Playing With Swords: MW2 | 360 | 9/16

by Dan on September 14, 2011

With Call of Duty XP and my vacation taking up my last two Fridays, I haven’t done any gameplay sessions in a while. I know next week will be Black Ops due to the double XP weekend (it’s in honor of Rezurrection on PS3 and PC). That leaves me with a lot of options for this week — crippling, terrifying options.

What do you want to play and on what system? Majority rules; we’ll play whatever you choose wherever you choose this Friday, September 16 at 6pm PT. (But if you vote, you better show up to play if that game wins!) You are spoiled for choice, so get your vote on.

UPDATE: MW2 for 360 is the winnah. See you on XBL.

What do you wanna play?

    Lets start a chant, PS3 PS3 PS3… I’m so going to kick your ass on MW2 Dan Dan. Dont be afraid, just go with it. Oh I also find it funny that Black Ops ( which sucks hard) is not on the list. High Five Dan Dan you just earned some brownie points in my book.

    Anyway, I agree. Modern Warfare 2 is such a great game, and it doesn’t get much Playing with Swords love. Voted for MW2 on Xbox 360. :-)

    I’d like to play Blur on 360 but failing that I’d play Warcraft or MW2 on 360.

    I chose WoW, but I’ve still got work to do to get to 85. I’m about 1.75 levels away.

    Blur, forever and ever. (I also don’t own any of the other games except GH:WoR)

  • http://oneofswords.com/ Dan (OneOfSwords)

    Not an Activision game. Thanks for playing.

    Hey Dan, are you into any RTS games?
    How about some Starcraft 2, maybe some 8-player FFA games?…

  • http://oneofswords.com/ Dan (OneOfSwords)

    I’m not an RTS player, no. I have SC2 but I have not actually played it yet.

    All I can say, Monica, is that if this new, third PAX show they are planning comes to Texas as some are suggesting it might…you better represent.

    hope this went well and everyone had fun

    Why don’t you play MW2 on the PC so you can deal with the legions of hackers and poor connection speeds that the rest of us have to deal with?

  • http://oneofswords.com/ Dan (OneOfSwords)

    Primarily, because it didn’t win the poll. Thought that was kind of obvious.

    But — especially since it was a poll option and came in fourth — why did you assume I don’t play MW2 on PC? I do sometimes still jump on MW2 from work and play with the folks here. It’s mostly a matter of having the time toward the end of the work day. 

    More conversation, less assumption.

  • David D.

    The conversation that the community wants with Activision is in regards to why VAC has been allowed to go obsolete in MW2 and if your company has a strategy to prevent hacking in MW3.   Will Activision provide any assurance that if players buy the COD Elite product that hackers will not be successful in corrupting gameplay?

    More conversation, much more.

  • http://oneofswords.com/ Dan (OneOfSwords)

    The purchasing of Elite question is moot until they announce a price for Elite on PC. It might be a free-only thing, or it might be paid but a different structure. Only the console versions have price tags, so nobody has asked PC players for their money in regards to Elite — which makes “can you guarantee that I will get my money’s worth for a product that is not being sold” a curious question. Please see the various other Elite articles on this website for more Elite information and the current state of it on the PC. 

    The other question sounds like something you should ask the developers directly, as it is about how the game is built and maintained.  

    Still have not answered my question, however: Why did you assume that I do not play MW2 on PC?

  • David D.

    That was not the intent of my query.  If I say to a companion,  “why don’t you get some pizza?” and he replied, “Oh, so you assume that I don’t get pizza?”  Then, we would not get any pizza.   

    In this case, you asked for suggestions as to which system you should play and I said, “Why don’t you play MW2 on the PC…?”  There was no implicit assumption that you don’t play on the PC.
