Make a new Steam account for it, something generic, and flog it on MM - there'll be a few people who'd like to buy it for SP only, then sell it on again.

As long as we keep passing on the Steam details, and actually stick to not using it again once sold, it should work OK?

I'll be getting it on the 360, although saying that, I'll have to get a pc version for my dad otherwise life wouldn't be worth living.
 
I thought the single player was great (it did feel a little bit Ocean's Twelve though, I have to say) and the multiplayer is awesome! I've probably played 40+ games, and have had two disconnects, and zero lag. I don't know why people are still criticising it when they haven't even played it... :p I have, and it's really good.

Its free because its crap!!! Its what people on consoles are used to. Not COD gamers. The lagg is unfkin believable in 3/4 of the servers its sticks you on. The game has been ruined. Its too consolfied. This will be the last COD i buy unless they get their finger out and get the PC versions back up to scratch

I suppose you haven't actually played it then? :rolleyes:
 
I was expecting it to be pretty laggy but the 2 hr session i had last night / this morning was fine.

Both single player and multi player are fun, tho mp would be better with dedicated servers if only for higher number of players.

I do think its too much of a console game now, but thats the way of things.
 
My verdict on it is that the whole game feels like an expansion pack or as they are now known, 'DLC', for COD4. There are no innovations anywhere - the only new things are new levels and weapons. Everything else is the same. It doesn't feel like a new game at all.

As for the MP itself, the levels are all very well designed but we've all been here before. Other than the new weapons, it's all the same as COD4, but without dedis and mods.

Given the total lack of improvements over COD4, you may as well play that instead tbh. I'm enjoying MW2, but it's no sequel.

There is a hell of a lot more stuff than just new weapons and levels.

Like what? You get a new SP campaign, new MP campaign and a new selection of guns (admittedly a high point due to the number and range of different ones.)

The graphics are simply the same with some bloom on.

You know this is pretty common of sequels right, in that they follow the same lines but just change things a bit?

Do you have any idea how long it would take to balance 16-20 new MP maps? There is no way they could've or should have added that as DLC or a patch to MW1 hahaha.

They've also done an entirely new 5-10 hour single player campaign, how is that an expansion pack to you?

I fail to see what you actually expected/wanted from this game or sequels in general if this is your outlook.

Sequels are supposed to improve on the previous incarnation. They're supposed to add new features and enhance the previous experience. Explain to me what in the way of new features and experiences there are in this game? We get new weapons, new levels, and a spec ops mode. That's it.

Look at HL2 for a proper sequel - new graphics engine, new enemies, new weapons, new multiplayer, new physics engine; it took everything that was great about the previous game and turned it on its head. But wait, there's more; same for Battlefield 2. Same for Quake 4. Same for Dawn of War 2. Same for DiRT2. Same for CS:S. Same for TF2. Same with UT2003. Same for the original Modern Warfare vs. CoD2.

Those examples all improved over the previous game in an obvious way; they presented a new and relevant experience to the player and are/were true sequels. This game does nothing it hasn't already done. I'm enjoying it but I feel almost short-changed.

Tbh I fail to see why you fail to see my point. It's quite clear the game is less than it could have been. Good sales makes lazy developers. They don't have to try hard. I expect an improvement over the previous game in a sequel - hardly an unfair assumption, don't you think? This is just the same game with some new levels. The improvements are few and far between, but the lack of dedis and mods feel like we've taken a step backwards.

after playing it on pc i feel like i might as well buy a 360 if other games follow this route will work out a lot cheaper in the long run. Just to consoley for pc really, basically is just a direct port
 
I have a question; I brought MW2 on Steam but the 16gig download is taking ages. If I were to buy the DVD would I just need to delete the content already downloaded and install it from the DVD? Or would I get some sort of conflict due to having two copies?

Indeed, I would have expected DX11 in this "new" "highly anticipated" sequel, there is no way they can justify the price of the game given the lack of changes to MW1
 
That's the thing for me with most of the COD games, apart from the first, which I liked a lot. When COD4 came out, I played it, thought it was a fairly decent standard type shooter but couldn't share the same higher level enthusiasm that was common place amongst friends and other folk. Fair enough that other people love the series but for me, if there's nothing else to play and the price is right then I'll buy it...maybe:D
 
lol at hacks basically cod 4 so it dont take long vac ban lollige :p

i actually laugh so hard when people say they dont see many cheaters :( :D

i was on a server other day and 30 people got banned in two maps. the amount of hacking nabs at all levels is unexceptable.

in last two matches i played in a certain league hacking mfers in both :mad: then one of the top teams gets busted with a hackinng nab in it.

it will be just as bad with vac as pb but you cant even kick in mw2 :D:D retards
