Yeah, see the title of the thread for more info :rolleyes:

/re the UI itself. It seems nice but in the quick look I've had at it I can't find a way to make the games list display in a really small/minimised way anymore. Am I just missing something?

I like it, I'm gonna hold off on the download for a bit though i think.

LOL!

I'm just about to give this a try. I assume it's by going to the Beta participation thing in Steam it's self?

Sorry, was my thread title misleading?

Do you use Steam reguarly?

Aye.

I wonder if they will celebrate the launch with another mega sale!

Squark · 24 Feb 2010 at 10:40

Nice, you can add your own categories to organise your games list with, not just Favourite/Non favourite

I would like a compact window like in the old version though

scooby555t · 24 Feb 2010 at 10:42

whys it downloading mw2 mutiplayer again stupied thing

ic1male · 24 Feb 2010 at 10:43

Has the in-game overlay changed? I haven't checked that out.

K1LLSW1TCH · 24 Feb 2010 at 10:44

Ohh dear. Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer needs to download again... Time remaining: 5 hours.

I feel sad now. But hopefully the shiny newness will counter-balance it in a minute when I stop crying.

Also, the new interface is a little sluggish for me but obviously it's still in Beta and not a representation of the final product which I'm sure will be faster than a very fast thing.
