Sweet! I'm so giving this game a bash this weekend. :D
 
full 11GB but I started downloading it. maybe going to get this cause the special makes it better deal. First going to try it this weekend. Already started downloading this morning
 
Im downloading aswell. Does the free weekend start at midnight? Saturday 12AM? Timezone? Also, I remember reading that the latency is unplayable with overseas players, so you gotta join games with local players. Does steam automatically match you with local players, or do you need to do some kinda friends list thing?
 
Looks like I'm not going to make it for the free weekend. My graphics card decided to die last night. :(

Sorry to hear the Isengard - I lost my 260 at the end of last year :( I buried it down at the old oak tree

I was just kidding. sorry to hear. Maybe speak to manufacturer and they might even replace it. MSI wanted me to get my card to pinnacle for some testing to see if it was working fine cause my card was overheating and then replace it. My card was not under warranty anymore.

I wish they made a version of the game that only have the multiplayer side. That would make the size of the game a bit smaller.
 
Yeah it's a bummer and it happens just after I finished downloading Episodes from Liberty City off Steam. :( I'm looking at replacing it with a 5770 maybe. Pity about the huge download for MW2 though, I probably wouldn't have had it downloaded in time anyway.
 
The card just reached end of life it seems. It's not the first time it failed, I managed to recover it using the oven trick but I'm not going to bother trying to do that again. I'm replacing this heap of junk. :mad:
 
It's a Chaintech Geforce 8800GT. They seems to be famous for failing this way if my Google searches are any indication. I'm nearly done downloading MW2, think I might borrow my brothers card for the weekend to play it.

ah no wonder... well good luck :)
 
Been playing the game for a couple of hours now. The way the game handles finding a server to play on is absolutely terrible and just proves that removing dedicated servers was a stupid move. Also are all MW2 players such whiners? Seriously it's a game, chill. On the plus side the game is a lot of fun. Maybe I can resolve a host this time, so I'm off. :/
