bad things about MW2 and Black Ops and squeezed them into one game. The fact that it could never be discussed without some Battlefield 3 worshipper butting into the conversation and saying something stupid doesn't help much either.

    It's not like I've lost faith in Call of Duty. From what I've seen of Black Ops 2, they clearly abandoned this whole "logic" and "realism" thing to make the game arcadey and fun. They also said they'd be completely changing everything and re-examining the whole franchise.

    Just go get the game at the midnight release and bring home some beer, you'll never even notice that the game is tailored to a specific style but I guess we'll continue to eat what they feed us. Should be a good game though. R.I.P. Ghost.

    I gotta wait for my paycheck to come in before I can pre-order the Hardened Edition.

     

    Hopefully they don't run out.
