Why use cheap, replaceable HDD space when the disk drive can do the work?

Guess the drive's replaceable as well though, just takes a hundred bucks, a call to Sony, and a few weeks.

There are lots of games that don't require install, I don't see why this is still relevant.

Why does N4G hate MW2 and IW ?? They did a good job with this game, and its true, they know their way around the PS3 very well. Look at COD4 and COD5. They were both identical on PS3 and 360. It just shows what a great engine they've made.

I prefer an install. When it comes down to what is better it is always better to have it on the HDD instead of the disc. The system can access data faster. I want the option to install all my games. Just like how it is on the 360.

"well they did work with NaughtyDog so i'm sure some of that know how came off onto them"

LOL u had ta spin this somehow didn't ya. Nice execution btw. I woulda missed it if I hadn't looked hard enough. I agree with u on ur other point though. After hearing about the Bad Company 2 beta, I have no need to buy MW2 this year or any other game for that matter. Time ta start saving for next year.

The Wands
GOW3
Bad Company 2
EA MMA
Splinter Cell: Conviction(PS3)
Agent
The Last Guardian
Shenmue 1 and 2 on PSN

And thats only the stuff I know about :)

if you had too look hard then it means that what every you were looking for wasn't there, which ultimately translates to You = Fanboy!!! because they always see things that arent there. I stated facts. and we've known for quite some time that ND games on PS3 didn't do installs, and we know that IW has been sharing tech back and forth with ND, AND we know that IW has got it's hand around PS3 since they did an awsome job with COD4... SOOO i can only assume that all that help make MW2 what it is today on the PS3...

Instead of having a "install screen", if you just put a spinning coin down in the bottom of the screen for 2 minutes the most everyone will think that there was no install.

Also, by making cut scenes non-skipable, you can fool everything into thinking there are no loading sequences as well.

I think Uncharted had great presentation, but I get tired of everyone touting it as a no install, no loading, game.

jmare - 28 days 8 hours ago

No one ever said it was a no loading game. You can skip the cutscenes. There is no install, dumbass. There is no file on the hard drive from playing Uncharted 1 or 2. Maybe you should look up what install means. Furthermore, why is it a big deal? The games caches when you start and then streams from the disc as you play. Maybe you should stop being a Fighter Against Games and just enjoy them.

Yet MGS4 and Motorstorm did.

LMFAO they really don't look that great, and they still had poor load times.

@goldene355- Yeah, because what determines if a game has an install or not is ONLY it's graphics /sarcasm
BTW: A game doesn't have to be a Killzone 2 to look great. For a multiplat, MW2 looks outfreakingstanding! I suggest you re-watch the E3 gameplay snow level and read ALL the previews of the game so far. Everyone has said great things about the graphics.

I'm not bashing the PS3. I'm a PS3 and PC gamer. I don't own a 360. From what I've seen the game doesn't look much better than COD4. It's still a good looking game.

Yuor comment is a double edge... because the way you come across, you sound like the xbox 360 is your pride and joy... whats wrong with people loving the hell out of there investment in entertainment. arent they not allowed to have pride over their 600-300 dollar purchase? who the Hell are you to tell them how to feel if they want to express there joy of owning said electronics for entertainment... please lets not turn this thread into a flame.. no where in his comment did he even put the PS3 on any pedestal. nor was his comment making it his pride and joy. because for everything you say about PS3 owners the same can be said about you.

I swear fanboys/fangirls like you are the worst. people just cant have a moment to enjoy themselves without vicious and selfish wolves like your self coming in to spoil the fun for someone. GTFO of here or stay on topic, as the fanboy zone is one tab to the right -->

Yea. The dedicated server issue and limiting games to 18 players is keeping me on the fence on whether or not to purchase the game. I'll probably still purchase it anyways though.

mauleriscool - 29 days 3 hours ago

you can't buy it used since when you install it, you have to register it online through steam. That means it's tied to an account on steam. So buying an account that can get scammed in the long wrong is just plan dumb.

That's upscaled not real 1080p it's fake. The real resolution is 600p.

Agree(5) | Disagree(0) | Report

deadreckoning666 - 29 days 4 hours ago

In all honesty, do u thk the fact that the resolution being only 600p will stop anyone from buying this game? Most of the people who buy this game won't know and more importantly won't care.

@xiao- Relax man, do u wanna marry me or something? Jump off my junk will ya. I KNOW its upscaled, all I'm saying is that if u put the game in front of someone without telling them the resolution, they WOULDN'T be able to tell what the resolution is. BTW it IS HD. HD is anything above 500p. Just because its not 720p does NOT mean its not HD. Do more research, please, for everyones sake.

Bubbles for Steck67! This HD crap is just fuel for the fanboy wars. The naked eye CAN'T tell the difference. In fact, there is no such thing as "sub-hd", its not even an official term lol. There ARE lower forms of HD, but sub-hd theoretically doesn't even exist.

CoD isnt about graphics but more of gameplay, besides, unless if you count the pixels, it's hardly distinguishable betwen 6XXp to HD. Like GTA 4 PS3 and GTA 4 360 for example. It's said that the PS3 has a 630p native resolution, but it's hardly unnoticable when compared to the 360 versions 720p.

Nai, it's sub-HD so you're half correct

NaiNaiNai,
mw2res = 600p;

if (mw2res < 720p)
System.out.println("Moder n Warfare 2 is SD.");

Output:
Modern Warfare 2 is SD.

:D

SD resolutions are all resolutions below 720p.
HD resolutions are resolutions equal to or above 720p.

LinuxGuru - 29 days 2 hours ago

Actually, all resolutions from 480i (576i PAL) and down are considered SD, and between 480p <---> 720p is considered ED (Enhanced Definition), and 720p or greater = HD.
