I'd pick it up just to experience "No Russian". Damn, that's cold.

No mods/dedicated servers=no buy.
There was a screen shot of the Boycott group on Steam, posted up on Kotaku today. It showed nearly everyone on the list playing the game

[/QUOTE]That picture is a load of poppycock, Steam displays whoever is in-game at the top of their lists. All that proved is that 30 or so people out of however many people are in the group bought it.
That list showed the people who were in-game at the moment, not everyone in the entire group.
Valve can actually track how many people in the group have actually bought the game, but I don't think they'll be releasing that information.

[STRIKE]Plus, it WOULD be kinda dickish to not even see how the game is (You know, besides firing up COD 4 & 5 and playing a multiplayer map by yourself, with no mods).
I probably will :arg: it, play it once, and delete it, just so I can say that I tried it.[/STRIKE]

Haha, never mind. Thanks, Ars, for saving me the bandwidth for :arg: it.

You know, while mods might not be supported, it's not like they can do anything to stop modders who actually want to put in the effort... so whenever a dev says "no mods" i want to punch them in the face...
My bet is on "already."

I really don't understand how the whole "This game wasn't made the exact way I wanted it to be" mentality means the game is any less fun.
Can someone explain?
(And OH MY GOD I WANT TO PLAY SO BAD)

I just bought it for console. The multiplayer is pretty awesome.
I do both PC and console games, but generally I don't end up using everything that a PC version of a game would offer, anyway. I can see how a PC gamer would be upset by the way they released this version - however, it's still a really fun game in it's own right.

I think it's because people can see the missed potential. The game COULD have had dedicated servers and all that other stuff that makes PC multiplayer gaming more fun, but it didn't. Lots of other games have this function, MW2 does not. Missed potential.
Sort of like when you hear a joke, and the punchline is all right, quite funny, but you can think of an even better one. Suddenly it's harder to laugh at the original joke.

Right, a record breaker in sales. I guess the boycott didn't work.
If they cared they would have never done it in the first place...
But of course the game sold well, console gamers never had dedicated servers in the first place...

Surprisingly, MSNBC has done the best review of Modern Warfare 2 I've seen.
8 out of 10 sounds about right. The single player campaign is pretty good but has plotholes the size of planets and the airport mission is very well done but when taken with the rest of the game that feels like a cheap low-intelligence popcorn flick it feels like a poorly done move to generate publicity.
The multiplayer is solid, but could have been improved in several ways, including things that were already in Modern Warfare 1.
Overall, not the strongest entry in the CoD franchise, and certainly not "10/10 GOTY ALL YEARS" that everyone is making it out to be. It's really just another somewhat above average FPS that gets popped out at the rate of 1-2 a year.

To summarize the article: Activision is paying attention to all of the cries from people who want things in the game that have been in all the previous COD games and are major FPS mainstays. So they're calling them new innovations and saying that players should pay extra for them.

Guess what, thats where most (most, not all though) of the money is to be made from gaming nowadays. and publishers know that and will cater to it. Sad to say, but it is true (there are notable exceptions, but in the overall, it is true)
Ugh, the more I hear about blizzard lauding their MMO subscriptions, the more it sounds like Bnet is going to be a pay service.
It's because you're all playing WoW you bastards...

I'm sure some games will go on sale.Also that is what people say about Dragon Age : Origin not having Multiplayer = sucks..... well I'm only 15 hours in (gameplay wise) and LOVING IT

Yup. And people are learning how to make mods (for some reason I can't get mine to work properly due to coding library issues. It keep saying it is not there, but I can see the libraries, but others have no problem
) the mods will be awesome cause in the past I have encounter some really talented people pretty much "rework" the game with mods.Bioware said the toolset pretty much allow users to practically "change the game" via script and lots of creative ideas. I can see new adventures and even characters for this. Woo!
I usually buy shooters for the multiplayer and especially the ability to hang on a couple of servers, getting to know the people there and have a blast with the zillion mods that were always available.
In all honesty, MW2 is a step down from MW so I'll stick with playing the superior game rather then it's newer and heavily stripped down successor. Seems to be more like a console port then a game designed for PC.
I hear good things about the single player though.
edit: Saw a nice little picture.
