Steam Sales Thread

[Segitz]

Only today:

Mass Effect 1 for less than 4€

[Broly]

Until Friday, Counter-Strike: Source is on sale for an astounding $6.80! For Mac and PC. Just updated.

[GTAce]

Just saying: If there's something for free, like Portal, please someone send me a PM just in case I might miss it here, that would be nice. :)

[masteratt]

That was to celebrate the MAC launch so I doubt you'll see it often (if at all).
Most Steam sales are as good as 'free' though.

[D3adcell]

HUGE SALES

Summer sales almost every game is on sale. Some really crazy deals.

I really wish I had a better PC.

[masteratt]

OMFG....Sales overload...There is something called TOO MUCH SALE, Steam, sheesh.

Just kidding of course!
I skimmed through for a few seconds, mostly collection packs (Star Wars pack/ R* pack/ India pack etc) so far. Gonna try to hunt some good games on their own, although nothing comes to mind when I try to think of something I'd want. Recently bought Deus Ex as well so I'm not in a buying mood but hopefully something good for an irresistible price pops up.


It's for TODAY ONLY!!!! (16hrs left on the UK countdown) GO GO GO PEOPLE!


TRINE for £3.40......hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
The Witcher: Enchanced Edition for £4.41.....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[D3adcell]

The witcher is 6$ so I was thinking of that and the THQ complete pack comes with all the company of hereos games and titan quest gold.... but yeah I don't really need them and I need a better PC.

[masteratt]

Yeah just added The Witcher to my cart, always wanted to play that. Not interested in Company Of Heroes, re-installed it the other day, felt outdated.
Trine and The Withcer in my cart already.....Trine might be erased though, depends how many more I put in and how expensive overall price gets.

All the money I made from selling my games is going back into games probably because of this deal :(

Second ~Sight for £1.69..............hmmmmmmmmm
Cold Fear £3.34...hmmmmmmmmmmmm...always wanted to try that...
Overlord complete pack £3.75....hmmmmmmm......always had fun with those demos

[D3adcell]

Then there will be daily deals every day until july 4th also.

[masteratt]

Where did you read that?
It seems like every game is on deal right now anyway...?

[woundingchaney]

Got to love the cost of software for pc gaming.

[D3adcell]

Where did you read that?
It seems like every game is on deal right now anyway...?

They usually also do a daily sale thin with these themed sales, like the christmas sale, etc. I doubt they would just have the one day deal to kick it off.

Wounding I just hate the price of the hardware. :(

[Shane]

I just bought the id software pack and the witcher.

I'll try not to spend any more until i see what other deals come out.

[woundingchaney]

I know what you mean, but the hardware anymore is rather affordable (depending on what you want). I just put together an i7 setup (just cpu, mobo, and ram) for less than 400 usd. This of course sounds expensive but a pc is an extremely versatile tool in ones home.

I picked up NBA 2k10 for the heck of it. There isnt much out there that I dont already have that I want. I wouldnt mind trying to get into Aion but I think I will wait for FF14.

[D3adcell]

This is about what I would like wounding http://www.amazon.com/Gateway-FX6831-01-Desktop-PC-Black/dp/B0031U1J2E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1277476008&sr=8-1

[woundingchaney]

Its like Christmas as the deals continue to flood in. New specific game sales every day.

[JasonXe]

I bought lead and gold. It's a pretty good game as long as you have a decent team. Otherwise it's just frustrating to play.

[Shane]

Left 4 Dead 2 for $10.....

I kind of HAVE to buy it if it's that cheap.

[masteratt]

Left 4 Dead 2 for $10.....

I kind of HAVE to buy it if it's that cheap.
Lol that's how they get you man.
Not that I'm complaining :D

(actually I am, my funds are pretty low right now! Even for £6.80!....Although, BOUGHT!)

[Segitz]

Left 4 Dead 2 for $10.....

I kind of HAVE to buy it if it's that cheap.

I would get it too... if the german version wasn't cut :(

[Shane]

I would get it too... if the german version wasn't cut :(

The Australian version is censored as well. But I know you can get all the gore (in the aus verison at least) by simply editing one line of code in a config file.

