COD: Modern Warfare 2

[taemo]

to add more insult to the PC community, Modern Warfare 2 PC Multiplayer Capped At 9v9
http://kotaku.com/5397149/modern-war...-capped-at-9v9

it's definitely beginning to feel like IW just getting lazy big time and making a direct port from the console, poorly I would say as they are just slowly releasing PC info as it gets closer to release date.

I was originally planning to boycott the game at first and purchase it sometimes next year, but 9v9 and 6hrs SP..I might just pirate this.

9v9?!?! SERIOUSLY?! OMFG I loved CoD WaW Because I would play 20v20 maps on hardcore mode... but 9 v 9? Jesus christ I play counterstrike games bigger than that!

McCandlish explained that an 18-player cap was related to "the number of players we focused on when we were balancing map size, perks, classes, challenges, etc."

wgaf! balancing, fairness for the noobs, the laziness is definitely showing now, i'll be trying the SP with an ISO file and thats about it for me and this game.

who wants to kill the same 9 people over and over again, what happened to the good old days with 32-40 man servers and intense fire fights. 9v9 will be the top 4 of each team owning everyone..

edit: BFBC2 wont let me down, i'm almost certain for the 40-60 man servers for that game.

some maps i don't mind the 15 vs 15 and all but other times on like HC TDM its ridiculous. i'd spawn and then die from an airstrike. spawn again and then die from spray and pray bullets hahaha. (cod mw)

Agreed. On PS3 i don't even touch Ground War, its just way to unorganized and hectic. Map sizes aren't meant for that many people at once.

Lots of people with it early it seems.

[syeve]

OMGOMGOMG. If I get this stupid game before the weekend, I will be a fucking hermit.

[CSMRX7]

A lot of stores are showing the PS3 version in stock. Has anyone gone and tried to pick it up. I thought it wasn't avaliable until next Tuesday?

[beecue]

^^ How? I was going to attempt getting someone at FS or BB to give it to me but I read it won't scan in their system, it will say it comes out Nov.10. Leaderboards are going to be reset as well for launch.

[acmilano]

What are the chances i could pick this game up on the 10th? Seems like everyone preordered it so will i have to wait a week until stores are back in stock again?

[calgarygts]

I'm wondering the same thing....where is the best place to get this for the launch?

[Xamim]

My plan is to go to school and hand in my lab at 8am. Then stop by every Walmart, Zellers, EB games etc on the way back home.

[ZEDGE]

Best Buy are doing midnight openings.

[beecue]

^^ So is Futureshop, I already posted it. Hardened Edition has been dropped to $90.

[kolumbo69]

Man why do I have to have finals and a 6 page essay due next week

[beecue]

I just pre-ordered mine at Bestbuy, you get a $10 Gift Card. I originally thought you wouldn't be able to use it to purchase the game but you can.

It gets worse for the PC players :\
