Bless you CoDders, this could be a purchase yet. Are there any pianos...?

I think I called that on TS a few days after the announcement.

Will look into it (with sensible settings)

I bet people who use this will get VAC banned pretty quickly.

I think I also spied a console in that video as well. Brilliant :D

Yep, looks like it injects stuff to get the console to work, but is possibly settable after that

Won't you get banned from steam though just playing COD single player?

Tested on:
-----------
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer v1.0
Microsoft(R) Windows Fista Ultimate x64 SP2

Description:
------------
Tired of Infinity Ward locking down the PC version of MW2? No problem!
This program will allow you to bring back the globally loved
developer console in the game! Plus, it will unlock important cvars like
cg_fov to change the field-of-view at the same time!

I hope with the release of this program, Infinity Ward will un-neuter
Modern Warfare 2 officially.

NOTE: By using this program, you agree that any consequences of usage
shall not be imposed on the programmer (AgentGOD). Use at your
own will and risk! I, the programmer, will NOT be held responsible
in the event that you are banned by VAC.

With that in mind, the program should NOT trigger a VAC-ban, but I cannot
make any guarantees.

Usage:
------
Run LoaderX.exe.
Click Auto-Inject.
Launch Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Single/Multiplayer.
Enjoy the tilde (~) key in its full glory.

Enjoy.

Obviously, I wouldn't use this with a legit copy, or for MP.

Should probably be fine for offline stuff, as it won't be using VAC, but once vac gets involved, you're probably stuffed.

I'm going to try it with a

edition, so there's no way I can get VAC'd.

Surely if you sweep COD 4 2, you'll get banned on Steam, as it requires steam running to play.

I know it might not be completely relevant but I wondered if you modded COD 4 2, would you be banned as well?

Tell that to my copy of cod6, it didn't get the memo

haha the video is great, in fact it's pulled MW2 out of the abyss it was in as far as I was concerned and settled it down in "might actually sweep it... maybe" territory

Unreal Tournament?

Pnut · Post by **Pnut** » November 17th, 2009, 1:14

Is there anyway of fixin this so we like it and IW take notice?

Post by **Dr. kitteny berk** » November 17th, 2009, 1:43

Possibly, but not yet.

and unlikely, they'll probably just patch it out ever more.