[JasonXe]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph7I7Bq_tfM

me playing l&g. Game type we were playing was called powderkeg. Someone from the enemy team takes a explosive barrel to destroy our objectives. Simple game type :-D

[masteratt]

R.U.S.E free weekend on Steam. You can pre-load now. The game looked a bit shit to be honest but for free, I'll try it out.

EDIT:
it's active now...

didnt like it

[masteratt]

Free Game: Alien Swarm (http://store.steampowered.com/app/630/)

I'm downloading it now and will play soon if anyone wants to join.

[JasonXe]

have it downloaded but trying to finish uncharted 2 atm.

[D3adcell]

Keep getting the steam servers are too busy message.....damn you steam!

[masteratt]

Keep getting the steam servers are too busy message.....damn you steam!
Keep trying, you'll eventually get through.
I couldn't connect to any games though, servers must be getting bashed.

I've played offline for a few mins, it's a very good game.

[GTAce]

Not a huge fan of top-down shooters, looks pretty good though, most likely too much for machine.
Might download it in the future though, free is always cool.

[masteratt]

Lead And Gold free weekend (starts thursday...dunno how to link to pre-load)

and

FF 11 Ultimate Collection 50% off (http://store.steampowered.com/app/23390/)

[Gummy]

I just re=installed ffXI, haha holy fuck i'm not used to it... everything seems slow after you experience RPG's from Ps3 or whatever, but still fun. I just need to buy a gamepad and so as soon I get my own PC, me and my brother will Party up on FFXIV.


AlienSwarm is pretty damn fun if your team don't suck or run off like fucking idiots. I hate that...

[masteratt]

Mafia II DEMO - And the game is 25% off (http://store.steampowered.com/app/50130/)

[masteratt]

August 12 - August 15: QuakeCon Steam Sale (http://store.steampowered.com/sale/QuakeCon)

[Segitz]

Yeah... great... All Quake games are banned here in Germany^^

[D3adcell]

why quake? Is wolfenstein?

[Segitz]

Quake because of Violence and Wolfenstein for Svastikas and Violence... it's a joke...

[masteratt]

What about Doom games because Day 2: ALL Doom games are 66% off. (http://store.steampowered.com/sale/QuakeCon)
(btw yesterday was oblivion day I forgot to mention)

[Segitz]

Banned too...

[D3adcell]

I feel like your government is just being spiteful of id after they released wolfenstein.

[Segitz]

You can say that^^ Basically every id Game beside the cut down version of Doom 3 and Quake 4 (which is cut beyond belief) are banned... all spin off games too (Duke 3D, partly Commander Keen, all Apogee games, most 3D Realms games)...

But... if those games were released today, none of them would've been banned... and UT1 was not banned... and compare that to Q3A.

[Shane]

So annoyed that I missed out on getting Oblivion GOTY Delux Edition for cheap.

[masteratt]

Fallout 3 GOTY Edition - 50% Off (http://store.steampowered.com/sale/QuakeCon)

[masteratt]

FINAL DAY OF QUAKECON SALES AND THE FINAL IS!!!!

ALL Quake games - 75% off (http://store.steampowered.com/)

5 days of sales, no buys from me, boo.
Not a fan of these guys (bethesda & id) I guess.

[Gummy]

I'm buying it i think.

[masteratt]

Mafia II is now unlocked, i.e: it's available to download/install & play.

[Segitz]

Left for Dead 1 and 2 are currently available for 6.79€ (or thereabouts) on Steam... surefire buy...

[Newboi]

I just bought Left 4 Dead 2. I hope that was a good decision.

[Gegenki]

OMG
Went to the steam store, logged in, 66% off.
Checked my bank balance, told 1 friend and now its gone :mad:

[woundingchaney]

OMG
Went to the steam store, logged in, 66% off.
Checked my bank balance, told 1 friend and now its gone :mad:

look again its still there for me


ooooops only 44% now, still a hell of a deal though

[Segitz]

ANOTHER great sale!

Tales of Monkey Island 86% off (<5€)!

[WolfmanNCSU]

Not really a sale, but this is interesting...

Steam Surpasses 30 Million Account Mark
http://store.steampowered.com/news/4502/

Valve® today announced the latest growth data for Steam, a leading platform for PC & Mac games and digital entertainment, revealing new account growth of 178%, sales growth of over 200%, over 200 Steamworks games shipped to date, and more.

[Segitz]

So... PC gaming is alive and kicking!! Make more games for it, NOW!

[jako]

I just bought Left 4 Dead 2. I hope that was a good decision.

Of course it is , I can't stop playing it with my friends, this is a simple but amasing game.

[masteratt]

THQ WEEK!

Day 1:
All three Red Faction games 75% off. (http://store.steampowered.com/sale/redfaction)

[masteratt]

Day2:
Titan Quest Gold Edition - 75% off. (http://store.steampowered.com/sub/402/)

If you miss Diablo like games and want to play something like it, this game will definitely fill the void.

[masteratt]

Not many THQ fans huh? :p

Day 3:
Metro 2033 - 66% off. (http://store.steampowered.com/app/43110/)

[Segitz]

Not too many good THQ games I'd say^^

[masteratt]

Yeh lol.
Titan Quest was the best game so far I reckon.

[Segitz]

When day one hit, I looked at their back catalogue... Metro 2033 is basically the only thing worth it... and I don't play fps... so yeah... no dice.

[Gegenki]

Just found a message on Facebook from a friend saying L4D is 50% off at £6.50
and L4D2 is 50% off at £7.50
and the bundle for both is £11.50

I didn't read the message properly and bought both separately by accident >_<
I would have been happy with just L4D2 but I bought 1 first

[Segitz]

Yeah, L4D was on sale some weeks ago to, even a bit cheaper... good buy, for that price, I must say.

[Xer0]

I bought Plants Vs. Zombies for $5 a few days ago and I'm thinking about picking up the Warhammer 40k games at their reduced rate for the weekend.

[D3adcell]

Dawn of War II and chaos rising are pretty awesome, I would recommend them for everyone.

[masteratt]

Another set of crazy deals started.

The Give And Get Deal - 24th to 29th. (http://store.steampowered.com/)

Just grabbed Alpha Protocol for £5.

[Raitei]

Got a six pack of L4D2, Have 4 spare keys if anybody wants one for £2.50

[JasonXe]

portal 2 is almost out on steam. Couple of mins.

[frosty]

i'll wait and get it free when i pick up the ps3 version.

[SadPanda]

i'll wait and get it free when i pick up the ps3 version.

same here. mine should be here... in two hours.

[masteratt]

Thought I'll mention it's EA sales week.
Already missed Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday though.

Saturday is: Dead Space day. (http://store.steampowered.com/sale/eaweek)
75% off from Dead Space 1.
40% off from Dead Space 2.

[Segitz]

Dead Space 2 still isn't available in Germany and probably will take another two years or so to arrive (similar to say San Andreas, which was only released recently here).

Bought the Crysis pack... 5€ for 2 such games is ok^^ And I need something to put my new PC parts through their paces... Crysis 2 got NO sale... very weak, considering it was even 50% off in EAs own store...

[Segitz]

Got my parts today... sadly, the boxed CPU still don't include thermal paste by default and I need some for my old aftermarket cooler (Zalman 9700). The boxed cooler is loud as hell when the CPU gets above 50°C.

GPU is great... didn't have any motivation to play anything, though...

Next up... new LCD with 3D support!

[D3adcell]

My i7 rarely gets above 35°C when gaming. The fan it came with works really well.

[Segitz]

I am not sure why I posted this here^^

[masteratt]

Steam is at it again, thsi time, DAILY deals.

Starting with:
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising (http://store.steampowered.com/app/12830/) - 75% off

[JasonXe]

woah 5 buxs for Operation FP. I dunno if the game is any good but 5 buxs is a damn good deal. I'll probably buy it.

Fable 3 & The Witcher 2 is coming out tomorrow. Also Dirt 3 is coming out in a week and Operation FP: Red River is coming out in three weeks. If you pre purchase Dirt 3, you get Dirt 2 for free (you can gift it to someone else if you want).

[masteratt]

I like these guys (http://store.steampowered.com/search/?developer=Pendulo%20Studios) because they keep the PnC genre alive and have a nice style so I have pre-purchased their next game 'Yesterday' (http://store.steampowered.com/app/205840/) and Steam was kind enough to give me a copy of The Next Big Thing (http://store.steampowered.com/app/58570/). Which is a game I already have but I can gift it to someone here. So if anyone wants it, let me know.

I'd love to take it off your hands, looks like a lot of fun, but I know i don't have the time to give it the go that it deserves.

[Segitz]

I didn't like Runaway 1... never played the rest. Found that the puzzles were MUCH TOO complex (i.e. either required pure luck or trial and error) for its own good.

[masteratt]

I agree with you on one of the Runaways, can't remember which. But yeah one of them really annoyed me to the point where I thought "f this" and I just walkthrough'ed through the game. Very lame I know but hey.

I really liked the others though, and The Next Big Thing is pretty damn good so far. Although maybe the balance tipped a LITTLE bit too much to the easy side (had no real trouble and I am 4.2 hours in). It's very hard to balance these games but them being balanced 'ok' to 'good' level and mostly the good writing (had a few chuckles and lols in all their games), means their games are a wonderful adventure to be a part of for me.

Plus I just love PnC games to begin with. After finishing off TNBT and after 'Yesterday', I've got 5 episodes of new Monkey Island waiting :) Which will hopefully time itself nicely into the Double Fine PnC adventure.

[Segitz]

Monkey Island is... not bad. But looking back on it, there were several things that make me "what were they thinking". But for a long time SoMI fan, it's a worthy sequel... a LOT better than MI4.

[masteratt]

Pre-order of Torchlight II gave me Torchlight1 which was already gifted to me by someone else so if anyone wants Torchlight1, let me know.

[Segitz]

I take it^ Want Bastion? Or Glowfish?

[masteratt]

Heard praises of Bastion, so why not. Works with 360 pad as well, means comfortable playing :) I just didn't want to take it before in case someone really wants it. I'm sure I'll enjoy it though so thanks in advance.

Your Steam ID is: TheWretched, correct?

[Segitz]

TheWretched82 I am afraid... the other one was taken

[masteratt]

enjoy :cheers:

[JasonXe]

how do you trade with someone on steam?

[Segitz]

Through the chat interface

[JasonXe]

well i got Borderlands,
Dungeon Defenders
Grand Theft Auto 4
Grid
Lead and Gold
Left 4 Dead 2
Magicka
Opertion FlashPoint: Dragon Rising
Portal
Portal 2
Street Fighter 4

I'm willing to trade.

[solidsnakejej]

Steam sale has started
http://i.imgur.com/1yZdN.png

[D3adcell]

steam store is so busy I can't click on anything with out it giving me an error.

There are also flash deals on the right side when you scroll down. Deus Ex HR is one of them.

[Newboi]

The Steam Sale is so crazy. I bought Dead Rising 2: Off The Record, Rage, Assassins Creed: Revelations, and Metro 2033 for only $38. These deals are just too good. I'm thinking of Getting Crysis 2 now that it's only $11.

Edit: NVM, the price for Crysis 2 went back up...oh well lol. Has anyone played the Dungeon Siege games? How are they? Do they play like Diablo?

[Segitz]

Dunno, never played Dungeon Siege^^

I bought not a whole lot (short on cash), but got Trine 2, DCS Black Shark and the Pendulo Bundle for about 24€. Friend of mine gifted Dead Island to me (you cannot buy this game in Germany), which is nice. Cool game, too.

EDIT: I would still get the ARMA2 collection, if it ever went on a flash sale or something... but 20% isn't a bargain enough for me.

[Newboi]

Oh why can't I resist these flash Steam sales?!!!

I just bought Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition, LA Noire Complete Pack, Super Meat Boy, and Stalker: Call of Pripyat...Why can't I resist?!!!!

[masteratt]

Yeah, been there done that. Only when I looked back at ALL my library (360, ps3, steam, wii, vita) and noticed how many unfinished games I have, it hit me I really don't want to spend any more on games (outside "omg must have it!!" games) until more of my backlog is complete.

And I am sticking to it, 0 purchases on Steam sale thus far. I went crazy in the previous 3-4 sales though.

Yeah, my main back catalog is on the PC and I'm just adding more to it lol. I've been holding off on playing alot of PC games due to the fact I plan on building a PC. I was planning on doing it this fall, but I might wait until next year as Intel's Haswell CPU will hit (and alot of other interesting technologies).

Edit: So Crysis 2 went back on sale for 70% off so I got Crysis 2: Maximum Edition, The Splinter Cell Echelon Pack, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, The Amonita Bundle, The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition, Alan Wake, and Limbo. So including the games withing the bundles, I believe I bought around 19 games total (including the ones from the past couple of days) lol.

[Segitz]

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2012-08-18-steam-big-picture-mode-hits-beta-in-september

Steam "Big Picture" mode hits beta in September

[venomv]

Not sure why but I just got 75% off Portal 2 on Steam, I already have it so if anyone wants it just ask. It's valid through August 30th.

[Segitz]

So did I... and I also own it... maybe Valve wants more coop players?

[masteratt]

Autumn sale up. Nov 21-26.

www.steampowered.com

[Kiwi]

Max Payne 3 for £7. Always something I want going for cheap when I have no cash :(

[Newboi]

I got Max Payne 3, Mark of the Ninja, and Torchlight II. I might not be playing Max Payne 3 for awhile though as it's a whooping 32 GB!!!!!!!!!

I'm only rocking a 256GB SSD and I already have a bunch of game installed on it. I'm going to have to beat several of them and uninstall them before I can enjoy Max Payne 3. I've never seen a game remotely this big lol.

Anyways, I played the first stage of Mark of the Ninja and I have to say that game is obscenely fun. The stealth mechanics are absolutely incredible. I also played Torchlight 2 some. It's really fun, and it has also reminded me that I haven't played a dungeon crawler in years lol. Borderlands 2 was 50% off, but I realized that I would be spending another 30 to 60 bucks on DLC anyways. I'd rather wait for the game of the year version to arrive and go on sale that has all of the DLC bundled. With the huge back catalog I have right now, I wouldn't even get to play it for another year (if I'm disciplined in just plowing through my games...which I won't be lol).

[D3adcell]

I thought about torchlight 2 but think i'll wait until christmas or later. I have too many games right now and I know it will be on sale again.

[Crazybone126]

Those sales were absolutely phenomenal. Sad thing is, I didn't know about the sale until just yesterday and missed a majority of it. But from what I saw and from what I heard, it was quite great. I was really thinking about picking up Sonic Generations and Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, but I refused as I have way too many other games (on console) to get through. They'll probably be up for sale again during the Steam Holiday Sale anyway. They ARE doing that this year, right? The reason I ask is because I don't remember them doing the Steam Autumn Sale this late. If my memory serves me correct, it's usually done in October. And ending a sale just to put a new one up the following week would be kind of strange. If they are doing it, then it'll probably be much later in December compared to a whole half month's worth of sales like it usually is.

It's usually the week of christmas.

[curryking1]

A lot of the sales for games previously on sale can go on sale again during the same Fall Steam sale.

Just keep your eye on the flash sales and stuff. At least I think it's possible. I'm pretty sure last Steam sale I noticed that a few games which were featured deals also went on flash sales.

Also I think the last day they might do a best sellers list of deals? I think they do that too sometimes.

Bought Witcher 2 for a friend for 7.49 CAD :)

My GoG version was 22.49 I think or something like that, but worth it too :)

[masteratt]

Not really a Steam sale but if you "Like" THQ page you get Metro 2033 for FREE.

http://freemetrogame.com/

[Kiwi]

They're going crazy with their stuff at the moment. The Humble Bundle was a pretty good deal to start with, and they've already added an extra three games to that I think.

[curryking1]

2 games and some RF dlc

Titan Quest is frigging awesome, better than D3 and TL2 imo, feels more like Diablo Ii. Frigging TL2 and Diablo 3 throw way too much useless items at you. At least in Titan Quest when I find an item it has a proper chance at improving your character lol.

THQ gives away Metro 2033 on PC for free

[Segitz]

Also the HIB now includes Warhammer Dawn of War

[Crazybone126]

They kind of silently did this, but the Steam Holiday Sale began just a few hours ago.

[curryking1]

I haven't bought anything. I have enough games and all the new ones I'm kind of interested in are all more than $20. So buying at that price doesn't even feel like a Steam sale lol.

I wanted Space Marine to be part of the THQ bundle though :(

I'm going to wait out the whole thing this year I think. I have a lot of awesome games from Humble Bundles and a lot of PS3 games to catch up on.

[D3adcell]

Yeah i'm not really seeing anything interesting. Amazon had Dark Siders collection for 13$ (1 and 2 plus all DLC for 2). But even that I have so many games to play now and don't know when i'll get around to it so i'm going to pass. The one game I want is The Secret World. I should have gotten it last weekend on amazon for 15$ but i'm hoping steam will have it on sale.

[curryking1]

I'm kind of sad I bought Legend of Grimrock from Steam on the Autumn sale though lol, because now it's on the Humble Bundle 7 and I sort of wanted Shank 2... even though I haven't played Shank from a previous HB, I would've liked having both. Don't want it enough to buy it alone though. I might drop some money for the HB though and just donate or something.

[JasonXe]

Magicka free to play till the weekend.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/42910/

[JasonXe]

Chivalry is free to play this weekend.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/219640

[Newboi]

Hotline Miami is on sale for 50% of today as well. Definitely a fun title.

[Newboi]

I just wanted to say that if you plan on getting Bioshock Infinite for PC, you guys should definitely pre-order it via Steam. You are guaranteed to get a free copy of Bioshock and if enough people pre-order it, everyone will get a free copy of XCOM: Enemy Unknown for the PC!!!!

[Crazybone126]

If you don't currently own Far Cry 3, there's an amazing sale happening on Steam right now.

You can currently buy the game for $29.99 or you can buy the ENTIRE FAR CRY SERIES, INCLUDING THE DLC FOR FAR CRY 3, for just $10 more.

A wise man once told me, "If you pass up a perfect opportunity, you're a fucking moron."

[BahnNZ]

Over here they've screwed up the pricing. You can buy Far Cry 3 for $39.99(+10 you live in NZ tax), or the Franchise pack for only $0 extra, $39.99. :)

[curryking1]

Yea they do that sometimes... I've noticed that pricing on some of the Steam seasonal sales lol.

I wasn't all that bothered about pre-ordering at first, because I already have a copy of Bioshock. Been interested in trying out XCOM though, so I've pre-ordered it now. Only problem I have right now is that I have about 35MB left on my 1TB data drive, gonna need to get hold of another drive quickly! The last of my remaining space was eaten up by the Assassin's Creed games. Picked up II, Brotherhood, Revelations and III for £30 last night. Oh yea, I also got Rayman Origins the day before.

So much for not buying any more games!

One game at a time, give it a go.

[Crazybone126]

Technically, I already own BioShock: Infinite as it came with my graphics card.

Mine came with it too but I won't use it if pre-order bonuses don't work with a code. Because I rather pre-order directly it and get X:COM as well (assuming it unlocks, which it probably will).

One game at a time, give it a go.

I'm playing one game at a time right now (finished Max Payne 3 over the weekend btw), it's just when you get a bunch of games pop up for peanuts, then I may as well pick them up. Then on top of that you've got all these new games I wanna play, like Bioshock and Tomb Raider.

At least now I can actually play games, so I've got more time to get through all of these.

I got Rayman Origins and Far Cry 3 from the Ubisoft sale. I was thinking about Assassins Creed 3, but the gameplay of the series ran it course for me in AC2. I bought Revelations and got bored with it instantly.

I do have to say that Far Cry 3 is one of the most fun games I've played in a very long time. It runs well and looks amazing on my rig.

Hey Guys, just to let everyone know; All pre-order unlockables are now unlocked for BioShock Infinite so that means a free copy of XCOM and a free copy of Bioshock for all previous, recent, and soon to be Steam pre-orders.

Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad is only $2.99 through this weekend. There's also a free weekend happening for the game as well.

I don't know about you guys, and this is kind of awkward or strange to say nowadays, but I've kind of missed the WWII shooters. I remember the days when we were all sick of them and begged devs to go modern.

I miss them too, it doesn't sound weird at all.

It lends itself to gameplay better too, because not every weapon is an assault rifle/rapid firing thing. Some are fast, slow, very slow at firing.

It's why I play DoD Source, much more fun for me than COD in respect to MP. The variance in weapons lends itself to more depth imo, and more fun to change classes and stuff when they are so different, like changing from a scout to MG.

And since the game's on sale, maybe this Pacific campaign expansion that's going to be coming out soon is even more of an incentive to pick it up.

I feel the same, it is a bit odd.
