Anyone know if buying from Steam gets you the Bonus XP weekend? It only mentions Nuketown as a pre-order bonus.

Yeah, Nuketown + BonusXP are bundled together.

Sweetness, thanks for the heads-up. Just went ahead and pulled the trigger. This is the first CoD I've actually purchased (MW3 was a gift), so I aim to get a lot more mileage out of it this time.

The netcode in BO was far better then the lag compensation present in MW3, that crap made me to stop playing.

Nice! You always have an open invite to any of my lobbies.
I have to ask but did you play the game on PC? I even owned a server at one point. If I picked a server from the east coast, I would end up with 10-30 ping.
I can't speak for PC, but on consoles 3arc has never been that good with net code and hit detection. Infinity Ward has always outclassed them in that area.

How badly am I going to do using a gamepad on PC? I am using a TV atm and don't have a desk/monitor so using mouse and keyboard is hard. Also I suck using mouse and keyboard :lol

Have you played MW3? You think that is good net code? you must have been high while playing it.

White people around here (NYC) say it too =\
You can add MW2 to that list as well. Infinity Ward lost their way when it came to PC ports with that game.
I must be high while plying MW3 too, Black Ops was complete trash if you didn't have a 4 bar connection.

Maximillian's Map impressions
Each time someone on GAF lowers the hype, Max takes it back up. I tend to agree with a lot of what he's saying. I like most of the maps and I'm not dying as much as I did before. Level 30 something now and counting

He was referring to the PC version of MW3.
Make sure to log into steam. The group is public.
No one should be saying that damn word anyway and F him and his license BS. Now back to the game
Iirc cod games don't have controller support on pc. I'm thinking about getting this for PC, ps3, or wiiu but I haven't made up my mind. I'm terrible wih kb/m in fps games so I will probably go console unless the dx11 stuff is really all that.
When I stated IW i meant the older IW, the original one that actually made cod what it is today (before the MW2 exodus)
And yea I would say the MW engine, netcode and even hit detection was handled better then any 3arc on console.
PC settings are different from consoles. snaps 30 instead of 20. Rate at 25000 instead of 5000. Thats not including the server itself being a center focused on hosting the game so it wont be bandwidth constrained like someone providing a listen experience. black ops on PC is fine.

Blops 2 has controller support. You can also use Left Stick + Mouse if you want.
edit: No aim assist though.
Also don't get too attached, if im right they reset every profile back to 1 on Monday
They didn't do it for mw3, and i dont recall if they did with blops1.
I could've swore Vonderhaar tweeted they won't reset it as well.

Yeah, the account's just ineligible for the Race to Prestige Master contest thing if you play before the launch or whatever.
I just looked it up, vahn said he wouldn't but apparently he is doing a "race to prestige" thing
@davidvonderhaar I'll announce the start of #TheRace to Prestige Master tomorrow. Don't play on the profile you intend to compete with. + We know if you cheated. GG SCRUB CHEATER. DQ PERMA-BAN
They have never done it AFAIK. Every year this stupid rumor pops up and it's never true. You'd think by now people wouldn't give a crap. I know I don't.
I don't care. In fact, I'd like it if they do. Would help my stats since I know how COD and the maps work

Gonna go pick up the game on Tuesday, is there anywhere I can leave my gamertag to play against you guys?

Seriously I doubt its going to be any different... dx11 isn't all that in itself and unless you built it up for its features you wont see any difference. My money is in extremely small differences... so small you wont even notice... Activision is not know for going overboard on the pc... you get the regular anti aliasing boost and high rez... doubt much more.
DX 11 is just media buzz... until they do to a new engine don't really expect anything fancy.
Thanks for he info. Have there been any impressions of blops 2 with the wiiu tablet or pro controller? I'm not sure if the joystick placement is going to be very comfortable wih either.

From what website, Amazon?
Did anyone pre-order from Newegg? I live in SoCal, so I was wondering if my game would arrive on release date.

LiquidSnake's map impressions really bummed me out. I also love Blops, but hate MW3. Maps being too small are bad.
I'm glad for positive impressions from Maximillian, but I have a feeling that I'm not going to agree with him as much with what makes a great map. The first map he complained about was a place where people could "camp."
I think that complaint is way overused and instead it's misused to justify the horrid headless chicken, tactics-less gameplay of MW3.
We'll see, but please keep posting impressions of the maps, guys. That's all that matters to me right now.

you really should try it out for yourself, I've come to realize that everyone is different and has little quirks that they complain about.
That's what I can't wait to see. I have a feeling it won't be too much but all I really care about at this point is performance after Black Ops. That game pissed my PC off and only got slightly better with patches, so I just hope they take the time to make a solid PC game this time and hearing that DX11 is in at least tells us that they put some effort into it which is good.

I'm glad they improved on the visuals over the first one.
