RIOT SHIELD!

What can shoot through a riot shield?  Anything?  Nothing?

No idea at this point. I know if you have a riot shield, you can't hold a gun, so that's some balance.

Did they learn nothing from Counter Strike   Everybody hates the f*cking shield.

Perks and Kill Streaks have been leaked as well.

All I can say is the 25 kill streak is pretty amazing looking.

From what I gather there are also legitimate copies of the game out on the street that litle rat bastards stole from the stores adn sold to their little nerdy friends.

Lean is a terrible feature in FPS, might as well just allow wall hacking

speaking of which, what do they use for anti-cheat on the pc?  is punkbuster still around?

and that 0 ping advantage for the host?  why?

[ew2x4]

I just made my preorder for the far superior console version.

I doubt I'll pick it up at midnight. I'll probably just pick it up after work. I may get off early, since I have tons of personal time. check inbox on gtag.

[The1BigWillie]

I'm picking up at midnight.  Have a group of about 8 guys I play wiht about 3 nights a week. We're all going to take Tuesday off and most of Wednesday.  Playing from midnight until we die in front of the TV.  Even had some MW2 Monster energy drink!  lstmnstndng44

Lean has been a part of Call of Duty since its inception, there is absolutely no reason to take it out, just because consoles don't have it.  It is a good feature.  Punkbuster is still around, but MW2 is using VAC, which lets you play for a week after it catches you cheating before it bans you.

0 ping host advantage should be obvious.  Ping your own IP and it will be less than 1ms.

Also, no /record function =  No mod tools =  9v9 limit =   No ability to kick players from match =

I know what lean is, and it's stupid.  It promotes corner camping and lame gameplay.  Shouldn't have lasted to CoD4.  It gives an unfair and stupid advantage to the camping geeks who live and die by there K/D instead of playing the game for fun.

I understand why a host server has 0 ping, duh.  I don't understand why they would allow it.  0 ping/LAN gives an incredible advantage to the host player, they can and should at least give him some artificial lag to level the playing field.  That's all I meant. 

I remember during Quakecon qualifiers we played 4 Kings on a Chicago server.  We had 20-40 ms pings, 4k (from England) were running like 140.  They killed us  but it makes it hard for both sides.

Oh well.  How well does VAC work and how, screenshots?  I might need to research it on the intrawebs.  PB sucks.

Friend of mine got it for 360 today through a guy off Amazon.  Sent me a pic of the case. Lucky bastard.
