MW2: 1 Day To Go - Updates

With only one day to go before we can all enjoy our (pirated?) copy of Modern Warfare 2, the next instalment of the Call of Duty series, the anticipation can't be more extensive.

Retailer Gamestop purposely broke the November 10th street date this weekend, which means a whole lot US citizens are able to buy the game before the official release date, resulting in Modern Warfare 2 footage has spawning all over the internet.

This is a little compilation of the best video's. Most of them are from the multiplayer part, however beware of spoilers!









Next to these often spoiler-loaded youtube video's, the Americans were kind enough to supply us with a full list of weapons featured in the game.

Furthermore, other developers are following the release of the biggest title of the year closely. At around 4:27 on GTTV’s Nintendo Special, Reggie Fils-Aime confidently states that the New Super Mario Bros. Wii will "outsell Modern Warfare 2 on a single platform".

Basically, he predicted that the Mario game would sell better than the 360 or PS3 versions of the shooter.

He did however state that it’s going to be a close race, and he thinks MW2 will be a great game and plans on playing it. Listen and watch for yourself here.

As if PC gamers don't have enough bad luck already with their MW2 version, now it seems the game doesn't even work properly. The PC version comes with 2 discs but it seems that only the actual game is working and not the extra content.

MapModNews reports that "the first DVD/Disc is about 6.9 GB which seems to be the standard size for games that are coming out now. Unfortunately, each drive refuses to recognize the DVD. The DVD drives rattle around and you can hear the disc just clattering in the DVD Drive. Now when something like this happens, questions comes to mind and that is if this is a manufacturing defect and if there are other discs out there that have this problem."

A German game magazine reports the same problem. Every drive in their editorial office refuses the second DVD (they have seven PC's and four copies Modern Warfare 2 for PC). They say it’s definitely a production error.

Luckily for some most of this "bad news" actually works in favour of the pirates and release groups. The jihad about dedicated servers, the latest interview with the developers about the PC version of the game, and now the early sales will result in a faster cracked game with a lot more illegal downloads. Bummer for Activision!

I think it's safe to say, this game has not competitive future.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't, but the SP will be one hell of a mothafucking sweet ride!
Parent
Agreed. But, I'm simply not an SP gamer : (
Parent
Did you play CoD4 SP?
Parent
Nope.

Been told it's the most awesome shit ever. My concentration levels for playing games alone are at 0 :D
Parent
Not that one dude, not that one.
Parent
I got bored after level 3 of COD4 SP, tried MP then uninstalled.
Parent
lolwat :D
I don't believe you.
Parent
Can actually understand him.
Parent
I really liked it though, best SP I've ever played.
Parent
RtCW was the best SP I ever played :( But I guess its something to do with how you step into that game, how old you are and how fascinated you are. Never enjoyed a game as much as the good old RtCW. I didn't even play HL2 through nor any other "recent" game. (despite CoD1+2)
Parent
You should give CoD4 a try, since I also tend to not like SP. I do love that game however!
Parent
Every FPS SP game I've come across, despite impressive graphics etc massively lacks intuition and is painfully repetitive. Even the best games suffer from this - we've played MP for years, adapted to how skilled people think, logical ways to play, differing gamestyles and frankly expect better - SP still can't offer that.

Think it's a problem with the way our minds work :p we seek out the most logical efficient way of doing shit, which sucks all the fun outta it! Learn how to beat then repeat - it's nothing compared to the variety of mp!
Parent
Are you a programmer? Cause programmers (such as me) are the most lazy people around, since their job exists of letting a PC do repetitive things for them. Which kind of resembles to what you were saying, as in finding the most efficient way of doing things.
However, I do enjoy a good action movie. And a lot of the cinematic artifacts found in those movies can also be found in the CoD games. For example the scene where you're running through the woods with a nice red sky and all of a sudden you see 2 huge rockets fired off through the sky with this huge smoke trail behind them. Or the sniper mission, which is basically no shooting whatsoever, just sneaking around in an all-scripted mission. It really makes gaming more exciting and a lot more fun to do imo.
Parent
Try playing Portal, excellent single player.
Or Prometheus (http://www.moddb.com/mods/prometheus), which just came out on UDK. That shit is HARD.

But yes indeed, MP is what its all about.
Parent
COD4 SP was jesus christ one of the best games i have ever played... it was also the first modern game i have ever played, i bought my very first "gaming PC" in 2007, where the new COD4 just got released a week after, and it was just a shock playing it. before that, i used to play a lot of ET/gw/max payne / pop and etc, and suddently playing that game was amazing
Parent
so you tell me cod4 is better then max payne? :X
Parent
na no chance in the world :s
Parent
Max payne was awesome indeed! Best atmosphere in any game yet!
Parent
so true, i cried everytime i finished the game, which was loads, and i was also young, so it was a scary game :o
Parent
you cried? :D

epic
Parent
lol throwing knife jaymod
Too bad this version won't work. It's the steam version, which means it does not contain an .exe file.
Once the game is released on steam, people will have the exe, but then they still require a cd-key to play the SP. So then you need the crack. Seeing as the crack can only be made when they have the original .exe, they will take at least 1 day or 2 after the 10th before you can play it.
Parent

i won't even download that shit... i don't really care about singleplayer... so i have to stick with CoD4 it seems. :(
Didn't you play the CoD4 SP? This MW2 SP is going to be even better!
Parent
yeah but i personally don't care about singleplayers and like never play them... last singleplayer i played was halo1 or something back in 2002 or so :D

just me personally... so i won't download the game (and for sure not buy it) just for the singleplayer
Parent
