Gee i guess everyone will jump onto that even though people bitch and moan about #2.

At least #1 has dedicated servers, right ?

Ah it's still $25 on the AU steam store. Always a laugh.

At least in 1 you had to at least kill them most of the time instead of in 2 where you let your killstreaks do all the work for you.

How is the online community on Modern warfare? Still active?

The first one? I'm sure the community for the first one is still active just like previous CODs. It is going to not be as big as the second one of course but you can still find servers and i'm sure people are still making mods for it.

Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong? I'm trying to buy L4D2 but my cc info is getting rejected for some reason. I've used the card on Steam before & I'm certain that there are no info typos (though I'm not familiar with any of the Steam language quirks, if there are any).

I get this message when I press the confirm button:

"Your purchase has not been completed. Your credit card information has been declined by your credit card company.

Note that in some cases, your credit card company may put a 'hold' on funds in your account, but you will not be charged. After reviewing the information below, if you believe your card has been declined in error please try your purchase again."

And then I get an email saying it's been declined. The email only shows my 4 last digits which looks really odd but I guess that's for security. User or Steam error? :D

could have been flagged up as fraudulent by your card company, then steam will refuse to sell you anything on your account, even after you clear it with the card company.

i had this happen to me after using steam for a month or so, really confused me.

that or you card is over its limit.

you probably need to ask support why it isnt accepting it.

Alright, I'll do that. I don't think it could be either of those two things though. I used it at Burger King yesterday & it's linked directly to one of my bank accounts where most of my cash sits.

Is it worth getting Left 4 Dead 2 if you don't have/use a headset (or mic)?
Click to expand...
Yes. You might annoy some people and perhaps get kicked from some matches but it is still well worth getting.

And get yourself a cheap headset/mic.

are you using the old steam client or the new beta? if you're using the old one, try ordering the game through steampowered.com through your current browser.

Can anyone help?
I just reigistered to STEAM, a few minutes ago.. from my mac.
I succesfully brought Trine, and then from my old laptop(a pc), i DLoaded the client and installed it, so while i wait for the REAL pc to get here, i may try it on my laptop.
The problem is, when i launch it, it says connection failed(network not found or some shit like this), try later.
Is it me?Has to do with firewalls or what else?

has calmed down a bit.
Modern Warfare doesn't have any crazy ass DRM thing besides the Steam DRM, right? I'm always scared since I rarely buy PC games and I keep hearing horror stories about games that have install limits or require you to be online etc.

Steam has been hammered for some reason tonight and that might be the cause. Try changing your dl server to somewhere remote and see if it'll authenticate then. If you can download it, it should work.

VIEW|SETTINGS|DOWNLOAD|

Also try verifing the files by right clicking on it and going to Properties|local files.

You might have to shut down steam & try again. Perhaps a reboot.

Theoretically.

Just make sure you copy the .gcf and not just the game folder.

yes, just go into steamapps directory and copy the lfd2 directory to yours, restart steam and it should check the file and work.

Dammit man, now we're down to 3 again. Honestly though I am starting to think spending the extra $5 might be worth the lack of headache.

The impressions in the Beta thread were really positive iirc.

I really felt MW1 was the pinnacle of the CoD series. The single-player campaign, while short, was awesome and had one of my most shocking gaming moments in it. The multiplayer was varied and though it did get a little cheap at times (darn you silenced P90 and Martyr) it was still fun.

I think it's miles ahead of MW2. Definitely worth $15.

I tried the 360 beta. Not sure if it's worth $60, but it's surprisingly good arcade racing.

I think Blur is going to be a Steamworks title from the looks of it. Neither D2D or Impulse has the game on their coming soon list and they have generally added games before Steam does to their lists.

I wouldn't be surprised since MW2 was.
