Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Steam Pre-Orders OPEN - ROFL

Same, well as in I get bored of playing through again so have only done it a couple times with huge gaps inbetween.

But I also will be getting it at some point mainly for the SP, as COD games have generally always had the best SP experience(or amongst the best) since the first game(barring COD 3, and possibly 5). MP is an add on, I've always regarded MP as an extra, with most games MP being dull as hell, flat out crap or too easy. Theres a few exceptions, UT's single player was always an add on to the multiplayer obviously, its nothing more than a tutorial for MP.

COD 4 MP was incredibly poor anyway, I can't see why people are getting upset over consoley MP(spammy, uber quick and pointless overcrowded maps with "special attacks") being made more consoley. IF CS:S 2 was released without dedicated servers, sure, I'll join the march through London in protest, or at least photoshop a pic of my head onto someone in the march to make myself feel less lazy about not actually going.

But I wouldn't protest Halo 3 eventually being on the PC and having consoley MP with it. Thats all assuming the matchmaking would be awful or the friends list way of doing private games for clans and whatnot is terrible. IT doesn't seem to have occured to anyone that, when you join a nice game with a 10ping for you, and everyone in there has a sub 50ping, that maybe theres more than enough people with decent connections to play the game P2P without lag. It might work great, I think one of the downfalls of it was OPF2 just came out with incredibly badly done MP thats laggy as hell, the difference being, the whole game is a mess of crap, expecting the MP to be perfect would defy logic. A good company that makes good games, might just make a decent MP without dedicated servers, or, it might be turd.

Of course if IW screw up the single player in the same mannor, lose all the atmosphere of previous Cod incarnations I'll be angry as hell, as long as the single player is a fantastically atmospheric, fun to play decent storied single player, well thats the COD franchise right there.


Even so, pre-ordering on steam for more than you can get the game almost anywhere else is just daft.

It's abit far fetched to say MP is too easy, once you find a decent server it can be a very good experience.
But i do agree its too emphasised on special attacks.

Too many explosions/grandes etc to have fun at times.
 
Am I missing something? The steam price matches the prices of most online retailers now. I know there is one still selling at 24.99, but the rest I looked at are still at 34.99.
 
I'm surprised. I'm sure I read somewhere that Activision were enabling a "global platform price" for this game of £44.99 which meant raising the PC version UP to this price, too. Therefore £10 cheaper than I thought. But I was expecting some kind of pre-order bonus - like get Modern Warfare free. :(
 
It's a shame so many people are labelling it an awful game without even trying it, predictable from some of the reactionary people in the community though, crying over spilt milk. I'm still going to be buying this, I think the SP is worth it alone, doubt I'll be getting it on PC though seen as there will be hardly anyone on it now.

PC gamers are hilarious, 'I'll just wait a year until it comes down by £10'.

I don't blame you mate it really is a big investment decision lol. How is that £1,000 gaming rig anyway....?

i can understand the problem from a 'clans' point of view with regards to the multiplayer but speaking for myself i'll simply wait until i get proper feedback from PC gamers who have tried the MP online, then i shall decide whether its right for me.. some act as if its the end of the world !!!
 
im starting a petition for IW to reduce the amount of hard drive space required for the game

16GB?

thats far too much

whos with me?
 
I only play games for multiplayer at the moment so no interest in Sp.

If no dedicated servers means no Promod etc then not worth a buy.
 
I really want to play the SP but won't be buying it because of my views regarding Activision's decisions for MP (which I don't even play).

Unfortunately those who hold these views but still buy them game are akin to those who don't vote during elections as 'one vote doesn't matter'. If everyone thought this way we might as well keep our bottoms permenantly lubed-up.

Pre-ordered for £24 a while back. I won't be cancelling because of the MP as the SP is all I'm really interested in nowadays.

Same here. I don't give a stuff about the multiplayer - don't think I've actually ever played any of the CoD series online at all.
 
They might as well just stop advertising multiplayer as part of the PC game tbh and just flog it as a cheap single player experience.
