November 10th marked the release of one of this years most anticipated games yet. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. And the question on the majority of gamer’s minds is, “Will Modern Warfare 2 live up to the hype, or drown in its shortcomings?”
A few weeks prior to its release IW, the development studio behind the COD franchise, raised concerns about IW’s lack of perceived commitment to the PC platform. Posted on a fans podcast was information regarding changes to the MP aspect for PC gamers, but I’ll get into the details about the changes later. For now, lets just say it was enough to start a forum where 200,000+ PC gamers stated their intention to boycott the game. Needless to say, as an avid PC Gamer, I probably wouldn’t have thrown down 60 bucks for a game that disregards certain platforms if I hadn’t already pre-purchased it, but maybe I’m jumping to conclusions.

I’m not sure how but Microsoft has somehow pulled a fast one on me. I’m usually pretty quick on the uptake when it comes to new technologies even if I don’t have direct access to material, yet somehow Microsoft got this one past me; well played Gates, well played…

As you probably have already seen, Office 2010 is well underway and in “technical beta” primarily used for developers, and as you’ve also probably seen, its been leaked (coulda’ called that one). Well as soon as I found out about this I had to get a hands on view of 2010 myself. From what I have played with, these are some of the more notable features that caught my eye. Feel free to comment on anything I missed that deserves attention.
