Good for those who are still undecided about mw2.

This is not the best way to show the game off(since most PC gamer HATE what they did to it). I've seen a hacker in every single game I've played tonight. Everyone that wants to hack or just hates the game itself is making a new steam name and throwing down hacks all weekend.

CernaML5135d ago

Yep, pretty much sums it all up. Playing this today made me remember why Infinity Ward failed so hard.

distorted_reality5135d ago

@1.1 - i'm very happy i'm not playing over the weekend.

As soon as I saw the ad for the free weekend I thought the influx of hackers would be massive.

Will be interesting to watch the player count over the weekend though.

Pandamobile5135d ago

Haha, it's almost the price of a regular game.

evrfighter5135d ago

lol it's still a dollar more than a new pc game.

This must be activision's way of telling the pc crowd that we will eventually be paying what they want us to pay.

ill play it for free this weekend with a cousin (in the process of getting his pc upgraded so we could bc2 it up). but at the end of the weekend ill still own 3 copies of BC2 and 0 copies of MW2

rawrockkillz5135d ago

Not even gonna bother with it. Excuse me while I go play some Battlefield.

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G263d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood263d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G263d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade262d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality262d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator261d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G262d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy85263d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai263d ago (Edited 263d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G263d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo263d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg263d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast262d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
