Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Revealed
Activision Blizzard confirms and dates the sequel to the critically-acclaimed shooter.
by Jimmy Thang
December 3, 2008 - Activision Blizzard has revealed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, sequel to Infinity Ward's award-winning first-person shooter.
According to MTV Multiplayer, the publisher revealed the game at a Massive Inc. upfront held in Manhattan, NY. These upfront events typically allow publishers to display their games to advertisers.
While little is known of the game, MTV reports that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is coming out sometime this fall.

That's a rather retarded trailer. All I learnt is the date of release and that there will be Russian antagonists.
-
And that it might feature Sam Fisher.

Ooooorahhhh!!!!!!!!! This looks insane, now i really can't wait :P
-
This is such an epic title. I cant wait, but considering im buying this one original, the [/u]price is a little steep[/u] (http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2009/7/27/activision-blizzard-rip-off-call-of-duty-price-spikes-by-245ce282ac10.aspx). Lucky for them, for me, piracy is not an option with this game.
-
those prices affecting us on this side of the globe?
-
I think this will be my new addiction, this is going to be SICK!!!
-

even d LMG had like 0 recoil an den ppl does wanna tell me cod realistic lol
game looks fun but not built for serious sweatage IMO, at least on consoles anyway
yuh hadda admit da AC130 looks REL cheap it even highlight d enemies in red for ya wtf, all u hadda do is jus drop d bombs.
i can almost guarantee on consoles this game is gonna hav 0 communication as always an ppl wud jus race to rack up kills to use killstreaks

I dont think anyone is trying to sell Call of Duty as being a realistic game. They were going for something that was a helluvalotta fun to play while sticking somewhat within the confines of reality and the franchise fits into that category hansomely. The realistic aspect is more up perhaps GRAW's alley, or that new ArmA thing.
Also, there's no need to complain about people using killstreaks. If you're good, you'll beat any of those noobs at their own game and have lots of fun in the process.

"Captain, we have achieved geostationary orbit above epic win"
DEFINITELY on the 'must buy' list.
..and I'll take COD any day ahead of Halo, Resistance, and yes, even Killzone 2. A former new hoss. :sassy:
-
Like allyuh NOW realise that the game would have been epic or wa?
For shame.
-
lol soon we might have to put 56k warnings on all our threads lolz
also...regardless of what your poison is...is a game. GAME. play the thing and done
-
i can almost guarantee on consoles this game is gonna hav 0 communication as always an ppl wud jus race to rack up kills to use killstreaks
Uhhhh, 0 communication perhaps on PS3....Xbox Live gamers are totally different dude...You know how many people will be on Live on this game...we always have squads ready to go and YES we do communicate and have each other's back... :P

me wants some NEW perk info vid. hope that's next. AC130 very scary.

Maybe they have advanced perks and attachments , remember we have little idea of exactly what IW has in store for the MP this time around :P

hence i dont play cod pubs for sweat, MLG/GB rules for me anyday if i want real cod sweat on consoles
killstreaks jus cheap, fun to use, but for cheap for clan wars.
d sad thing is rel ppl online complain bout kz2 bots but ah cud bet yuh nobody gonna complain bout them killstreaks.
heartbeat sensor kinda cheap too didnt think they wudda put that in mp but hey guess they wanna make d game even easier an promote campin shotgun n00bs
sticky nades ftw btw that shiit lookin boss to use, i cud see rel montages wit sticks already
i can almost guarantee on consoles this game is gonna hav 0 communication as always an ppl wud jus race to rack up kills to use killstreaks
Uhhhh, 0 communication perhaps on PS3....Xbox Live gamers are totally different dude...You know how many people will be on Live on this game...we always have squads ready to go and YES we do communicate and have each other's back... :P
das allya, but according to friends on mlg forums who play cod its 0 communication by RANDOMS not FIRENDS an by that i mean actual tactics an setups not thrash talkin
randoms hardly ever communicate, friends obviously do.
Maybe they have advanced perks and attachments , remember we have little idea of exactly what IW has in store for the MP this time around :P
lol advanced perks and attachments. ppl doh realise that sequels doh get harder they get easier so casual ppl cud feel like gods.
doh believe me?
1. Resistance 1 > R2
2. Halo 2 > Halo 3 (str8 from the pros mouths)
3. KZ1 > KZ2 (lettin ppl spawn wit 3 rockets, super speed AND 150% health jus dumb)
look at blazblue 1 button supers wtf (whoever thought up that brilliant idea shud be shot)
i blame the Wii.

can anyone explain to me what is blu_vice's problem. As if developers were supposed to design games for competitive mlg play only.
Games are made so ppl can have fun, if you don't like it fine, don't come griping every minute about stupid things that are inconsequential to ppl here.

Yea, I saw his complaints earlier this morning and was just gonna give him an explanation about the MW2 Mp, LOL.
Yea but dude really, I can remember a bunch of guns with recoil in Cod4:
Ak47, M14, SAW MG, RPD, M60E, M21 there a few others i can't remember right now.And also what chinarakinda is true, yea the game is not jus for MLG play only, what it looks like is IW mixed the realistic elements into it but at the same time making it accessible for most gamers , just as in Cod4 :P
-
china u missed d whole point of my post.
why not take out d recoil in sp as well then? it wud b more "fun" that way too make it consistent throughout sp and mp
things that are inconsequential to ppl here.
this statement says alot about trinis mentality on here. thanx
wen u play clan wars u wud know
for me clan wars are alot more fun dan pub games against randoms
i got enough casual games to play online like LBP, GTA, Burnout and Fat Princess etc.
i like my shooters with sum degree of skill required, just like d trinis on here like dey fighters wit sum degree of skill.
im sure if capcom brought out SF5 wit 1 button combos and supers u, me and every1 else wud be bitching about that and rightfully so but ur statement cud also be applied to that scenario dat "games are made so ppl cud hav fun" dont u think?
and it wud be more fun for n00bs if SF had 1 button combos and supers.
see my point. different games same scenario.
must always try to see things from other ppls perspective.

So using your logic, since the guns in mp mw/mw2 doesnt have recoil and according to you doesnt "require some sort of skill" to play, then everyone should be godlike or at the very least be playing on the same level...right?
....right....
I almost guarantee I will destroy you one on one in a mp with the same recoil-less guns and then cry hackssss after... :shakehead:
-
^ LMAO
typical trini

casual players/n00bs wud always suk plain an simple. ppl who play the game seriously are basically on the same lvl wen it comes to gun skill. cod takes more mental skill but then again so do all mp games. its not hard to kill someone in cod especially wen u hav the m16 with stopping power droppin ppl in one press of the trigger even if u shoot them in their big toe. i like to work for my kills an feel a sense of accomplishment wen i outgun (<--- keyword right there) someone. cod revolves around who sees who 1st wins the gun fight.
I almost guarantee I will destroy you one on one in a mp with the same recoil-less guns and then cry hackssss after... :shakehead:
one on one? sure probably, cuz i hav little patience for hide an go seek, espeically d cod version of it where 1st to spot wins d fight, an ppl who know me know dat. team match ummm idk das a different story, idk ur lvl an neither do u know mine but claiming to b able to beat sum1 wen u know nothing of them kinda dumb imo.
on a last note
let me bring up 1 example
slysuki is a beast on cod4 & codwaw but is not good at kz an horribad at R2 & socom
hmm wonder why? cud it be cuz cod is da easier game to get good at? idk u tell me
-
Everyone can't be the best at all games. They would excel in ones they like more and practice more, not because it easier.
I dont buy the perks argument either. Just look at the cod1 and 2 days where there were no perks. What was the excuse then? And what exactly is "outgunning" someone. That doesnt even make sense.
At the end of the day, the bottom line is this...cod is fun to play, not built for hardcore realism. If thats what you're looking for, look elsewhere. Noobs get pwned. Skilled men battle each other and the man with the most skill comes out on top more often than not...and thats it. Just play what tickles your fancy. If cod is not YOUR style, dont hate on it.
-
Is blu_vice aware that if you set up a private match you can take off all perks, kill cam and extras. Is he aware of the hardcore modes.
Should all games be made to his liking or something. Is he so important that developers should make games to his specifications.
Developers makes games for the bigger market, you are in the minority.
I was in a clan btw for gears of war and when it was no longer fun I quit.
-
he's a little more hardcore, if he enjoys the competitive side of it as much as the game itself, let him be, he has a right to voice his opinion. as much as any of us have a right to disagree with it.
however i must agree with the general vibe, blu, it would seem your contributions as of late are borderline trolling, surely you can state your opinion without 'stirring up the hive' as the case may be.
if you don't like the game, that's cool, there is no reason you can't ignore this thread completely and contribute to the ones that you find most appealing.
there is no need to keep antagonizing the general population who do like the game.
-
+1 for that monsieur Nephilim.
Someone had to say it. I would NOT have been that diplomatic. :)

