EcPercy Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Wow.. that's seriously ****ed up.. 190 $ for that.. Yea it's messed up, but what can you do? If you want internet access.. you have to pay. Obviously they have cheaper plans, but if you want to use VOIP or anything like that for calling home you will have to get one of the faster packages. Pretty much every service they have out here is a rip off. They are just taking advantage of the people that have to live and work here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maash Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 no one cares about PC gaming anymore. PC game sales were in the hundreds of thousands and consoles were in multi million digits. its a cost cutting venture. its already selling more than COD2 and 3 combined which is further proof consoles are where this game is sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vice Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I dunno if any of you already saw this article at Arstechnica Link But there was an interview held with InfinityWard about the PC Game version and there has been some new things learned. Just to go through what we know now and what we learned from this interview --- What we already knew --- 1. No Dedicated Servers 2. No custom Maps 3. No Mods --- What we know now --- 4. Person who is hosting the match is picked at random. If they leave the game, the game pauses for 5 seconds while another user in the game is chosen to host. 5. No console in the game, you cannot customise the game in any way 6. No leaning like in the original COD4:Modern Warfare 7. You cannot record matches. /record = Does nothing 8. No way to Kick or Ban cheaters/hackers 9. Maps are confined to 18 Players maximum aka 9 vs 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOC Veteran Posted November 6, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 6, 2009 no one cares about PC gaming anymore. PC game sales were in the hundreds of thousands and consoles were in multi million digits. its a cost cutting venture. its already selling more than COD2 and 3 combined which is further proof consoles are where this game is sold So, you are telling me a greedy Activision would rather alienate PC gamers and totally lose out on ~500,000 sales at $60 a pop? Somehow, I doubt that very much. It may not be the 10+ million it sells on consoles, but at 500,000 sales on PC let's say, that's STILL $30 million smackaroos they just tossed out the window. Whether the PC is a dying gaming platform or not, that is a MORONIC thing to do as a biz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.KICK Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Whoever came up with this idea needs to be fired! P2P on the PC is crazy. It better have a damn good netcode like XBL/PSN has in order to support P2P efficiently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOC Veteran Posted November 6, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 6, 2009 I could careless if the game has the best netcode ever created. I could careless if the host doesn't have a zero ping advantage or not. The fact is, the PC version is so gimped it's a joke. I thought Resident Evil 4 without mouse support was horrible. I thought things couldn't get much worse than a PC version of a game NOT supporting a mouse. But IW and MW2 take the cake now. You can't even kick/ban people who are trouble makers or hacking from a server! What the hell kind of CRACK were they smoking over at IW this time? I seriously, seriously hope Treyarch when they make COD6/7 (whatever) or WaW2 (whatever) don't go this route also. God damn IW really ****es me off to no end right now. I'm seriously considering uninstalling COD2 and COD4 and trading in my copies of COD2 and 4 for 360 and never ever supporting them again unless they fix this situation somehow. Idiots.

I play PC games for crazy amounts of people line, which is why COD4, WOW, etc are so popular. People don't play it for the game so much as being with alot of other people, you take that away and you kill it all. IW/Activision, got a little to full of themselves with this release.

BlackSteyrAug Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Infinity Ward went off the deep end. Treyarch could make a better game than Cod6, and they're awful. Activison Blizzard is ****ing us over with this, and no LAN for SC2. At least Valve fixed Left 4 Dead 2 and made it actually worth buying. Infinity Ward has no intention to change anything.

LingeringSoul Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Haha, that feature comparison chart is great, LOC. More money for less features? Count me in! EDIT: I just had to take this opportunity to share these great photos I found on Ars (originally from Evil Avatar if I read properly): And the second one is too big to post: http://static.arstechnica.com/drawing2.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldiers33 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 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 not if you have 5 or more players, it starts to get laggy. not that I was buying this game anyway. Got bored of cod, cod2 was the best would still play it if there were a lot of players on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
