I remember waiting almost 2 hours to get the game at midnight because the line was long as fuck and GameStop continued the ritual of hiring literal retards as cashiers. I'm glad that midnight releases at GameStop died. I can now preload games and play them right away at midnight without having to leave my house and wait in line filled with smelly degenerates.
>Steam
The steam version didn't come out until like 2 years after the console release. I'm talking about the when GTA5 originally released back in 2013 on 360 and PS3, you dumb zoomer.
I pre-ordered it and went in to get it in the afternoon, I can't remember much besides the guy working there was an asshole. The online servers were fucked for the first 24 hours. But man did I put in a lot of hours before heists dropped.
I don't remember that at all. Maybe I didn't get it the day of. I was on vacation when I pre ordered it. My first played date on my character is October 2013

That's when the multiplayer came out, around early October. September 17 is when the game came out and it only had the single player.

Well I was probably just misremembering cuz I only remember playing the single player for like a day. Although it was probably longer. Plus its been 10 years
>gta online two weeks later >hyped all day to play >dont get to play because the servers are so overloaded and no one can play the intro mission
cant believe that was 10 years ago
I don't really like these games on their own/as single-player or online multiplayer, but doing Special Ops couch co-op with a friend is one of the most fun times I've ever had in any FPS.
Spec Ops is literally the only good thing on MW2 and MW3
killstreaks were when the series jumped the shark. oh, you got eight kills in a row? have an NPC come in and kill people for you! why the fuck are you even playing a pvp game at that point to summon bots to do it for you? truly showing how shallow the formula is
I'm in my 30s and MW2 is just one part of the very end of my teenage years
I know Ganker used to trash CoD/Halo/etc. and they were probably right to do so but it doesn't matter anymore
Game was fun and easily is the best MP cod because it was a complete fucked up broken mess. This is the key ingredient missing in modern cods, forced because of compfags want to keep things "fair".

Fuck COD, fuck Activision and most of all fuck CODnaggers.
It’s insane to think just how much games have changed since then. Now when you boot up cod, it’s like browsing a Netflix tier subscription service now. Someone said on Ganker that since capeshit is dying, the next media to be completely killed by corporatism is video games and honestly, it’s true because it’s happening right now
You can’t. Gen Z is the first non-white majority generation in America and gen alpha is an even great number than that. The days of good soulful games are over sadly
cucktivision also just recently sent a cease and desist letter to the iw4x project, former alterIwnet and fourdeltaone, these people provided the ONLY playable and enjoyable MW2 multiplayer experience and listened to the loyal playerbase and made the game great and of course fucktivision can't let them be.
Can't wait for the Fortnite nostalgia days and the >You just had to be there
homosexuals telling everyone how much they "socialized" in it.
COD, Halo, WoW and their respective fanbases are pure fucking cancer.
I don't really like these games on their own/as single-player or online multiplayer, but doing Special Ops couch co-op with a friend is one of the most fun times I've ever had in any FPS.
Dang, I remember standing in line at midnight to get that. I remember there was a cute girl in front of me who was really excited for the game, which was nice because none of my lady friends liked FPSes, most of them were addicted to WoW at the time.
And then I came home and posted the story to Ganker and they made fun of me for talking to girls.
That game was so kino, so much better then the nu modern ones.
Still kino. I replay the campaign once every year or so, in terms of number of completions it must be my most played game, probably followed by Black Ops 1 which I also love and finished a bunch of times.
Sadly I never got to experience the multiplayer quite at it's peak since I didn't get internet in my house until right after Black Ops had already come out, so I missed peak MW2 multiplayer by a couple of months and mostly played the then-current Blops instead.
I remember playing it to death on splitscreen around friend's houses after school and on sleepovers though.
I also never got all the achievements for the game, the only one I never got was for all the stars on Spec Ops. I could never finish the mission where you have to move up the street with the Stryker and defend the buildings on 3 stars.
Techically you could have still played MW2 at that time. Lobbies were pretty packed even during BLOPS launch window from what I remember although I dropped off after a little bit.
I did play it a good amount, but all my friends had Xbox Live before me so they had already been playing MW2 for its whole life cycle and always wanted to play Blops instead whenever we were together, so I mostly played MW2 when I was online on my own.
MW2 just came out last year, retard
damn the year most of Ganker was born as well
I want to fucking go back
Same.
when was the last time you were hyped for a game launch?
>hyped