For years now, PC gamers have enjoyed lower prices for new, blockbuster multiplatform games than their compatriots on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Whereas a new console game usually retails for $59.99, PC gamers usually get the same game for $49.99. However, it looks like the price difference will disappear with Modern Warfare 2, Activion's upcoming triple-A shooter. According to major retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop, the regular edition for the PC is priced at $59.99.
To make matters worse, the PC will not get the two collector's editions of the game. The Hardened Edition for the consoles is priced at $79.99 and contains a steel book, an art book, and a token to download the original Call of Duty. Then the $149.99 Prestige Edition includes everything in the Hardened Edition as well as working night vision goggles and a stand to hang them on when you're not skulking around in the dark.

Why developers makin' it sooo hard for men like mehself to go legit?
-
will it be $60 on steam?
-
dunno. they haven't said anything yet. but my guess is that it wouldn't be much less.
-
No Prestige Edition for PC? Wow...why all the 'haterage' for the PC platform all of a sudden?
Guess I'll have to go with the Xbox 360 version then.
-
Yeah will definitely be getting this on console
-
i doh know bout allyuh, but pc ftmfw... lol, 10 dollars extra aint that much, esp for a title major as this, and you can wait a lil to look for a price drop even,.. i just want the game, as shivadee said one time, gaming aint cheap.
-
Hmm I might end up gettin it for pc and console like I did with MW.
-
I never intended to get anything other than the basic edition. Main thing for me is that I get the cdkey legit for multiplay purposes. I also like having physical media (which would never even see the inside of my cd drive) with the fancy box art etc and just the bragging rights of having the actual retail version. $10us more is no biggie.
PC ftmfw indeed. I cant imagine in a meeelion years using a handheld controller to play that game, or any fps for that matter *shudders*
-
^^^ I actually want the Prestige Edition, which I'm willing to pay top dollar for, but the PC's not getting it,
so guess what...

This game keeps getting better and better.

Actually, it's a shame campaign coop wasn't introduced sooner, also the lack of splitscreen action on the console in COD4 MW was also a diversion from the previous games. Used to be able to play as much as 4 player splitscreen for some local action. Treyarch proved that it could be done on the engine, so I really do hope to see that return in MW2.

^^ If u serious dey then wow :awesome: LOL. Looks like this will be totally different from COD4's MP.......thank the lord. They granted some of our wishes by allowing dual attachments........Effin SWEET!!!!
-
I still hate the run an gun crap so hopefully I can find some decent tactical servers.
-
My boy, run and gun is what makes you a better player at that game, hands down.
Play lots of free for all, and your game improves quicker than if you only play team based.
-
i actually like run and gun, d hide and slow pace thing bores me, i'll get pwned out in the open, but i like to keep moving, sharpens my reflexes. I've gotten some really ridiculous killstreaks and kills with my style of play.... belee dat..lol
-
Well depends on how u do it, i prefer the tactical approach...that way when i do see some ppl running and gunning they get whopped and wonder how the F*ck that happened :awesome: Only way i use run and gun approach is if the server is full to the brim and it crowded bcuz u need space to play tactically.
-
I can't wait to pwn all above posters in this game.
-
well nah i get bored, i'm a quake3 and ut3 player really, i like the fast paced twitch gaming action nah... of course i gine run all ova d place like a backside.. must use some sense, but i can't take d sitting and wait thing, or camping either, not even when sniping... i like playing on the BSO server... pace + sniper = awesomeness
-
well i meant i use a methodical approach nah, also...it depends on the map type, any small a$$ maps and i'll have no choice but to take up a shotty and let em have it. I just don't spray and pray...hate when ppl do that. And on an unrelated note, i can't find my copy of COD4 wtf....Stupes. :angry:
-
I can't wait to pwn all above posters in this game.
You have an Xbox 360? XD

sigh, this game is going to pwn my base so hard eh....

how hard is it to get into console fps ? I wanna get into it, but the controller stopping me from taking the plunge and buying the game.

Well, W1nTry used to be an all PC FPS kinda guy, since he got an Xbox 360 that kinda changed to a console FPS kinda guy, especially with the group of Trinis we have playing FPS games like COD and Halo and Gears...its just some practice rb...always wondered why we don't see spoonztt playing anything but fighters..lol
-
Dread believe me when I say it's NOT HARD. I used to be HARDCORE PC gaming... I STILL prefer keyboard for 2D side scrollign fights (read SF and MK). But the controller honestly is EASY to get accustomed to. You'd be surprised HOW accurate you get with a controller and how natural it feels. Here's what rb, just go by a padna with Xbox Live, and sweat some COD4 or COD WAW compaign just to get accustomed, then sweat an online game and dread you'll never look back (well at least you won't unless you have to XD)
-
uggh
thats rubbish talk, you unwittingly settling for an inferior gaming experience on that console rubbish
i tried my best for several months playing halo on sexbox when i was in college against the hapless americans and it just irritated me... had no problem destroying them in calibur and tekken and so forth (on ps of course) but the halo on console used to annoy me and they had lots of talks questioning the virality of my manhood and my placein the world.
THen a friend brought the usb keyboard and mouse for the sex box
and low and behold many loud jeers of haxxxx an cheater!!! in the wake of my slaughter of the console noobs
was glorious
fps= keyboard and mouse, preferably on a NON split screen (except for golden eye, cause that was just bad like red gyal crab)

-
We've seen and commented on that gun before. Is it that its going to be in the game?
-
^Idk if its in MW2 but it was in Farcry 2.......which i feel like playing now :S
-
lol, yeah w1ntry, I have to agree with Crix. I'm not doubting Live is sweet but steam and Xfire also sport a massive online community for FPS games. Cod4 sweatage galore.
As for the console vs PC fps argument. imo, console fps is boo compared to PC fps, for no reason other than the shitty controller.
Yes, you can become extremely proficient in it.....a kudo to humanities ability to adapt...but it does not take away from the fact that coming from a PC background, a controller seems counter-intuitive.
Fortunately, keyboard and mouse adapters for the xbox and xbox 360 exist. Saving us PC men from having to bother with the gamepad nonsense.
A keyboard and mouse is still the holy grail for an FPS experience for me. I used to have mortician mopping the floor with my head in Halo until I hooked up the keyboard and mouse adapter to my original xbox. Cut his arse after that. lol
Just as a side note, the hit detection is very forgiving in console fps games which helps with the controller's less accurate nature. Try that on Quake 3 for the PC and you'd see how wshb a gamepad is for FPS sweatage.
Long story short.....if you're a PC man, grab a keyboard and mouse adapter for the console if you want to beat up on w1ntry and friends in zero time flat. lol
I'll be doing that again soon (in time for Halo ODST) on my spanking new 360 (God willing)
Not in CoD though, CoD will still be a PC experience immc.
-
We've seen and commented on that gun before. Is it that its going to be in the game?
yea its in MW2
-
I believe that gun is also in Battlefield: Bad Company.
-
Oh damn...its 'low recoil', as well as 'fully automatic'.
Can you say 'spray without pray'?
I hope you need some really special achievements to unlock that one.

Deathstreaks... that COULD come in handy though I think it'd be annoying if you doing well and a man getting props off your skill... we'll see how this affects the game dynamics.... cause honestly sometimes you get into a match and get wtfpwned cause your teams is crap or ur playing crap or in my case... LATENCY is higher than theirs... so I guess i'll see when the hammer drops!

