This weekend starting now, MW3 on steam will be free. It will only be for this weekend though. You will not have a permanent copy.
One weekend is all you need to realise you don't want to play any longer than that.
Too bad it's selling at $99 still… Massive rip off in my opinion
its kinda of a waste of bandwidth though… i prefer to use the download limits for something more educational, like man and women doing.. urm.. educational things.
For science!
NEVER HEARD THAT ONE BEFROE
Noticed that you used singular for male and plural for female, thumbs up!
Thumbs up? ;-)
Urgh, let's not start this debate again. You don't see COD players spamming BF3 deals with 'COD FTW'.
Got to love the divide between two games , Im a long time cod and bf player and now both games are trash and a small speck of what they used to be.
Then again the community and IQ of gamers has declined haha
Yeah what the hell is wrong with the bf3 community now. Even in the hardcore modes you still have trouble getting people to actually do objectives. Had a team of three guys who just wanted to all be recon and lie on the hill near base while the map got swarmed…
I think that is partly due to COD players knowing that MW3 really isn't that enjoyable.
LoL and BF3 is full of bugs , crashes and exploits?
The BF3 community is no better than cod
Pot calling the kettle black but oh derp Low IQ on de internets
My bad.
How about: SKYRIM FTW!
Great, so my weekend of PC gaming is going to be infiltrated with aimbots and wallhacks.
I love how Steam do this though. Always give a free weekend, which is more of a reason any PC owner should have Steam. Your computer doesn't have to be 'AAA' to have it, but they have some cool freebies.
It's the multiplayer only if anyone is wondering, I was going to just download it now and finish the SP over the weekend… But, nay.
I like these deals, it's not a bad game though I don't feel desperate to play it that often so a free weekend occasionally enough for me. Then back to my hat simulator :)
This is what we need the NBN for - 48 hour (playable) huge game downloads, facehook, youtool and pron!
For some reason I felt MW2 was better O_O
I agree. I very much enjoyed MW2 and sunk a heck of a lot of time into the multiplayer with friends.
Couldn't get into MW3. I bought it (on Xbox) so that I could play if friends wanted to play. But alas, no one else likes it either.
I'd agree. MW2 was a better game, though the multiplayer lobbies take forever lately and the players still on the servers are pretty die-hard and arrogant, so I hardly fire it up anymore.
I know a bunch of MW veterans, even they saw no improvement in MW3…, joke was they went and tried BF3… LOL
Thanks OP, I wanted to try it since I've been an AAO & BF player for nearly 6+ years now…
Not even worth the bandwidth. Certainly wasn't worth the 60-70 I paid for it on opening night.
Even black ops felt newer and better…
download is going very slow at 100-250kb/sec (NSW Internode)
Great for a fun weekend for some, gateway drug for others :)
Thank goodness for iiNet freezone!
Was just thinking the same for my Internode Unmetered Content! 14GB I don't have to worry about :D
I don't really think this is a bargain - its a trial, nothing more, nothing less. That's not to say the concept of these free weekends isn't a good one: it gives you the chance to play the game before you buy, etc - but all in all, there is no saving to be made; therefore, I don't think its a bargain. Steam usually has about 1 free weekend per month anyway, and, to my knowledge, they aren't usually classified as a deal.
This is another one of those situations (like the Diablo 3 Open Beta) where it's not technically a deal, but is well worth being posted as one for the purpose of informing the OzBargain community. It is pretty clear that there is a lot of gamers that frequent this site and appreciate being told about things like this. So yeah in theory is should be a forum topic - but then hardly anyone would see it.
I realise that people might like to see it, and, yes, informing the community is what this site is all about. But I still disagree that this should be listed as a bargain. If, say, the 33% off was included, then I think it would be appropriate, but this is still not a 'freebie'. If anything, its just a promotion to get people to buy the game. If a lot of gamers do visit this site on a regular basis, then there's a fair chance that they, if interested, would know where to look for a regular event such as this - the Steam homepage. I'm not saying that this shouldn't be posted at all, just that it shouldn't be classified as a deal in itself. If things like this were posted in the forums, then perhaps people would use it more.
Well I tried this but where's the tutorial?
I have nfi how to play the game besides the basics. Some guy seemed to be nuking me from above?? Gave up after 5 minutes and won't be back.
um.
point and shoot.
Hackers on just about every game I played. Will not ever be buying this game.
I don't know why people cheat, it just takes the fun out of everything. And its blatantly obvious too.
You can say that again. A guy I played with ended one particular round with a KD ratio of 45:0. His gamer tag? "AIMBOT"
Not even kidding.
More of a reminder than a bargain.
Steam goers would be constantly checking these deals and whatnot (which, mind you, pop up whenever you exit a game) to make sure they're not missing out on anything anyway.
I guess this is good if you want to try the game before you buy, otherwise I wouldn't bother
