MW2: No Dedicated Servers, No Mods

[Xilo]

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.

Bobby needs to get his head out of his ass and get a reality check.

There's over 140,000 people that have signed the petition to cancel preorders or not buy it out right. That's over $8 million right there.

Hopefully they lose enough sales to realize that people won't stand for this crap.

I think they did 3 Bil last year. I'm sure they could give less of a toss about 8 mil.

Anyone who supports host advantage should be shot in the face

^agree :)

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

<snipped>

Wow. That video is sad to watch actually. Real sad. It just reinforces everything that they are now going against.

I hardly no any ISP here in the UK that offers decent upload rates. im on a 2.5mb line and have an upload rate between 200-300, unless your on cable or close to the exchange if ur on adsl you get shocking upload rates and i reckon thats gona be the same for a lot of ppl

i live in the uk and i get 2.5meg up

[Richard Hammond]

Good for you, not everyone lives close enough to their exchange to get that sort of upload from ADSL2+.

Even 50Mb Virgin only has 1.5Mb upload.

Uhhh really realistic, lol, no.

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

I mean in comparison to TF2 and CS:S :lol:

[Cyplex]

+1 that has canceled their pre-order

[ramsy66]

I cancelled my PC pre-order to a 360 pre-order. :p

[John Freeman]

I mean in comparison to TF2 and CS:S :lol:

Whats wrong with TF2 in terms of how realistic it is? :laugh: :laugh:

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

I could live without user-created mods, but lack of dedicated servers? Seriously? :/

[dead.cell]

I mean in comparison to TF2 and CS:S :lol:

I take it you mean graphically.

In CS:S, you're squishy as a person in real life for the most part. You don't get shot the hell up, settle down for a second, and everything's just good and dandy again, only to take more gunshot wounds, grenade blasts, etc. At some point, you've got to be riddled with holes suffering from massive blood loss, missing pieces of your body, black and burned, deaf, and blind...

Anyone who supports host advantage should be shot in the face by the host so that he has no chance of beating the host's reaction time

Fixed. :laugh:

Sadly, the loss of PC sales won't make a dent. They'll cover the losses in the first few hours of a new DLC release on the consoles.

Most of me wishes they would just pull the PC release and stop dicking everyone around. A small part of me is curious about IW.Net, but my curiousity is having trouble rationalizing the $60 beta test entry fee at the moment.

Been reading PA have we?

... you'd get the impression that PC gamers still think they are the focus of the industry, when that hasn't been true for awhile. Indeed, hardcore gamers in general - and the dedicated PC enthusiast, which is a subset - haven't been the object of their desire for some time. I was under the impression this was well known, but it does require a willingness to perceive factual information, which is not a universal trait among cultists. Maybe if you had just put out, instead of becoming a signatories to a vow of consumer chastity, the old twinkle might return to his eye.

I see his point and more than ever does it look like they are trying to turn us in to console gamers. Gone are the days when map packs and updates use to be free (Vanilla UT :)). All hail IW for finally ****ing PC gamers last unique benefit. Bring on the ?5 map packs and every publisher following suit.

It's funny really, we buggered console owners with Digital Delivery so now you have to pre order from a retailer to get the full game. I guess they get the last laugh though.

Quick bump. Invisible Walls did a piece on this y'day. With Marcus nerd raging at Activision and calling them a "bunch of *****". Later on his own videocast he ripped in to them further.

Well worth watching for the lal factor. :D

What a waste of bandwidth... let's see what people say once the game comes out and kicks ass.

Fixed.

How mature.

[zeke009]

Anyone seen this letter yet? It was reprinted from the IW forums, pretty decent read.

Spookie: I do read PA. But I think I posted that before their rant/shot/whatever that was. I can't see their site from work anymore, the "no fun on your lunch break police" blocked it and many others recently.

[shakey]

lol at a pc holding 18 players with a good connection to them all!!!

They've taken Lean out of the PC version, as well as the console, and the ability to change your Field of View.

Infinity Ward has ****ed this game for PC.

[nvme]

i predict their next announcement will be that you cant use mouse and keyboard anymore.. because it's not balanced for that obviously.
