Alright, ordered this off amazon, should be in sometime next week.

I'm really bad at these type of games, so take it easy on me.

ok I'm still trying to decide whether or not I want to spend the little money I have on this game.  If so, is the limited edition worth getting?  It's $50 on Steam ($10 cheaper than everywhere else) which is basically the price that the regular version goes for on retail.

is the beta just for preorders only? I'm interested in getting this game but don't wanna preorder it until I try it first.  Looks great but not unfortunately not sold on it yet.

If not guess I'll wait for the demo to drop.

add me if you like!

I hear it's one of those games that you'll play obsessively for a couple of weeks and then stop playing.  It seems that everyone is getting tired of it after 50-60 hours of play in 3 weeks.  I probably won't have the time to play that much for another month or so, and no one will be playing anymore then

But notice he never said anything about back hair.  I never said there aren't pluses to wearing tags!

I'm all for the idea of competition and have some suggestions!

-I think you're complicating this too much with the rules and all.  Think we should stick with either stock or hardcore and maybe play by CEVO or TWL rules (no perks but maybe bandolier, etc).  Also no real need for officers since that might be too complicated, one captain and everyone else should be fine.  Don't think we need to really worry about cheating if this is made up of regulars and just for fun.

-A draft could work, but how about making the captains (who have a decent grasp of everyone's skill level) agree upon teams?  This would assure fairly balanced teams.

-25 player max roster seems like too much.  Maybe shoot for 8 teams of 7 or so and play 5 on 5 (since some might not be able to show, etc), unless you're confident that you can get enough people.

-For maps we should have a map pool of maybe 10-15 choices max and have each team pick one.   The map pool should be agreed upon by the captains/admins.  Maybe play best of 3 and the third map chosen at random.  The map pool is essential, I was in a competition for another game once and this screwed everyone but one team over.

I'll enter if I can get on and practice again before this all starts.  Will be busy the next 2 weeks and haven't played in a long time but if I can get back in the groove of things I'm down.

Awesome, I've been addicted to Team Fortress 2 and a little bit of Killing Floor so I haven't played CoD in forever.  The suckiness of MW2 and new maps is giving me a reason to come back.

Hopefully I get a chance to be on next weekend (lost of stuff to do this week + Left 4 Dead 2 demo drops).  By the way is this stock or hardcore?

The biggest reason why PC gaming is “dying† is because the console market is essentially the same.  In the past, the console market used to be dominated by Japan and was entirely different than the PC market, which mainly consisted of western games.  Think about it in the 90’s: PC’s had Doom, Half-life, Quake, Starcraft, System Shock, Diablo etc.  Western games.  Consoles had Super Mario, Final Fantasy, Zelda, Castlevania, and other mainly Japanese titles.  They were completely different markets and ever since Xbox came along Western games have been dominating consoles (Halo, Grand Theft Auto, Gears of war, Call of Duty to name a few).  So the only difference between PC and console is whether one prefers to play on a TV screen with a controller or on a computer with a keyboard and mouse. PC’s provide what I believe is a much deeper and more rewarding experience, but the fact of the matter is people generally would rather have something cheaper, more stable, and easier to use.  Consoles are great for the fact that you can just put a game in, turn it on and play.  No need to worry about downloading maps, finding a server manually, tweaking settings, and updating punkbuster after it kicks you for the 100 time.

Plus piracy has definitely played a factor in Infinity Ward’s decision.  They even said over and over again that the number of pirated keys playing online was unbelievably high and that their heart is with the consoles due to this (and the fact that the sales are higher).  Integrating the game into Steam was a great start since VAC is way better than Punkbuster and it’s tougher to pirate.  However, no dedicated servers shows me that they just gave up on the PC market and are just giving PC gamers the sloppy seconds.

For me I’ll most likely get the game when it goes down to $20 or play my brothers’ since he plans on getting it for his Xbox.  I’m not spending $60 for a 5-6 hour single player campaign.

I was just gonna post this earlier this afternoon but you guys beat me to it.  If everything is as it sounds (i.e. identical to Xbox and PS3 versions) I'm not getting this game.  I don't think most MW players will want to play this, either.

I'm all for Steam support since most gaming stuff I do is over Steam (don't use xfire anymore) but I'm not getting this game if there's no dedicated servers.

At least I'll be saving 60 bucks since I"m not spending 60 bucks for 5 hours of singleplayer (doubt it will be much longer than MW). I'll just pirate the game or something.

Than reminds me this weekend I plan on ordering it for 30 bucks, student discount.  Good thing I still have another semester of college left.

So far I hear it's better than Vista but I'm gonna wait until November or so when I can hear from everyone about how it is and if it's worth installing.

edit - didn't see the links above. That's where I ordered it from though.