Ne one notice any thing with the Nade launcher here?, u only see it for a little while but seems to have a smaller blast radius .
-
This VIDEO (http://www.giantbomb.com/modern-warfare-2-interview/17-1374/) has some details on MP and clears up how the multiplayer features will be balanced e.g the killstreak systems you can only carry 3 at a time. Therefore you can only carry say uav, air strike, care package (out of the possible 9) which requires lower kill streaks or go for higher kill streaks which would obviously be harder to get such as ac130, helicopter, pave low.
You don't get unlimited throwing knives but you can retrieve it from the body.
It also seems in my humble opinion the game has the potential to be more tactical.

I like the fact that the HUD now includes a compass so you can call out specific locations better. Especially when the map designs are so intricate and non linear
-
I'm glad bcuz it seems most of the annoying things from cod4 have been fixed, bigger maps, smaller blast radius for grenade launcher and martyrdom, more insane weapons, multiple attachments, customizable killstreaks, new bada$$ perks........Dare i say we mite have the perfect COD coming :awesome:
-
ohh right, so when the sweat starting guys cause i'm getting it at launch, if you got xfire hit me up and we shall organize a massive sweat.

sweat starting when game come out and we get it, looking at what happened when cod4 came out, i don't think it will be a problem to get people to play with for MW2.

Had some sweats past few days in Uncharted 2 etc..and 90% of people had their mics on.

Come on, its only two weeks. Get a grip people. That is just after payday, so the timing is great.
Who knows, I may even snag a console version earlier than expected now.

Gimme gimme gimmeeee infinity ward!!! NOWW!! :bother: ya delaying bastards

Sorry PC owners, it looks like Captain Delay strikes again…Dtoid brings word that UK site ElectronicTheatre.co.uk took a good hard look at Activision’s autumn/winter release schedule and noticed that the PC version of the highly-anticipated Modern Warfare 2 has been pushed back in Europe until November 24, 2009…Two weeks after the game’s console counterparts ship for the PS3 and 360 in the region. Now, the delay has NOT been confirmed for the US as of yet, but once we hear of Modern Warfare 2 PC’s official marching orders, we’ll update our twitter with the deets. Sorry PC gamers in Europe…you’re apparently yet again on the short end of the stick…

ok good news:
PC version not Delayed
Bad news for PC players and this is from the Community Manager himself:
"GSPs will not like the news today. MW2 for pc will not have dedicated servers.
The CoD Community will be completely different post MW2. Things have changed a great deal. We will need to embrace change in the future.
mw2 gets VAC NOT PunkBuster!!
Sorry....iwnet replaces PC dedi servers....agn: no dedi servers for MW2 --> from Fourzerotwo on bash right now."
More Changes:
IW has control of the game.
IWnet servers will host multiplayer.
DLC will be a charged item for PC.
No dedicated servers.
Semi-capable password servers.
Semi-capable ad-hoc servers.
Competitive play is dead.
MW2 mods would not be possible.
Full integration into Steam.
PC has been turned into console.
Will Treyarch pick up the dedicated server side?
What does this mean to everyone? What will Treyarch do? Do you think CoD for PC is dead? What does this mean for CoDTV as all versions still have it?
and Finally:
There will be private matches possible, but no type of promod.
It will make servers and games uniform across the board setup and rule-wise.
How many players on a server is unconfirmed.
Its now official Infinity Ward are going to screw over the PC Community to favour the goddamn console community!!!!
Here is the link to the streamed event that I myself heard first hand:
402 comes in at around 1hour 39minutes.

:\ good lord, now they have delivered the final blow and pushed the nail in all the way. Thank u IW.
and welcome Archer to console PS3 or 360 lol
But in all seriousness that sucks alot. If I were still a pc only gamer I'd be so pissed...sigh.
-
Ok...I may sound like a total n00b here, but how is not having dedicated servers a bad thing?
-
this just went from first day purchase to a maybe for me...
im hoping what i just read changes, id rather it be delayed...
Dude i was thinkin that same thing.........
-
Well this move just makes the argument stronger that developers are focusing mostly on next gen consoles for games perhaps because of the piracy issue that keeps affecting sales of PC games, especially when it comes to popular FPS games like COD. Consoles are easier to game on when it comes to online play, as any next gen console owner will tell you. Pick up, log in and play. No arranging servers, voice chat, etc.
-
OK, now that I've done some 'required reading', I can weigh in on this...
Infinity Ward HAVE to be MAD IN DEY ASS to not have dedicated servers for a game such as this.
Now we will have to rely solely on the host's connection/bandwidth to determine how well it runs online!!?
Believe me, I have experienced firsthand how this goes on the consoles, and it aint cool. You have lag and more lag,
and of course, the host always has a 'ping advantage'.
This is essentially a SLAP in the face for PC gamers. IW have, in one fell swoop, 'consolised' the PC version with that move.
Now I'll admit, getting online to play with a console is WAY easier, but PC gamers are used to the hassle of starting up their game
and browsing the serverlist, where you can check your ping beforehand and join whichever server you think will run smoothly.
Wow, I can predict a veritable $#!T-STORM of protest from the PC community when this one drops.
Well look how I not running down the PC version again. This one sucks BIG time.
-
wdmc
-
WTF is their end game? What do they hope to achieve by crippling the capabilities of the PC version. Dont give me the "they doing it cuz pc players pirating" line, because they spending MORE to maintain all them dedicated servers than have people put up their own servers. I just dont understand the logic. And NO mods? Next thing we go hear they make it so that you HAVE to use a controller to play on pc, the max pc res is 1280x720 or they abandoning a pc version altogether.
F*** that. I go wait till it reach $5 on steam in ithe next few months when they realise that nobody buying it. I'm certain a lot of their purchases on the PC side is because of that fact that it holds features and abilities that are unavailable on the consoles. Take THAT away, what do you get.
-
...and is not even IW that paying for them servers. All they do is list em in the server browser.
Is hardcore PC gamers (like myself, and the goodly Captain) and clans that PAY to maintain a good server with decent ping, and the ability to customise
it how you want. Now you will have to wait on this 'matchmaking' to throw you into whatever server it feels like.
Hear nah man, the PC online gameplay for this game will be REAL stress. I wonder if IW REALLY test out this thing to understand the
implications of what could happen?
...and don't forget, the price is 60 US too. That is console price. Is better I just get the console version and done then. Lawwwwwd.
My fellow Xbox Live players always used to wonder why I would never play COD4 with them. Now you know.
The PC version is superior. Full stop. That is no longer the case with this game. Therefore I am officially striking this version from the 'Future New Hoss' list. :(
...and IW's forum is ablaze with protest and condemnation. Just check out the following threads...

58+ pages of disappointed gamers....in ONE DAY ALONE...plus I counted at least 18 people who said they have cancelled their pre-orders. They HAVE to realise that they just blew off 90% of their PC audience.
Off my Amazon wishlist, into my utorrent download list. Main reason I buy a game is for its online component. With that pretty much f**d to hell, i'll just mellow myself with some single player action and buy it legit when it gets cheap.

-
well this is gay...just get my system back up and having to read this...
also arc your links dead forum mods nuke them as 4chan fags were trolling/spamming
-
one question what do they mean by competitive play is dead?
-
Mods such as pro mod were used in leagues like CAL to make the game "more suited" for competitive play ie team restrictions on weapons, use of specific perks etc that were taken care of by the mod. Since they declared that no mods will be possible the balance will be left to IW and that didn't work out so well in COD4 hence the reason stuff like pro mod were created.
-
hmmmm.....this scary no mc, but where the source of this info come from anyway was this a IW official statement, I really hoping not!!! I know ppl who pirate copy de 1st MW and dey going legal now
-
OK, that statement 'competitive play is dead' is a bit much, but because there are to be no dedicated servers,
you cannot streamline your matches, and for example, make a hardcore server and exclude the use of certain abilities/perks/weapons
that may give certain players an advantage. Being able to tweak your server like that forces all players to 'step their game up'
so to speak, and not rely on a grenade launcher, or claymores for example.
This forces people to become more creative in their play styles, and by extension, the community becomes way more competitive.
With this new model, how do you set up clan matches and tournaments if the matchmaking system just arbitrarily puts you in a game
with other unknown players?
I use my gaming PC primarily for FPS games, and I was looking forward to purchasing the PC version, so I AM 'taking this on',
and I will voice my opinion with my wallet. It is as simple as that.
Long live CoD4.
...and refer to Capn's last post. These statements on the changes came from the mouth of IW self.

