Hey people all over are saying this game doesn't suck, how could that be?
to quote hausers:
They took all the bad things everyone said about the first one and wrote a script that removed all those things from the second one.
Yea first one got fucking repetitive as hell. The 2nd one is nowhere like that.
One of the reason I like valve is because they take their time to make great lasting games. They clearly did not do that with l4d2. Valve has never made a great game in less then a year, hell no other AAA dev does that these days. And frankly it shows, it's one of the least updated sequels I've seen this gen. I haven't boycotted it as I did not buy the first, but this does lower my opinion of valve. I can imagine a good deal of people bought l4d thinking it would be like tf2, with the game constantly updated and with an ever growing community.
Since pirates got to play the game I've been having much better ping, probably due to the extra influx of people playing, haven't encountered any hacks so far. Which is a big concern as those people only have to fear losing a disposable steam account.
Isn't as bad as MW2, but I have no idea why anyone would be happy with how valve handled both l4d games.
The cracked MP just lets pirates play with legit players, there are no servers out yet 
No point in using it over normal mp.
**Spoiler** but I loled
Would it help to copy paste your install directory, crack it, create an alternate steam account, and play like that when servers are enabled? Cause as far as I know steam doesn't do ip bans, so never have to worry about mw2 or my whole primary account being banned if bans happen.
Never ever buy anything on impuls, weather it be games or other stuff. I always do research for reviews and experiences if I can. For me steam is convenient, as it can use click&buy, which is a service similar to paypal, except it accepts iDEAL, which is an instant way to transfer money from duch banks, and even if you don't transfer the money beforehand, it will buy the product for you and just wait till you pay. Paypal takes 2 weeks to transfer, which is a bitch, especially on ebay where seller expect the money in a few days. Funny thing is before I got my account verified it took 3 to 4 days on paypal.
The best reason I can think of is because they don't want you to mess in the customization window when you should be playing the game. But they could fix that buy either an 30 to 1 min afk timer, or by giving you some time ,before trowing you in a match when you join, to customize. Because of the lack of browser you cannot choose a specific map, and people will enter a snow map with red urban cammo and have no way of changing it. But even besides that, in mw1 some perks and load outs were really very situational, not really worth it having them in one of your 5 slots, so it would be nice to be able to quickly change them.
IIRC they did add it in mw1 with the modwarfare patch, but no one played that as you had to start over again, which I would not have minded if there were any servers in place for it.
What the reason for not allowing you to customize your class while in game?
It worked good on my rig on 1680x1050, everything "on" or high/extra, without AA, but chugged really badly at
EMP in Washington scene were so many airplanes are falling.
But if I take a look at this comparison video http://www.gametrailers.com/video/pc-ps ... fare/58992 , and how phenomenlol it looks and runs on old hardware like the 360/ps3, it could have run a lot better.
Even with the res discrepancy.
Rig is q6600 @2.4ghz, 2gb,8800gt
I'm not gonna lie to you, I played a lot on infantry only servers. I don't know, what to say, I loved playing vanilla bf2. But after some time it seemed vehicles servers tended to degenerate in to getting in a vehicle and being killed by an airplane, then being TK'ed while waiting for an airplane to take revenge. Also the prolonged sprinted helped a lot.
Anyway about the destruction, the vehicles were already immensely powerful (as they should be), but now a chopper will just blow the fuck out of a building, and a tank will blow trough a wall. I cannot see destruction like this beeing fun for gameplay, rather then a feature added because they know it looks good in trailers and is gonna excite a lot of people.
edit: you live in Sweden, do you work for dice, because i remember here being a dude that worked on Mirror's Edge.
TBH I wonder if this game will work with destruction like that. It seems to make vehicles even more powerful. Does the damage regenerate over time?
That's hilarious and sad at the same time.
Holy shit the amount of polish and attention to making everything as easy and smart as possible is what really tips this game in to greatness imo. And the dialog is on par with Chris Avallone games, I especially like the exchanges between your buddies. If it had unlimited respec from the get go, it would have been ze perfect rpg.

Character Planning Spreadsheet:
My friend Ape wrote a nice small tutorial for all those people who want to have FOV and cheats in singleplayer game.Update: You need to do these changes each time you run the game since .cfg is reset. I will fix this today by writing a loader.
Browse to your MW2/players/ directory
Open config.cfg in wordpad and add the following lines:
set developer “1″
set thereisacow “1337″
bind M “cg_fov 90″
Once ingame press M to increase your FOV.
Optionally, if you don’t want to have to remember to press M to set your FOV, locate the line ‘bind W “+forward”‘ and change it to:
bind W “+forward;cg_fov 90″
This will set your fov automatically as soon as you walk in each level.
Changing FOV in config_mp.cfg is untested, but it may work (no idea if this is detected by VAC).
If you would like cheats, also add:
bind O “god”
bind P “ufo”
bind N “notarget”
bind J “jump_height 150″
bind K “give all”
bind L “give ammo”

Also that hacker is apparently helios http://www.artificialaiming.net/forum/index.php , he sells his cheats. Does anyone at IW, valve or whatever have subscriptions to these cheats so you can counter them?
Holy shit dutch site has it for 22,- it's from EA store.
http://www.game-card.net/component/virt ... 5&vmcchk=1
Anyone know what kind of DRM it uses, one time activation, do you need to be online every time you wanna play.
Also what's the deal for bioware and EA, do they get like an even cut weather or not the store is selling it at a discount, how does that work.
Dude I think MW2 is bigger then Oprah!
Also I imagine the PC experience is better in europe, because PC is more popular there and we're all packed mucht tighter together, as well having more broadband connections.
But does anyone know about how region locked this game is, could I use a CDkey from Britain in Holland, I wanna buy it there because it's a shit load cheaper.And if not, would it work if I accessed my account in Britain and input the CDkey there, but later played in Holland.
