Mod loading:
"unless they didn't change the Quake protocol number (or the minimum build used for IWNet matchmaking, both would allow bypasses), yes, this matches the later TUs on consoles which have all previous '.gsc' things used for mods precompiled in the main EXE (or console equivalent) so they'd need extensive work to recreate mods, which I doubt anyone'd do for MW2 on PC.
(and yes, I know this as I've worked extensively with MW2 from 2010 to 2013 - I was the main developer on alterIWnet/fourDeltaOne, FYI)"
