Just free for the weekend, and then I have to stump up the cash to continue playing right (not talking about using Steam, talking about buying the game)?

Correct.

Must be desperate, which is understandable after they ruined the game by removing dedicated servers and custom map/mod abilities.

Exactly and there's a bigger community playing COD:MW over MW2. Let MW2 burn so activision can't cashcow on it.

I played this on my PS3, then sold it (the game not the PS3 :p ). But to try it out on my PC with more mates should be fun, I'll be giving it a try.

They aren't desperate at all, they are prepping for the map pack release I'm sure.

There are way more people playing MW2 than MW1 on PC. Sure, stats wise most of those people on IWNet are playing SP or Co-op, but still there are roughly 15-20,000 MW1 players at any given time and anywhere from 45-180,000 MW2 players at any given time.

They are gonna cash cow on it no matter what you guys think sadly. That new map pack sold 2.5 million copies already in a week on XBL.

Tried to download in Steam beta and link didnt work :(

Are you sure? I tried the link, and although the preload window that comes up shows no progress (stuck at 0%), I checked my traffic monitor and steam was maxing out my connection.

yea there is a issue with the beta client and pre-downloads. you need to go back to the old client and use that.

Bingo.. they are getting ass kicked by BC2 now and their online numbers of players are dropping severely. This is what they have to do in order to keep spiking up the number of people.

I haven't played MW2 in a month and have no desire to go back to it to be perfectly honest.

i really don't think they care about numbers and bc2 too much... they are still dominating overall

Well I saw a graph a few days ago showing alot of players moving from MW2 to BC2. No idea how valid it is though.

Dont fool yourself. As good as BC2 does its miniscule compared to MW2 numbers.
