I sold the Xbox 360 version. I guess I can always see if the PC version is any better... :P

Like me. Oh well. Though, I'm really shocked that this is free. Now, how about giving a reasonable price for the game.

I would rather catch a Tuna with my teeth than play that pathetic boom fest again. Now I am sad, because I guess MW2 is the week-end deal...

Dont get too excited. Tons of people will be opening new steam accounts just to use hacks on the free MW2 weekend. I bet you wont be able to step into a game without there being a blatant aimbotter. (even more so than there currently is in the retail version)

To the people who are saying the pre-load isn't working:

Check your Steam Folder. Go to C:/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common. There should be a folder that says "call of duty modern warfare 2". Its something happening with Steam with it not updating the pre-load level, but the file should be downloading.

Very cool. I wonder if they're gonna offer a deal on the price as well? I mean I already have it, but this may convince a friend or two :)

yes

Then your going to need to opt out of that beta and go back to the old UI so you can pre-load it.

It would be nice to see a price drop. They're probably going to do it, since they have for every game they've done Free Weekends for.

Free weekend? Why not?

Even though the UI doesn't show any indication of it preloading, I see the application folder and the files are popping up there, so all is good.

I'm pre-loading it now. I played it before on the 360, and I don't think I'll ever buy it, so I'm going to milk it for the weekend

Oh, they won? I didn't know that. Maybe they'll suprise us by giving us MW2 for free.

MW2 fo free!? HA! IW/Activision would NEVER DO THAT. I Bet there won't even be a sale. And if there is at most it would be $10. They are just trying to sqeeze more money out of this crap. And then once the DLC comes to the PC, charge for that also.

lol they will do anything just to squeeze out some sales. As someone said above, yes there are aimbotters and wallhacks for this game. I've seen at least 5+ and we just leave server when one of these knobs enter. I haven't played MW2 since getting BC2, I haven't played BC2 since getting Settlers 7 lol

If anything I think Valve would pay Activision for the freeweekend rather than anything else. Think of the number of people downloading steam just to play the free weekend.

They havent won yet, but based on how the poll looked so far, they most likely win. We`ll know for sure tomorrow though.

Youre currently playing a far superior game. I doubt you will get through more than a couple of hours of MW2 before putting it down and getting back into BC2.
