Well I finally bit the bullet and bought Modern Warfare 2 since Splinter Cell Conviction got delayed a couple of months and the price finally went down $10. Now a question. When I played COD4:MW I could create multiple player profiles so that my Dad and I each had our own games with our own progress. I did not see how to do that in my look around the game menu. How do you do that in MW2.

Secondly when I installed the game it installed to my Steam folder via the Steam setup page not to the Activision folder via the games own install screen as COD4:MW did. Is this normal?

You can't have more than one profile active in MW2 I'm afraid. It was one of the first things I tried to do as my son plays it too but it cannot be done.

And it relies on Steam for the install hence why it appears in your games list and not in the normal Program Files/Activision etc.

Basically it's a pain in the backside.
