Modern Warfare 2 - who´ll grab it?

Bullshit did they do it to make a scandal. They did it to make you hate Makarov, and hate him I do. To tell a traditional story you need to have protagonists and antagonists, you have to like or sympathise with the protagonists and hate tha antagonists. For example that's why horror movies fall flat on their faces nowadays, the complete inability to like the protagonists.
Sure, IW go to pretty ridiculous lengths to make you hate Makarov with that airport mission, but it's a game for adults, who in theory should be able to handle such imagery (they may not like watching it, it may make them feel dirty, but the point is that they can handle it, as it's a means to an end. The end being hating makarov.) The contraversy surrounding the mission shouldn't exist.



I shot quite a few, but it was more out of a sense of character. You're supposed to be earning Makarov's trust as you're undercover. Not shooting anyone would look weird.
This. :lol:

I played through the campaign yesterday. It was so awesome. :)
 
has anyone else playing the pc version had this issue? every 20 minutes or so, modern warfare 2 minimizes for no reason. I can't figure out why, and it's annoying.

I ended up buying it, I haven't had that problem...

Did you pay for it? reason I ask is because a few forums have said that the minimizing problem is from the cracked version....

Otherwise, make sure your windows firewall is COMPLETELY disabled(or properly allow the game through), and go into the steam settings and disable overlays. That might fix it....

Also turn off your auto standby, screen saver, etc in your power options...
 
Graphics Comparison up on Gamespot

As expected, the differences between the console versions and PC (especially 360 and PC) are ridiculously subtle ;) (and neither the console versions or the PC version were running at their highest possible resolution)
 
Hm, when compared to the PC screenshots, the others look like a blurry mess, to me at least. Anyway, it's not the most important aspect of a game, imo.
 
Yeah it's no different among the platforms....

And it's also no different from COD4, this whole game is just the same thing with new maps and extra perks.

Oh I agree it's not anywhere near the most important aspect, but if the graphics of the PC version could be considered 10, I'd put the 360 and PS3 versions at 9.5 and 9, respectively; IMO the blurriness is there but very subtle! Mainly I was just trying to make the poit that despite everything I read about PC graphics dominating those of consoles, I have yet to really see it

If anything I think the console versions are easier on the eye, the pc version looks a tad gritty.
 
You heared the latest news, dudes?

Call of Duty - Modern Warfare 2 was secluded by Activision for the Russian market. "It´s to explosive", they say. It´s about the legendary airport scene. Seems like the uncut version is going to be valueable more and more.

Only really applies to Crysis as far as I'm concerned. Doesn't seem like any other developers are putting as much of an emphasis on graphics as Crytek is.

That's because for this particular game, they didn't really allow it too.

I have a bunch of games on PC that my buddy has on 360, and he can't believe how much better they look on my system. L4D is one of them, COD4, Orange Box(HL2, TF2, Portal), all the Tom Clancy stuff....

I bought my copy. I'll try adjusting those settings.

EDIT: it looks like AVG 9 might be the problem. One forum said if you upgraded avg from a lower version to 9to wipe avg and reinstall it fresh from a 9 installer. I'm going to try that and hopefully it works.
 
Now I have played the first 6 levels...and holy shit, it´s intense! No breather, just action! I really enjoyed directing the missiles with the notebook..hahahaha it was kind of insane fun, I had with this :D And the rooftop sequence was very good as well.

Oh yeah I forgot about that, if you read on the steam forums, lots of people are having issues with AVG..... Hope you get it fixed, that would be annoying as hell having it minimize all the time.

You won't like those missiles once you try playing online a bit... I can't get 5 minutes into a match without a hellfire or chopper mowing me down....

Hahaha I hear ya, dude. Can´t wait to play it online! Wanna finish the single mission first. HOLY SHIT The dungeon mission is awesome. So far I can say:

Each mission I played is a highlight in videogame history!!! I´m amazed :yow:
 
Well...after I finished the single player campaign, I´d like to take the focus more on the multiplayer section. But first let me say, that I ABSOLUTELY DIG the single player mode! I was repeatedly surprised! Short yes...but it´s the most brutal and intense game I ever played. It was enthralling, thrilling and pretty demanding. I guess...being in war for real is no fucking fun! The game seems very credible. Okay that was my cup of coffee about the the sp. Now let´s talk about the heart of MW2 - the Multiplayer section.

Do you like the Multiplayer so far? Do you think, it´s better than COD4? Are you already addicted? :)
