[Browno]

Who needs a demo? We've seen what we've seen and looks great, and enjoyable, more excitement on the 10th of November:)

[Huleboeren]

k, not that I'd ever play with you but that's fine =)

Our paths will probably cross in COD some day - and when that day comes, I will stab you in the back (or throw knives at you or whatever the **** they have now)

Just like you dont give a **** about your team :)

We need hardcore deathmatch for you :)

lol yea he's pretty sad. almost want to toss him out a window.

[Sethos]

First of all, I decided to pre-order the Limited Edition MW2 360 - That thing was looking too hot to pass up :D That's my third 360 and none of them have ever broken. On another note, new trailer released this weekend;

[ObiWanToby]

Anyone getting this for their PC or PS3? 360 seems dominate.

when will ppl learn that fps games aren't meant for consoles...unfortunately game manufactures have crapped on pc's in recent years...development wise....they cite piracy as the biggest concern...too many rely on punkbuster for ant-hacking when they should be spending some dough on developing better countermeasures...we all know punkbuster is crap

When will people learn it's a subjective matter and not all of us are interested in that cheat-infested cesspool called online PC gaming. Playing FPS games with a controller is more than doable, when you actually learn how to use it you can compete with some PC gamers even. So that "Oh it belongs on the PC" is getting old and you need to move on, consoles have paved a road of great integration, fun and equality for all in a cheat free environment - That is above and beyond playing with a silly mouse and keyboard.

I'm picking it up for PC as I don't have a 360 or PS3.

The single player will be awesome on the PC, bumping all the graphics settings and what not, but the multiplayer component will be best played on a console.

LOL...

How do people even have fun playing an fps with a controller? I feel so limited. I also find it funny you say pc gaming has too many cheaters, I remember a few months ago some hack was on cod4 for the ps3 that let people fly around like superman. If you play on the right pc servers you will never see any cheaters.

Different stokes for different folks I guess...

Yeah and that's the only time. And IW have fixed that.

Playing multiplayer on PC using a mouse is way easier than using a pad with sticks. Heck, if you can't use a gamepad, and i can..that means i can use both effectively which means i am more skilled?

Console online gaming is the way of the future...give it up PC guys :p

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

Why do console owners and PC owners constantly argue about stupid **** like this anyway? (I'm not talking about having a preference, the silly weighted comments like "game x CANNOT be played on platform y/with controller z"). Of course it can, everyone playing on a console does so with a controller, everyone has to learn that process, no one has an advantage. Just like on the PC everyone* plays with a keyboard/mouse. The playing field is level on either platform, it's solely a matter of preference, there is no playing advantage to be had on either platform from picking a specific control input method.

Enjoy the game on the platform you want to play it on, how is someone else playing it on another platform somehow impacting your fun? It isn't :p

*Before anyone is smart, I know 3% of the PC generation might plug in a 360 controller and play with it on the PC for whatever reason.

Yay. Awesome. Though everything ive seen so far looks awesome. My only question is why they have soundtrack from transformers? By this time Zimmers original had to be finished i thought..

[ramsy66]

I've placed my pre-order for the PC version, even though I have a choice of getting it for PS3, 360 or PC. I made my choice because I prefer playing shooters with a mouse and keyboard, plus the online component has always been superior on the PC to any of the consoles.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

See my own custom made by me Avatar... I think it should definitely convey the fact that I feel KB+M Combo is the more accurate of the two, but saying an FPS cannot be played with a controller is pure and utter madness.

I can go on and on why they can be played with a controller, but I would say the most overwhelming proof is an entire generation of kids who has never even touched a keyboard and mouse, and all they know is a controller, and I can promise you they are just as efficient with the killing.

I do have to address this one thing you said Sethos as I truly disagree. Perhaps it is because I have not done so in awhile, and perhaps it is also because once the server we were playing on shut down me and my friends used to run our own Counter Strike Source server so we controlled it all, but even with games like UT2k4 and all of the Battlefields, COD's, etc. I rarely ever came across cheating when I played FPS's online on the PC.

