Wishlist for CoD: MW2

[naut]

So my copy of CoD arrived this morning and I was excited. Then to my horror I saw that it requires Steam. I HATE STEAM! So I promptly put it back in the postage box with the foamy balls and taped the box closed. Placed enough stamps on it and wrote the address of the place I pre-ordered it from on the box. Went to the post office and had it posted as a bulky item. Sent an email to them, and they have replied just now and are sending me my money back. Awesome.

"Where players must repair Humvees for 10 hours a day"

-Collect Cigarette Butts outside Office
-Repair 3200 Humvees

that was an epic won Monk. I wish I could give you a frickin zeppelin just for finding that!

They don't have the Onion in SC? Hell, I live in the UK and I know what the Onion is. I wish they had it over here...

Niiice. But why do you hate Steam? Sure, it's a real pain, but why do you dislike it so much?

Steam is great. There is no logical reason for any hate.

I've had nothing but bad experiences with Steam in the past and as such I make sure I do not use their "services" whenever possible.

The only time I use Steam is when borrowing my brother's PC to play L4D and probably L4D2 when that comes out.

As much as I want to play games like CoD:4:2 and TF2 I do not like Steam and I'd rather not bother with the potential hassle.

Seems like you had no bad experiences for L4D.

If it is because of E:TW, then blame CA for releasing a bad game, not Steam.

No, I just breathe deep and close my eyes until the game has actually loaded.

ETW? Eww. I take that as a significant insult. The last CA game I actually really played was MTW-VI.

the console reviews of MW2 are amazing.
the PC reviews, not so much.

SC? NC i believe you mean. and if its a show....than i dont think so. i just thought the vid was hilarious.

and i too harbor a deep, eternal hatred for steam. for the release of ETW. it is not the game itself i hate (I like it, especially modded) but how the release and patches and auto-patch goes. it means if i want to play a mod, i have to re-copy-paste all the data back into the folder. and hope it works. and then once i exit, i get to do it again if i want to play more.



back ontopic guys!!!


so, i just read the story online; sounds pretty boring:

*WARNING!!! HUGE SPOILER TO FOLLOW!!!*

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

so the start is just basic fighting, and then the story starts at our oh so beloved airport level (complete sarcasm in case no one saw it). the russians see the american body, and then DoW on america. then they attack D.C., and the multi-national task-force 141 tries to find the terrorist leader's rival in Rio de Jainero. it turns out to be Cpt. Price from cod 4, and he hijacks a nuclear submarine from russia. than he fires a nuke at DC, but makes it detonate in space and take out the ISS. the sudden lack of communication from both countries forces means the army ranger unit has to go re-capture the white house, place green smoke, and prevent a massive carpet bombing.

than Nikolai (also from the first game) brings Price to a safehouse. they are now fugitives.

not. overused. at all. russia and us have a misunderstanding and then have a massive war. never seen that.

note my over-use of sarcasm. ill get it in the bargain bin in a few months.






story-aside, with the same engine and ability to use an AC-130, and weapons besides just american and terrorist, id say its better multiplayer wise than CoD4 on the consoles. still, ill just keep my nazi zombies and PPSH's for another year.

Apologies.

Um. That has never happened to me, and I've used plenty of mods (Goldeneye Source FTW)
