Default Re: Modern Warfare 2 are you buying it?

I got the first one for free with my graphics card about a year ago. I'm more of a WW2 guy so I wasn't too thrilled about loading it, but this past summer I was jones'n for something new to play, and I remembered I had it so I loaded it up. To my surprise it was fun. I did however have some game crashing issues, that I was able to minimize with Riva Tuner. Whether or not that actually helped, I'm really not sure, but I was able to finish the game. I'll get MW2 when it comes down in price a bit.

nope, meaning you can host a game from your personal pc, but not a rented server, hence the end of clan-run servers.

Yep instead they invented this IWnet stuff.

Until they add them they add dedicated servers they can

Must have came out today because there was a line of people like you would see for black friday at walmart infront of the gamestop store here. And I mean packed for my little ghetto town.. and eventually cops were called to control crowd. I was very suprised and looked online to see what was going for sale today.. And it was this.. SO maybe many people like it..

i preordered it and stood in line last night at midnight. it's fun, but the single player is a bit lacking for the pc. but it's still kinda fun, just not sure how much I will play it after the single player is done.

Bought it and I must say I am getting kind of addicted to it lol Only thing it is missing is dedicated servers and open mod which I heard may be happening in the future.
