Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 discussion thread

[TheMailMan78]

Well if there was a way to lend a copy out I would be willing to review it. But honestly someone would have to bite the bullet which is something I am not willing to do.

However I will be review L4D2 when it comes out if yall are curious.

I heard of reviewers getting paid to give good scores or other factors for a good score but cant be on this scale could it?
Gamepowerup is a discussion for another thread but id be happy to see it back or even an expanded game section here.
Its not like im making things up everyone can read for themselves what the reviewers have universally said.

You can never trust a reviewer thats paid.

exactly if someone like mailman does a review its for fun, not because they get paid to do it
yeah id be interested if you could do more reviews that wolfenstien review was a good start if i remember back

mailman may drag things offtopic, but he normally doesnt insult members, or cause real trouble.

we dont expect everyone to be robots here, or all agree with each other.

Yeah, Go to a political blog if you want to see nasty. I just checked my UPS tracking , my copy is between Southern Cal and SLC, then hopefully on its way here to Boise tonight. I'm so bored with games I've been playing Quake 4 again for the umpteenth time. That is an awesome old school game though.

Quake 4 is not old school man. I don't even think it to be a Quake game.

 

[johnnyfiive]

quake 1 is old school, quake 4 was a poor excuse for the quake series..

Quake 1 is what I lost my online multiplayer cherry to. That game was pure win on so many levels. Nothing like hitting someone with the grappling hook and jumping off a bridge then waitting until they bleed out all the time axing people that run by!.

I even remember an old server I used to play on called "The Naked Death".

 

[ArmoredCavalry]

Well, the free full demo is now out.... On release day.... Boy good thing they required steam for protection....

COD MW2 is a sick game. infinity ward has some excellent devs. The new multiplayer kill streak customizable feature is nasty.

Wonderful Troll.

The new multiplayer kill streak customizable feature is nasty.

What is this exactly? It sounds cool, but the rest of the mp system seems to be a step in the wrong direction.

Wonderful Troll.

Quiet you! This is a MW2 discussion thread, not a everything has to be "this game sucks balls" thread.

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 ?!

Hello all,

I've had a quick look around the site, but I can't find a solution for the problem.

So - I insert disc one and it prompts me to download it through steam. Due to my shite connection, I decided to look on google to see if there is a way around it. Thankfully, there is a solution;

"Then I closed my Steam Client, so that I could still see it's icon in my notification area (Windows - lower right hand side). I inserted Disk 1 again into my dvd drive, and clicked "reinstall" once the menu appeared. The game then installed from my DVD drive, instead of from the internet. Hope this helps!"

Okay - So I do what he says. All is good and it seems to be installing, however - I'm at the end of the installation and it's been at this point for a good hour. I've tried canceling it and re-installing, but it still gets stuck at the same point. Any ideas?

 

[Jacko28]

Have you tried un-installing and then doing a clean install. I've heard that people are having problems with the Install Now actually initiating a "Activate Steam Product" for some reason.

But that's just what I've been told, Not sure if it helps lol

Should have bought for a console and if you don't have one you would have been better of pirating it. On a more serious note, maybe you should take your PC to a friends house with fast internet and download it there and then resume playing at your house.

Or try uninstalling it, restart PC, then reinstall.

Wait did I miss something....whats this all about?

Could it be the fact the game isn't released on Steam until tomorrow?

I have a console. I don't do pirating. You havent helped....

Thats what I was thinking. Bit silly though?

A release date for all platforms would of been better. Most likely you will have to wait another day.

Was just trying to emphasize my hate for this game and not actually help you, my Sincerest apology.

But as others have made clear now, it most defiantly cause the game isn't out on steam yet. Enjoy your wait.

 

[DaedalusHelios]

I know the single player will be a great experience but I will not be playing the multiplayer. I didn't on COD4 either though. I did on COD5 though. Thanks for the info guys.

I'm not going to tolerate any more of this crap in this thread. If you "hate" the game, go sign the petition and go camp out in from of IW with your pitchforks. Screaming, "I hate this game" over and over and over again in this thread is the equivilent of yelling at a wall. When someone needs help on techPowerUp, either give them help or keep your mouth shut.

The MP is amazing guys, trust me Im playing the PS3 version admittedly, but it

I would wait until tomorrow man. Installing it today might be causing some kinda conflict or something. However you could always click "cancel" then "verify" the file. Once you do that Steam will fix anything that was wrong with the installation.

But like I said, I would wait until tomorrow.

Ouch, your absolutely right, I am truly and utterly sorry for my actions. This thread has brought out the worst of me.
