Updates: Even after the game is launched PC gamers are being left in the cold as Steam customers will not be able to play the game until November the 12th! Hooray!

3 million copies of the game have been shipped to the UK to satisfy the customers until Christmas. The 900,000 copies five-day sales record that GTA 4 currently holds is bound to be broken!

Deredactie reports that in Belgium all sale records will be broken with already a total of 11.000 people standing in line at the midnight launch.

Razor1911 was the first release group to deliver a crack at 15:40 this afternoon. Skidrow also released a PROPER version.

This article will be updated with reviews and news of the first day of the game.

Morrisons have it for £25.99 - Sainsburys seemingly sold out in most places.

sine 10 Nov 2009, 12:57
Yep, I cancelled my Amazon order when I heard yesterday thank god and managed to grab it for £26 this morning! Only 3 copies left when I got there. Was late to work because of it, but oh well :D

IGN's given it a 9.5 http://ps3.ign.com/articles/104/1043552p1.html

The single player seems a little short and slightly less realistic than the previous one but I still can't wait to play through it :D

Plus yay @ martyrdom removal!

"Razor1911 was the first release group to deliver a crack at 15:40 this afternoon. Skidrow also released a PROPER version."

So I can download and try the singleplayer without installing that steam shit?
▼
cl4ym4n 10 Nov 2009, 23:50
Yeah, but make sure you get the Skidrow Release... Razors rls still requires steam to be installed. Guess they just wanted to be 1st rather than to provide a proper release without the steamshit...

sHiZo 11 Nov 2009, 02:39

But tbh I just finished the SP and it's still worth buying it!

I tend to agree to the 3/10 review most.

And their oppinions weren't influenced by getting early previews and exclusive interviews. These are without doubt the most unbiased reviews out there.

Usually those magazines only care about the SinglePlayer. I have no doubt the SP rocks again. :->

Gamesplanet – 7/10
BigPond - 3/10

These two are kind of the only ones that are really subjective!
Parent

Hope 12 Nov 2009, 16:20
Obviously BigPond didn't get any exclusives!

Only one thing is sure: no way in hell they will ever get one :D

Actually the 3/10 is the user rating for the MP and Big Ponds (GameArena) rating for the MP is 5/10.

The SP got a 9.5/10:
"Editor's note: This is a review of the multiplayer portion of the PC version of Modern Warfare 2 - our opinion of the single player campaign outlined in our console review remains consistent here in the PC version of the game."

And btw, this is a nice read :)

what a shit game :D

kuraigu 12 Nov 2009, 17:38
i only care about the SP part. who givers a fuck about MP?

the most MP games this year were a fail, this one will follow as i heard.

steam shit (not that i have a prob with it. i have steam since before cf was born),
no dedicated servers anymore,
11-15gb of installation just for some MP ?? ..

they shud go fuck theirself, exorbitant confident fucks ..

ashkan 12 Nov 2009, 22:09
Did u play this game? I doubt :). There are not decicated servers, but u can creat own, I mean something like p2p, it works much better, no more UNHIT players :). The only "-" so far is lack of Record function. So first, buy a game, get PC to play with it @ stable fps, then comment.

kuraigu 13 Nov 2009, 20:20
as i wrote, the SP will surely be kickass again.
and yes i am playing it, and SP is kickass!! .. the rest is still meant as i wrote it!

foo 13 Nov 2009, 12:11
