Well getting VAC2 banned on mw2 can sometimes mean getting banned on other games which run the same Anti-Cheat. My friend was hacking on mw2 and a week later he got vac banned, but he also noticed that he was banned from other games. On-topic: IW4 does not use or check VAC status on steam. So calm your tits people, and just play IW4 instead of the other game, what was it called, MW2 on steam. P.S. JOIN ALTER! VAC bans are by engine If you are banned on CS 1.6, you can't play any HL1 engine games such as original TF, Day of Defeat etc, but you can still play Source engine games Same applies to Source, get banned on CSS you can't play on TF2, L4Ds etc..any Source Engine game.. MW2 isn't Source engine and as far as I know the MW2 engine isn't connected to any engines..pretty sure Black Ops and MW3 are different engines from Mw2..I could be wrong about MW3 but Black Ops by Treyarch so I think its diff engine.. Get banned on MW2 won't affect any other games..MW3 is a chance its same engine but I doubt Black ops is..

4 year old rig here..radeon hd 4830 715mb card, 50-60 fps on mw2 while temp stays around 47-55C, normal fans..no liquid cooling..but my tower is massive so there is a ton of room and it has 4 vent fans, 3 pull 1 push, and 3 inside on the processor/gpu, its old but the 4830 is a great video card for the price, wish i bought another one before they quit selling for crossfire..they were only 59.99$, pays for itself easily.. i can imagine i would struggle with BF3 or Crysis 2 but still be able to run it on low-medium, about to replace a few things anyway tho, prob gonna move to a 1gb-1.5gb card only time mw2 has caused it to be a heater or generally noisy is if it was dirty in the tower, a quick blow out of the dust solves this, highest temp its ever gotten was 72C when dirty

just listen to the interviews with bowling before the game released they asked him questions he couldn't answer or he lied..its really sad "So you just pick the game mode and it drops you into a game that is best optimized for you?" Bowling:"Uhm..well yeah! yeah..and uhm..you know..thats never..thats never been done before..so yeah..uhm yeah.." lol..its sad that people still bought it (including me) even knowing dedis were excluded.. a CSS movie made a good point on these interviews at the end, youtube rape in public 3 and go to part 4, at end he nails that interview and developers in general, unless you wanna watch the whole movie its like 28 mins long, own3d.tv has the whole thing in 1 video but youtube its cut into parts

i understand all that i am just saying..kind of lonely out there..and server thats populated with lowest ping = 145 lol still better then IWNet no probs installing..i didnt even have to reinstall mw2 thru steam..just moved old folder(was legit folder anyway..just aiw'd) to correct directory and pasted the new files in it..dlc maps working too(own aswell but some peeps said havin probs with dlc) the lack of people just brought the thought up: how many people actually owned mw2 from aIW..

was the majority of aIW pirated copies? i see alot of servers but no ones in them..theres like..37 people in all the servers put togather

and i wanted to play mw2..sad sad day

And if they are linked to Steam accounts, I assume steam will have to be running to play or is it just going to check your Steam Id for the legal copy of the game? However..if this is the case couldn't people just find someone on a css server or l4d who owns mw2 and use the console to copy there steam id, thus allowing them to play+not care if banned cuz can just repeat, altho hardly no one plays MW2 on Steam alot of people did buy it and never play it anymore so if the check just needs a Steam ID with a legal copy of MW2 on it could be problems, if you actually have to own the steam account tho, as in verify ownership somehow they couldn't do that Oh and one more thing, Ive already been using "legit" mw2 files, aside from the DLCs..to play aIW(copy pasted from c:/steam/account/common/modernwarefare2, just added DLC files and aIW files) With the new version, will I have to redownload Mw2 from steam and re-patch everything or can I just copy paste the current aIW folder and then patch over it with the new version? I ask because my connection is 780K DSL, so downloading is slow , I have the discs tho but still Steam is going to want to patch it as soon as its installed

So I love Dedicated servers on MW2..and I hope this new approach will be accepted by Activision as legal, but if someone could answer a few questions.. 1. I own MW2 on steam but I do not own the DLCs, how will this affect me? 2. What are the odds of this project meeting the "legal" requirement, indefinitely? 3. Will the anticheat have to be reworked? 4. How will this legal mod work with steam? I understand it will check for legitimate copies via steam accounts, but will the new xuid's or FDO(fourDeltaOne) accounts be linked to your steam account in some way? 5.Will bans be carried over from the old anticheat or will there be a fiesta of cheaters for the first few weeks? 6.Considering the letter from Activision..it seems they realize NTA's skill and achievements in further developing PC MW2 but acted on the pirated versions being able to play and the pursuit of aBO and aMW3, are we safe this time around? Staying only with MW2 and forcing legitimate copies of the game etc? Will Activision accept this? I am a bit concerned for NTA as I was under the impression the letter stated they wanted him not to embark on something like this again, even if the new project meets legal standard will it be allowed considering his past project and what the letter stated? 7. Are the new maps going to be in the new project (Oil Rig etc) or wouldn't that fall under the "Unfair Competition" considering MW2 sold maps as DLCs

I've owned it for a long time, I do not own the DLCs tho, and I won't buy them..crusty ass maps anyway.. Hope it supports XP..would be silly not to considering the actual game supported XP as did aIW.. BTW Microsoft ended support for SP1 and SP2, SP3 is continued til 2014, why spend 150$ for windows 7 when only..2 games force you to use it..? Even newer titles, Mw3, Dota2, Diablo 3, CS:GO all support windows xp and directx9..ofcourse you wouldn't know that..but you like to talk about it like you do
