egads, did you have to make so many things bold?

[what]

egads, did you have to make so many things bold?

With the odd tag visible I think it was just a ****-up.

[Browno]

Sorry for the bold **** up, all sorted now :)

[jerzdawg]

Really cant wait for this game... CoD4 was the first game that got me hooked to playing my 360... no other game would get me to "reset" all my MP perks/guns/attachments multiple times to reach the next level of prestige...

@Browno - Can you add US prices as well?...

Standard Edition: $59.99 - PC $59.99

Hardened Edition: $79.99

Prestige Edition: $149.99

Good work Browno. Although the general rule we came up with is official topics are best left closer to launch, otherwise we end up with 100+ pages before the game is even released.

I suppose this will make it easier to keep everything in one place though as it's going to be popular.

Yup this is far too early, the topic will end up with pages of general chat before the game even comes out.

1~2 weeks before launch is usually best.

(no offence Browno, it's just the way it tends to work best...)

[Ridlas]

No map packs for pc? F***** :/

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

The maps are only timed exclusive for the X360, no doubt they will release for the PS3 and PC at a later date.

[SMELTN]

yeah that sucks about the map packs....... I am REALLY having a hard time deciding if I want to purchase this for the PC or the Xbox...

BTW thats funny on the box art.. They are taking the COD out of everything to do with the game, yet they are leaving it on the box art in small print, JUST so some people know its still Call of Duty.

[jerzdawg]

No map packs for pc? F***** :/

Im annoyed that they already have two map packs planned.... I still feel like CoD:MW should have had more then 1 map pack.. its still in the top 3 games on live yet the support for it dropped off the face of the planet after the first map pack..

[Ridlas]

yeah that sucks about the map packs....... I am REALLY having a hard time deciding if I want to purchase this for the PC or the Xbox...

joystick for aiming FTL, I'd rather play a few maps with a mouse than play alot with a joystick

Oh I agree 100%, but more developers are pushing away from PC gaming and focusing their attention on consoles, due to piracy, cheating, etc.. ?So I know we probably don't have to much longer to go on PC gaming, unless we are playing Universe of Blizzard or something..?

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

And the off topic discussion has already begun, and we're still on page 1 :laugh:

Edit: rhyming ftw

Thats why we have to buy the pc versions more, to show the devs that we still care about the pc and not just for the console

[Chasethebase Veteran]

So they've reattached the Call of Duty name? Interesting.

[Ridlas]

So they've reattached the Call of Duty name? Interesting.

It was always attached.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

No it wasn't. They removed it and Modern Warfare was going to be a spin off, as this is the first true sequel in the CoD series.

Then it was later added back.

Actually here's the full story: (yes it's wiki but it's true)

Modern Warfare 2 was originally referred to under the working title Call of Duty 6.[4] The game was originally announced under the title Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 by Activision on December 3, 2008.[10] Activision subsequently retracted their announcement, stating that any information about an upcoming Call of Duty game was "speculative";[11] a notion shared by Infinity Ward who also asserted that they had not officially confirmed their latest project.[12] On February 11, 2009, Activision officially announced Modern Warfare 2 and set a tentative release date for "Holiday 2009."[2]

And it was added again last month with the first showing of the art work and limited editons.

[Jimmy0]

Just a shame I have to pay ?43 for it.:((

[nbtc971]

Any word on if they have improved the online experience? With COD4 MW you can't track your friends online, can easily find servers and add them to your favorites, Lots of servers don't even get listed on the server list, etc.

I wish they'd hook up with Steam that would make it much more enjoyable.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

I predict Page 87 at least for discussion pertaining to when the game is actually out.

[Manish]

Just a shame I have to pay ?43 for it.:((

Pre-ordered for about ?36. Isn't the Argos 20% deal still running? Tesco Direct have 20% off too, but it's out of stock for now.

[Konstanov]

I predict Page 87 at least for discussion pertaining to when the game is actually out.

What was the high bid? 87?

I bid 88!

WHAT YOU GOING TO DO NOW?

[Jimmy0]

Pre-ordered for about ?36.Isn't the Argos 20% deal still running?> Tesco Direct have 20% off too, but it's out of stock for now.

Didn't you have to pay now for the Argos pre-order? I'm not a big fan of paying upfront when it comes to pre-orders.://
