Fourzerotwo tweets PC version not delayed
No delay on PC says Robert Bowling on Twitter. Earlier news was floated that the PC version of Modern Warfare 2 may not be released on November 10. Why not? Infinity Ward always kept quiet about the PC version of this game. It always focused on the console versions. Now as the launching date is getting closer here is what Infinity Ward tweets:
“No delay on PC for Modern Warfare 2. You’ll also have Prestige Mode in PC as well as lots of Steam support. Hopefully min specs will be soon”
So…? No more waiting of two weeks, as it was rumored, for the PC version of MW2.
Good News: PC gamers will also be getting the Prestige mode, as it is for the console versions.
Robert Bowling also said, “You’re completely reliant on IWNet and there is no dedicated server or server list. You rely on IWNet for matchmaking and your games, but you still have your private matches.”

Game reviewer of The Sun newspaper shares his playing experience
In LA just over 100 media persons around the world were invited couple of days before by Infinity Ward and Activision to get a sneak peek of Modern Warfare 2.
Here is the thought of Lee Zaleski of The Sun newspaper that was published on their website yesterday.
LZ writes after playing the three maps of the game i.e. Favela, High-rise and Afghan that the game is better than what everybody expected.
He said that the Favela is a shanty town in Brazil having lush green bushes and clear blue sky. The Favela map has alleyways and rooftops that are perfect for close combat ambushes.
About High-rise LZ writes that it is set at dusk. It takes place on top of a skyscraper and it also has a heli pad in the middle. He says that High-rise is extremely fast paced because the teams fight each other from left to right.
According to him the Afghan map is topically set in the Afghanistan desert. It has smoking plane wreck and also some caves in the hills to run amok in. Afghan is a large map and it is perfect for any weapon.
LZ shares that they played two game modes namely Capture the Flag and Demolitions.
About the Demolitions he informs that it is to some extent like Search and Destroy from previous titles. It has two bomb sites and not one.

Dual-wield weapons officially confirmed
There is a good news. Officially it has been confirmed by Infinity Ward that Modern Warfare 2 will be having dual-wield weapons. Great. Isn’t it?
It was twittered recently by the community manager of Infinity Ward, Robert Bowling that akimbo pistols would feature in Modern Warfare 2. While giving a presentation on the game Bowling announced this great news.
He said, “Just walked off stage. Crowd was amazing, went insane chanting ‘pick it up!’ when I stumbled over dual-wield Deagles. lol - Akimbo confirmed.”
Through the official forum Bowling said, “Now to calm some initial fears of ‘OMG! Overpowered!’. Akimbo is limited and balanced, just like everything in the game. It’s limited to side-arms, harder to aim than standard and you can’t go ADS (aim down sights) since you have a weapon in each hand.”
Bowling even mentioned giving a direction to all the fans of the game that don’t freak out before seeing it in action.
Well, no where on the forum did he mentioned when the fans will get a chance to see it in action.

Infinity Ward compromises on lower resolution
It is repeated once again as it was the case of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Modern Warfare 2 will not be rendered on 720p or 1080p. Hope there may be valid reason from the developer Infinity Ward to choose lower resolution. Let us assume good reasons.
It has been announced that Modern Warfare 2 will be supporting 600p resolution which is equivalent to 1024 x 600 pixels. We can also say that Infinity Ward has made the compromise of lower resolution. Well, lower resolution favors a higher frame rate and more detail.
In fact Modern Warfare 2 actually runs in the relatively low resolution of 1024 x 600. Anyway, console will in fact upscale this to whatever display resolution gamers choose. PC users will be able to render the game at decent resolutions.
Well, put your comments whether this compromise of Invinity Ward is actually based on technology benefit.

Electronic Arts (EA) been throwing punches at Modern Warfare 2 for sometime claiming that the new Battlefield: Bad Company from the DICE studio would have dedicated servers for the PC gamers. It will be valuing the importance of PC gameplay and also customization of it.
Jens Uwe, headmaster of the European division of EA, said in an interview on Friday, “In March we will launch Battlefield: Bad Company 2, which is our first strong attack on Call Of Duty… The shooter space is one we don’t want to give up. It’s an important genre and we were the number one. So we are certainly working on how we can get that crown back and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is an important product in that context.”
One who has played first Bad Company as well as the Modern Warfare titles may be knowing well that the games are very different in style and also in gunplay. We may also have found out that DICE is on the way of making some changes in it such as making the enemies more easier to kill to fall in line.