Anyone have the statistics on PC gamers vs. Console gamers? How many PC gamers vs. console. That would be an interesting thing to see. Also how much does Activision / infinity make off of each platform from their games...
-
Just did a scan on Xfire. There are currently 11,498 active servers...with at least 12 slots each. Most are more.
Do that maths. Now this is for the PC side eh. I don't know how/where to check for total active XBL players.
-
Well now we know why they didnt want a beta cause they knew we wouldnt accept the no Dedicated Servers path they have taken..............RETARDS!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Xfire users playing per day - 114,381
Minutes played per day - 14,051,229

Ranked number 2 in xfire, only beaten by the cocaine itself World of Warcraft and followed up by COD2...
Not seeing any official stat for XBL but the pc stat is good enough imo.
-
In these recessionary times, stats is nothing, $$ is everything
If you're playing cod4 on a pirated server with a pirated copy you can still be tallied in Xfire's totals.
Making that number uninteresting for IW's bank book.
What they will have their eye on, is the # of legit copies sold on the PC and console(s).
I will bet you a million dollars that this move is inspired by blatant rape of CoD4, PC version.
First Blizzard and now IW. PC Game Pirates costing us an epic experience once again. That's two of biggest players in the multiplayer arena right there, putting their foot down.
Sign of the times.
We'll soon see if the pegged leg gaming fraternity has enough vocal clout to get this decision reversed.
Who knows, they just might. Nerd rage idmc

ahahahahaha...I'm going to paint that on my Sidewinder.
Look they even vex HITLER and all...
Hitler rants about the lack of dedicated servers on Modern Warfare 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FKty5Kpf4w#ws-normal)
Oh come on you KNEW this was coming. :laughing7:
-
Thats exactly my point, piracy is definitely a reason for this move. Its always the same, biting the hand that feeds you good games by piracy and then complaining when they slap you in the face for biting...Gamers expect the best from game designers and production companies to produce their best work and then pirate it cause they think those same designers and production companies make too much money so its ok to pirate the game cause they won't miss the money. WRONG!
This is a business. They are all about making good games yes, but its for a profit, its for a profit to pay its employees (Game designers, artists, etc.) By pirating, you take the food out of their mouths and cost them jobs when they produce a great game and barely any profits from PC sales due to piracy. It was eventually going to raise eyebrows and get them to put their foot down to try to curb the problem. Console game sales generate $7 Billion a year as opposed to PC $900+ Million...now tell me, where will the Devs and Production companies focus most of their resources?
PC gaming for the most part is not as profitable as consoles especially with the next gen consoles and online gameplay via Xbox live and PSN. Especially if piracy of those PC games turns the devs off from focusing on support for PC. It only hurts the gamers in the end...
-
Redlum, you on crack or something?
Answer me one question. How on earth would this move be a step towards curbing piracy, even in the slightest degree. If anything, it is SEVERELY and DRAMATICALLY going to increase the piracy of this game for PC. Maybe you did not read the 70+ pages of posts bashing IW between last night and this morning, all PC gamers who are severely hurt by this move.
This CANT be because of piracy and they trying to cut back development cost for the PC because they are undertaking to host ALL multiplayer gaming which IS NOT a cheap endeavour as opposed to having thousands and thousands of privately owned and operated servers. Even so, i'm CERTAIN that while piracy is a valid concern, the COD series would have been the most bought game on PC after WOW. Never could piracy be a reason for this move.
Don't forget they are developing a whole new system which is IW.net and maybe have DLC support in the future eh...you really think that ALL that is cheaper than just allowing dedi servers and a server browser? dlc certrainly have the potential to allow them to milk players though, so I guess red was right after all, its a money thing.
Maybe they expecting a backlash and that many people wont buy the game anyway so that hosting servers for PC players wont be such a big deal. Maybe they will even lump pc hosting in with the consoles, guaranteeing a $hitty pc experience and finally putting a nail in the pc's coffin.
I cant believe they will do this. They have completely betrayed the PC community, the very same comunity on which they started with COD1 and UO. We were the ones who embraced them in those days and made them what they are today. Consoles were NOWHERE near the picture. The PC is what made them great and now they are just turning their backs on us. We were betrayed stabbed in the back and had the knife twisted.
I am really really REALLY disappointed in IW and Activision. This is a very very sad day for computer gamers around the world. VERY sad.
BTW, that Hitler vid was one of the best i've seen and captures the very essence of this atrocity. For shame.
-
What good would pirating do, you still won't have dedicated server support...the way I look at it is, this way they can guarantee by having IW.net or whatever servers they will have to ensure that all the games are legit and not pirated games being played on dedicated servers. I'm not saying that it won't encourage more pirating, I said it is meant to discourage pirating by enforcing the use of their servers and thereby some sort of validation process. Its obviously not the ideal for maximizing online play for best ping etc, but it serves the purpose of monitoring legit copies.
I support PC gamers, i just don't support PC gamers who pirate games, because it ends up hurting the gaming industry as a whole and ends up hurting the gamers themselves.
Thats my two cents.
-
I understand your point of view red, dont think I dont.
Its like this, they are making the PC version a clone of the console version, basically treating them the same, but they CANT. PC gaming is a neiche market that thrives on its unique nature and by taking away what makes it different, what makes it GREAT, you're going to loose the vast majority of the pc audience. The game for PC just wont sell anywhere as well because you're not offering pc gamers what they want, so you loose them. Why the hell bother to go to the expense of building an expensive kick ass rig if all you're gonna get for your trouble is a console experience? PC gamers might as well just plug in a console and use that.
Ungrateful people turning their backs on their roots trying to kill the very group that made them what they are. Where is the HONOUR?
So they are going to be better able to control pirates playing on their server, but there's going to be near no one who will even WANT to play on the server anyway. So its a loose loose situation, but they are choosing the worse end of the stick.
-
...and to put what Captain Awesome said in better perspective, consider the fate of the recently released Operation Flashpoint 2,
and another little game you might know, Far Cry 2.
Both games implemented this peer-to-peer approach for MP, and what do you have now?
Well, the MP scene for FC2 dried up barely 2 weeks from release, when gamers realised what was up. As for OFP2, well, Codemasters' forums
are still ablaze with protests...much like the Infinity Ward forums. What makes Codemasters' transgression particularly damning, is that they told
no one that 'no dedi servers' would be the case. People only found this out AFTER they bought the game.
Thats pretty f@#ked up at best.
At least IW had the ballz to let us know in advance that they intended to f@#k us. So I can deflect said f@#k with my 'titanium-reinforced kevlar drawz'. :laughing7:
-
I know what you're saying, but remember its a business. They are willing to spend the money on their servers to provide a service once you pay for the game. I think the worst thing PC gamers who have followed the series this far can do is boycott the game and NOT buy it, because in the end, the bottom line is what Activision and Infinity Ward are looking at in their corporate offices, and if sales of the PC version are weak, then it gives them reason to NOT have another COD game on PC. I know it sounds ridiculous, but Epic started going that route with Gears of War when they focused on Xbox 360 instead of PC and saw the profitability of Next Gen Consoles over PC.
In the end you know they really don't care about us gamers, dollar talks and bullshit walks.
-
i still try to ketch mehself after da slap...... ah tun chupid, i was even wondering if to go and buy world at war and all....
As far as i see it, piracy on the pc is a reason yes, but i believe (my opinion), it's the lesser of two reasons...
1) MAKE MORE MUHHHFUGGING MONEY
2) pc piracy.....
i have no problem with IW protection their IP but at least give man ah lollipop nah jed...
-
Got to agree with Redlum here.
We can't look at this action in isolation.
Years of Piracy on the PC platform has brought this scourge upon us.
Let us not forget that console gamers are gamers too. The developers are still trying to please our ilk but particulary, that portion of us that show appreciation for their efforts with coin.
The numbers speaks for themselves. Sales are ludicrously higher on the consoles than the PC. We all know why but just for clarity, let me include a statistic that should come as no surprise to anyone on this forum.
http://www.neoseeker.com/news/9367-10-most-pirated-games-of-2008/ (http://www.neoseeker.com/news/9367-10-most-pirated-games-of-2008/)

