Hey I've got a problem with my Steam-Version of CODMW2: I start the game, click on "search game" (my game is actually on german, it says "Spiel suchen") and in the lists there are 0/0 players online. When I try to search a game, I simply stay in my lobby and nothing happens, but I doubt that there are no users online, aren't there?

You can wai about 5 minutes before searching, and you'll find a match. Back in the day me and me friends played private matches before every session, instead of waiting mindlessly

DAM I DINt have it on steam D: i have disk

hi,

 

Activision itself said that the aIW client with the server-browser was okay for them so why don't we just make exactly the same thing just without AlterOps and AlterMW3?

 

I Won't buy MW2 a second time (i sell'd my steam ACC with MW2 and Black Ops because i could play a better version of it on aIW) so it seems that i must say goodbye to CoD if you make it like you said :cry:

The reason we all played AIW in the first place was because it DIDN'T use $team, just saying

All copies of MW2 have to be activated on Steam.

No, I think the reason you played aIW is because it had dedicated servers, which was the whole point of the project.

I fuckin rock

 

User warned - Try to keep your comments on-topic.

I think this is fine. But make dedicated servers for Modern Warfare 3 (for Steam of course) will be rock. Becouse, now all the people is playing MW3. Just Saying

Anyway, thanks NTA for make a better PC Community, because companies like EA or AV doesn't care that.

Mw3 already have dedicated servers, you just have to enable server browser in settings.... :!:

i got banned for cheating on steam (yeah, i know, lame) and cant figure out if i will be able to play on the new project you guys are developing. but still i will never ever pay money for a CoD game so tough luck for me, i guess if this will not be available for banned users like myself.

NO, I played because it had offline LAN on NO $team. Just remember that $team destroyed the PC version of COD in the first place.

That makes zero sense... Unless you had a compiled iwnetserver.exe, you still needed an internet connection in order to play aIW. Also, Valve had nothing to do with how Call of Duty functioned on PC...

Really? do you know how much of a pain in the ass it was to install the game over $team? it downloaded pointless updates and the game only had matchmaking(which was bullshit) and one of the best features, LAN was removed from COD. In other words Activision got greedy when they started using Valve'$ $team and looked at it as an opportunity to fuck over the PC community who made IW famous, remember how the PC version would always get better stuff than the consoles? yeah, well know it's reversed thanx to that piece of crap $team. I haven't seen a collector's edition of COD for the PC in years.

"do you know how much of a pain in the ass it was to install the game over $team? it downloaded pointless updates" - That must have been a different game then... I havn't had any problems with Steam / MW2 and updates downloading.

 

and the game only had matchmaking ... the PC in years.

I'm pretty sure that would've happened regardless of Steam... Yes, MW2 support wasn't fantastic, but it's not because of Steam.

You obviously didn't install the game the day it came out, it was disappointing. All we wanted to do was play COD just like the old times but it would take more than a day to download the updates regardless of internet speed because the $team servers were "too busy" and there was no longer any proper LAN capabilities.

You think I havn't tried that? I couldn't find anything that even mentioned it, so that's why I'm asking you where you got the info from.

Also, what's a Steam dog?

it's a person that licks Valve's ass for their piece of shit code known as $team, which is apparently awesome but can be proven wrong by REAL PC gamers.

"Can be proven wrong"

"WRONG, Infinity Ward had plans for MW2 but then Activision was manipulated by Valve"

 

This is just you saying words. Can be proven? Show me the proof. Activision was manipulated by Valve? Give me a source. Most people that say Steam is shit do so because it's harder for them to play games on cracked servers or whatnot, so - if you have an actual legitimate, valid and provable reason: By all means, show me.

I've had the same problems with MW3, before $team I used to buy games because I could just install it and play but know that's different. Lucasarts on the other hand loves their PC community, we can buy games and just play them without the need of downloading half the game. If Lucasarts were the publisher of COD then things would be a lot different (eg. AIW wouldn't exist and you and I wouldn't be having this arguement)

Just because IW lied and acted like they gave a shit did not mean that they actually had plans for MW2 ...

 

They also hinted pre-release that it was going to support dedicated servers to get pre-orders up then said fuck you pc community ...

 

I do not believe that Valve/Steam had anything to do with the downfall of this game other than its piece of crap VAC and most of the fault in that not working correctly falls in the developers hands not Valves.

 

I hate steam but I use it to play over 75 different games as it does make it more convenient and is a requirement for most and only mw2/mw3 have I seen the massive VAC issues that we have had.
