Free multiplayer weekend for this game starting Thursday at 4PM PDT. It says there is a preload for it but it doesn't work for me yet.

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 =]

The weekend deal is the free multiplayer weekend as I understood it from reading the Steam forums. Activision is way to cheap to let their cash cow go on sale if it hasn't been out a year or more.

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.

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.

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.

$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....

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

      I always thought the moon gets a lot of impact because there’s no atmosphere, so surely building a moon base is only going to end in disaster?

    • Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is heavily used in work and school environments, and perhaps one of its core but extremely useful features is the ability to record meetings. In past years, Microsoft has further improved upon this functionality by integrating AI, but you do need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to leverage most, if not all, all of those capabilities. Now, the Redmond tech firm is making another significant enhancement in the area of Teams meeting recordings. Up until now, if you wanted to access Teams recordings, you had to arduously locate the meeting invite and navigate to the dedicated tab, or go to the cloud storage location such as a SharePoint site. This was a rather overwhelming activity, especially if you don't remember the name of the meeting or the meeting occurred quite a while ago. Microsoft is now attempting to solve this problem through a dedicated Recap app that consolidates all your recordings. This centralized experience will allow users to find all recordings from the past 30 days and also offer access to other related services such as transcripts and AI-powered summaries. Customers will have the option to search for recordings, filter them, and review multiple meetings by generating AI-powered podcast-style recaps. The Recap app will list all available recordings in both thumbnail and list views. The former is shown below: And here is how Teams users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can select multiple recordings to generate a podcast-style audio recap: Microsoft has emphasized that the Recap app is pre-installed in Teams but it will not be pinned by default. Users will able to navigate to the Teams app store from the left rail, and pin it from the apps section. It will be enabled by default for all users once it becomes available. It's worth noting that while Teams recordings and transcripts can be accessed by all users governed by existing permissions, AI-powered features like intelligent summaries, audio recaps, and video recaps will require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. The Recap app will be generally available to Teams users on Windows, Mac, and the web by the end of next month, with mobile support coming soon.