If a game had Punk Buster, even though it was the most annoying software ever made by man, I always only searched for PunkBuster servers. I also mainly stuck to Official Servers whenever I had the chance to do so. Finally I would wind up finding some Cool Clan (that almost seems like an oxymoron as I barely ever used the words cool and clan together) and then stick to them. Most every game let you bookmark favorite servers, so sure, the first hour or two I got a game might have been spent searching servers, but once I found good ones, I bookmarked them, then never bothered with anything else. So that was my way to avoid cheaters / hackers on the PC.

You very well know it's based on nothing but luck, the games you play, the 'skill level' at which you play and all sorts of factors, so it's perhaps a bit narrow-minded to just slap a major disagreement in my face without actually seeing it from the other side of the fence properly.

I played Condition Zero for the longest time, starting out as your average pup trying to get a few kills but ended up dying most of the time. I played this game for years, slowly becoming better and better and when you play a game for that long, you see a thing or two. Back when I started the Danish community wasn't very big, we didn't really have a real CZ community at all and that forced Danish players to spend their times on foreign servers, mostly Swedish.

While many of them were properly managed, it was next to impossible to have administrators online 24/7 to keep an eye on the server, so 4-5 times a week, cheaters would pop by our bookmarked servers, the serves we have deemed "okay" and wreck havoc - That forces you to leave a perfectly good game and join another which is unacceptable! Plus these servers weren't all full, so playing during the morning and one of them might be full so once you're forced off that, you have to get find some random public server which is hell.

Few years later as I got better, I had to find more 'skill based' servers, servers where great players hung out so you could get some proper practice, THOSE servers had a MINIMUM of 3 cheaters a day because they want to show off - It's insanely hard to spot the difference between a skilled player and a cheater, so when you finally discover a cheater he has already ruined the scores and skewed the entire game and that is one of the worst things about playing on "higher levels", it's impossible for admins to spot 'em.

Same thing happened when we did actually get our own community, our own server and I got admin status - Now I have to 'waste' my time frantically recording demos of players, talking to other admins and getting the server opinion on certain players totally ruining my game.

The very first time I played Call of Duty 4 on the PC, the very first server I joined, some guy was apparently calling out targets through walls and objects so I believe he had some sort of Wallhack - Nice. Strategy games I've played against people with no Fog of War, some even told me after the match. Oh and even GPU manufactures chip in, like back when nVidia released a set of drivers that was basically a Counter-strike Wallhack ... Yes, the drivers!

I have so many examples of cheaters in pretty much every game I've played online, many of them caught or admitting them and many are based on experience with cheaters - Through my entire Online PC gaming "career" I have encounted cheaters at almost every corner some cases not as bad as others but still. It's unacceptable, it completely destroys a game and my eagerness to hop in an online game on the PC and no, having to server-jump and entire evening is not my idea of fun.

So to sum it up, it's impossible to avoid cheaters, especially if you are playing in a higher skilled environment or games where everything is speculation until the cheater is caught or admitting it, which happens quite rarely and no, most anti-cheater software is USELESS! Especially Punkbuster, it's a placebo effect that is able to catch a script or two while letting thousands of third party injectors and software through - One would be naive to think Punkbuster actually does its job or any sort of job for that matter.

Sorry that went on for a bit but cheating on the PC is one of my main gripes with the damn thing.

Sorry that went on for a bit but cheating on the PC is one of my main gripes with the damn thing.

Yeah perhaps "truly disagreed" was a strong way of putting it, as it is not like I was sitting here thinking to myself WTF is he talking about, I never meant to say I did not believe you, I just meant to convey the fact I had a completely different experience.

Did I never see cheating? Of course not, but it really was few and far between for me. So perhaps I was just incredibly lucky, perhaps it is more of a European thing (and I honestly do not know this, just speculating how I could see so little and you have seen so much), so all I can really say is if I had the same experiences that you did, I would very well hate it too.

I felt I was not being narrow minded at all is offering my side of the story and letting people who might be reading our exchange know there is indeed two sides to the story, and that it is not just a cesspool, but again I can see where you misunderstood it.

Like I said maybe I was just incredibly lucky, maybe I never realized it or saw it enough to care, but 85% of my online MP experience on the PC was positive, and most of the 15% that was not was performance related as I was obsessed with getting as many frames per second as possible.
