This is obviously not legal, by downloading and installing the crack you are inevitably breaking InfinityWards/ Steams terms and conditions so, do it at your own risk.

Seems to be quite a multiplayer fai now, with cheaters not having to worry about being caught, as they can just start a new steam account and load the crack. And admins/ players not being able to kick players.

PC Gamers,
As we are very much aware Infinity Ward have yet to respond to the concerns and feedback of the PC Community about Modern Warfare 2. PC Gamers have come under a large amount of criticism for acting out with a petition in advance of the games release without knowing what it would be like.
Well now the game has been released and we do know what it is like. This is a call for anyone within the PC Community to show their support for a new petition entitled ‘Modern Warfare 2 (PC) – Post Release’. The idea behind the new petition is to show Infinity Ward (with a completely clean slate) that we do really still care about the issues and are providing them with the feedback that they need to do good by us.
The petition covers the need for:

• Support for an in-game console;
• Support for the “/record” feature;
• Support for the lean feature;
• Support for auto-balancing;
• Support for multiple profiles;
• Support for better Graphics and FOV control;
• Support for actual ping readouts in ms (not graphs);
• Support for a tournament game type (like Promod);

Dedicated Server/IWNet specific:

• Support for mod tools and modded Dedicated Servers;
• Support for Punkbuster enabled Dedicated Servers;
• Support for Dedicated Server admins to choose player numbers (Max: 50);
• Support for PC gamers to choose if they wish to connect to an IWNet P2P server or a Dedicated Server (hosted by clans/individuals, etc)

Many PC Gamers are starting to give up on Infinity Ward ever making good of their damaging changes to the community. My response to that, and hopefully yours, is “let’s give it one last shot”. Let’s unite as one PC Community!
The IW forums post for this is at http://www.infinityward.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=174552
The petition is at: http://www.petitiononline.com/mw2pcpr/petition.html

Lets see weather we get a response from this one. So far 1600 Total Signatures.

Watch it all. The wii release sounds fun! Wonder what the word on Dedicated servers is.

“An original game like this is a rarity. You have to give Futuremark Games Studio props for their ambition. It sucks that [being PC exclusive] is considered a pro nowadays… but it gives you a better interface, full support for dedicated servers, free downloadable content updates in the future, and a very strong possibility of a map-maker or other mod tools being released. If you’re a longtime fan of Counter-Strike, Team Fortress, or others and have the power under the hood to run it, you’ll find a lot to like in Shattered Horizon.” - Firing Squad 85%

About the Game

Shattered Horizon is the highly anticipated first game from Futuremark Games Studio that immerses you in the cold reality of combat in space like no other game before.

This multiplayer first-person shooter is played entirely in zero gravity. A catastrophic explosion on the Moon has filled near-Earth space with billions of tons of rocky debris. You and your friends will join intense 32 player battles to control hollowed-out asteroids, huge fragments of Moon rock and the ruined remains of the International Space Station.

With simple and intuitive controls, you have complete freedom of movement in the distinctive zero gravity environments. Not only can you use your rocket pack to fly anywhere but you can also land on any surface to attack your enemies from unexpected angles.

Shattered Horizon challenges you to take your FPS skills to the next level adapting what you have learned on the battlefield to create new tactics in a fully three dimensional battle space. With your rifle at the ready you can handle anything the enemy can throw at you. But if you let go of your gun, chances are you’re already dead.

System Requirements

This game is worth the money and will give you many hours of fun gameplay. With 2 playthroughs getting harder each time, the max level is 50.

A collection of a bunch of reviews:

- “Concept Art” graphical style

- The game takes place on the planet “Pandora”, where there is rumoured to be a vault filled with alien tech. It has 120 hour days, and long seasons. It has just come out of winter. Hibernating creatures are awakening.

- Over 15 million guns, based on different sources. Proceduraly (spelling) generated. Can have Acid, Fire, Electric, or Explosive powers.

- Multiple gun companies, all generate guns differently. E.g. “Jakobs” uses wood, which is rare.

- Apx. 150 enemies created out of 9 base species. Enemies have different variations. The tough ones are called “Badasses”.

- Vehicles, 2 announced. Players can switch possitions as driver/gunner while driving.There is a Buggy that is customizable and a salt flat racer which we have not seen.

- Four charecters, Mordecai, Roland, Lilith, and Brick. All have come to Pandora for different reasons and all have a different background and story but band together for an overall cause.

- All charecters have 3 skill trees they can develop.

- Mordecai has a pet bloodwing, a kind of falcon. He is your scout class hero. He also has a sword, and specialises in sniping. He’s Scottish (or so his voice sounds).

