Internet nerd rage. As effective as ever I see. And Luke, I thought only Owen and Tim worked the weekend? Having a longer work week?

Honestly i think the whole boycott is incredibly stupid, its a good game.

so what, there are no dedicated servers or mods? If you want mods there are tons of other games. These two things are technicalities and dont make or break graphics/story/game mechanics.

Not having dedicated servers isn't a huge deal either, if you want to play with buddies, use your friends list.

There is a reason why this game is the top selling launch entertainment product in history, people who dont buy it just because of servers and mods are missing out.

Have fun crying and wasting your time complaining about the game while the rest of us are having a good time.

In reply to Gameloft Cuts Android Efforts, Says It's Not Alone
Gameloft sucks. I tried Asphalt Urban and it was absolutely horrible. I've watched the series evolve over time and I'm still not impressed. Good riddance I says.

As far as the Android Platform is concerned. Android is the future. Period. It's what WinMo should have been. All we need for Android is better hardware and we're getting that with HTC Hero, the Droid and if Sony can get a clue and stop previewing handsets months before they're ready for primetime....the Xperia X10. Cut support if you want developers, I wouldn't be surprised if you're back in 6 months to the year.

can we transfer these VC games to DS for on the go gaming yet? No? Then it's no deal. I'll stick with Blood Omen, Soul Reaver and Final Fantasy VII on PSN/PsP/PS3

think of it this way.

they sure as hell don't want the 360
to become the new age "dreamcast".
anybody here with a clear understanding knows that piracy was the nail in the coffin for the DC. don't believe me? just ask around the net. a large percentage of DC owners have like 5 legit games, and a shitload of burned ones...

MS is protecting their product. nothing wrong with that. this is a business at the end of the day.

@zåɳzißårléɠёпȡ: No point protecting your product if you alienate your consumers, who's gonna buy a 360 game when they've been banned off Xbox live, the main reason people get a 360 is for Xbox live, when it comes to good single player games the 360 = Epic fail (Can you think of any?), may as well get Mario Galaxy or Uncharted 2 on the Wii and PS3 where not only is there a very low chance of you getting banned (Hard to pirate the games), but there are no online fees for either console.
If you cant play Halo, COD or Gears online on your 360, then what the hell can you do with it?
I'm assuming you lose your netflix stream, your access to the marketplace and all the facebook/twitter stuff.
Its a complete dick head move by Microsoft and I'm glad I don't own a 360.

@LordChris915: i don't own one myself. (for other reasons i have stated just check my history)

bu cmon dude, this is a business. Piracy could fuck it up big time for those who legally support the console.
Piracy is no fucking joke. only reason Movies and Music still around because people still go to concerts, and people still go to movies, and then eventually by the HD release.

games dont have the multiple avenues of revenue that the oher 2 mediums have. let's be fair.

@sudo rm reality.exe: Dude, IW are one company.
There's companies who rely on PC sales and will actually pay attention when that platform speaks.
Rage is still up in the air n AvP was confirmed to be Dedi's the other day.
Dice have said dedi's too. Valve run dedi's to.
And out of FPS realm you have DA:O taking advantage of PC too with some tweaks to the UI n play style, as well as a editor released.

I think Mw2 will become an exception not the rule.

@deanbmmv: Exception? I don't know where you've been but this has been a problem for a long-ass time. From all I can tell, the PC version is, for all intents and purposes, a straight-t0-shelves Xbox 360 port dumped out without a care in the world of making it work well as a game on it's platform. Not just the dedicated server deal, but the lack of mods, lack of tweaking, the list goes on and on. And this sort of thing? Happens ALL THE TIME. Now we have a multi-million selling super-money-debauchery of a game doing it.

The damage has been done before, and this game will have been the definitive sledgehammer.

If Activision sells a working code to any retailer, they loose the right to approve the person who buys it at that retailer. It is not that complicated of a legal situation.

But Activision also knows that nobody will take a $40 purchase to the court. Which is why they get away with it playing dirty. Somebody should really sue them for some killer punitive damage for stepping on customer rights like that.

Mario Kart. Classic.

There are alot of games that are said to be great, but unfortunately, they don't always hold up by todays standards.

Mario Kart on the other hand, is a true game that deserves the title of being 'great'.

Anyone that has a Wii, and not the original version of the game on the SNES owes it to themselves to buy this.

What a game.

IW needs to fix their party system. It's fucked up somethin fierce. In a 5 hour game night, we'll spend 3 just trying to find a fucking game that has us all in it. Too many times lobby gets closed or we DC or the game just splits us up like a retard. This is seriously getting on my nerves. -____-

First wanted to lol, but hadn't the game been out for about a week only?

Wait longer, IW, before claiming victory. Maybe 10% of all-time CoD4 PC gamers bought it first week.

I'm not a frog and you're not a bunny, so let's not jump ahead. Let's wait for a couple of months to really start comparing numbers

I... I don't think the PSP I bought in Hong Kong supports the Extras menu on the XMB...

Someone tell me I'm just doing something wrong otherwise I'm going to be rather sad.

@Psudonym: As far as I know it applies to all models of PSP. I've successfully installed it on a PSP Go and 2000.

Here's what you do:

• Download and install the 6.20 Firmware update. This can be done through the PSP itself or you can download the file off Sony's official website and transfer it to your PSP via USB cable.

• After the firmware is installed go to the Extras menu and select digital comics viewer.

• You will be taken to a website and prompted to download the comic reader software (it's about 2MB). Download the software and you're good to go.

It's pretty straightforward...so if nothing's working maybe contact Sony or the store where you bought your PSP.

@Rakotto: No custom firmware ya'll. I've been updating legit for years now, up to 6.20 this morning, and I buy stuff from the US store regularly. But now I can't seem to see this "Extras" menu that everyone's talking about. It's just not there.

They sold more but won't show numbers? What, did MW2 sell 25 million units in its first week or something? I mean, if the PC version has sold more than the COD4s PC version but is still only 3% of the total....

Or they're saying the first week of MW2 was better than COD4 on PC which is a way of reading it. Either way it's either complete bullshit or complete bullshit and damage control.

@steev-sama: Not really, it seems intentionally ambiguous. Either it's the first week of MW2 on PC did better than the first week of COD4 on PC or MW2PC has completely eclipsed all of COD4PCs sales in its first week.

So, like I said, either way it's utter bullshit.
