1) Out of all my friends who own MW2, none of them have had anything but good things to say about the multiplayer.
2) Steam is amazing. I've been using it for over three years, and frankly, I have no interest in buying games that do NOT run through steam. I don't have any more cases and CDs piling up, I can lose manuals, etc...and no matter what, I always have my games available. After every install of Windows, it's a piece of cake to get my games reinstalled. In all my time playing games on steam, I have encountered cheaters less than 5 times...at which point it was easy to report the cheater and simply move on to another server.
Well, I am just glad you were able to get it going. You'd be surprise the amount of heartaches and headaches a corrupt, obsolete or wrong driver can cause... it can wreck some serious havoc.
Now, This is some funny stuff, I mean, I have seen a few MP hacks but this one definately takes the cake...
You would think so, at least until you look at their web site, quote from this link:
And in case you still wonder, here's another quote from this link:Anti-cheat
With true cheat detection, keep cheaters from ruining it for the rest of us. Extend the life and sales of your game by making sure that the game plays as you intended it to when you shipped.
It seems to me that it is exactly what Steam advertises to do, "making sure that the game plays as intended to when it's shipped". You may think that they've been doing an excellent job preventing cheats, mods, and privacy; I just happen to disagree with that they do...Steamworks' anti-piracy suite combines three approaches to anti-piracy: (1) Custom Executable Generation, (2) Retail Encryption, and (3) Valuable Platform-Dependant Features. These work together to provide a seamless end-user experience, protecting your game and giving real value to customers.
That my friend is an opinion
He could have picked up someones care package.. I would like a recording of that...
Trust me, I play this game... Host Migration works well, not perfect but well. I have yet to be dropped from a game during this time.
Do you have sources on those numbers? Have you even played MW2 when I host migrates
you obviously aint played the game..............I can tell you now its fantastic and IW Net is nothing like it was feared to be
and as for bad company 2 , they are just using this as a marketing opportunity to lead us to beleive they are supporting PC players , they love us so much we must have just slipped their minds when they brought out the original bad company......i hope to god its better than the bug fest that was BF2 when it first came out , and continues to be till this day
dont be fooled by clever marketing their all just out to take our cash , they could'nt care less abour PC players anymore , too many pirate's out there. and i can bet you now BC2 will be another console port.........with dedicated server files to make us think they "care"
Cod4 and modern warfare 2 both work with windows 7 fine :)
You must not have been playing a couple days ago when steam went down for hours and the IW forums were being overloaded with pissed off PC users.
I agree that the game itself is really good. Probably the best COD release to date in terms of gameplay, perks, and lack of bugs. IWnet is a major failure. I loved the comments that IW's management including fourzerotwo who says that hackers will be non-existant with the use of VAC. Fail. I think I was on for 2 minutes when I experienced my first hacker encounter. VAC is more hackable then punkbuster. At least with punkbuster there was functionality with it. VAC is useless. I too have experienced the party problems and have had many host drop offs and pauses to resolve a new one. Looks like they concentrated on the game but failed in getting the integration of IWnet/Steam working. Bring on the dedi servers, please.
As far as what this forum is really for: Windows 7 runs this flawlessly. I have had no problems at all. If you have WaW you will experience about a 10 FPS increase with MW2. It runs about the same as COD 4. You can't ALT-Tab while in a match but you can while waiting for a match. There's also various AV softwares that call false-positives on various steam .tmp files. I run Avira and it calls them regularly. Hopefully they will come out with a fix for that.
Just because someone pwned you...it doesn't make them a hacker!
