Luft some of your questions I answer below :

1. Can you play on LAN?
didn't see the option in there to create LAN accept private.

2. Are you able to change your IGN on the fly? Or are you stuck with a "gamertag" just like in consoles?
nope didnt think so i can.

3. NAT. Is it easy to config? Or is IW talking trash about catering the "casual gamers".
i dont how to answer this
4. Latency -- how laggy is it?
i only manage to play SP last night. will try today.
5. Oh, and most importantly, can you unlock the game? Some ppl have to wait until the 13th.
yes sir cit can

EDIT
6. I heard that you can't alt-tab while in-game (ctrl alt del only). Can you confirm that?
i did this more then three times and so far game not crashing on me except that i do notice massive fps drop
whenever you in a new area of the map. Most probably it was trying to load files or something like that.

7. Can you callvote while in-game?
this for MP right? havent got the chance yet.

8. Will there be local search? Or will we be forced to play against Europeans/Americans with high latency?
will check tonite.

9. Is there any cd-key in your case?

yeap there is a cd-key in the jewel case but after you finish install the game, the program then connect to steam and download something before you can actually play the game.

Not atm. Just lurking around random mw2 forums so far.

i am experienced fps drop too.

my pc spec:

Intel E6550 stock speed
ATI 4870
4GB ram
WIN 7


maybe ATI need to release driver update for MW2

very likely that you'll need updated drivers.

COD MW2 got prob with install??

ok kewl, now i feel a lot better as i thought i am the only one experienceing this problem. I am currently using "9-10_vista64_win7_64_dd_ccc_wdm_enu-[Guru3D.com]" this are the latest drivers in there for my vista ultimate 64-bit. So we have to wait untill ATI release new grpahic card driver for us

is CODMW2 storyline good? heard that its short , only 5 hours play

Good plot, 5 hours of play is awesome too. You can repeat playing by using different guns and tactics.

Of course you'll get bored soon, and multiplayer is just so broke.

i never played single player for any cod series ..always multiplayer..
and i think after playing it today n yesterday the multiplayer is much better than world at war...(but nothing will ever beat modern warfare 1, always be in my heart as a classic)

although we have problems with getting asia hosts and sometimes there is lag..
it still works and its quite fun..

some of the multiplayer maps are just breathtaking and those kill streaks prizes are really excellent..

even when the ping is showing one bar .. kills keep on coming ..
can't wait till i get snd mode (that's is only what i play) .. coming soon...

brothers, take a look, i just install and i play the MP, i have 2 bar at least most of the time and the game doesnt lag at all, might look slower but it doesn't affect the gameplay, only thing i miss is more crowded player in the map, obviously the map it just ok not that big, cause you can see opponent most of the time in the radar, not hard to spot them,who ever got one bar only,try reduce the graphic texture or double check the connection speed, you know lah Tmnet ma....

Done playing campaign.. took me 5 hours..
About 14 hours to update, download speed at that moment was about 50kb/s.. that's why it took me a lot of time to complete..

nah turn your steam graphic texture down and you'll download faster

At the moment i got 3 bar, may be other host are better,so whoever havent brought it dont be freak out, i try to record, but the file to large to upload, dunno how to resize

Jesus why the heck do you insisting on posting the exact same shit in two different threads

Its not balanced for download.

would anyone be so kind enough to help me setting up NAT config, im using wimax....have no idea how.

I just came back from MP. Not so bad, game are okay, lag a bit but still playable.

edit:

ok ok sorry about that. here you go..

Are you running widescreen? Pick a widescreen reso D:

(Not that it really matters but I'm nitpicky)

Apparently,modifying that file will help you to get lower ping host.

Still,i WILL not be responsible for any bans if VAC caught you modifying any cfg file.