- Lilith is a Siren, one of six.She is your mage class hero. She has been in touch with alien tech, and can “Phase Walk”. She goes invisible and can reapear in a kind of nova causing those around her to die.

- Roland is a jack of all trades, he has a deployable turret that also has a shield. It can also be upgraded to heal people. He is your soldier class hero. Prefers shotguns and assault rifles.His turrent can be specced to heal.

- Brick is the Berserker class hero, kind of like the tank. He also can go into a berserker rage where he wll punch the enemies for tons of damage.

- PVP, Quick 1v1, or in Arenas

- Main missions and side missions: Apx 25-30 main missions and 140-150 side missions. Main missions expected to take around 10-25 hours. Maybe around 100 hours to do everything.

- Persisant Characters. You keep the same loot/experience you have through every game you join.

Rob Bowling, bravely stupidly said:

Cheat / Hack Free Games: The biggest benefit of using IWnet by far is the fact that you don’t have to worry about joining a server full of aim-bots, wallhacks, or cheaters. Or relying on the server admin of the server to constantly be monitoring, banning, and policing it. Modern Warfare 2 on PC allows us to control the quality of the game much more than ever before as well as utilizing the VAC (Valve-Anti-Cheat) system to keep games clean of hackers and cheaters.

Well, he’s wrong, what a surprise! Footage of the first Modern Warfare 2 hack!

We Love you Infinity Ward. NOT!

A witch with powers beyond the comprehension of mere mortals, Bayonetta faces-off against countless angelic enemies, many reaching epic proportions, in a game of 100% pure, unadulterated all-out action.

Publisher: Sega

Developer: PlatinumGames

Release Date: Jan 5, 2010

Platforms: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360

So, to all gamers, be you PC gamers, PS3 gamers or Xbox gamers, get down to the Infinity Ward forums and tell them what you think!

So, PC’s have obviously been hit the most in this horrible rally of events, starting with the delay and dedicated servers now finishing in no left of right lean in multi-player. Does IW give a damn what we think? remember that quote “PC will be the same as it always was.” Is this the same? No.

But has this affected console gamers as well, besides the fanboy’s with their sore throats? Casual gamers I guess not, but for you real gamers you must realise that Infinity Ward has hit the gaming world as a whole and left a dent the size of the moon. That has to mean something to you.

So, don’t support Infinity Ward. Go to Google spend a few seconds searching and you can be playing the Modern Warfare 2 Single Player, is it really worth the $59.99? For the worlds worst PC multi-player. Save the money and buy Left4Dead2 or Broadlands where the developers give a damn about us.

Rage over. Spam Infinity Ward.

Update: Just a little thing I found on FpsAdmin

http://pc.ign.com/articles/104/1043744p1.html

So a friend of mine downloaded the game last night and I made him a visit to make a real impression about how the game ACTUALLY is, because we all know that games can turn out to be a lot different from how they look in the trailers. Got a double-layer blank DVD, he converted something like from Wave 4 into Wave 3, I have no freakin’ idea what that is, I’m kind of clueless about console pirating and stuff like this, but in about half an hour the game was on the disk. The console he has is Xbox360 Elite, bought in 2007 when it was firstly released, chipped so it can handle pirated games.

The graphics of the game  look good, and the visual effects are really awesome, especially the explosions, the weapon animations etc; they did awesome job with the motion capture for your squad mates and civilians, which move a lot smother and realistic then in COD4. The weapon list is very impressive, I haven’t played much, but I can’t tell how many weapons I used. A lot of new ones, but from what I saw, some old weapons from COD4 are still present, like M1014 semi-auto shotgun for example, M14, some new skins etc.

For the ones that want to play it, I’m not going to spoil it, so I’m not gonna talk much about the missions I played, but all I can say it’s that the first mission is not the one with the bank robbery in Rio de Janeiro. The first one is a training “mission”, as it was in COD4, after that you are in a mission about being picked into the team, followed by the mission in the mountain base in Kazakhstan, to which we are all familiar about. That’s how far I manage to play. But here comes the bad part: This guy calls me about 1h ago and tells me that he finished MW2. I was like “WOW, already?”, and he was like “Yea, 6 hours of gameplay”. SIX HOURS. That isn’t something I expected at all…especially that I know he’s not a very good player, so the game may even be done in 5h, maybe even less by a experience player.

In the end, from what I saw myself wile playing, the gameplay, graphics, storyline and all that are very well made, and it would have been perfect if IW added dedis to the PC version of the game, so I’m not going to buy it (for singleplayer we have torrents ffs). The only downside seems to be the actual playing time, which seems to be quite short.

With that being said, we can only hope for the best for the PC version, but I’m baffled about how short the game seems to be.
