Is COD:MW2 re-sellable?

Gadge · 17 Nov 2009 at 07:25

I may have made the mistake of selling this on 3bay, but someone alerted me that it can not be sold on because the game is linked to my steam account???

Is this true?

I cancel payment and not send the game out if thats the case.

Schizo · 17 Nov 2009 at 07:28

yes it is true im afraid.

there was another thread about this as well and it is tied to your steam account.

here is the other thread for you.

So you can't even gift it to them after you have played it?

Gadge · 17 Nov 2009 at 08:19

It sure isn't that good either

(The xbox360 can't even run COD:MW2 at a HD res,you just get upscaled rubbish)

That's not really true. Have you even played it on the 360? It's really not that bad at all.

It is really true, it renders at 600p (1067x600), PAL SD is 576p, so it is not really even HD.

It has to upscale to 720 or 1080.

If you have a 1080p TV and you have this game for your PC & xbox360 then ran them both at the same time on your 1080p TV and swap back/forward between the inputs...

And then you see how bad the xbox360 version really looks compared to the PC version at 1080p..

Or you could just play the game and enjoy it on whatever system you have

Yeah because you're really having fun on it

I've got an incredibly good PC and I play the console version instead, console gaming has caught up to PC gaming bigtime recently.

Probably. But keyboard+mouse>* for fps. Short of VR.

There also 11 PC used ones listed on the bay

THE GAME HAS BEEN USED ONLY FOR A FEW HOURS

People have been recently asking me if they get the steam accout as well, the answer to that is no, you will just get the cds with the leaflet and the cd case

C64 · 17 Nov 2009 at 22:16

Yes what is going on with that high street shop ? they are still unaware nobody can play this game if bought from them or what ?

pds · 17 Nov 2009 at 23:45

burn it!

Lol someone else with the same problem I had. Welcome to the end of PC full price gaming as the majority of people won't shell out £30 for a game they can't trade in. Yes, a lot of forum people still would, but in the real world that is a minority.

Having never owned a console before I finally opened the PS3 last night and I love it. I'm no longer tied to "X" amount of installs for games and can do whatever I please with the games when I'm done with them. PC gaming is now a niche market and will continue to shrink.

If they had keyboard/mice for RTS games on a PS3 I think I'd just dump the PC, but alas the PC still rules in that respect.

Even if they did integrate K&M support for consoles, I stilldon't think I'd switch fully. I still play consoles for the odd games, but regardless of the pros and cons I'll be a PC gamer til the end. If I have to drag my naked body across shattered reason to get there, I will.
