Well since there is no tutorial on here about making your own loading screen for MW2 might as well make one.. this is for making Custom Maps haven't tried on replacing the original .iwi loading screen's for the original maps.
This tutorial is using Photoshop..

4) Save As
5) Open the Drop Down window selection:
6) Press Save
7) A pop-up menu should appear change all settings to this setup:
8) Now press Save and the .dds should be created on your Desktop.
9) Download dds2iwi.exe from the Attachment below
10) Drag the .dds file over dds2iwi.exe and Open with it.

11) Wait for a brief moment
12) The converted .iwi will be saved where ever you "launched" the dds2iwi.exe from.
To test if it's correct
13) Download IWI_X_DDS
14) Drag and drop the converted .iwi into the White area.

15) Double click on the File Name of the .iwi and a preview picture will pop up.

does this work for other people joining a server, or just for changing the map images for one's own maps when they load?

If you set as a mod a.k.a. .iwd and not call it z_svr_blah it will make the client download the .iwd so yes they will get it..
Also I'll try to figure out a way to replace the loadingscreen for the normal maps. There's a way and I will find it.

Failed attempts x5... gonna ask some "higher" friends, about this.

This is for just for everyone IT IS possible to replace the current loadscreens for maps. But you would need to do some crazy shit that I can't get into as I'm bound by the law.