3 Assassins Creed (1,070,000) (Nov. 2007)
4 Crysis (940,000) (Nov. 2007)

8 Fallout 3 (645,000) (Oct. 2008)
9 Far Cry 2 (585,000) (Oct. 2008)
10 Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (470,000) (Oct. 2008)
Note item #6
And yes, that's # of pirated copies.
World of Warcraft has proven that gamers will pay on the PC platform for server based play. Granted, that's not ideal for an FPS but what's a business to do?
Either way, console sales will pay the bills. If PC gamers ultimately revolt and don't buy MW2, it will just solidify the developers position.
We'll see more GW2 and Halo-esque treatment. A PC port whenever they feel like throwing us a bone.
Good thing I take in front and got a 360 and PS3 yes.
Only one hope for my beloved PC platform.......the batman
-
Son of a M#%!% F@$^@ BIYATCH!!!
I gettin a PISSIN CONSOLE!! Fk this Sht.... *kicks MW2 outta amazon cart*
-
Lol @ Batman vs Pirates
I also agree with NGW and Redlum on this one. I mean come on everyone saying that IW etc. don't care about the gamers they only care about the money. At the end of the day they definitely do care about money, it's a business, the game development, months/years of planning, shareholders all require them to create great games that SELL accordingly. As was stated before yes people can vote with their wallets and such a backlash may just continue focus on more console development as opposed to PC.
Lets not forget that the gaming environment we now live in is alot different than say 10 years ago when consoles were much less powerful and had significantly less features. In today's world consoles now have many of the same features pc's have eg. online play, voip, hard drive space etc. Also with increased market penetration consoles are finding their way into more and more living rooms, this is a marketer's dream, being able to beam ads/promotions directly into the living room. It is therefore no surprise that developers now find this controlled platform more profitable when publishing games.
I'm not saying that the PC gaming platform will die but as technology has improved such IP protection measures will continue especially server based authentication etc. and can you blame them? I mean it is a sizeable portion of their revenue.
-
It would be interesting to see the numbers of legit copies too, for both mw and then mw2 in the future, see if their assanine plan works. p2p listen connections for pc fps. *LONNNNNGGG watery steups* This eh wow.
Im not going to resort to acquiescence on this matter. Too many pirates? Find another damn way to protect your creation. You mean they cant find a way to authenticate user before they start the multiplayer aspect of the game then users can go on to connect to whatever dedicated server they want?
Nah man that is downright lazyness. They actually discouraging people from buying the damn game for the pc. They dont need to spend $$ on a good pc if it brings nothing different to the table than what consoles already provide.
Dedicated servers and mods, that's all we want. I'm also very disappointed in those people who seem to be fine with this and just go "oh well, good thing ah have a console" and "das life and das business"
When will it end? They making the game for US. Dont we get a say? Do you just have to sit back and take whatever they dish out?
Good lord.
I for one not paying $60 to be frustrated by lag anytime I want to play with my friends. i'll leave that to other more patient, malleable people.
-
well its truth oui infinity ward did mention several moons ago that they were shocked at the high level of piracy for COD4 on pc. So in all fairness this was in the making.
http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/50748 (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/50748)
Seriously considering going only console oui, upgrading pc not going to make any sense, especially with the second hand treatment being shelled to the pc as a platform nowadays. Steam notwithstanding, the consistant delays, and hand me down versions of some of the games just making it a moot point for me.
In all fairness though, I have to give props to Valve and Relic for the tremendous support they are still showing to PC gamers, the amount of additional free content they shower us with for titles such as left for dead and DOW 2. is definitly a boon to the industry.
-
Kinda long read, but this blog (http://www.ploxebo.com/main/index.php/articles/blog-ploxebo--team-member-blog) sums up the entire basis for PC gamers' angst towards what IW has now chosen to implement.
...and Laertes...that 'Crysis' comment doesn't make any sense. From day one we all knew that Crysis would be a PC-only game, so how does that figure into this discussion?
Why no MW2 Dedicated servers is bad
Latency
Dedicated servers are usually always provided by big game hosting companies, with massive bandwidth DSL connections. They have direct access to the internet backbone providing upload speeds in excess of 100 MBits/s. Now lets scale that back to the average user, lowest tier access to the internet with low priority connection, upload speed generally around 0.5-1.0 MBits/s. I don't know about you but that is not at all good when compared to what game server hosts provide, a 99% reduction in bandwidth. I realise this won't result in a 100 times worse connection, but it will definitly increase ping, if you are in the same state or country you will likely get a ping of 100-250 milliseconds, different state or country? 250-1000 milliseconds seems about right. This would result in awful hit registration and lag. This alone would make competitive play extremely difficult and public play very unpleasant.
Host drop out
The host of the game leaves for whatever reason, and so bang goes the game. I know IW will likely put in some feature that makes another player in the game a host, but this will most likely be not very good and may not work all the time, and in the best scenario would result in a delay in play. This is unacceptable, it disrupts and destroys gameplay and would destroy competitive play. Unless you have a poor server, the game will always be on with no disruptions.
Performance
This links in with Latency and host drop out. Big server companies pay lots of money for specialist server and networking equipment, and their sole purpose is to provide a server for you. The server they give you has one purpose alone, to host games, not host games and play them at the same time and whatever else goes on in the average PC. This will affect gameplay, if the host cannot handle hosting the game either due to poor hardware and/or poor connection, the whole game will lag (don't believe me? go play a company of heroes game against a 1 bar performance person), also RTS experience has shown that you don't even need a dodgy host to lag the game, all you need is someone with a PC that has a poor spec and it ruins the game for everyone.
No community
How can there be a community if there is no central point to access a game. It has been revealed there will be no server browser, and as there are no servers there will be no IP addresses to give out. So how can you advertise a game/match to the general public to play? Like on a clan website or whatever. And once the host is gone, the game ends, so you can't invite people to the same match again or keep it running. Whereas with a dedicated server you can advertise the IP, and people can come and go as they please, and you can create a community of gamers around that server. You cannot have regulars to a match if it ends when everyone leaves.
Lack of control
You most definitly won't be able to customise a match like you can with a dedicated server, so you will lose a lot of control. You won't be able to ban people, kicking you may be able to but it won't be the same either way. You also won't be able to get the gameplay exactly how you like it as there will be no config files, no more server cvars, no more mods, no more maps, basically no third party stuff at all. Competitive gameplay can forget it, as there most likely won't be enough configuration options available, and competition mods like promod just won't be able to exist.
No Mods, maps, hence no modding community
You won't be able to use third party maps or mods as there are no dedicated servers to put them onto. No competitive mods, no competitive gaming. Can't install mods? Then there will be no point in making them anymore so a whole group of people just die out.
No scrims/competitive matches
As there is no server browser, or IP address to give out, how do you advertise your server in general to strangers who are not on your friends list? You can't, it will be very awkward to add somebody to your friends list so you can invite them to a server if they a stranger, this means getting scrims/matchs over IRC will become impossible: not everyone will want to advertise their ingame name or have people adding them as friends just to play a match, there are no server IPs so advertising for a match will require some creative thinking. Basically it will become such a big farse to get a scrim it will become impossible.
Destruction of server ecosystem
This is more of a business and financial point, which can make it even more important. No dedicated servers = No server hosting companies. There are lots of games still out there that use dedicated servers, but big releases bring in lots of money for these companies, so they will lose a lot of business and hence money, this will affect everybody, not just CoD players. If server companies go bust because of this every PC gamer will suffer, CoD fan or not. Also dedicated servers are the foundation of many gaming communities, without servers, they become pointless. Even more money will be lost because of this, as there is no central way of joining up in a match without a server IP for strangers/general public (remember matches are not 24/7 like game servers), these communities will just disappear.
VAC is bad - Cheating
I know punkbuster is extremely annoying, but it is simply better at catching cheaters than VAC. Just look at the Counter Strike games for an example, it is extremely easy to get away with cheating when using VAC. Cheating destroys the gaming experience for everyone and makes the game not worth playing.
Matchmaking
As there is no server browser, you can no longer choose which match to play on. The game chooses for you, whether you like the match it connects you to or not is tough, as you cannot browse directly for a game you like. Sure there will most likely be filters, but the experience is diminished, and it will be a farse waiting for the matchmaker to find, and then connect you to a game. Also mentioned in the fateful interview, is that you will be paired up with people of the same rank. Rank is not an indicator of skill, any n00b can rank up to level 55 without any skill at all. You won't be able to choose who you play with/against, and you won't be able to judge their skill on their rank.
No more big games
You won't be able to have big games without a dedicated server because of the Latency and performance issues mentioned above. The average person's connection just won't be able to handle it, even small games will suffer without the bandwidth of a dedicated server company.
No competitive gaming
Competitive gaming has been mentioned throughout this posting so for additional reasons you should have read this article better. As there is no competitive gaming there will be no more clans or gaming communities as we know it, simply because competitive gaming relies on dedicated servers in almost every aspect. Without a dedicated server you will not be able to customise the match as greatly as you would with a server, IW will most likely not create a competitive gaming mode (why would they? If they did they would'nt have removed dedicated servers in the first place), no server browser or server IPs would make it very hard for strangers to get into the match, there will be no spectating or CoDTV so there will be limited coverage of major gaming events, cheating would be massive anyway as VAC is a poor anti-cheat solution so why bother playing competitivly? As there can be no server mods for obvious reasons, gameplay cannot be changed in the way that promod can change it, for the better, another reduction of control.
Symptom of a larger problem
All in all, the removal of dedicated servers is the symptom of a much larger problem: lack of support for the PC platform. By removing dedicated servers IW is making the PC experience more like the console experience is nearly everyway. If I wanted a console experience I would have brought a console, not a gaming PC. There is no reason for the PC gaming platform to exist if there are no differences between the console version of the game and the PC version, sure you have the keyboard and mouse, but that is all you have that is unique and special about the PC now. MW2 is basically just a straight console port, with most of the effort going into the console version of the game (Proof: the map packs came out on console before PC, so more effort is going into console), this results in a lesser experience for PC users, and also more issues later on, like bugs (they still havn't fixed the bugs in CoD4), and as we are a forgotton platform we will not recieve a patch until much later than the consoles receive one. The lack of support for the PC is growing, and the actions by IW may affect every new PC game devoloped by Activision, and even the industry in general. This trend needs to be reversed fast, or the day's of playing games on the PC may be numbered.

