modded by yourself?
which one?

[Dkaris]

recon cs6

stretched spring
removed air restrictor. got it at work the other day, admittedly i paid full price ($50) but i figured id see how it went and if i like it ill buy some more during toy sale when their $30 and mod em and paint em.
Also may add a barrel to it, but ive been reading mixed reviews. some say do it good accuracy others say not worth it, plus i really want to practice using my air brush so i figure this will give me the opportunity.

[blackie]

haha im going to mod my recon this week :)
find a good increase of range with the removal of the AR?
did you also block up the bleedoff hole?

[Dkaris]

i havent had a chance to really test it ive fired a bit and it seems to give me good distance and range. Whats the bleedoff hole?

[blackie]

should be on the same part that had the AR in it. its only a small hole that needs a little plugging up
when i do mine int he next few days ill snap a pic :)

[Dkaris]

thanks. im too tired to take it apart now. i had some difficulty in the beginning but it was my own error. do send along a pic when you get the time tho

[Borgeman]

well, one for me :)

George

[blackie]

so george, when can i preorder :P

[Borgeman]

well tbh, on sunday (last time i worked) it wasnt in our system as the seperate editions, however i will be calling up my shop and finding out 2moror if we can preorder the big one yet (i mean it wouldnt matter for me, ill get one regardless of when i preorder, but for the masses it would be first in best dressed)

George

[Saintly]

so who works for EB? or JB? and can find out the price?

Release Date: Nov 10th, 2009

time to save up every penny you have, if it isn't an Eyeclops rebadge! it's going to cost a decent Fort Max -> http://www.nightvision.com.au/groups.php?page=Night_Vision_Goggles or http://night-vision.net.au/Home/tabid/319/List/0/CategoryID/1320/Level/a/Default.aspx?SortField=Free3,UnitCost

[Borgeman]

i work at eb, as soon as i know the price i will post here, though dont be surprised if they dont announce the price till september or something....

George

[Trailer Park Ninja]

Working night vision googles? That is seriously insane :D I've played the last couple and will probably find myself getting this as well. Dunno about the Prestige Edition, depends on the price

[Lock'n'Load]

If you want to see a picture of them they have a pic of the entire prestige edition on IGN. They look awesome but will cost a bit too much for me for one game, It's almost guaranteed for my best mate will get them so I'll just mess around with his.:cool:

[Dkaris]

http://www.ebgames.com.au/xbox/product.cfm?id=15331&refer=productsearch

rrp $200

[blackie]

http://www.ebgames.com.au/xbox/product.cfm?id=15331&refer=productsearch

rrp $200

hmm
i can justify this
for the nightvision goggles XD

[Dkaris]

hmm they only have a range of 50 feet though

[blackie]

hmm they only have a range of 50 feet though

this is not so cool
still good for stalking the house but :P

[Saintly]

so around $70 for the NVG (hardened edition is $129.95 -> http://www.ebgames.com.au/ps3/product.cfm?id=15329)

PS3 version -> http://www.ebgames.com.au/ps3/product.cfm?id=15333

[King Atlas]

Got my copy yesterday (standard). Played a little of single player and multiplayer.

As impressive as I had expected (imho). Nothing really innovative over the last 2 cod titles, but there is hell of alot more variation, especially in create-a-class, with sooo many options.

Single player is crazy-fast paced and a bit more difficult. Also a new mode Spec-ops, special missions designed for co-op but also has single player missions (all seperate from campaign).

Multiplayer maps are much larger and well I can't tell you much about them since I havn't got used to them yet and only played 3 :p

Graphics are also overhauled. Each map is much, much more detailed.

If you like Cod 4 and WaW get it. If you don't...well there's always uno :p

[Dkaris]

I wish dad would get home with my prestige edition already. In other news.

one of the perks of working in the game and DVD section of target is seeing those joyful faces of 12 and thirteen year olds as they ask if they can pre order MW2. I love telling them that the pre order date has finished, they cant pre order it, and it they were real fans they would ave pre ordered it on time XD

The looks on their little faces like theyve just been crushed amuses me every time. =]

LOL, are these kids dumb? You can buy the game anywhere. Unless they were after prestige. But what 12 year old could afford to put down $200?

[jacksplatt11]

Our household should be getting it today, for PS3.. Hopefully

[Jet_Raid]

I don't have enough money for this freaking game. I can't afford $119 :(

Why do we have to pay so much for a game?

[Gutsman Heavy]

who would pay 119?

jb hifi are selling it for $89 on 360/PS3, $79 PC

[Jetfire]

I picked it up for $79 from GAME price matching KMart, Dick Smith is the cheapest advertised price at $77 :)

www.ecogamer.com

Who would pay the RRP (Recommended Ripoff Price) on games.. $120.. ridiculous

[Sleeve]

who would pay 119?

jb hifi are selling it for $89 on 360/PS3, $79 PC

My staff discount is cost price, but considering our cost price for both PS3 and 360 is $95, I'm buying elsewhere. I did the same for Tekken 6, picked it up at Big W for $85.

[jacksplatt11]

We traded in 3 old games we didn't play anymore at JB for it

[Jet_Raid]

I want this game SO BADLY!
