I cant believe that people are still being so pathetic about boycotting the game, even on a free weekend! Its a great game to play online, you get the occasional cheater for sure but it hardly ruins it. 90% of games are lag free and its great entertainment. Talk about jumping on the hate bandwagon!
Oh and I have Bad Company 2 as well, both are great fun...is it cool to hate MW2 because you own BC2 or something?

yeah! surely if you hate something because they screwed your platform, the reports of MP are its **** and there are better games out there, your principles disappear after the mandated two months? whats wrong with you people?

I would have jumped at the chance a couple of months back.

I shall be giving it a miss now I have the other game.

>> Becuase MW2 needs more sales

Maybe they would get more sales if they dropped the price a little... I can't find it anywhere cheaper than the £40 day of release price.

I would gladly pay £20.... £15... £10....£5 for the SP game

Have you guys seen the CoD1/2 prices on Steam? £14.99 for old games - lol, they are really desperate.

This isn't working for me at the moment, pre-load working for anything else?

Also, is it ever possible to have a thread about MW2 without a war starting?

Because its not been out that long, plus its Activision. I just don't think I'm used to getting anything for free when it comes to Call of Duty. With the exception of Valve games, a fair few of the free weekends also come as a sort of cry for help with the devs trying to breathe new life in to a game. With the reported lack of sales and piracy issues, is this the case for Modern Warfare 2? Yes it could be down to the new dlc, but this never happened with CoD4.

piracy is definately an issue for MW2 as 4.7 million copies where downloaded illegally the last time I checked lol

I got both Mw2 and BC2, will never play Mw2 again!

No surprises there.

Is the preload working for anyone?

nope wont bother , its still the same crap when they brought it out.

apatia77 · 7 Apr 2010 at 19:45

It's still £39.99 on steam, are they having a laugh?

Pre-loading is working - it's not just showing anything. I just re-started Steam and got a message saying pre-loading is complete. 3965Mb.

Looking forward to seeing how this looks on the PC compared to the 360. May give some of the spec ops missions a run through with some mates.

I played this a bit on the xbox until bfbc2 arrived, then sold MW2.

Daaaveee · 7 Apr 2010 at 20:20

Also wouldn't start on the Steam Beta UI?

Just started preloading now anyhoo

ahh seams your right.

I think the preload on the old UI is borked. You'll have to use the old UI for the preload to work.