Hmm i'm on Live... how does this affect us console men?
-
Nice find Arc. Brilliant.
Laertes, im not disappointed in colsole gamers for not fighting for pc. Why would they. They have grown accustomed to the workings of games for consoles and either dont appreciate, care for or need the additional benefits that come with a traditional PC experience. I just want gamers who even occasionally enjoy a good pc multiplayer experience and care 5% about the future of pc gaming to wake up and realise just what has been lost and to not throw their hands in the air and go "oh well, that's life"
-
Hmm i'm on Live... how does this affect us console men?
It doesn't. MP will be done the same way as for COD4...as a P2P connection to another gamer (as host), through Xbox Live.
This time around though, host migration will be active, so when the host drops out, the player with the next best connection
will automatically become the host.
-
awesome, I hear you....it may sound like some of us are "selling out" but trust me, I love the PC platform.
LOVE IT.
I'm the first to say that Halo 2 @ 1920x1200 on the PC is a better experience graphically and ergonomically (mouse, keyboard responsiveness) than Halo 3 ODST @ a crappy 1152x640 that passes for HD on the xbox360. Nothing short of a scandal.
Great for a console gamer who hasn't been graced with the awesomeness that the PC can achieve.
that said, we have to smell the coffee, and it's mixed with gun powder and gold coins from a deadman's chest.
Piracy is killing the PC star. It is the pink elephant in the room that we do not want to discuss.
You think they don't know about all of the inefficiencies of the console platform? You think they aren't aware that competitive gaming on windows is going to take a dive without dedicated servers? Quite simply, if we don't care about them and pirate the living day lights out of their code, they aren't going to care about us. Karma is a b!tch.
The $$ speaks for themselves.
Hard core gamers are the ones most likely to pirate in the first place. They'll have the skillset and know every top torrent site by heart.
IW is willing to bet that even if the legit, original game buying competitive gamers (all 1000 of them) decide to strike, it won't make a big enough dent in their pocket.
Remember, the casual players (who couldn't be bothered with the hassles of piracy) will just buy the game regardless. Once the reviews hit the stand and the scores are through the roof.
Paradigm shift iwmc.
Question for the Live players.
Slightly sarcastic question for the console boffins amongst us: Seeing that Halo doesn't have dedicated server support on xbox live, would you say that the competitive gaming scene is dead there as well??
no need to answer.
Lihixxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx iwmc
Come on guys, she's hot but we all knew she would be trouble and no good would come of it.

LOL...nice pic.
NGW, I can accept what you said there (albeit grudgingly), but looking at this from a purely technical standpoint (which I tend to do), it will not work.
Its funny you should ask that question of XBL, however rhetorical it may seem, but it really has no bearing on this particular issue. XBL users never had to deal with dedicated servers. They've happily accepted the status quo over the years because it works as is.
If piracy was the main reason for this 'paradigm shift', and it (IW.net) ends up exceeding all expectations and actually WORKS, then, I, Jeremy Kurt Archie, aka Arcman, promise, right here and now that I will EAT my words/criticism, and I will run out and feverishly purchase TWO copies on Steam, and gladly gift one to a deserving gamer, and I will sing IW.net's praises to the heavens (and anyone who will listen).
...but mark my words...IF it fails hard, then i'll NEVER purchase another Infinity Ward product again. I can PROMISE you that. Such is the seriousness with which I treat this issue.
As consumers, we have to take a stand too.
-
..and I will run out and feverishly purchase TWO copies on Steam, and gladly gift one to a deserving gamer...
Dibs?

second dibs? :happy0203:
-
lol @ men taking dibs.
Arc, I feel your pain but remember if it does fail on the PC side it will still surely succeed on the consoles.
That in itself will be an act that many developers will follow.
Now more than ever, their bottom line is crucial.
Personally, I can only hope the next gen consoles bring bloody native keyboard and mouse support and high res (TRUE high res)
Speaking of which, anyone knows what is the native res on MW2 on 360? Save me the google-fu
much obliged.
-
More LOLz @ 'dibs'.
IF it reaches to that, don't worry...I'll think of some way to decide who gets it.

Both Modern Warfare games are 600p native resolution on console.
-
600p.... is that even a resolution? not self 720p which is upscallable to 1080i? Cause then i'd expect noticeable pixellation like in Halo 3 which is not 720p native....

lolz @ that sorry console rez teeheehee

lolz @ that sorry console rez teeheehee
Never noticed anything on my HD, so I doh see what so funny
-
why do people get so worked up on resolution when playing the game supposed to be fun and enjoyable...the game not there to sit in front your eyes so you can wander around and admire how real it looks, when you can easily just go outside and get the ultimate HD experience by going out in nature instead of sitting in front the TV or PC Monitor with 1900 x 1200 pixels...come nah man, resolution is meaningless when all you want to do is have a good gaming session..
When playing on a console, it looks good! when playing on PC it looks good! resolution comparison is taking things a bit far. The game working good? yes? so why complain about it? Nit picking just prevents you from having a good time...
-
Well I don't think the argument is about it not looking good. But when a man put out some serious $$$ for his rig, that lil extra eye candy does make it worth the while. Remember the PC has always been the real "next gen" platform I mean a console is usually stuck with a few years of life cycle and well with PC hardware you can never keep up with the latest and greatest unless u willing to pay.
I would say that if you playing on console all the time and don't have much play on high end PCs then you probably won't miss it since you don't have anything to compare it to. That's the category I am now in lol.

get rid of your sexbox and pick up an oscilloscope and play some pong
-
A good looking game is like a work of art. when I crank up the details,and adjust my anistrophic flitering, texture detail, antialiasing or what have you, and notice all the gorgeous bells and whistles i want to be able to appreciate all that visual splendour. hence the extra cash paid on the videocard/processor/ram combo. that is one aspect of pc gaming I heavily appreciate, this in no way trumps gameplay, jus adds much needed flavor to a good gaming experience.
-
Question I ask, how many pc gamers here are going to buy a copy of MW2, knowing what you know now...hmmmm.

