Modern Warfare 2 Free steam weekend!

I'm not boycotting the game, I just don't fancy the multiplayer.

I'd rather play TF2 or L4D.

Hmmm the preloading window says it's not downloading but the MW2 folder in steam apps is increasing in size... so it is preloading :-/

Why is this VAC thingy not catching the cheaters? :confused:

Rroff · 7 Apr 2010 at 17:04

It does - its just extremely slow at catching them and by the time it does the cheaters have mostly moved onto newer versions

or got bored of the game and the ban has no affect as someone new has taken their place who because they weren't playing previously don't have the old cheat trail to ban them from.

It would be nice if Steam told me how big the download is going to be. The downloader seems broken anyway, i'll give it a miss I suppose.

This game is ****in ****, I won't even play it if i was getting paid to!

Dammit. I read the thread title and thought 'good stuff! I'll give the single player a run through."

Not interested in the multiplayer on this one though.

same

Played it briefly a few days ago. Terrible game. Its as if its trying to be Unreal Tournament without actually admitting it.

Just.. What?

I'm not even defending UT here, as a die hard Quake fan I would never do such a thing, but what the hell are you on about?

LOL ditto for me - strange!

mortals · 7 Apr 2010 at 17:35

What size is the download? :confused:

Not sure whether to try it or not, have hard MP is really bad but if it doesn't take long to download might be worth trying

There's no bandwagon, it's about standing up to companies blatantly taking the mickey out of the community. Besides all I'm interested in is singleplayer anyway as I never liked multiplayer side of COD. Although love it how you jump to BC2 conclusions.

I "jump to BC2 conclusions" because nearly every thread regarding MW2 is trashed with people going on about how much better BC2 is (imo it isnt but thats another topic). And if people hate MW2 so much, why come into a MW2 thread? Seems like a waste of your time tbh

ic1male · 7 Apr 2010 at 17:39

3.9GB I think.

Parky · 7 Apr 2010 at 17:49

I dont want to infect my computer with that tripe.

Theres a lot better multiplayer games id want to spend my time on

>> Becuase MW2 needs more sales

I know one game I'm not playing this weekend.

TheOtherOption · 7 Apr 2010 at 18:01

Not that bothered about this - can just fire it up on 360 if the need grabs me but I've only played it online for about 10 mins as yet lol

Will defo be grabbing some more hours of BC2 on the OcUK servers if and when possible

Well you know what they say about opinions

QlimaxUK · 7 Apr 2010 at 18:24

too late have already chosen BC2

and the pre-loader isn't working or hasn't been activated yet, dont know what this is like online but from what i have read i think ill stick with BC2

Efour · 7 Apr 2010 at 18:29

download it and play with other ocukers. Pretty much guaranteed there is no cheats then.

Maybe they would get more sales if they dropped the price a little... I can't find it anywhere cheaper than the £40 day of release price.

I would gladly pay £20.... £15... £10....£5 for the SP game
