just to confirm, the steam download will be unlocked at 00.00hrs on tuesday morning, right? I'll be gutted if not..

See for yourself, it has a counter:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/42700/

Unless that changes then yes it will unlock at 0.00 on Tuesday.

install> launch mp> set-up game> frag!

Have done the same with every cod game and i have them all.

always play through the sp but generally a few days after first installation.

as for ballistic knives and flamethrowers, they will have there place aslong as there well balanced, flamethrowers will be very short throw and ballistix knives i have no doubt will punish you severely if you miss, probably short distance with a dropping trajectory arc, either way i cant see them making or breaking the game.

Hopefully! Nothing can be as bad as MW2 and I got 700 hours played on that

Looks like this has been yarrrr'd. :/

£29.99 is an insanely good price though for a game in this franchise

Where is it that cheap?

mynamewontfi · 4 Nov 2010 at 13:14

i've just watched a load more videos of MP and the grenades are pathetic still.. It's like treyarch are using double gravity or something..

Giving this a wide berth looks pony.

They can be hurled pretty far IRL, ya know!

mynamewontfi · 4 Nov 2010 at 13:35

look at this complex chart i made to show the difference in Grenade trajectory between the two games:

According to this, the FOV is changeable, not sure if this has been mentioned before:

Will leaning return in the PC version?
DavidVo
Yes. On Q and E by default with a procedural lean. It looks great and works really great in hardcore modes if you ask me.

Good to have that back!

Fantastic news, no idea why leaning was taken out of MW2, just made it look even more like a rubbish port.

mynamewontfi · 4 Nov 2010 at 15:15

back to the roots i see with the leaning.. (COD 1/2/UO)

apatia77 · 4 Nov 2010 at 16:01

Does this game use steam own protection + punkbuster etc to keep hackers away?

mynamewontfi · 4 Nov 2010 at 16:07

it will more than likely use Punkbuster, not sure if you will have to use steam though

McGray · 4 Nov 2010 at 16:11

It will be Steam and VAC no PB.