If I purchase (and thats a big if) it will be from steam's bargain bin...my cash going on Dragon Age and possibly l4d2
-
I propose how man CONSOLE MEN NOT going to buy... it'll be a VERY short list on GATT if there even is one.
-
600p.... is that even a resolution? not self 720p which is upscallable to 1080i? Cause then i'd expect noticeable pixellation like in Halo 3 which is not 720p native....
You'd be surprised at some of the resolutions games run at on console. Take Tekken 6 for example, the PS3 version is running at 1024×576 resolution with 2xAA and the 360 is version running at 1366×768 with no AA.

But my point is, do you care? Or are you having too much fun to even care?
-
I don't care, I can't see why anyone would care once the game is good. Hell I play old SNK games (and we know how shitty those look) graphics mean very little to me :lol:
-
This is a definite pirate just for the single player, can't pay money for this just yet.
-
I'm with berzerk on this one. Graphics definitely adds to the experience. Why do we have to choose??
It's the year 2009. I want great gameplay AND great graphics. Already made a compromise on the Wii. Not gonna cut the 360, PS3 and PC that slack.
-
Here's my take on MW2 and its 'lack of support' that the PC gamers are irrate about. The console version has been running the distributed model all its ONLINE LIFE. There are no dedicated servers, the main connections are selected from the best connection amoungst the players and it's been working for some 60+ K consoles users per day and that's just MW, not counting WAW and soon MW2. Same applies to most online games on the console (at least on XBL).
Now lets look at the problems with the distributed model, no mods, no predictable performance, less control.
Now lets look at the pros, less cost, more redundancy
My guess with things as they are they decided after seeing the console model work well at a lower cost to them and decided to just standardize the whole platform.
As for lower graphics, honestly if in the flurry of bullets you have TIME to notice the difference and I haven't myself then you're clearly getting WTFPWNED cause yuh standing still.
Now I can appreciate the idea that yuh get spoiled with BESS graphics and cyah stand to play at lower res, that was my first reaction to Halo 3 and ODST... I was like wait wait wait... after seeing GOW and MW WTF is this??? but then as I started playing more and got into the multiplayer I realized that I DIDN'T Have TIME to notice it wasn't as pretty and honestly now, even if they did improve the graphics it would add very little to the SOLID online gameplay.
-
while with some effort, I can cut halo the slack for graphics (had a blast with halo 1 on the original xbox on a 27" CRT TV), I can't see myself doing the same with COD. Need the hi res to see Arcman crouching in the bushes from a distance.

Have you played MW on the 360? I can hit a man across a map with a M16, iron sites in a gilly suite. My 32" HD with 1080i works fine.... so what's really the problem here guys? My res can't pass 1080i sure, but you LCD passing 55" HD?
-
maybe ODST giving other 360 games a bad name, lol
like I said, will triple check my setup on wednesday, maybe I'm runnin in SD mode and don't know it. PS3 graphics looks MUCH better in 1080p mode (Tekken 5 DR) than the 360 does (ODST)

Well naturally, ODST is built on the Halo 3 engine which honestly doesn't even run 720p native res, so when its scaled up to 1080i you get pixellation. To see what the 360 can really do graphically you have to play Gear of War (2 is even prettier), Bioshock, even MW is damn good imho. I had REAL BAWL the first time I saw the gilly suite sniper mission.
-
Graphics is a VERY important part of the experience. Why do you think that even though gameplay wise Crysis was average it STILL attracted so many players...especially for the single player...
IQ would obviously matter a little less for multiplayer in fast paced games, but in slow, careful, creep in the bush gameplay, superb graphics is a MUST, for me at least.
Still cant believe there arent going to be any dedicated servers.
-
Capn, if it were THAT large of an issue IW wouldn't have gone this way. With well over 100k players online on consoles and NO dedicated servers I really don't see how it's going to be an issue.
-
w1n, it is an issue for the hard core pc gamers, no doubt.
Lan play and dedicated servers are a hall mark of PC gaming. Unfortunately, it's also become its Achilles heal. The one weak spot where developers can do some damage to the hardened pirates.
Making online play the gate keeper for legitimacy. A realtime honor guard to keep pc gamers honest.
shame it has to come to this.
Every day the sun sets on the lan party and by extension, the GL scene.
the king is dead, long live the king.
Online iwmc.

Damn noob. I know you're right, and I hate you for it. mcmcmc. I still strongly maintain that they should have found another way to protect their game rather than totally derailing multiplay.
Win, if you ran with us on some of the serious battles, you'd get it....trust me, you'd get it.

the host migration thing...that is going to be such a royal pain at crucial moments, I can see it now.

no no no it doesn't work like that. The only conditions for that happening (which is the exception rather than the rule) is if the connection chosen as host get crappy all a sudden OR the man who hosting cyah take lixx and ride he shot. Otherwise you will NOT find that happening in the middle of gameplay. And as on XBL if man doing that yuh can report him and in the worst case get him ban. Allyuh hadda sweat on XBL THEN take another go at slamming the distributed model.
Men not seeing one of the major upsides, there is NOTHING like the server down or updating or need to reboot. Cause ANYONE can be a server for the match and @ Capn, so you suggesting that the online MW sweat is not serious?
-
My 2 cents on the matter is that alot of the complaints...well most or all are coming from pc gamers who swear by and only game on pc.
They feel offended by having their way of gaming be "consolized".
The thing is the system works on PSN and LIVE, just as it worked on PC in the past.
I have both cod4 and codwaw for both pc and ps3 and prefer console (not because of controller) but because how streamlined everything works.
I really think ya'll should give it a wait and give it a try, be a little more open to the change. As for me and getting MW2 for PC, I still getting it sometime down the line because I actually do like the whole matchmaking system approach, and I want to game with my pc friends none the less. (i will miss choosing the server by ping though).
Anywayz, best case scenario, IW adds a dedicated server patch option and all is happy. :)
-
For all the console 'fans' who don't seem to 'get it'...here's another point-of-view, taken directly from a post (http://www.infinityward.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=127704) on IW's forums...
Hey all,
I just joined the forum to weigh in--I play on the PC, am not in a clan, but I still understand the absolutely massive ramifications this move will have on the PC gaming community as a whole. However, I want to just ignore for one second the content monopoly, or the demolishing of the foundations for clans, communities etc. Ignore all of that and just look at this one thing.
MW2 spent 2 years in development. IWNet must have been planned very early on, and required lots of man-hours for work. At the very least, it is a revolutionary, paradigm-shifting, game-changing move for the PC. Such a change for an integral feature--at least a third of the game for the masses, the ENTIRETY of the game for the hardcore minority (and let's face it, clans are a minority, no matter how much noise you make)--you'd think that, if this was something they were proud of, they'd have announced it early on, touted it at the pressers, because it would be positive press. But they didn't, did they?
Not a peep from Robert Bowling, the voice of IW. Not a whisper from any of the demo events. Nothing. Not until the game is code complete, a bare three weeks from release, in an informal community interview, do we actually hear about this.
IW KNEW WHAT OUR REACTION WAS GOING TO BE. THEY KNEW WE WOULD BE PISSED. They never planned on us liking it, they planned for the exact opposite because they are PC gamers too and they know they're shooting themselves in the foot. Unfortunately--at the end of the day--even 60,000 cancelled preorders, a vastly inflated sum by any calculation, is a drop in the bucket to them. Consoles are where the money is at. PCs don't matter, not anymore.
To me, that's really the one thing I'm the most angry at. As a consumer group we have been sidelined without warning, our interests finally judged to be lower than the profits they could make off of an effective anti-piracy scheme and a content monopoly. We have been deceived, vital information was witheld from us, they knew exactly that the uproar would happen and THEY JUST DID NOT CARE.
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Even more than Bungie, the original console-gaming juggernaut, the market dominance has gone to Activision & IW's heads. Bungie only made games for the xbox 360, was an internal team at Microsoft, so they always knew that there were worlds beyond them. Not so for Infinity Ward. Modern Warfare sits tall atop the jeweled throne that we gamers built for them with our money and our voices and our time, and everything looks small from up top.
What can we do as gamers? We can put the money where our mouth is, and play something else. Sure. Except I don't want to play anything else, I loved all the IW call of duty games, and I don't want to play stupid battlefield 1943, I want Modern Warfare 2. I want to play this game because it is going to be a rad game in every other regard, game of the year contender easily, and I don't want to miss out. None of us do, even the ones who have cancelled our preorders.
And the heads at IW know it. They know that sooner or later all but the most hardcore gamers, the ones who need a mod to remove half the game's features just to be able to play, will cough up their cash, bend over, and think of England while they ream us.
For shame, IW. For shame, Robert Bowling. I'm just a number to you, one insignificant voice among thousands crying out to be heard, and as a passionate gamer I could do no worse to you than to not buy your game, but you know I won't do that. No, you know I'll come crawling back, you know that you don't have to earn my affection because you have millions more of adoring fans, and you have takn me for granted.
Best of luck with your new business plan.
If THAT doesn't make you understand why us hardcore PC gamers feel the way we do, then NOTHING will.
-
fully endorse that last post, nothing more to say.
-
Again, I suggest those who are irate play the console version whether it be PS3 or Xbox 360 is irrelevant. Just go by a padna, sweat, enjoy yuhself and then come back and complain if need be. If you think dwindling PC sales and lower bottom lines drive game developers and think that they owe you something, think again, if not for the consoles they'd prolly not even be around or be able to deliver a game of this calibre. So until good will and spit pays ppls salaries you should in the LEAST try a DAMN CONSOLE AND STOP B!TCHING.
Lets just do some math 60k players (according to your post arc) x 50USD a pop = 300k ... no recurring income from subscription services... hmm looks like a pretty awful money making model.
100k+ PER CONSOLE (x2) x 50USD = 10Mil & you are using the consoles online platform which means either MS or Sony absorb that.
Games remember at the end of the day ITS A BUSINESS, what do you REALLY expect?

