my money is on that free demo being much more popular than the retail game as mp will be sh@ and sp will work with a crak.

Amen to that
this game will be pirated so badly i reckon.

I just played it at my friends house who works at eb, beat it in 2 and a half hours and all I can say about the single player is meh, its like the first mw but has those little ingame movies everywhere.

A few posts back, again with the absolute shit that console games online require no skill. Just because they're easier than PC it doesn't mean they require no skill.

By that logic, my mam, who isn't a gamer, would be able to pick up the game first time, go online and get MVP of a match, just like me? I have the feeling that wouldn't happen. But if it requires no skill, ANYONE could get MVP and play well and not need to practice to get good at it.

Since they are going to make loads of money from consoles, I guess they just dont care about PC platform anymore. This game now is more like an official console port with keyboard and mouse

 

[boise49ers]

Who are they playing multilayer with on the PC?

While this is a great question I have no answer for it. It also points out that neither do the people who are so convinced that it is going to totally suck.As I pointed out I don't play in clans or tweak the game in any way so this doesn't mean it going to suck for everybody.I agree for those of you that do, it will limit you and at the same time put your abilities on a more level playing field with the rest of us. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'll find out soon enough and draw my own conclussion.

I hear that. I can't get the controllers down enough to even get thru a level on single player. My son can go to a MP server and have about a 10 or 15 to one kill ratio. I have zero skill on Console , but hold my own on mouse/keyboard for an old fart any way.

i personally think console FPS is way harder than PC

We don't have the answer to who the reviewers are playing online with? Erm.... I think we do....

Do you know what a level playing field is? It is when everyone is given the same opportunity to win. The only thing that makes the playing field non-level is when someone cheats, which I'm sure will happen more often now that there will be no server admins.

Also, death streaks are not making it "a level playing field". It is the equivalent of giving the crappy players in the football game shoes that make you run faster. That's not level....

Of course they don't care, like i have said before, The game is going to sell whether the PC gamers buy it or not. The game is so mainstream there's going to be grandmas buying it when it launches. That's what happened to Infinity Ward, they woke up and realized that they had one of the most popular franchises, and realized that means they can give us as little as possible for a premium $60 price tag across all platforms. Because they know at the end of the day, they can leave us hardcore fan base and still make TONS of profit without even lifting a finger.

$60? lucky shits.

lol thats sad.... for us to hear that your dollar is as much as ours. I think I'll end up moivng over there in the end while all hell breaks loose over here.

Just on the News Right now. Texas Military goes on rampage killing 12 ppl and injuring 31 ppl. Our own SWAT attacking innocent people, thats what we have come to.

Has anyone read this article about MW2 and the new IWNet system with VAC?

http://www.fourzerotwo.com/?p=745

I basically like what they are doing, BUT I would still like see the ability for the community to run dedicated servers. I don't think the best idea is to be thrown into a server where everyone is supposedly on the same skill level. I like playing against players better than I am.

Moriarte: Ignoring IW.net, is the PC version a direct port of the console version?

Mackey-IW: No, PC has custom stuff like mouse control, text chat in game, and graphics settings.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

RAGE, the only calming thought is choking the guys at IW to death.

 

[mastrdrver]

Oh man text chat! I'm sold! Someone should have asked them if they just modded the console version.

I wonder if the game will make popcorn for me. That would really improve the gameplay experience for me.

that's because your trying to pinpoint your recticle onto someones face using your thumb on a joystick.. there is little precision. Some guys get really good with a controller, but TBH it's a pain in the ass for me.
