How is no dedicated completely gimped? For all you know it may work out better? I know that sounds ridiculous, but you don't really know for sure how it will all work out. I'm not saying its good, but I'm saying everyone is crying like a bitch when they aren't entirely sure how it will all work out.ghst said:

CTF the flag for sure. Its all I play in WaW. Though its going to be weird having to wait like 15 seconds for that bar to fill up before you can take the other teams flag. Not that it will matter that much. I tend to play defense in CTF anyway.

CTF is only fun if you have a good group of friends to play with

There are other problems than just the servers. Basic functions like leaning, lowered player counts, lack of customizable gametypes/adjusting victory conditions (like say playing to 100 kills instead of 75, or turning off friendly fire but retaining the rest of the hardcore settings) also disappear when compared to the experience that was CoD4 on PC. Admittedly, I still play CoD4 on 360 on a daily basis (meaning I am okay with the experience they provide) and only picked it up on PC last weekend(and obviously havent played MW2), but it seems that there is quite a few things missing from your average PC title for multiplayer.

I prefer playing it with strangers. That way I don't have to wear my headset or have people bugging me to work as a team.

so, what percentage will you be at after a few rounds where you average 150ms ping?
what about the dead communities, when you just want to hang out at a regular server but are forced to play with 9 racist fijians instead. then what percentage?
or when you go into the profile settings to re-assign your lean keys, and you realize the command isn't there? what then?
or perhaps when you try to draw down the console to adjust a few settings, like the claustrophobic console POV, and you realise that functionality has been removed?
i hope whatever % happy you end up at justifies the $10 price hike. because whatever your issues with the game, you're a pc gamer paying hand over fist for a deliberately maimed product, and infinity ward couldn't give a fuck about your experience as you cough up the price of entry as planned.

Ok, further impressions on the PS3 version.
Pacing is well done and action is a very good fit to mission objectives so far. However, after playing Uncharted 2, I guess I feel a bit spoiled regarding set pieces. Please note, I am not saying this game sucks at all, but that coming off such a high from UC2, I guess I expect too much from action/shooter games now, haha.
I went back to test the framerate in the mission with explosions and dust flying everywhere and it still held up. I threw a bunch of grenades around and kept my finger on the trigger button to push it as well (with an RPD). Solid still.
I did notice that in one area when you move your gun sight to a section where the dust isn't in your way, it moved maybe .001 seconds slower than the area where there was dust. I don't know, maybe I'm seeing things, but it felt a little more "weighted" when trying to move it.
Spec Ops Mode - Wow. Big surprise here for me. I love it, great variations and awesome objectives. Very cool.
Overall, definitely a solid 9 so far. If you have any questions, let me know and I'll do my best to answer them.

God damn it! I want the game early too!
It's like the Cleveland Browns...management is not going to care that the team has been shit for almost 2 decades...as long as the sheep-like fans keep coming into the stadium, it's business as usual...until the fans stop being sheep and start to make a statement...things change.ghst said:

I would say a good 6-10 minutes, but you can do some longer or shorter. Some are meant for you to beat the clock and others are meant for you to survive, or complete other mission objectives.
As for 2 player online, I haven't been able to try it since I don't see any mode for matchmaking and only friend invites, and since none of my friends on my PSN list have it yet, I haven't been able to try it out.

I got my tracking number instantly from person when I ordered it at 1:30pm EST today. Should be here Friday but the tracking info hasn't been updated yet. Where did you order ship from?

Oh man, honestly, I don't even remember looking at the textures in COD4 with any intent to judge their value. If you can find me pictures of the textures, I can tell yo how they compare based on memory and gameplay of last night's sessions.
The textures are pretty good in MW2. I was looking at the ground in the tutorial and saw variations in the terrain and nothing that looked drab.

Same. Add me on xbox if you want to. Gamertag: VendettaXXI
I bet the revenue from MW2 avatar gear will bring Activision more of a profit than Brutal Legend would've.
They don't like to because the malls usually charge them out the ass for staying open/needing security to be in the mall. The one in my mall only does it rarely.

I didn't try it on Veteran (did Hardened for the first couple missions before realizing I just wanted to play on Moral my first run through) so not sure completely since I know in WaW when I beat it on Veteran, there was infinite spawns.
SP definitely, so far, could have been coop. Hell, coop would have been amazing on the second "mission." You'll see why.

Thanks for the tips. I was aware about the pre-order bonuses and frankly do not care that much. I mean, obviously a $20 gift card is nice - but to me I would rather have the PC version of the game versus console (now that my gamebox is working and solid) and I do not want a box and disc floating around...I love digital distribution and I already have CoD4, CoD:WaW in my Steam account and like the idea that I can simply reinstall/install at will when I need to.
I did some add'l research and you are right - 2 day delay plus no one seems to have an idea on the Steam forums as to when it will be available to download...ugh. Oh well.
And yes, $59.99 sucks. P2P multi-player sucks. Etc. But that would be the same case on PS3 or 360 (of which I have both) - perfer to play my gamebox. All three are connected to my 50" plasma so the couch argument is nil.

I didn't check for that, and only did "solo" but I was never paired with any AI. I'll double check since there is one mission already which requires two people to play it (i.e. I couldn't even select it).
BTW the manual fucking sucks. 4 pages of garbage, but I'm not surprised based off COD4's manual.
There is an insert which says you can download the full manual at Activision's website? Fucking cheapasses.
