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?

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.

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

no more steam talk please, unless it is specifically related to the release of CoD MW2.

So why did they make a deal to use Steam? Apart from Steam, Valve are awesome, and it doesn't make sense to via Steam to give money to another game making company (Vale, the company that owns Steam). Unless, from Steam, IF get more money, as they get to bypass shops such as Amazon, GAME etc, because they can sell their products through Steam?

ummm.........

maybe so they had to put minimal effort into the PC multiplayer, and just let steam take the fall for the lack of reliable multiplayer, like with ETW.

That isn't really how it works. Steam is a distribution system combined with a bit of social networking. The MP servers are unrelated to Steam, and that's common knowledge.

Exactly, Steam is like Last.fm for gamers, except Steam does updates.

That doesn't make any sense. Apart from the fact that Steam is run by a company called Valve, who have numerous times over proved their ability to use Steam in MP, (TF2 Anyone? Counterstrike?), MP in COD was developed by IF rather than "Steam", so a bad MP would leave IF liable.
