The girl just came home from work with a copy of Modern Warfare 2 for the PC for me... anyone played it yet? As a PC user am I set for disappointment?
I've got a ton of shit to do so I'm afraid to install it.
Yes, do not install that piece of shit if you got it for PC. They literally went out of their way to fuck it up (Activision). Like, it probably took them more work taking all the shit out of the PC version, than it would if they just left it in.
You know that third person mode, yeah, that started as a mod for PC.
No dedicated servers. There was something else too, but I can't remember at the, oh yeah, it's fucking locked at 30 or 60fps or w/e the console versions are locked at.
Infinity Ward literally ported the Xbox360 version to PC.
So yeah, definitely don't buy this for PC. MW2 isn't a shitty game. Just a shitty game for PC players.
However, if you're just playing it for the single player, then go for it I suppose...
But, if you're looking for a (single player) FPS, try Borderlands, Fear 2: Project Origin, HL2, Left for Dead 2, BioShock, etc, etc.
For multiplayer, I'd check out The Orange Box, Quake Live, Left 4 Dead 2, Killing Floor, BF:BC2, and a few others.
