[QUOTE=Zezibesh;18004827]Yeah, he has a "real" identity, but I really hope Gaz comes back[/QUOTE]
Why?
Gaz was my favorite character :(
Penny arcade did a comic on the pc controversy.
While you're at it read the news post.

Just a quick question: can you activate the validation keys of a retail MW2 copy in Steam?
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;18005595]Gaz was my favorite character :([/QUOTE]
same :buddy:
Aside from this, does anyone remember that if you stood next to Gaz or Captain Price that sounded as if they were still speaking through their radio's at like 3 feet away?
Read this in the press release.

Which probably means that you must install Steam for MW2 just as you need it for other Valve games.
Which makes me believe I can buy the retail version and activate it on Steam.
Which means I can buy the game retail for 35 euro instead of 50 on Steam.

[QUOTE=Stopper;18004774]Your theory is good. When the game is released, I bet there is going to be atleast one reference to "Sherley".[/QUOTE]
And that itself was a reference to the movie "Airplane!"

Woah woah woah, wait. Steam cloud? What the fuck would they need the cloud for. I don't like that.
The steam cloud fucked up team fortress with the random weapons, what the hell is it in MW2 for?

Do you even know what steam cloud is? Steam cloud has nothing to do with random weapons, apart from the fact that it tracks those things.

Oh. I remember hearing somewhere that
"The TF2 idler fools the steamcloud into thinking you are in a server, and gives you weapons/hats"
So I figured that that's what it did.
God damn I've been stupid lately. I think someone is putting something in my food.

Yeah, it tricks steam cloud into thinking that you are playing a game and that you unlocked the items.
As far as I know, steam cloud is the thing that tracks all the stats, settings, unlocks for all steam games.

Stat tracking. Playtime tracking. Achievements probably. Some other shit. The cloud is fairly useful.

These are getting a bit old, still I do believe that he says exactly (more or less) what everybody thought when they heard about the dedicated servers missing.

Also for anyone that missed it, here are some nice statements from Kotick: [url]http://www.geeks.co.uk/7282-activision%E2%80%99s-bobby-kotick-hates-developers-innovation-cheap-games-you[/url]
It would be nice if we could talk about Modern Warfare 2 instead of the whole server thing.
Nothing we can do is going to change the decision Infinity Ward made.

We can always raid Activision's and IW's Headquarters, and force them to change everything in it. :buddy:
But that isn't happening, since you can't form a force of gamer rioters so big to break in their place.
Does anyone know if there is going to be a pre-load for MW2 on steam?
I'm happy that IW has at least had the decency to tell us beforehand. I don't really see the problem, they're trying to be fair about something you may not agree with.
Oh, and I'd like to mention that while I enjoyed and favor the server system, if this is ANY good as they promise, I'm not worried.

How is: less than one month before release "beforehand". They should've told it when they decided to do it.

Technically it's still beforehand but it's pushing the limits.

A month is a pretty long time...
I've played CoD4 for the PC and the Xbox 360, and I liked the 360 much more. With the PC, it seemed like every single game I joined I had to download some new shitty mod and had some Star Wars music blasting, drowning everything else out. I found that when I actually wanted to play the regular game, I was out of luck, because every single server made me install something I'd never play again. With the Xbox 360, while there may not be as much customization, it's a hell of a lot faster to just pick up and play.
On a side note, I think it's going to be a very good game, despite the fact that there are no dedicated servers.

Well now you won't have that problem with the pc version.
Ugh. I'm still gonna buy it for the PC because I refuse to contine to keep playing for xbox live.
[QUOTE=Lucinice;18016080]Well now you won't have that problem with the pc version.[/QUOTE]
I'm still getting it for the Xbox, because I'm sick of PC gamers bitching about it.
good, because no one will be playing MP on pc.
if we wanted to play with retarded perks and retarded matchmaking, we'd play on retarded consoles
I won't get it for any platform.

Retarded perks? I was unaware the Console and the PC were getting two different sets of perks. I was also unaware that not being able to run mods or custom maps was 'retarded'.
