Pre-purchase Modern Warfare 2? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Has anyone from Canada been able to pre-purchase this yet? Alot of my friends from the US have already pre-purchased it but when I ask here they say its not an option yet. Does anyone know when we will be able to?

Just found out the PC version will not be allowing dedicated servers or mods. This could spell epic FAILURE for the game.

I won't be buying this game anymore and I've heard over 70,000 PC pre-orders were canceled when they announced this.

I've debated boycotting the game and not buying it because of Infinity Ward bitch slapping PC gamers (who are the ones that put COD where it is now). In the end I'll probably get it anyway because I loved COD4 so much.

LOL, their excuse is that they want to use matchmaking to protect noobs from being pwned or otherwise abused on custom hardcore servers. I understand the whole ranking system, but the matchmaking and the custom servers should both be included and just kept separate. Can they even handle the massive amount of players that will be trying to play on launch day? Please don't tell me it will be player-hosted lobbies.

I don't understand their concern. They don't need to hold people's hands. It's easy to find a server with the regular difficulty and not the hardcore difficulty which would characterize a pro server.

You can get the Steam version pre-ordered, but where are you trying to pre-order from? Might be better looking for a Canadian retailer rather than the ones listed on the MW2 site.

Screw MW2, i'm all about BFBC2 at least it doesn't try to pass itself off for a single player game. vehicles, destructable environments, squad vs squad focus
