MW2 singleplayer is up to 35,000 and multiplayer at 22,000 on Steam concurrent as a peak (so probably more than that in unique users, unless everyone who got the game played at the same time, there should be 2 major groups, the midnight people and the early morning people).
Those are all retail copies because no other digital store is selling it and the Steam version doesn't unlock for over 2 days.

God I hate the friendly AI in this game.
They almost always cross in front of my fire - I felt bad the first 2 times I did it, like "oh no!".. but after the 10th or so time, I stopped caring and stabbed them my damn self to ensure they're out of my way.
Worthless fucks.
There were also moments when I'm taking cover behind an object... maybe 2 feet behind it, and some dumbass decides to take cover between me and the object. Good call, asshole, now I don't have a shot! :|

Is there a similar option on the ps3? I hate it when I join a lobby and all you hear is obscenities and the sound of obnoxious kids blaring through my speakers.

Yeah, and while they are two different genres Biowares one for Dragons Age brought a smile to my face. It reminded me of the old days of Gaming where a manual could be more than a control layout and explain how the game worked and even how concepts in the game worked (Civilization, Colonization, and Alpha Centauri). Granted, FPS's are different, but still this four page crap is just really annoying. I loved the one for Deus Ex which integrated plot elements as a separate sheet. Battlezone also did a really great job making the game manual exist as in game document (same with Fallout 1 and 2). Sierria's City Buiding Games are another great example: Zeus, Pharaoh, but with Emperor than went down the full manual as a PDF.bjscott05 said:
Sorry I've just been meaning to rant about the brevity of instruction manuals these days and this provided a good opportunity.

It's a fucking manual, lighten up. With the internet they don't need to be all that much, just give me the controls and I'll go online if I'm interested in character backstories, multiplayer modes, and all that other bullshit.

I hate those, Operation Flashpoint came in one and at first I though the game was missing from it. Luckily Borderlands came in a real game case.

Did anyone else have to turn off the game in the
?
Geez that was a little heart wrenching to watch even in a video game.
I'll pick it up again tonight, but man, that was terrible. I understand that happens and that its gritty realism, but it still had quite an effect on me. Anyone else get kind of sick to their stomach?

I just opened up my CoD4 manual for the first time ever to check (do the majority of people actually read the manual for an FPS? I check the control options in game and then go, figured that was pretty common), and it is exactly like what you guys are describing in this one. Were you outraged about it two years ago as well?
Hope mine comes in the mail soon, I have that itch to play multi. Gonna go on CoD4 and see if there's any dregs still in the bottom of the glass.
EDIT: Only 23k people online....farewell sweet prince.

Went last night expecting only a few people and there was close to 300, never again!
Haven't touched the SP yet but have spent ~4hrs doing MP. Getting the hang of it since it feels noticeably different from cod4 at frist but it's been a fun sofar. Maps are going to take a bit of getting used to but they're pretty good overall, although a lot of them are bit too camper friendly.

I was totally sucking at multiplayer last night. Woke up this morning to get a match in and did pretty well, 6 kill streak and some knife throws.
Think its all coming back to me. Have not played mw1 in a while so it took some time.
When you get in a groove in multiplayer the game feels sooo good.

I had a monster headache that lasted the whole of Sunday because I had a marathon on this game - it's been a while since I've done that, but I've never had that happen because of that though... :lol
I beat the Campaign on Veteran right from the start and got every single player Achievement yesterday - now, shooters are my number one thing, and I've beaten every shooter I own, especially the big titles on their hardest difficulty, but I gotta say that Veteran, should not be called Veteran - it should be called "Inhuman", or "Cheats On", or "One Man Army" because the instant you stick out anywhere, you are going to get pelted by anyone directly in front of you no matter how far they are, flanked by a seemingly-instant spawned enemy even though you checked your six just a second ago, and have your squad who are all in front of you get ignored and focus directly on you...
It's very, very doable if you have skills, no doubt, but it's yet another game that makes me appreciate Halo's A.I. - the enemies on Veteran don't feel real, they feel like robots with auto-aim unlike Halo's A.I. which still feels natural and react to what you do, to the point of even retreating...
Story-wise it was very, very entertaining - I got slightly spoiled about the "big scene" on GAF thanks to some moron, but even when I saw it, I wasn't shocked - but that's how I am, I'm not sensitive to these kind of things at all in games - other friends of mine that saw it definitely were though...
The things that go down were done in a entertaining way, makes me feel like I was watching a blockbuster movie - they really nailed it in that sense and went above anything I could expect from them - kudos to IW for this, and the huge range of areas you visit in the Campaign was well appreciated...
Multiplayer is a fucking blast - I love that I'm thinking about how to come up with a few ideal setups, and which perks to level up as well as which gun to level up as well - love it, love it...
Spec Ops is a blast as well, I'm more than half-way done, all on Veteran, and some have been pretty challenging thus far too, and I'm curious to see how the last few pan out...
All in all, I'd say that the game is a winner in my book, all of my friends, including some I haven't played with in a while are all over it, and we're all teaming up for MP practically every night for it...
...but ooooooooh man did I forget how much of a camp-fest COD is - none of the other big shooters that I mainly play have it so prominently, and people were sure to remind me in this game about 2 nights ago in one match... :lol

Maybe I'm a sick bastard, but not at all. I was more distracted by the fact that there was only like 3 character models repeated for the entire
airport (civilians). It must have been dress like a twin day or something
Seeing shit like this is just lazy IMO (spoiler warning): http://b5.s3.quickshareit.com/img_20732652a.jpg
Pack it up man. Trade the game in :lol :lolRelix said:
I was thinking that too. I was always getting out manuevered but also everyone seemed to have great equipment and perks already. Once I could make my custom load out and got throwing knives it was on.Zzoram said:

No i did not find it disturbing at all, after all the hype about it was quite a let down. So i shot a few civilians? I was undercover in a terrorist group at the time trying not to blow my cover. BTW i do not know if not shooting them will blow your cover excuse me if i am wrong. And i in no way advocate shooting up airports buts its only a game and who hasn't done worse shit in GTA?
Multiplayer in CoD takes time to really enjoy. You have to learn the maps, what perks/guns you like (Hell I am 46 and still trying to figure out which SMG is for me), and you have to level up to earn your stuff. I really hit my stride once I FINALLY earned Cold Blooded.MThanded said:
It also really doesn't help the default load outs suck this time around and a bunch of important weapons aren't unlocked until you get so far into the MP game (I am looking at you stinger missle).
Playstation Home event for MW2 tonight. Chance to win a Soap MacTavish statue for participating.

And, sadly, even the "real" cases are cheap as shit. Has anyone compared modern cases to last-gen's? Those last-gen ones are hard as hell. You could stand on them and not harm the DVD. Not so this gen.
Anyway, <3 this game. I'm up to
right after the "Burger King"
Played a couple of hours now, multiplayer just seems hectic as hell. I only play free for all, not bad at it, finishing second quite a lot. Will have to try some other modes, what are peoples favourites?
When playing cod 4 i run it through my onkyo amp using sennheiser headphones and can hear people no problem, directional sound is very good. MW2 though is nowhere near as good, i'm hearing opponents when they're nearly on top of me now, has anybody else noticed this?

The default Sniper loadout seems insane to me.
First, the first rifle unlocked is the Barret .50 Cal, which was the last one in the previous game. Second, it has a heartbeat sensor attached. I dunno about you, but that does not seem like the most useful sniper rifle attachment.
I at least can see how tactical insertion is a good grenade for snipers.

Would rather have no penis than have to show his to a medical professional
So a friend and me are always inviting each other and every time when we accept the invite we get 'The game session you were invited to is no longer valid... '
what are we doing wrong?? (it's the ps3 version btw)

Just completed Tag Em and Bag Em or whatever.
So far I'm in love. Everything awesome about MW but tighter.
Can't wait to play more tonight.
Also Veteran is "holy shit easy" at points. This game's got nothin' on COD2. Atleast not yet.

In all bleeping fairness, IW shouted time and again how the COD campaign experience is designed and focused on single player. The player who doesn't necesasrily play games online. The player who s not necessarily connected to the internet. IW said this, in videos and interviews etc.
It's their whole reason for not putting coop in campaign mode - to not jeopardize the single player, loner experience.
So *if* I'm one of the millions and millions IW claims who buys this game for that experience - that sad excuse for a booklet reflects very poorly on the company who's game I just bought for $80. As it turns out, it's Activision who is sucking the donkey nuts here but IW is the one who looks cheap because of it.

Picked up the hardened edition. Steelbook case is really nice; glad I bought one.
If anybody wants a download code for CoD: Classic, shoot me a PM. I'm not interested in the game.
Edit - 360 version.
