How much was the release day shipping?

Still don't know who I should pre order from. Probably going to do it today. I'll be on the ps3 and a cod noob but got a lot of experience playing socom. Hope to see you guys around online.

LOL @ all the PC related questions and the ones they choose. I know for a fact people submitted very easy but detailed questions and they skipped them. Also nice job beating around the bush on specific questions.

I just read through the whole thing and all it turned out to be was PC based questions.... lawl.

Seems like a lot of questions were raised on how you will be able to play with the same group consistently and clan practices. Have these guys never heard of:

1) Private matches
2) Parties

Thats what us console guys do. If we just want to play an unranked game with our own clan members we just set up a private match. And to stick with one group, we start up a party and migrate from one match to another, automagically.

As for clan vs clan battle, I haven't read much on the details, I am sure they have setup something like Killzone where you set up a time and the server creates a room for you at that time. If they haven't implemented this, that would be a HUGE miss by IW.

They way "clans" play together on consoles is fairly poor. You have to understand how there are whole mini communities built up around servers and clans on the PC.

I'm a non clanner but I play with 3 or 4 buddies so honestly this whole dedicated server thing isn't much of an issue for us but we're used to playing on clan servers and playing with the same people. IW has this whole level playing field thing. Most don't want that.

9v9 as a max is a joke btw. We're in 2009 almost 2010. Get with the times IW.

Quick edit - I missed this when reading it quickly this morning:

Mackey-IW: I've been playing mainly with around 100ms ping and it was great.

That is just unreal.

What kicks ass is now your kills carry over from round to round.

I.E. if you had 2 kills in round 1, and then get another in round 2 without dying, there goes your UAV.

I can't believe they are going to have the Barret .50 cal and the Intervention available from the beginning. That is going to be a sniper's dream come true.

Also when they mention "Secondary Weapon" does that mean, I can carry a sniper rifle and a shotgun at the same time?

If that is the case, I am going to be in heaven!!!!

[MmmmBeeeeer]

The winning kill replay at the end of each round is pretty cool.

What were the boxes that appeared top center in part of the match? I couldn't make out what they said.
