MW2: No Dedicated Servers, No Mods

[Spookie]

Beginning to wonder if they are simply trying to bury the PC version of the game and opt for a completely console shooter in future.

I think the same thing...

[Leo Natan]

Haha, want to hear what the retards that were fine with no dedicated servers and mods have to say now. :laugh:

[Minifig]

Will you buy COD MW2 for PC?

Let this be your guide:

[Brad.]

Aha, seriously, get over it. It's worked on consoles and everyone will be getting the same content for the same price (if not cheaper on the PC). I know the PC version is missing a lot of features that were in previous games, but seriously.

[Richard Hammond]

Why should we just 'get over it' they are giving us a game that has all the online features cut out and a game which is shorter than CoD4 but which costs more???

Sick of getting ****ty console ports.

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.

nor the option to kick players out of ranked matches

lolwut?

There goes the weak ass defence the console tards threw at the PC owners of "you don't need admins/mods, votekick is betterz!!1111".

Now you get stuck playing with the constant stream of matchmaking tards.

Since we can not kick people in ranked matches, how will we stop hackers who get past VAC?

Mackey-IW: Our goal is to ban hackers from the game.

Note to Infinity Ward, VAC might be good but there's always a stream of VAC proof hacks, so this new anti-hacking method is fail, it's worse off than any of the Half Life games/mods.

You said IWnet was created to help stop piracy, what do you say about the Xbox 360 version leaked and shared on torrent sites?

Vince-IW: IWnet was designed to make the MP experience on PC easier and more balanced.

:laugh: :rofl:

That's a polite way to treat people with different priorities than yours.

Did you even read the chart there? Most of the good features that CoD4 had have now been removed, this means that essentially we're getting a console port except with "Graphics Options, Text Chat and Mouse and Keyboard Functionality" as quoted from that interview.

I was alright with the no ded severs business, but this is getting ridiculous. I think I've decided to save my money now, for certain. I'll just play it with those who do decide to buy it for console.

Is there a gun pointed at your head? If this game is so ****ty then get another one, there's a lot to choose from.

Ricardo's right guyz, calm down

Ignoring IW.net, is the PC version a direct port of the console version?

Mackey-IW: No, PC has custom stuff like mouse control, text chat in game, and graphics settings.

OMG @ THOSE FEATURES.

MOUSE, KEYBOARD AND GRAPHICS CONTROL ON A PC? THIS IS 2009.

[Brad.]

Did you even read the chart there?

Yes, I did. Hence me saying ''sure theres a lot of features missing''.

[Emil Valsson]

I've bought every CoD there is for the PC, I dont play them on consoles even though I have both PS3 and 360. If this is the road Activision is going to take for the PC, MW2 is the last copy I will buy.

[Chasethebase Veteran]

Also, don't watch the Launch trailer if you don't want to see spoilers.

Also. FYI This is a spoiler too. Space Station wheeee

So people shouldn't be ****ed/complain about this ?

I don't get people that complain about people that complain ! Do they make you uncomfortable ? Let them whine, they obviously LIKE the game and the company that makes it are ****ing them over, so they have the right to complain.

[Chasethebase Veteran]

You see, I'm torn whether or not to buy it, one side is saying 'It'll be fun, it's a great game on the inside" while the other side is saying "Don't buy it, have you seen how broken the PC version is?"

Gah.

Also, interesting comment on Kotaku:

Everybody's ragging on IW, when somehow I get the feeling they didn't have much to do with the recent retarded design decisions. Look at Blizzard cutting LAN from Starcraft 2 and releasing it over three disks. Look at them not even getting to it until AFTER whoring the **** out of World of Warcraft. Look at Guitar Hero being completely played out and beyond, spun off into Band Hero and DJ Hero (which, to be fair, I've heard good things about).

Who owns all of these companies/properties? Activision. I would wager that if we were able to talk to the developers without the big A over their shoulders, they'd be singing a different tune.

Hell, they're making Microsoft look like saints on the internet, and that takes some doing.

Activision owns Blizzard ? Wow, that one needs some recent history lesson...

I guess this mistake of his makes his comment pretty much useless.

True, Vivendi (and hence Blizzard) acquired Activision but Kotick was an Activision man and he's in charge of Activision Blizzard.

One slight error/inaccuracy on that - LAN play - whilst it will be possible to play over a LAN, you still need an internet connection to get to the IW.net servers in the first place, so there's no offline LAN play.

seriously, im waiting for someone to hack the pc version and find a way to mod the game... it's gonna go against stuff like steam and VAC, but if it means mods for MW2, it sounds like its worth it...

Uhhh they'll ban your cd-key through steam which means you can't play, so no, won't be worth it.

[shakey]

Hey, on a happy note, Im getting l4d2 free :p screw this game :p

[EcPercy]

Why all the fuss?

People into online gaming must have at least 512Kb/s upload rates. That's more than enough to host a match.

It's not like everyone's still using dial up :p

Well those of us in areas where bandwidth sucks (I am currently in Iraq) are not able to just jump online and play a game like this. Our internet speeds out here top out at 256kb, but you are talking about $190 a month for that speed....

We play COD:4 MW, but obviously we run our own local dedicated server. None of us plan to get MW:2.

[Dashel]

...No sale
