Ah yes...the 'saga' continues...

Seems like this game more sour than the grapes yes.

Arc, its sour because hackers keep making it sour....plain and simple, hackers spoil the game for everyone. IW is not to blame for hackers actions, they can only try to clean up after them.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #1182 on:** December 20, 2009, 01:26:11 PM »

lol, they just over-reacting man

Starcraft was being patched up to 10 years after its release. Ain't nothing wrong with that.

Multiplayer games require balance fixes.

And they beating up the developers for patching against hackers?

So they're siding with the hackers then? Even applauding how quickly they can circumvent preventative measures.

Last I checked, cheating was frowned upon in the mp gaming fraternity.

...but you see, the kicker here is that IF Insanity Whored was even a little bit appreciative of their PC community,
they would have released a mp beta, so that all of these issues could have been sorted out PRE-RELEASE, and maybe
then, some of us would have been able to swallow the 'no dedi-server/mod-tool' pill a bit easier.

However, you now have a situation where PC gamers basically paid to be beta testers. Not cool.
I know allyuh have to defend it like PNM because you bought it eh

but you have to admit
this game is deeply flawed.

...and keep in mind a lot of these 'hacks' would not occur in a dedi-server environment, with an actual admin,
and PunkBuster riding shotgun.

Redlum08 · « **Reply #1184 on:** December 20, 2009, 02:49:38 PM »

NO, the hacks would not be as prevalent due to the hackers playing the game PIRATED on the dedicated servers and would have no reason to act out against IW as they are now to act like babies crying over spoilt milk....

Aye...its better to deal with the devil you know, rather than the devil you don't know.
I'm pretty sure the game would have been pirated a lot, but I know for sure a lot more would have been
legitimately sold. I for one might have bought about three...and then we wouldn't be having this convo.
The game ended up being pirated anyway. The only difference is now that those pirated copies can't
be played online (yet).

This issue is strictly confined to the PC version. That's where my focus is. You'll never see it from my perspective
because the console versions have less of these issues. You still have the hackers and glitchers, but the closed nature of
the console OS means that they're not as prevalent. Its the PC version thats getting the most lix. Look how
FAST IW's 'fixes' were 'fixed' again.

Woeful.

Been playing the game on console everyday with friends, having fun with it so far. The few trinis I know that bought it for pc and playing online to be happy with it overall.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #1187 on:** December 20, 2009, 03:32:06 PM »

likewise and I'm on the PC version. Not having any issue really.

Again the problem here is being blown out of proportion. Starcraft (and many other great multiplayer games for that matter) are patched years after release with balance issues and fixes. Eliminating cheats and hacks.

This is hardly unique to CoDMW and would not have been "solved" by a beta. lol

come arc, you attacking the people game relentlessly boy. Its christmas, don't be a scrooge.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #1188 on:** December 20, 2009, 03:45:10 PM »

...and you know how much each, a hot 10-15 people who not having issues? Real big survey pool there.

woodyear99 · « **Reply #1189 on:** December 20, 2009, 03:51:50 PM »

The point I am trying to make is that we having fun with it, issues and all. Not going to stop playing because other people don't like it.

Anyone doing the Prestige? I see ppl done multiple prestige already :s

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #1190 on:** December 20, 2009, 05:13:00 PM »

I leveling up in the 1st prestige now. This rounds im trying my hand at all classes of weapons. I jump in Estate and nearly top score with the barret .50 cal (FFA)

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #1191 on:** December 21, 2009, 01:22:28 AM »

lol @ super cool storey bro.

Why you're so hell bent on sinking the CoD ship arc??

I just finished the CoD4 single player.

That has to be the most epic after credits secret level ever. lol

Edging out the one in Advent Rising. Boss game. +1 to anyone who ever played the PC version of that game

Next Stop, CoDMW2 single player.

(Advent Trailer included to jog the memory, if you forgot what a sci fi masterpiece looks like)

woodyear99 · « **Reply #1192 on:** December 21, 2009, 01:34:39 AM »

That game looks pretty good, missed out on that.

Berzerk · « **Reply #1193 on:** December 21, 2009, 07:14:29 AM »

wow advent rising. that game was epic. i remember that end fight yes. was so vex when the studio went bankrupt and all talk of the planned trilogy died....

rassmatic · « **Reply #1194 on:** December 21, 2009, 08:28:33 AM »

+1 for that trailer Wyatt. I still remember how I bawl down the place when I first saw it.

I actually have it installed right now in the hopes of someday playing it to completion.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #1195 on:** December 21, 2009, 08:41:20 AM »

Another one of those that you bought, eh Rage?

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #1196 on:** December 21, 2009, 09:20:39 AM »

It was truly a sci fi masterpiece.

yeah boy berzerk, its a real pity the sales didn't pan out to keep the studio afloat for the trilogy to be completed. I'd have loved to see how the second and third games turned out.

Probably have the Pink Piracy Elephant to thank.

Might have feared better with a 2009/2010 release now that steam has picked up steam (pun intended)

Direct Download gives these titles an easier chance for financial survival.

ROFL!!! Does the blank that I bought to burn it count?

I rest my case, lol

Crixx_Creww · « **Reply #1199 on:** December 21, 2009, 11:24:43 AM »

i dont think piracy was to blame or is really to blame for the downfall of a civilisation
poor management, poor business model poor marketing poor distribution channels
having a great product and not knowing how best to monetize that product is not a skill everyone posses.
but of course Disney gets the scape goat beating.

that game was too damn epic
played it with multiple saves just to try using different powers to beat it
