@Microsoft Xbox 360
It could be awesome, like the past AvP games?
Although, I guess you wouldn't know. Given your name, you've probably only started gaming in the past 4 years...
I really hope this demo comes to PC...
There are Dedicated Servers, they just can't be hosted by private users and have to be bought through "official" hosts.
superrootfan, did you forget to mention how badly Reflex sales cratered this week according to your link? They'll never recover from that.
What are you talking about?
The original Crysis was on PC and boasted visuals beyond what the PS3 is capable of. They managed to create an engine that works on PS3 and Xbox 360 as well for Crysis 2, but the PC version will look even better than the original game. However, the console versions of Crysis 2 will look worse than Crysis, because they're using what is nearly half-decade-old hardware...
Gamespot destroys Gametrailers as well. I gained a lot of respect for them when they gave GOTY to Demons Souls, one of the few new IPs this year that actually did new and innovative things...
You'll probably be getting the PC version, since all three of your points for the PC version are probably going to end up true. Also, EA has stopped using activation DRM for their games since they realized it doesn't work...
Sorry Pandamobile, but judging by the player numbers and what IW has said, it has sold better than previous Call of Duty games on PC. I don't think the multiplayer of any previous Call of Duty game on PC ever had more than 120,000 people playing online simultaneously.
What's on the bonus disk, then? I assume they have it written down somewhere. Because this the first time I've heard of a bonus disk in a standard boxed copy of MW2. Usually, Activision isn't that generous.
Why is there a bonus content disk? I thought the PC version was a no-frills box containing just the game?
And how do you know how the game works? It's tied into Steam activation.
I smell bull made up to get hits...
I doubt it. But it'll look pretty damn good on PC regardless. I played the demo, and its a marked improvement over the first game.
Pandamobile, it's a reinterpretation of Seldom-Seen Kid by Elbow.
The original was used in marketing for the original Left 4 Dead.
Amazon.com is only the US branch. Hence: amazon.co.uk, amazon.fr, etc.
Even still, with all the cancellations, I'm shocked that there are still so many pc copies on pre-order. They might have even been at 20%, which at a retail store, is pretty amazing for a pc game...
Funny how fast Infinity Ward has turned into the scapegoat of the entire industry when just several months ago people were laughing at Treyarch for being subpar to them.
Regardless, this game is just one of the first of many to go this route, what with decreasing retail sales on the PC side.
How is this going to work when the game needs:
A) Steam authentication
B) Is using VAC
C) Requires to be signed into IW.net with an account and individual product key
Knowing Activision, it's also pretty likely that there is no LAN support in the game. Meaning, pirates won't be able to do **** with the multiplayer.
At this point, DDoSing infinityward.com and activision.com is pretty much the only way we can get their attention... Get on it, soldiers! :)
Still buying this on PC, since I love the series and the gameplay. But at this rate, my copy will be the only one Activision ever manages to sell...
They probably aren't, since PC gamers would have found them by now.
