40% off on steam this weekend, maybe the pressure is getting to them. Don't be tempted though Please.

Oh and don't pirate, you'll just kill off the industry, just wait until the game is @ £4.99.

Doh It's MW1 @40% off sorry

That makes no sense whatsoever. A pirated game is not a potentially lost sale at all

Of course it makes sense. Every leecher on a torrent is a POTENTIAL sale.

Jabbs · 30 Oct 2009 at 12:06

I see the original one at 40% off but i can't see modern warefare 2 ?

No it isn't
so ner ner

no more than saying that every person on the planet is a potential sale, which is ridiculous

something daft already!! · 30 Oct 2009 at 12:10

TBH, I know a friend who pirated the first one and after seeing me playing on-line, then bought it for the multiplayer only. They have screwed themselves on this I think and hope.

The potential sales went out the window with dedicated servers

domthecondom · 30 Oct 2009 at 12:20

IMO they have moved backwards :|, who releases a PC game without Dedicated servers?

I hope this is not the future of PC gaming and how other online games will work

LeJosh · 30 Oct 2009 at 12:20

What the **** is that airport level all about? :eek:

I couldn't watch all of it. That's horrible.

Vtec9k · 30 Oct 2009 at 12:21

Don't pirate it!

All that does is give IW excuses, "Oh look at 5million pirated PC copies, we need to use IW.Net more to stop this kind of thing!"

It's a mission in the game. Allegedly.

Thats pretty poor, it is a potential sale due to the fact they are downloading which must mean they want to play it

A well known American player who played competively in CoD4, travelled to Europe with team EG and won numerous £10,000 prizes in Europe has said...

The same high profile player also sent this to the euro scene about a week ago, hinting something.

Loaded! juvenizle: Yo
Loaded! juvenizle: BUY MW2
Loaded! juvenizle: I promise
Loaded! juvenizle: it will be good
Loaded! juvenizle:

Loaded! juvenizle: so i can come to europe
Loaded! juvenizle: and **** on u

Could be hope yet? May just be an elaborate bait, who knows?

Won't buy it untill dedi's are released though, if that even happens

ScarySquirrel · 30 Oct 2009 at 12:51

I'll believe it when it happens.

Fingers crossed.

Sleepery · 30 Oct 2009 at 12:51

Yeah, he really, really sounds like a reliable source

Well that video of the level looks messed up. :eek:

I mean why would they think that it is a good idea? The devs have said that you can skip it, but I do not think that it can be classed a computer entertainment (excuse me if I sound like the Daily Fail - I certainly would not move to ban it. I would and am, choosing not to buy it; for various reasons as it turns out (4 and counting (price rise, none dedi servers, Koticks' attitude, and now this))).

I have never seen slaughter on that scale (of innocent NPCs) within a video game before. I know that people will cite Hitman and GTA for the murder of innocents, but at least you had choice as to whether to do it. I think the object of that level is to kill, i.e: you don't have a choice.

sick imo.

Sorry to derail thread, but seems like the place to post about this.
