Argi Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 If only it included singleplayer - sadness. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trag3dy Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Nope, it's multiplayer only. I don't know if that includes Spec-Ops or not, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unable to preload either, something nice to try over the weekend and I'll take it as a sign MW2 is the weekend deal ^.^ Hope its 40% or more =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Activision is way to cheap to let their cash cow go on sale if it hasn't been out a year or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedon Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I'm confused. Isn't multiplayer always free on steam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookie Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I'm confused. Isn't multiplayer always free on steam? The game isn't. Steam occasionally does free weekends where you can download the game for free and play it for a weekend. We get these perks on the PC ya see! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soniqstylz Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 So apparently the Stimulus Package was downloaded 2.5 million times in one week: http://www.joystiq.com/2010/04/07/modern-warfare-2-stimulus-package-sells-over-2-5m-units-in-a-w/ Looks like we'd better learn to love our new $15 map packs. Way to go, XBox gamers. I'm sure just enough PS3 and PC gamers will follow suit to **** it up for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, now pc gamers who wouldnt buy because of crippled multiplayer can try it for free this weekend to prove what a great decision it was to avoid this game.

Hedon Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Cute. No a trial, as the game has full functionality. I wasn't trying to be cute. I was stating it was like a demo. It just so happens it's a demonstration of the MP portion of game for a very limited time. Where is the cuteness in it? I thought they were saying free MP weekend, and I thought that meant you had the whole weekend to play online against others free, while it's normally a charge. I didn't think that was the case, so I asked what they meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 9, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted April 9, 2010 $15 for a map pack is terrible. All it shows is mainstream gamers have no comprehension of pricing, if you want you'll buy. That's pretty much all publishers hear nowadays (hello waves of plastic instruments/accessories at shocking prices). The game with the first bend you over RRP bump everyone said others would follow, which they haven't, also has the most expensive map pack....

Sethos Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 <snipped> For some more on-topic discussion, I actually started playing the game again. Not because it has changed but because the selection of first-person shooters is pretty poor. BC2 was alright for a while but all this vehicle combat BS and whatnot destroys the FPS aspect, it's just one big random battlefield of death. Then I'd much rather pick the game that doesn't have vehicles; lesser of two evils basically. Though, I only play with some mates and not alone as I used to, a lot more enjoyable that way - Even started playing (HC) HQ. I really miss a "vanilla" FPS game, without vehicles, perks, killstreaks, bonuses, pick-ups, exploding barrels and cup of random and that's what I'm holding out for every single day :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
