Just 8 more days to go... C'mon, c'mon!
- The Modern Warfare 2 Dedicated Server Petition has reached 175,000 sigs.
- PS3 players can play MW2 at SonyStyle stores on 9 November, as the game will be installed for customers to try out. OTOH, MW2 is being played on Xbox Live, apparently by folks who obtained early MW2 Xboxes or pirated torrent copies of the game. Community newsboy, Robert "Fourzerotwo" Bowling has tweeted that a leaderboard reset will level the playing field right before Modern Warfare is released. It still grinds my grain when I think that a bunch of lucky bucketasses will be cozy and warm, fragging on Xbox Live, while I'm getting rained on waiting in line in front of GameStop.
- Spoiler warning: Gamer op-ed on Destructoid explains why one player can't support Modern Warfare 2.
- Rumored Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer perks from Kotaku.
- Rumored Modern Warfare 2 killstreak rewards from Kotaku.
- ScrawlFX has an unsourced article on MW2's rumored prohibition on party chat during multiplayer. Similar stories: NY Examiner; EL33TOnline.
- BASHandSlash has some commentary on Infinity Ward's decision to pull the grenade spam PSA video, as reported in yesterday's CoD links. I didn't get the F.A.G.S. acronym joke either, so I guess I'm slow at multiple levels, not just in FPSes. Did that many people think it was in such bad taste that it needed to be removed? And, really, anything that hand-wringing, Green Party-leaning euro douches think is a good move is, on principle, questionable.
- While we're at it, here's the link to Saturday's BASH discussion.
- GameSpy goes nuclear with its report on Modern Warfare 2's ultimate killstreak reward.
- Joystiq has the best of Big Download for last week.
- Joystiq also has news that Ubisoft will not release a demo for its upcoming Assassin's Creed sequel. Maybe they can loosen up their security so there can be a bazillion early copies out there, just like Infinity Ward is enjoying with Modern Warfare 2.
- Worthplaying reports that American McGee's Alice is coming back.
- Alpha Males will cringe at this. We're the Most Pathetic Men in History.
- Find a DARPA balloon and win a cool $40K.
- The Isaac Asimov estate has authorized new robot novels.
- Carl Sagan is still cool. Enjoy this auto-tune YouTube video.
