Post MW2

After getting the platinum for MW2 my obsession really kicked in.  I ended up going to blockbuster and renting Terminator Salvation and Hanna Montana The Movie (which I told the guy at the counter was to keep my niece entertained while she was visiting for the weekend) (I don't actually have a niece).

By the end of the weekend I had the platinum trophies for both these games, and was looking for my next fix.  I decided to see what cheap games I could find on eBay.  I ended up purchasing Quantum of Solace, Far Cry 2 and Mercenaries 2.  Far Cry 2 and Mercenaries 2 were sold again almost as soon as I got them through the mail, however I did hang onto Quantum of Solace.

I was done with the single player story rather quickly, however the online multiplayer part required me to 100,000 credits, which took me much longer to do than expected, as there is seldom a lot of people online, and also I got bored of the online  game play rather quickly.

After that came a summer in London where I ended up borrowing games from my boss and another friend.  By the end of the summer I had added the Assassins Creed 2 and Heavy Rain platinums to my list.

Once I got back from the summer break I signed up to LoveFilm and started renting any games that seemed to have an easily achievable platinum trophy.

My current trophy count is: 852 Bronze trophies, 249 Silver trophies, 78 Gold trophies, and 15 of the obsession fuelling platinum trophies.

The games I am currently working my way through are Prison Break, and Shrek Forever After.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

After Red Dead Redemption, I decided it was time to try and get all the trophies for MW2.  I had already played the single player campaign all the way through, so I had all the story related trophies.  I now needed to complete the campaign again on veteran, collect all the Intel, collect 69 stars in special ops and do all the miscellaneous trophies.  The veteran campaign was not too hard and took me about two days to do.  I then replayed the game again on the easiest setting just to get all the Intel and miscellaneous trophies.  All that was left for me to do was get the 69 stars on special ops.

This is the part that took me the longest time, with some of the ops being really difficult and annoying to complete, obviously for the two player ones I needed the help of a friend.  After a few days of playing he finally managed to get into the FPS game style, and so I decided to use his help by doing some of the really difficult ops as two players rather than alone, getting him to follow behind me and revive me in case something went wrong.

After about two weeks of playing and trying the special ops, I finally managed to get my first platinum trophy.
