Its the same price as every other new release here in NZ, I recon Bad Company 2 will be better for multiplayer tho

BC 2 will be much better and also a great PC game. Dice will deliver after seeing what IW has done they can capitalize on it and make a mint.

Buying a game based on what others tell you(reviews included) would make you "weak" under your same logic. It works both ways. Life is about deciding who to trust.

negatory brother. The difference is the review is based on an unbiased system, from a professional. Also, im not getting it based on the reviews. Never do, it is just a nice fact to state.

Just for the record, that post was made in all good fun :toast:

The multiplayer is tight, and fun. The multiplayer previously was loose, but fun.

WarhammerTX · Nov 11, 2009

Not going to buy it now even if a later patch brings back dedicated servers I know where IW heart is and its not with the pc gamers. They should do strictly for the console kiddies now.

I love the average reader rating score.... that usually speaks more truth... lol

I support PC gaming community which this game is clearly leaning in the console community

But, its not balanced for lean. :laugh:

Mussels · Nov 11, 2009

lol lowest review ever

KainXS · Nov 11, 2009

That is the lowest reader average I have ever seen

lets take a look at some of these :rolleyes:

DIS IS DA WURST AME I AVE EVA PLAYED

Multiplayer is pathetic compared to COD4
Absolutely terrible.
9.5? Try actually playing it on PC
The Biggest Failure of 2009
More money for less

Its not that the game is bad, its just that its not worth 60 dollars in my opinion for a Call of Duty 5 Redux with less features and costs more than 5 did on launch, and the reader average shows that I am not alone with that thought.

IGN and Gamespot gets paid for some reviews on higher hyped titles I think.

Its not an unbiased system. Its based on advertising money. The same media giant fired a veteran reviewer because he wrote a review saying "Kane and Lynch" was a bad game. They had received a ton of advertising money for Kane and Lynch ads and after a warning to write a good review instead, he was fired for not saying good things about an advertised game.

I am not saying MW2 is bad but I am saying the review system on these sites are full of sh!t.

Even Toms Hardware did an article about the guy being wrongly fired and they are a really tame media source.

Lol, did anyone else from here post there?

Rapidfire48 · Nov 11, 2009

Those reviews are not just pc people. I know a few guys that have it and say even worse things about the entire game. I am glad I saved my money .

So did it need steam?

yes steam is a requirement

KainXS · Nov 11, 2009

no steam = your not playing lol :laugh:

Hybrid_theory · Nov 11, 2009

i personally have high regard for steam. no risk of losing the software. i dont have to install a crack to play the game w/o a disc

They could crack it of course. :laugh:

my only dislike with steam is when third party games screw up in offline mode.

Company of heroes requires a disk if steam is in offline mode - great, if your game came from steam you dont have one.

Lost planet (a steam exclusive) didnt even let you run SP in offline mode

i got lost planet with my q6600 i think. and i cant say i tried it in offline mode. i never use that really. i did for last remnant when i was at my cottage and on my laptop

I posted my steam name in sig so if u see that in a cod mw2 game. its me.

LOL When a crack is made and distributed by a release group it is a crack. If you choose to download the crack and use it, you are cracking the game with the crack given to you.

So when I said, "they could always crack it" I was saying they could download the crack and crack it(cracking a game with a crack). The "crack" has been available since weeks before launch as you probably already know.

SonDa5 · Nov 11, 2009

I bought this game because it kicks ass. :respect:

CrackerJack · Nov 11, 2009

Some screenies, would be more...... but this game is so awesome and i'm only on the training level.

System Specs, on the side
In Game Settings:
1600x1200
Everything else left to auto.. haven't mess with it yet
80-95fps (haven't seen it go below 80fps)

Mussels · Nov 11, 2009

is it me, or is the aspect ratio wrong in that second shot? everyone looks rather skinny

(yes, i opened the image to full size)

yeah, i just notice it too. I've took a few more with the same ratio, i'll fix the newer one's

Mussels · Nov 11, 2009

it looks like 16:9 aspect ratio on a 4:3 resolution

this game has gotten groundbreaking reviews, and ive seen the gameplay live: its golden.

Dont go by what other people tell you, about them not wanting to buy the game because of this or that. That just makes you weak. This equates to not buying this game = you are a weak person. Good day, Sir.

Empire Total War also got groundbreaking reviews.... Professional game reviews have gotten to the point where I don't trust any other than Yahtzee's..... (yes they are that bad)

You just said how the reviews are great, and that we should buy it, but we shouln't go by what other people tell us? lolwut?

Lastly, I am a weak person for standing by my principals and not supporting a game that I have been waiting months for? Uh... ok?.... that doesn't really make sense... but ok.... :toast:
