I run black ops MP at 90 FPS with a 6970 with everything turned all the way up. The menu screen does have some slight lag though but the technical issues seems to be fixed? who knows.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Free Weekend - June 2011 (ROW) just showed up in my Steam account - is this old news?

So the game will be free to download and play this weekend? I have it for 360 but I'm curious to try the PC version. Will download.

My bad! I'd never seen that thread. It must get page-two'ed pretty rapidly.

It does drop off pretty quick, and it's been made more complicated by Steamworks because now a lot of non-Steam deals are actually entirely relevant for the Steam thread and so get posted here.

From a moderation point of view, I don't think anyone minds people innocently bringing stuff up in here. The separation was, I think, mainly intended to keep DD platform wars from encroaching on the thread.

Please tell me these don't actually exist.

Yeah Black Ops Free Weekend is listed in my account details/history instead of my library for some reason.

I also noticed I now have Samorost 2. Did I miss something? Because I know I didn't buy it. Not that I mind... :O

Nope, that's actually the only bundle I don't have. I do have machinarium though. I also checked my account history and it's not listed there.

Oh well, guess I'll be playing Samorost 2 tonight. :p

Edit: Ah apparently it came later with humble indie bundle 1, but I guess it didn't get added to Steam until today or yesterday.

What is this free weekend business all about? Free COD Blops on Saturday and Sunday? I'm assuming it's only playable for those two days otherwise there would be like 12 million downloads in a single day.

Free weekend starts in 2 hours.

Priced like a normal game should be then?

Get COD4. Skip the rest.

Is that the one that caused all the outrage with the part where you get to
shoot innocents in an airport disguised as a terrorist or something
?

No that's MW2, and it sucks.

I'm so confused. Why can't shooting games have good differentiating names such as 'Blood', 'Doom', 'Rise of the Triads' or 'Redneck Rampage' like they did when I actually had the reflexes to play them?

I've noticed that too, and I'm sure it wasn't there few days ago (because I considered buying it). It was a part of The Humble Indie Bundle #2, so maybe they've just added it to contributors' Steam accounts.

I was able to preload it by going to the game page, there was a "click here to preload" option.

I just played a little Vegas 2 co-op with a friend. I did not expect that to be such a bad looking and feeling game. I think we're gonna give it another shot, but that was ridiculous.

I played throgh Vegas 2 for the first time a few months back. Graphically the game defintley looked like a 3 year old game. I never really thought the game looked bad but it was dissapointing how barren and generic the environments were especially how the game was set in Vegas. It was still a lot of warehouse fighting though there were a couple of cool environments. Also, you and your team's suits had a ton of deatail which looked sort out of place in the detail-less world. I thought the game played great for the most part, couple of hitches here and there but nothing to concerning or game-breaking for me. Overall it was a fun time.

Now I'm a couple hours in to Vegas 1 and it's a bit of a different story. The controls aren't as good and the cover doesn't quite work as well. When stacked up on a wall against the corner all the way, before you jump out, parts of your body are hanging out exposing you. Also, there are times in which I just die instantly, no warning, no sound, no idea from where. Screen just turns red. Vegas 1 does try to have less generic warehouse fighting so far but it's still mostly just casinos. Maybe that will change.

The graphics also aren't as good, but at the same time it's a five year old game from the very start of the HD generation, so I'll give it a bit of a pass. The graphics have a bit of a haze some people are talking about in some levels but in other levels I don't notice it.

It would've been cool if they extended this to people who have already pre-ordered Armageddon :/

Edit: Oh well, Red Faction for 2.50 is a pretty good deal. DOn't think I'll touch the second game.

You can cancel your pre-order and pre-order again I think.