You fucking wat? I bought this game on steam, no one was forcing you to wait in line

It's a CoD 4 thread, zoomie
It's a mw2 thread, you retard. And I was replying to

Are you talking about the PS4 and Xbox one version? On the 7th Gen consoles the multiplayer didn't come out until 2 weeks after the game released.
I don't remember that at all. Maybe I didn't get it the day of. I was on vacation when I pre ordered it. My first played date on my character is October 2013

Come out Jan 2024.
It's looking amazing, hope it turns out good
Spec Ops is literally the only good thing on MW2 and MW3
Why are you hyped for a man with rubber cancer in hawaii?
Cyberpunk 2020
I never experienced any serious bugs and got my money's worth.
Dark Souls 2
kino
we want dedicated servers
fuck i remember the day playing it on release, had to go a doctor the next day to give a blood test
did MW2 do anything right in multiplayer? seems like everything was dumbed down from cod4
>gif
literally me realizing i fucked up life
Yeah the killstreaks were a lot better and fleshed out, more attachments and ways to unlock them, better perks, MW2 shat on CoD4
>didnt just lose kill streaks because you didnt use them
killstreaks were when the series jumped the shark. oh, you got eight kills in a row? have an NPC come in and kill people for you! why the fuck are you even playing a pvp game at that point to summon bots to do it for you? truly showing how shallow the formula is
that was in later games though
MW2 had no AI fuckery like that well unless you consider turrets AI fuckery
the weapon camos were kino
also just really good looking guns in general
>the weapon camos were kino
I remember going to the midnight release with my brother and a couple of his friends. and What a fucking night. I miss midnight releases at GameStop.

Hey remember the boycott?
Worked as well as the Hogwarts boycott. Somethings never change.
>javelin glitch
holy fuck that was so much fun every time people saw me running at they they'd do a 180 turn and try to run away.
if they kill me I explode with the force of a predator missle
if they dont kill me I knife them
Riot shield, throwing knife, scavenger, stun grenades was my jam.
I just remember the first few hours and being like holy fuck they turned the insanity up to 11.

exactly every weapon is overpowered
the f2000 wasnt overpowered retard
Take me back, bros
with this game the pc cod went to shit and they forced the crappy console lobbies to the pc players
Where my AlterIWnet niggas at
Always been here, cunt. Nowadays it's all iw4x and pluto though. I'd rather kill myself than risking my PC to play vanilla cod

Fuck COD, fuck Activision and most of all fuck CODnaggers.
you make some good points but itll never be topped
rip o7
Delta Force: Blackhawk Down, Battlefield 2, SOCOM and COD4 dethroned it years before.
MW2 was nothing but marekting.
Enjoy your AAA console slop like Bethesda, EA and CDpozzedRed games then, I'll be having actual fun.
>turned CoD into a console focused franchise
They should do that with every franchise so that you cry more
>2010

Scared shitless playing zombies for the first time

mw3 is getting some heat supposedly so maybe nah nvm its over just let it burn
we didn't realize how good we had it until rednecks got on the mic
Huh what u mean
F to a great game franchise
How do we save gaming?
AAA is burning, it's saving itself
Playing Bannerlord right now and having fun by the way.
You can’t. Gen Z is the first non-white majority generation in America and gen alpha is an even great number than that. The days of good soulful games are over sadly
We don't, it's unironically over.
It's already healing bro!
Fortnite OG what?

I fucking hate activision so much!
I still play this online along with blops 1&2 on my series x, shits pretty cash
>unironic MW2 nostalgia
Are you really surprised?
There's fucking Destiny nostalgia now
that OST sounds like something straight out of WoW
It's generic fantasy soundtrack in both cases
i dont understand the hype around destiny, only played the betas of 1 and 2 and they were hot dogshit
-HH
Yeah, what a horrible day that was. The franchise that irreversibly turned FPS games into shit, alongside Halo.
Can't wait for the Fortnite nostalgia days and the
>You just had to be there
homosexuals telling everyone how much they "socialized" in it.
COD, Halo, WoW and their respective fanbases are pure fucking cancer.

That's literally happening right now. Did you just not see the threads mocking it?
>Sesaon
God, I cannot wait to watch the world burn
Move on gramp
