That's horrible. Makes me think that Infinity Ward was drinking some of Treyarch's kool-aid. holy cow.

Btw Audio, I am getting it for Console also, which sucks, because I HATE playing FPS games on the xbox, but no reason to waste my time/money on the PC version with it being some dumb now.

Does anyone know how much Tescos are selling MW2? I have a Tescos Extra near me so I'll probably pop in there at midnight.

I heard if you buy another top 20 game they'll sell you it for either ?20 or ?26, but I have no idea what standard price they are running with.

Probably ?32 to match Asda. It seems no one is willing to match Sainsburys.

Not just the sawn offs

Any smg & pistol can be 'akimbo'ed.

That's perfectly rational, but a sawn off shotgun?! You might as well akimbo a Desert Eagle (Which if it's in the game [can't remember] cannot be akimbo'd).

Also, that Sniper looks badass.

I've been playing multiplayer most of the day today and I've come to the conclusion that there is just too much ****. They've really gone way overboard with all the stuff that is going on in the game and all the unlockables and challenges.

It feels like an arcade game. There is so much clutter and happy meals falling from the sky on parachutes and harriers and helis and airstrikes and uavs and counter uavs all going on at once. It feels like the twelve players are balls bouncing around a pinball machine with pointscore indicatrors flashing all over. It's just crazy times!

Where do I insert the quarters?!

I'm probably going to suck hard at online :laugh:

If Tescos is anything like it was when GTAIV was released. Get their early.

9pm early.

Yeah I heard Tesco is either ?28/32...

Cheers lads, I'll probably pop in at 9pm then >_> And most probably do the shopping at the same time :(o :(

Wut ? so even buying retail you have to use steam :| ?

Yep.

Having it connected with Steam is a good thing, Punkbuster cheat protection is 10x worse.

Although everything else, thoughts already shared :p

I went with the console version, seeing as I got it for the same price the PC version would be and there's actually basically no benefit to getting it on the PC now over console... aside from graphical improvements.

I agree that the steam connection is fine, I like steam :D. Just that HAVING to have an internet connection to install/play is a little shoddy, plus (and i know this is very minor) I can't play it until tomorrow even though it's sitting here :(

well doesn't make much sense having retail copies then. considering the restrictions would have been wiser to save few bucks and go steam exclusive considering they in part already have pretty much even though you're paying insane amount on steam for it.

modern warfare 2/IW in general summed up lol:

Yep, if I'd known it was steam either way I'd have just bought it digital. Ah well. Perhaps, possibly, we can say it can't get any worse for PC users? :D

Plus I think this is more Activision making the big decisions and screwing us over than IW.

Audio you going on 360 or PSpoo? :D

PS3, free online :p

My Live sub ends this month, and I have an abundance of real life friends buying over both platforms. IW made COD4 pretty much identical on both platforms, so I don't think I have anything to worry about in that sense.

    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers by Karthik Mudaliar SpaceX reportedly wants to sell mobile phone plans directly to consumers in the United States as part of a wider expansion of Starlink. According to a report from the Financial Times, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell discussed the plan with investors during the company’s recent IPO roadshow. The company is also said to be considering building a terrestrial mobile network to complement Starlink’s satellite coverage. The plan is quite different from how Starlink currently operates in the U.S. mobile market. SpaceX already provides satellite connectivity for T-Mobile’s T-Satellite service, but T-Mobile remains responsible for the subscription, billing, and customer support. A Starlink-branded mobile service would give SpaceX control of the customer relationship instead. It could also turn the company from a partner of traditional mobile operators into a direct competitor. T-Mobile also began testing its Starlink-powered satellite service in early 2025. The beta was initially limited to text messaging and was also available to some AT&T and Verizon customers. The service has since expanded to support limited data access through selected apps, including WhatsApp, Google Maps, AccuWeather, and AllTrails. It is designed to provide a connection in areas where normal cell towers are unavailable, rather than replace a conventional mobile network. However, if SpaceX actually has a plan to serve nationwide, it needs to do more than just satellite networks and actually support on-ground operations. It can also partner up with existing carriers and become a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). With that said, SpaceX has already spent heavily to support its mobile ambitions. Just last year, the company agreed to acquire wireless spectrum licences from EchoStar in deals worth a combined $19.6 billion. EchoStar's spectrum includes AWS-4, H-Block, and AWS-3 frequencies that could be used for both satellite and terrestrial communications. According to a SpaceX securities filing, the Federal Communications Commission approved the transaction in May 2026, although it is not expected to close until late 2027. There's no official statement by SpaceX for now. Pricing, availability, and other details remain unknown. Source: Financial Times
