Default Modern Warfare 3 not compatible?!!

I tried downloading from the market and when I launch it, it says, this is not compatible with your device, please request a refund.

that sucks, I like that game. Has anyone been able to load it?

Nope, Gameloft needs to update it for our GNotes. That is the number 1 game I can't wait to play on this thing, hopefully soon we'll see an update....although not holding breath.

Sucks. I guess we're both waiting then.

I've found that quite a few games are failing on the Note. Apparently the Note is being reported to the app as being a Tablet, and so they're throwing that incompatible notice... which sucks obviously.

Android Developers, need an OTA for your ROM? OTA-Admin.com

Samsung Galaxy Note (AT&T) * who knows, it's a different ROM every other day *
Samsung Infuse * Unofficial CM10 JellyBean *
Samsung Captivate * The Family Mosaic IX *

Yes, the main games that I'm interested in aren't compatible just yet. Thankfully my scrabble games are to keep me preoccupied for the moment

you could root the phone and change the build.prop file to reflect the Note as like an HTC Vision or something, then everything should work.

From what I've read I was of the understanding that it would be a low resolution version in comparison to our Notes, is that not correct?

I doubt it, I did this on my gTab and it stretched it out just fine, I think it adapts.

Just try it and see

Will give it shot then, thanks. I'm rooted but haven't messed with anything like that yet, I'll post my results.

Edit - I've changed the build.prop but it must be incorrect in some way. After a reboot, I can see Modern Combat 3 and Real Racing 2 in the Market. I've downloaded them both but neither work. For MC3 I get "This game is not compatible with this device" message and for RR2 it won't even load.

I believe some may be checking the screen resolution on startup, and would then still fail regardless of a build.prop change.
