Today's MW2 Mass Sigh: 18 Max Multiplayer
You know the scene in the Hobbit where they arrive at Beorn's house? Rather than the whole mass of 'em going in at once, they just send a couple in first, and then gradually reveal exactly how many dwarves are going to be scoffing his honeycakes. The idea being, that he'd tell them to sling their hook if they all marched in at once. Since the number of how many smelly, bearded bastards are going to be staying in his gaff creeps up on him, he rolls with it. I'm beginning to suspect Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare PC PR tactic is inspired by that. I'm also beginning to hope that the PC Beorn turns into a bear and eats them. Yes, it's been confirmed that the PC Multiplayer will be capped at 9v9. Perhaps predictable with the removal of dedicated servers, but yet more dwarves in our house. In brighter news, Zombiecow are trying to ease the wait for the faithful with a 50% discount off their Time, Gentlemen Please until it comes out. Go gets.
Oh - fancy seeing the launch trailer? Here you go:
