Well I haven't heard how things are going (Steam account wise) for those running/playing on these modded servers, that's what I want to know. Because if IWNet really is as shitty as pretty much everyone is saying, then there's no way I'll get MW2 unless I can play on dedicated servers--be it hacked or official.

I dont think those who actually bought the original game would actually have it modified & on steam.... too risky with steams VAT sercurity.

the only thing we can do is wait for the modders/haXx0rz who successfully pirated the game to come up with something.

otherwise the game will still continue to be hosted by peoples own machines & internets which could be really really laggy

Yup you can download it for next to nothing from GOG.com (goodoldgames)

So much fun just flying around and killing everything in your path. The site has 1,2,3 and expansion (4). all for about $10

What I read on the TeknoGods page suggests that you need to have the game on a working Steam account to be able to play it on the hacked dedicated servers. They even tell you how to make a new Steam account and backup your old one.

Force AA in the drivers. Works like a charm, at least for me.

I've tried, didnt work, looked up some forums and most just say its because the unreal engine 3 doesnt support AA, keep forgeting about that, oh well, its not that bad anyways, i just leave film grain on and it distracts the jaggies:D
