I played the heck out of the beta thanks to silentsim & also the demo for the past month...awesome game, I haven't even thought about playing MW since December.

I won't be getting my copy until the 4th but if anybody with a headset wants to add me on ps3, let me know!

I haven't been this excited about a game release ever...fun times.

I'm too lazy to check.

Does the online PC version have dedicated servers?

I have the mouse twitch down pretty good so I'm leaning toward computer. But all my friends have 360's so

Not sure if I should get this game, it is either I buy this game, or a new coat + pants.

New pants + jacket or this game?

Yes, yes, yes! Absotively posolutely.

The one catch, a server client won't be available until late tonight/tomorrow. There's a server patch that needs to be applied. (Console commands still work though)

you can download from steam right now. I had to exit out of steam and go back in for it to "refresh" and show available.

I bet its going to be a pain to get it downloaded and installed today. I wish the preload worked to avoid this.

Actually mine started up and is chugging along at 1.1MB/s! So not so bad once it gets going.

EDIT: 1.7MB/s now! Whee!

Sweet. Love the fact that they have dedicated servers.

MW2 sucks because of that.

Anyone else having problems joining games on the Xbox 360? It just sits their searching for games and not finding anything.

Update: Looks like a lot of people ar ehaving this problem. Just EA servers sucking like normal on release day.
