real shame, was looking forward to having a bash on this tonight! I cba to download the extra 8gb or whatever it is, such a waste of bandwidth.

If anyone doubts the amount of hacking in the game... should try jumping in now

not seen a single game without 1-2 people with silly scores like 62-1.

My updating status has just gone from 70% ish half an hour ago to 40% :-/ I think there are more updates after the update

ordinaryjoe · 9 Apr 2010 at 02:36

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

Sure, and had i bothered to dl it myself, it would've been to try out the SP, because i'm sure as hell not paying for it. Which i suspect is the reason for the majority of the dl's.

Its glorious aint it. I tried it for a couple of games at my gfs and there was at least 1 hacker in each. And of course, no way to get rid of them :rolleyes:

Thats a good shout, though haven't they spent loads on advertising in the media for this dlc?

iirc the advertising budget for the launch was over 4 times the total money spent developing the game :/

Is this the sole weekend deal this week then? :/

That doesn't answer my question

They always have the odd deal on there with a few quid off one game or other. Special deals (mid week or weekend) usually have more fanfare and a more impressive discount

And sometimes they don't announce the proper weekend deal until Friday evening UK time.

Going to play this to see how bad it actually is, no dedis laoel.

jrwagh333 · 9 Apr 2010 at 12:23

Downloaded it and cant even connect to any game. Any OCUK private matches going on that I could join?

they'll be there regardless of if they're weekend deals or normal deals...

Yes I know

dirtydog · 9 Apr 2010 at 12:36

And we still don't know if this is THE weekend deal or if there will be a better one this week. Because it might not be announced until later today.

Load of garbage.
