Mind you the Petition list has now surpassed 100,000 signatures

I wonder out of the 100k, how many are actually going to BUY the game and not PIRATE it?

That is up to IW cause the ball is in their court now. Are they going to compromise or not.

Well W1nTry, I for one have tried both. Remember what my rank is on the console version of COD4? Its 8. Do you know WHY
that is? I'll tell you. Almost every time I tried to play this game online, I would either get disconnected from the host in-game,
or I would get the dreaded 'could not connect to host' message. That frustrated me TO NO END. It seems I would spend more time
trying to connect than actually playing. Don't get me wrong, this is not indicative of XBL in general, but this was my experience for COD4.

I have tried this 'distributed model' (so I have grounds to complain), and it has been found wanting.

I ended up buying the PC version afterward (yes, I purchased the Xbox 360 version first).

Funny how I never really had to deal with that particular problem on the PC version.

As I said, though, I'll wait and see. I'll give it a fighting chance to impress me.

Ah yes you had a negative experience indeed. I wonder if the majority of people using this distributed model experience such issues? I've had meh fair sure of connection issues on both pc and console lol.

Well as Arcman experienced I do get those problems less than 5% of the time.
But to be fair when World at War came out, alot of the cod4 ps3 community left, and with that movement, alot of the good connection players were gone. So playing cod4 post codwaw resulted in maybe a 30% increase in problems. But now since MW2 on the horizon, people are back on cod4 and issues back down to 5%.

W1nTry · « **Reply #306 on:** October 20, 2009, 02:07:39 PM »

I would put my problem at around 15% but then I acknowledge that MY connection is CRAP, so I would have the problem be it PC or Console. Noone likes a 300+ ms ping to ALL US servers. But then anytime i've had a bad experience on a particular game, I just switch it for something else.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #307 on:** October 20, 2009, 02:17:53 PM »

WOW...that article friendly_sniper posted is proof that IW done lost dey got-damn minds.

"We thought maybe it would be cool if the fans could play the game,"

What a crock of S#!T!!!

So who's BEEN playing all this time Mr. West?

Reaper2051 · « **Reply #308 on:** October 20, 2009, 02:28:22 PM »

"He points toward the mounting feedback IW has received from PC fans of Modern Warfare who couldn't find a decent server to play on between all of the cheaters, the insular communities, and huge skill level disparities that the original game's community fractured into."

Cheaters is the reason why these as you say "Insular Communities" Moderate their own servers when Punkbuster doesn't.

I didn't know run and gun and grenade spam requires skill.

"Clans can set up private matches to do their training or what have you; all they lose is the ability to customize the game on a deeper level with mods and such."

I am sorry but I strongly disagree with this. If it wasn't for mods there wouldn't be Paintball mods or Freeze Tag or the Pro-mods that raise the competitiveness in the Call of Duty series. And the maps my god have you seen such devotion to custom maps made for Call of Duty 4? Its Fantastic!! Keeping out the mods then you will still have many complaints of weapons being over-powered and need nerfing.

Mods are made to balance weapons, make new gameplay maps and last but not least finally bring some games justice where others have failed like this:

Well, lookee here...FourZeroTwo responds...

Essentially a 'sugar-coated' rehash of the Oct 17th podcast. Really light on the hardcore technical details that matter to PC gamers though.

Nice try 402, but not its not nearly enough

Reaper2051 · « **Reply #311 on:** October 20, 2009, 04:09:07 PM »

haha check these 2 mods out for COD4:

Call of Duty 4 Nuclear Explosion using eXtreme+
NUKE IYMC!!!

X4 Production
Now we know WHO and WHERE they got the idea for the AC130 for MW2 eh? EH!? EH!?

Mods rule

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #312 on:** October 20, 2009, 06:02:55 PM »

Epic failure with that "explanation". I cant believe people who spent all that money on their pc have to settle for a console experience. That is so SUPERBLY INCREDIBLY OUTRAGEOUSLY IDIOTIC to the Nth degree.

As one commenter said, I hope all 12 people on IWnet enjoy playing.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #313 on:** October 22, 2009, 11:00:36 AM »

HA!!! That's really rather hilarious.

Talk about rubbing salt in it. Is like they almost begging you to buy it.
I don't think Ii EVER got an email like that, and I get a LOT of gaming-oriented emails.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #314 on:** October 22, 2009, 11:50:10 AM »

well I got an email for either US$50 or $100 off my xbox 360 purchase. (that reminds me, need to fill that coupon out) but this does seem a bit strange for such a hot title.

Not exactly bargain bin material that requires incentive.

Maybe all that nerd rage shook them up after all.

$100 off xbox 360 purchase you say?

but yet the consolist would have us be quiet and take our reaming in peace

I never miss an opportunity to blast IW for this blasphemy. Put back dedicated servers and mods NOW or forever be known as a TRAITOR.

W1nTry · « **Reply #318 on:** October 22, 2009, 05:36:25 PM »

After reading what Laertes got in email, I really don't think that's a plug to sell the game per say. It is the most anticipated titles for the remainder of the year, it's more of a selling point of the 360 or PS3 really. Cause it's titles that in some cases drive ppl to buy a console to begin with. Agokilla is buying a PS3 JUST to play uncharted and 2 other titles... oh and btw it plays Blue Ray. MW2 is a titles that ppl would buy a 360 just to play esp as they added in all those 'perks'.

rb · « **Reply #319 on:** October 22, 2009, 05:40:49 PM »

Please..you really think that some people bitching about the PC version would cause them to discount all versions ?

They did this to match Walmart who was giving away $15 gift cards for buying the game @ Walmart. Amazon did it to make more monies and say hymc to Walmart. They not begging anyone to buy anything.
