MW2: No Dedicated Servers, No Mods

[Ricardo Gil]

Wow richard, are you being cereal here? PC gamers are treated like pirates before they even purchase said material.

Videos, reviews, pictures, and user opinions are all good, but in THIS real world, most of that is all bought out by producers for good reviews and FMV videos that don't showcase anything about the actual game. Once a PC buys it, he can not return it. Doesn't matter if the game is bugged to hell, no money back. Doesn't matter if his computer beats the rec reqs and it still doesn't run, no money back.

Since they refuse to treat us like customers, why should we show them the time of day as a business? And hell, it seems ok for any business to try and nickle and dime its customers to death, but when a customer speaks up or tries to show the business one up, its the little man who's wrong..... what a messed up society we have built upon.

LOL @ cereal

Look, you can see the game for yourself without buying it. Every popular game out there has hundreds of hours of true gameplay video on Youtube alone. No tricks, just direct game feeds. Also lots of stores have the game available to play in demo stations, there's no excuse to pirate it just because you didn't get a demo to play.

And now we're off topic! :beer:

Please, go read up on what P2P means.

It's just a concept, not a protocol per se. You can use whatever free port you want.

You're on the Internet, are you not? Videos, pictures, reviews, user opinion. I'd say that's enough.

Still not even close to actually playing the game.

I'd love for a game to come along and to offer the console crowd an option of dedicated servers. Let them see what they have been missing the entire time. Until then, I don't think most will understand the reasons the PC crowd is so upset.

I play on both and don't see a difference. In fact I have more lag problems playing BF2 and L4D becuase of lag. O your ping is to high *kick off server* hmm never have that problem on console. In fact never really have a ping problem on consoles. On a dedicated server I have seen one bad person bring down the whole game in L4D tell me hows thats better then P2P.

I think people are saying they will pirate it because they don't want to support Activision/IW for making this decision. Not because there isn't a demo. I'm not saying I agree with it...but I understand.

Indeed. It should be pirated as much as possible to send a message.

So you want them to stop making games for PC altogether? Good for you.. I do not.

MW2 is now available for pre-order on Steam.

I don't give a damn any more. If this is the way they treat us, then good riddance.

I'd rather they don't release the same limited crap on PC again, rather than release it and make money. Any money.

?35? Haha. Forza 3 in our store costs ?37!

I can understand why people are annoyed at the lack of dedicated server support. And I am all for signing petitions and getting it included. But I am confused as to why people need to act so stubborn and militant about it. If you really don't want a game without dedicated servers, don't buy it. But I don't see why you'd want them to not release it all on PC, or not make money off it. I'll still be getting this for PC, and, I am almost certain, I'll still enjoy the hell out of it.

Some of you are acting as if someone just walked into your back garden and took a dump.

Talking about COD4 PC, look at how priorities have changed :p

[ylcard]

It's your own fault for accepting this kind of crap from companies, some people don't take too kindly to this, hence all the tantrum.

Petitions do jack ****, as long as there's people like you that like the faulty game they'll keep on doing whatever they're doing.

Once they see a drastic drop in sales they'll (hopefully) get an idea of what happened, and make things better next time.

Most people play FPS games for the MP part, I don't but my friends do, and they wouldn't even think about buying CoD for it's SP campaign.

Once you take MP out there's nothing left but a very expensive box, I hope you'll enjoy the hell out of a pretty box.

Hey, if you like being raped from behind with a huge corporate dildo, that's your problem. I never said I don't want them to release on PC, I said I don't give a damn. I will no longer purchase any Activision crap. I said I wanted people to pirate the game to make all the corporate morons blow a blood vessel. If this leads to no more PC versions, who the **** gives a ****. :sleep:

[LOC Veteran]

LOL PC's will only have 16 players for MP. LOLOLOLOL!

Exactly! Why would pc gamers buy mw2 when it is inferior to the first in almost every way? Activision can go to hell, besides bad company 2 comes out in a few months, and that WILL have dedicated servers. Thanks for ruining a perfectly good game for NO REASON! There is seriously not 1 advantage to this...

[Xilo]

AND it's 60$ to boot. They don't even care about the PC it's probably just a straight crappy port.

Whoever buys this game is seriously an idiot. These companies need to be shown people won't tolerate this bull****.

Is that 100% confirmed now? I've seen a few people say it with no source.

If so I'm laughing my ass off.

OK here's the thing. A IW dev said this himself that certain playlists would be 12-16 players. Now on other forums, they've mentioned 18 players as the cap on PC. I'm pretty sure it's 16 max though. Not 100% confirmed however.

Even 18 is BS.

[s1k3sT]

On COD4 you can have 50 player matches, now the limits going to be 16?!?!?!! WTF were they thinking?

[Chasethebase Veteran]

Personally I hated the 50 player matches, they just turned into a spawnkill fest. I prefer smaller games, but 24 would have been nice.

But regardless, I'm still going to get the game. Why is this, because all in all I'm not too fussed about the dedicated server issue. Yes it does strike mods down, but if I want to play mods I have Counter-Strike: Source. If I want to play community based server games, I play TF2. If I want a fun FPS that's really realistic and great fun, I play MW2.

Problem solved :)

Uhhh really realistic, lol, no.

MW2 will be even more arcadey an FPS than MW :p

[Spookie]

Funny thing is this thought only struck me today, though I remember the quote from ages ago.

Bobby wants to turn CoD in to a MMO so they can charge you ?8.99 a month. I wonder if IWnet is the first baby steps towards it. If so. Arf.
