Will probably buy it, play for a bit, then sell and go back to COD4.

Tied to Steam account, so unless you make a separate account just for MW2, you can't sell it.

because most server providers wont let you run a cracked server?

yes and those server providers have lost out big time through all this ? I'd be going nuts right about now If I were a server provider

I'd be doing this anyways, as I'd be ashamed of having it on my steam list

Whys everyone saying yo cant sell it? I'd actually buy the DVD so could sell that, hate digital downloads. Or have they made it so the CD key works on one install only? know the other recent cod's worked on 5 installs

People keep saying why.
The installation is tied/locked to a Steam login

Even the retail copies have to be registered on Steam. Meaning either a seperate steam account so you can sell it on, or register to your main one and keep it forever.

Thats just stupid. Another bad point to the game!!

Bloomfield · 10 Nov 2009 at 01:43

Well people who buy second hand games are just as bad as pirates, so it's fair enough!

well i was umm'ing and arr'ing on wether to boycott, and i'm happy to say i never. The Multi is actually very good. I've had no probs finding and playing in games with no lag at all.
Ok so i cant play with a clan just yet but that doesn't bother me too much.

Only good thing ive seen so far, not as much grenade spam and more gun kills. Then again with only 12 players on those maps hes on..

Looks ok. Its not going to make me go out and buy it straight away though. I might get it if its on steam weekend deal but I dont feel im missing much.

looks like it could be fun but still want dedi servers

lag was terrible

Gerard · 10 Nov 2009 at 04:22

Still looks waaaaaay too easy to kill people, that guys streaming vid has settled down now and the recoil...(par for the course since cod2) again is practically non existant. So its a matter of just pointing in their direction and they die...again.

BBC NEWS said:
Amazon said its pre-orders for the controversial title had been higher than for any previous video game.

The first-person shooter is expected to sell millions of copies in the first few hours after launch.

Sounds like this boycott has really screwed them over...
