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
@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
@(Human) Gyaruson: My store manager called in today and told us that even if an Activision rep showed up with a cease and desist type notice we were to continue to sell through. I don't know what the details are, but this definitely came from corporate. #callofdutymodernwarfare2
@Mentuss: @Doomstink: @Desfunk:
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
@InsidiousTuna: Your focus on beating the street date rather than getting her number shows your priorities are in the right place. #callofdutymodernwarfare2
That's really kind of Activision helping out the struggling corporations from the ever tightening grip of greedy mom and pop stores. I knew there was good in this world! #callofdutymodernwarfare2
@-MasterDex-: I'm no fan of Gamestop corporate, but the locals who work at those Gamestop outlets would suffer if their stores couldn't compete on even ground. Fair is fair, even with the Jabba the Hutt of game retailers involved.
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
i was wondering why people kept calling my store today asking if we were selling it.. i just figured some pirates had started sailing the xbox live seas already. #callofdutymodernwarfare2
Great. Can't wait for the bombardment of invites from people I don't know to start. I got one guy on my list who has it but he's from Canada. #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
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.
Personally I willing accept our new PC Gaming Messiah. Also since EA owns the C&C IP, they're messiah poster boy can be Kane :D #callofdutymodernwarfare2
@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.

"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.

IW: The recession hit us hard too you know.
Q: What? But what about the economic concerns of gamers?
IW: Vocal minority. Didn't you say this was getting to a 360 question? We have these neat avatar clothes.
