That would honestly suck for someone that is not aware and shows up at their local GameStop/EB Games an hour or more away from home because they live out in the middle of nowheresville at 11pm Monday night only to find a locked door with no information as to what the hell is going on. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

Activision, how bout going after mom-and-pop shops that break street date? Or how about doing away with the street date thing all together.

Is it too much to ask that I'm not 40 levels behind the competition when I get online at 12:01 am on Tuesday morning? #callofdutymodernwarfare2

@AncientUnknown1: Maybe save functioning multiplayer to a tiny patch after 12:01 am. Normally I'd give a shiz, but I kind of agree in this case, looks like I'll be getting owned with perks for an evening. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

10 bucks says Kristen, her manager (if she isn't the manager), the district manager and the regional manager will get a major ass-chewing for this one. Kristen and the manager (again, if she isn't the manager) will be terminated for sure. I got the "Do not under any circumstances even touch the CoDs in the back" speech when I went in this morning. Seems like someone forgot to give it... #callofdutymodernwarfare2

Nope. I'll admit that I skimmed it. After the verbal assault I got against even opening the cardboard boxes today I was sure it would be a street date leak. Mah bad.

Operation "Sweet-talk the cute salesgirl into breaking street-date" failed. Operation "Get her number" isn't progressing as well as I'd like, either. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

Rumour has it that Western Australian stores have broken street date as well, so other Aussie retailers might (as in: don't hold me to this but worth asking the guys at the store) start selling tomorrow. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

Christ. Someone needs to shut these guys up, i'm so sick of listening to them now. If you look at my post history you will probably see i was quite a big supporter of IW but i couldn't care less about them anymore. Sure MW2 will be fun and will sell silly amoutns but the amount of negative shit that they have shoehorned into this game coupled with their piss poor attitude makes me want to the game to fail. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

@Pyrefly:

It will eventually. Personally, I give them about two more years before the well runs dry. Look at Guitar Hero. Obviously different developers but the principle is still the same.

In addition they've got a stalking horse on their tales in Bad Company. EA could teach great white sharks a thing or two about being an apex predator. They (EA) found religion a couple years ago and I strongly believe they're going to give DICE the resources they need to produce an amazing property in Battlefield Bad Company. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

So, as PC gamers, how about we all just go buy Bad Company 2 and enjoy EA....actually willing to support dedicated servers, mods, and player control. Hell, even Battlefield Heroes got a notice saying they'll support dedicated servers for as long as the game is running and offer rentable servers.

My god, EA is becoming the patron saint of PC gaming........ #callofdutymodernwarfare2

Is it just me or does Infinity Ward come off as a bunch of control freaks?

"We would like you to play the game the way we designed and balanced it."

This is pretty much their answer to all the problems the community has.

Now I'm just paraphrasing the next part, so forgive me for anything I get wrong.

"Question: Why is the player cap smaller?

IW: The maps are balanced for 9 vs. 9.

Q: But my clan is much larger and doesn't mind to break the balance if it means all of us can play together.

IW: We just want you to have a better experience. We also want you to buy the new larger map packs since we cut you off from custom content. Next.

Q: Will it be possible to use console commands to change the viewing angle this time around?

IW: No, it breaks the balance. If you do try to change it we'll ban you.

Q: Will we be able to ban or kick hackers and cheaters from our games?

IW: No, that's OUR goal, not yours.

Q: This is Related to the 360 version.

IW: Finally... go on.

Q: Why is there no party chat in hardcore mode? It's one of the reasons I pay for XBL.

IW: To stop you from talking to your buddies while you're dead, you little cheater.

Q: So, how are you going to stop me from using Ventrilo?

IW: I thought you were talking about the 360 version.

Q: Okay... how about a cell phone?

IW: We're working on a solution to that problem. We want you to play the way WE designed it. Next.

Q: Dedicated servers?

IW: Better experience.

Q: Leaning?

IW: Ruins the balance.

Q: Of your character?

IW: No, the balance of the entire game.

@Shinta: Q: Okay ... so, avatar clothes, fine. Tell us about your new integration into the XBox Live Marketplace and what options gamers have in store for them?

IW: I'm glad you asked that, actually we've prepared a video to help illustrate just how amazing the new MW2 experience, and the edition of avatar clothes, is going to be for conso- .... gamers! F.A.T.P.H.U.C. Fashion Awareness To Promote Healthy Urban Communities.
