IW = open mouth insert foot.

[JetFixxxer]

Here is a quote from IW on why they don't have dedicated server

"Cheat / Hack Free Games: The biggest benefit of using IWnet by far is the fact that you don't have to worry about joining a server full of aim-bots, wallhacks, or cheaters. Or relying on the server admin of the server to constantly be monitoring, banning, and policing it. Modern Warfare 2 on PC allows us to control the quality of the game much more than ever before as well as utilizing the VAC (Valve-Anti-Cheat) system to keep games clean of hackers and cheaters."

Here's in game video

And less than 1 day of release a wallhack has been released.

GG.

[BGM]

what? :o

[LOC Veteran]

Yeah, IW = owned.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

So much for VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat). :/

[Starcom826]

Not really. They probably knew it was going to happen. They just said it to make all the PC gamers think there was a reason for IWnet other than them controlling everything and anti-piracy.

[LOC Veteran]

So much for the game not being modded.

LOL!

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

crap like this is why i mainly stopped playing PC games other then MMO's/Strats, rest is Pure console

[LightIdea]

Somebody should develop a game for cheaters by cheaters.

They did, it's called Counter-Strike lol

[boogerjones]

Yeah, but the PC version is full of all kinds of exclusive features such as mouse control, in-game chat, and graphics settings!

[Tech Star]

:laugh:

Looks like without PB it's going to be easier for cheaters to play.

[LOC Veteran]

Yeah, but the PC version is full of all kinds of exclusive features such as mouse control, in-game chat, and graphics settings!

And once you get past the 5+ minute opening segment a INI you can configure!

[WastedJoker]

All this does is confirm that IW will probably skip a PC version altogether next time :/

Pc hackers are contributing quite a bit to PC gaming decline, imo.

[Olemus]

The problem with VAC is it does delayed bannings (think microsoft banning 360's) so those with hacks get away with it for a week or two and then VAC comes in and does a big ban wave. They say they do it so that hackers dont know which program is actually causing bans.

This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Activision Games Inc.

Good to see they're following up on this issue!

[shakey]

following up by trying to probably keep it hush hush so we can't rag on them even harder.

Hacking is a cross platform issue. Not just PC.

Here's a new link for the video http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/27045

[SMELTN]

LMAO thats awesome. I HATE hackers in games, but I sure do like seeing that, considering IW ****ed me off so much with the PC version.

[LOC Veteran]

Did you see the comment in the video though?

It was something like (sorry I saw the video hours ago) "Crap man that guys hacking, someone get an admin...oh wait, ok someone start a kickvote please....oh ****"

[svnO.o]

Yeah this is exactly what I knew would happen. No dedicated servers (which means no mods and no admins) + no vote kicking + VAC = hacker hell. I actually hope hacking becomes rampant on MW2 because IW deserves it.

[toadeater]

MW2 = most overhyped game of 2009. It truly is the new Halo, if you know what I mean. :p

Stupid console gamers... you've damned us all! :D

No, really, I am not too happy about the consoles. How can you be in favor of 9v9 multiplayer when you could have had 32v32!? Only a console gamer would willingly accept something like that.

I am going to go play Dragon Age now. **** Infinity Ward.

[shakey]

couldn't care less if they stopped making games for PC. Would rather have good developers making our games instead of crap like this.
