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

    • Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals by Sayan Sen Recently we covered great deals on several soundbar models from the likes of Sony, JBL, Samsung and others for really good prices (the lowest in several months). Aside from that we also reported on the Edifier S3000MKII, a hi-fi two-way bookshelf monitor that's available for only $800. Today we bring a list of AV receivers from Onkyo that are available at great prices including the Onkyo NR7100, RZ30, and 8470 (purchase links under the specs table down below). The Onkyo TX-NR7100 and Onkyo TX-RZ30 are both 9.2-channel AV receivers designed for immersive home theater setups but they occupy slightly different tiers within Onkyo’s lineup with the RZ30 positioned as the more advanced model. The TX-NR7100 is a THX Certified 9.2-channel receiver offering up to 100 W per channel (8 ohms, 2 channels driven). It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced formats, with flexible configurations such as 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 speaker layouts. A key highlight is its built-in Dirac Live Room Correction which should help optimize sound based on your room and its acoustics. In comparison, both models share several core capabilities though the RZ30 is geared toward enthusiasts seeking more precise calibration and system flexibility, while the NR7100 is positioned as a slightly more accessible, value-focused option with strong all-round performance. The technical specs of the RZ30 and NR7100 9.2 AVRs are given in the table below: Specification Onkyo TX-RZ30 Onkyo TX-NR7100 Power Output (FTC, 2ch driven) ~100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) 100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) Dynamic / Peak Power 9 × 170 W (6Ω, 1kHz, 1% THD, 1ch driven) 220 W/ch (6Ω, 1kHz, 10% THD, 1ch driven) Frequency Response 5 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) 10 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) THD 0.08% 0.08% Room Correction Dirac Live (full bandwidth) Dirac Live (with AccuReflex support) Immersive Audio Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Speaker Layout Support Up to 7.2.2 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing Up to 7.2.4 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing HDMI Inputs / Outputs 6 inputs / 2 outputs (eARC) 6 inputs / 2 outputs (Main + Sub/Zone 2) HDMI 2.1 Support 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC Video Formats HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 Streaming / Network Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Get them at the links below: Onkyo TX-RZ30 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $797.00 (Sold and shipped by Electronic Expo) Onkyo TX-NR7100 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $699.00 (Sold and shipped by Adorma) Onkyo TX-8470 2 Ch Stereo Receiver: $449.00 (Sold and Shipped by Adorma) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      A different thing with Russia. When you say is it better, depends on things. It is better that we don't have the E.U making rules and laws that have nothing to do with them. Is the trading part better? No, that is really mucked up, but then we knew that was going to happen and we would have make agreements, like we do with other parts of the world. Freedom of movement is certainly better, but could be improved, we still need more control over our borders. do you live in the U.K?

      So what am I quoting from them? I never listened to what Farage or his cronies said. I wanted the U.K to leave the E.u years before the referendum and it had nothing to do with Farage and his cronies. So what country do you live in? Did we work much better together? We were always at logger heads with the E.U because we disagreed with them so much. Maggie was always on at them. I would have thought the E.U was glad to get rid of us as we stopped the integration or made it a two tier. Now without us they can integrate more. I would not have voted out if it was just a trading block and we can still work together on somethings.
