IW = open mouth insert foot.

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 ****"

Where? I didn't see that. :/

lol best review quote

I firmly believe that for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 that our console review is spot on the money. It is a 95% game for those platforms, it's a great contender for Game of the Year and it'll probably sell better than Tamiflu.
Yeah, but the PC version is full of all kinds of exclusive features such as mouse control, in-game chat, and graphics settings!

In-game chat is hardly a PC exclusive feature.

And I for one am for the position IW is taking on this. I abandoned PC gaming in part because of the state of dedicated servers.

They deserved it tbh, if they arent gonna be competitive on PC and make stupid statements then its gonna happen.

They ****ed off alot of the PC Base with their more or less straight up console port.

Dont agree with what the hackers are doing but well I didnt agree with IW either

Certainly would've saved them a lot of negative PR. Or would it? /shrug

Yeah but the problem is, we are STILL talking about it, and still complaining, and 90% of us who were going to buy it on PC are STILL buying it, but just buying it for console.. LMAO..

more like, hey gais if you use IWNET we can make you pay for maps/content now cause you cant make custom ones anymore!!11

pc is way to much of an open platform for these companys to play with now they wanna nickel and dime you at every cornerwhich on the pc is nigh imposible unless you control the platform on which the game is running

To be honest i did think about not buying this for PC (don't own a console) but i decided that i would and it is actually not as bad as people make out. Sure it would be better with dedicated servers but it is more than worth the money so i wish people would stop moaning about it. I do hope that they add them back in in a patch but i doubt it, and the hosted servers work fine most of the time. I haven't really had any problems that i would say are 100% down to the servers not being dedi's. More often than not its my connection.

Not saying that they should've done it like this but it really isn't that bad.

Going past Valve Anti-Cheat is a good way to get your Steam account revoked, though. At least, I was under that impression.

The only problem with that is that hackers don't use legit Steam accounts anyways. I've seen tutorials how to get hacked Steam accounts as well.

Hacking on PC is pathetic. That's what's killing the multiplayer and developers just don't want to invest resources anymore to fight it properly. If you want to be mad at someone be mad at a new generation of whiny kids who don't have the nerves or home education about actually working and learning things but want everything right now.

I don't care about PC gaming. If they completely stop making games for it, I'm fine with it. Playing on game consoles is a pleasure unlike what I go through when I play on PC. Sure, there are limitations but one trade off for another. And if that means I can do 12 or 18 player matches vs 32 or even 80 on PC but without hacking. I'll take it!

Hacking on PC is not nearly as bad as people claim it is. Is it a problem? Of course it is, but that doesn't mean the experience is 100% lousy. Also, IIRC, Halo 2 was nearly unplayable because of hackers, and that was on console. People have currently found hacks for MW2 on the 360 by modding controllers: http://www.evilcontrollers.com/?ref=cj

As console gaming becomes more popular, more people will find ways to exploit it.

Hacking is a very convenient excuse for devs to say they wish to flee PC gaming, however it's quite a disingenuous one at best. Console games offer more profit potential - especially with regards to maps and other pay-per-download content. Such content would be useless on a server browser system, since there is no incentive to purchase new content. However, with matchmaking, all they need to do to garner sales is require the map packs for popular playlists. All of sudden, money starts pouring in. PC gamers detest matchmaking and are true to their dedicated servers. Thus, the "death of PC gaming" is beneficial in the long run for developers, since the more console players, the more suckers people can be sold additional content.

Between being matched with lousy players, matched in lag fest games, matched in gametypes and maps I detest, matchmaking has been an absolute headache for me. I've actually moved from console to PC because of matchmaking. It is such a dumbed down experience for me IMO. I hope Bad Company 2 mops the floor with MW2!

So hacking is the new scapegoat now, eh? :rolleyes: Fist it was piracy, now hacking... Wonder what will be next. Let me guess: mouse and keyboard are not accessible for dumbos, requiring actual skill of hitting someone instead of using an aimbot (err, aim assist :rolleyes: ). The solution:

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.

    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
