[Arcmanov]

I am liking that PS3 setup the more I look at it.  I just wish it could integrate
a keyboard somehow.

So you can't adjust graphics settings in the PC version...not really a big deal for me,
but you need an internet connection for lan play...

...an INTERNET connection...for LAN play...

Yeah is a hassle but at least internet penetration is much higher these days. Is it just one pc needed to authenticate online when on the lan?

[Berzerk]

errm who said u cyar adjust graphical settings?


and that lan issue...is being worked on...

[Spazosaurus]

This game may just partially revive the LAN party scene.

Blizzard is doing it for SC2, so this isn't something new, just new in the particular game.

W1ntry as for Modern Warfare 2, console gamers have been using this matchmaking technology for a few years with games such as the original modern warfare, halo, gears 2 etc. I took it as a given modern warfare 2 would perform just as good  :p

I know, I said I think it works BETTER than its predecessor online.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Review
It's set to be one of the biggest selling games of all time. Is it one of the greatest?

November 10, 2009 - Over the years the Call of Duty series has set the bar for immersive, action-packed, cinematic FPS gaming, and no matter what camp you're from there's no denying the franchise's influence on the industry. When Infinity Ward moved from the classic World War II setting and blazed new ground with Modern Warfare we saw the first obvious split within the world of Call of Duty. The series dropped its historic focus, created a new cast of characters, and began treading on new ground by taking the first-person shooter genre to new locales, and pushing the boundaries of what military games are willing to show. With Modern Warfare 2, the sheer amount of hype has been practically inescapable, with preorders alone setting it up as one of the biggest selling games of all time, the addition of even more multiplayer modes and features, and the game's new Special Operations mode has set Infinity Ward's lastest up as the game to beat this year.

The real question: has it been worth the wait, and can Modern Warfare 2 live up to the precedent set by over half a decade of Call of Duty tradition?

Is it one of the greatest?

YES

Get your facts straight on that eh...SC2 will have NO lan play at all.

I didn't mind when they took out lan play from Battlefield 2142. The maps were so large,
that playing them in a lan environment just wouldn't work, unless you could somehow get
30 people in a room somewhere.  In the context of MW2's gameplay and map size, this is
yet another bull$#!t move by IW. 

There goes yet another feature that makes PC gaming great.

Wow...progress iwmc.

Doesn't MW2 have Lan play?

[chinarakinda]

Yeah I think it does, there is a Lan Party option on the Main Menu.

[Arcmanov]

Ah...but all players need Steam connected accounts to play in said LAN.  Not cool.

Imagine this review actually says to skip the PC version.  I thought it was just me.

yea I read that article also good read -back to listening to the Trans Siberian Orchestra-

[W1nTry]

Again, all to combat piracy... you're right SC2 doesn't support LAN... even BIGGER EPIC FAIL... I doh see yuh bawling down blizzard and pelting rotten eggs at them for this. And in ACTUALITY, what they are doing is something I suggested on this VERY forum. Allow LAN play but with an identification process linked to steam. Heck to play HL2 I had to connect to steam and that was freaking SINGLE PLAYER... O_O so again how is this different arc?

[Redlum08]

............people still complaining.........

Oh gorm Arcman, leave it be, you made your point, you not giving your money to IW and Activision....someone CLOSE THE THREAD!!!! Allyuh just going in circles....

[Nephilim]

i share redlums sentiments

[W1nTry]

i share redlums sentiments

TAKE WIN!!!

Also I am seriously considering locking seeing as the pic depicts.... the hatemail is surely beating a dead horse. But I think ppl should be allowed their 2c (for now) if they still beating it in a week, i'll either lock or 'strongly suggest' only ppl who OWN or have played/playing the game even bother to post.

[Crixx_Creww]

how alyuh go wah stop men from bad talking a game?

you go stop ah man from good talking a game>?

[W1nTry]

If all a man does is bad talk a game he/she doesn't play, doesn't own and never will, whats the point? their input is about as useful as a cock flavoured lollipop. Posting articles, reviews good or bad is fine but if that's ALL you do, then move on, leave the thread to ppl that actually want to discuss their experience with the game. I said everyone deserves a 2c, but beating a dead horse for beating it sake? that's tantamount to SPAM.