Infinity Ward has revealed that it originally planned to incorporate fully-fledged co-op support for Modern Warfare 2’s main campaign mode, though eventually opted to shelve the feature claiming it “really broke” the game’s cinematic experience.
Speaking to VG247, communications head Robert Bowling commented, “We did it early on; that’s what Spec Ops started out as, as co-op through story.”
“But it really broke the cinematic experience, took the immersion out of it, out of the story and the pacing and everything we’d spent so long crafting. It just ruined the experience we were aiming for, so we took it out, kept the single-player for that one player intact and polished it.”
As a result, the remnants of the original co-op mode formed the nucleus of what would later become the Spec Ops feature, allowing players to tackle a number of segments from the main campaign which proved suitable for a two-player experience.
“But then there were moments that were really fun with two players, so we took those moments and put them in Spec Ops,” he said.
“So you can play moments directly taken from the single-player, in Spec Ops, but it’s polished towards those two players so the experience is pure. You really get the best of both worlds: you get the moments that were fun, but the moments that were shitty we took out.”
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is due out worldwide on November 10.

Hmmm let me think about it...............................NO!! I am not giving up PC for a blasted console! We as a PC community gave Infinity Ward nothing but loyalty and support for the Call of Duty series and this is how they repay us? By turning us into godforsaken console slaves? I would rather be a PC slave than a console junkie so W1nTry take your console talk an shove it down someone elses throat!
-
And that so called pc community, not alot of you here because I know alot of us own the games original.
Yea that community consists of and I think it safe to say over 90% piracy of Call of Duty games in the past. The pc community killed Modern Warfare 2 and IW just went to a working model that for the most eliminates piracy for multiplayer at the greatest cost they could have made aka the solid pc fanbase.
I pretty sure the IW team quaking in their boots at this decision. It wasn't easy at all.
-
Redlum was right you irate PC gamers are effectively drama queens, the REASON I suggested trying the console version was so that you could see the quality of multiplayer that can be achieved by the DISTRIBUTED model they have taken on. You all are b1tching about how not having a dedicated server would take away from the online experience but you haven't even seen what SAID online experience is like. Yall are talking like having no dedicated server will adversely affect your gameplay. What are you expecting exactly? slower framerates? downgraded graphics? ridiculous lag? what the hell is ur expectation?
I don't understand how ppl can complain about something but REFUSE to even take a first hand experience at how smooth the alternative is, in this case online play without a dedicated server. I eh shoving nothing down anyone throat, continue to throw words like that and you'll land in the proverbial 'time out' corner.
-
Did you even consider the fact that they refuse to make a Multiplayer Beta? IF they had made a Beta and let the community know bout this so called IW.Net the reaction would have been different but did they decide to take that path? NO they just expect us to take it cause they are the Famous Infinity Ward and we just gobble up what they spit out.
The Beta was the changing factor for this whole madness and they didnt use their brains at all to even consider it.
-
^Well thats a good point. Having a beta or demo would have given the pc community hands on with this model. But then again there was so much hype and so much preorders a demo wasn't needed. (Or the development time for that matter).
Again as Wintry said, go by your partner house and see how it works. or just give the pc version a try when it launches.
ITS CALL OF DUTY-MODERN WARFARE 2 YA'LL..not playing it is gaming blasphemy! (and pirating it for single player gives IW all the more reasons to continue with their decision.)
-
And yet again this has turned into a PC vs. Console war *Sigh* Focus on what we're angry about not bash each other for our choices in gaming platforms.But after some consideration, IW.net mite just work, maybe who knows. I'll wait this one out to see the outcome THEN make my purchase.

Well lets see what IW's response is going to be. My guess is that it will be a nice "We understand the concerns that you loyal PC fans have regarding the lack of dedicated server support, but we have been working for the past 2 years on what we hope would be a solid and gratifying multiplayer experience with our IW.net service, one that we hope you all enjoy for years to come." :)

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.
-
Seen this one yet?

-
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%.
-
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.
-
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?
-
"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:

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.

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.

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.

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.
-
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'.
-
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.

"“Most Played Online Video Game” in history, 2009 Guinness World Records "
With a lot of help from the PC no doubt. Notice how they have that line first.
-
Hmmm.....bout time
-
“Most Played Online Video Game” in history, 2009 Guinness World Records, I find that very hard to believe.
Wow has eclipsed COD on xfire from inception to now.
Maybe if they said most played online FPS.

The Dark Side beckons. I know what you're thinking, Reddos...DON'T GIVE IN!!! :laughing7:

*Finger trembling over PRE-ORDER button *muuusstt Ressissstt!!
OH what the hell *click :happy0203:
j/k lol

So question, there is SUCH an UPROAR in the PC community, why aren't they BURNING PPL AT THE STAKE for the lack of LAN play in SC2?
-
i guess because at least blizzard let us know beforehand? cuz they kinda pretending to save face?
not a 3 week before release bombshell like what IW drop on us?
and @ redfish...aww no you didnt
...anyway i guess you the test sub....i mean give us feedback on the how the pc version runs in multiplayer :happy0203:
-
Combining PC & Console would make it the most played online game in history.

BULL$HIT, Blizzard royally screws their loyal fanbase REGULARLY. They CHARGE FOR EVERYTHING, change ur name, change ur class, EVERY EXPANSION (take for instance EVE online doesn't) AND WOW has a monthly subscription. I REFUSE to believe that answer. SO basically if a man say he gonna rape yuh with a flag pole covered with rust and no KY, but he tells you say 9 months ahead of time, its easier to take? huh? with SO much lead time, thats time to gather a TREMENDOUS base of support to have a feature changed.
-
Nah I aint pre-order it, will wait a bit as with everything to see if there are any hiccups.
I am still going to buy it though. Wish steam gave a price cut or sumn :shakehead:

why you getting so angry, there was a large uproar about SC2 not having lan play and even multiple petitions started reaching 200k... and counting...
you probably referring to GATT members and maybe haven't noticed any stir in the forums about SC2

MW2 reached 100k+ in what? 2 weeks? you mean to tell me after how many months thats ALL they reach? And do you think Blizzard is going to change the lack of online play for ANYTHING less than 2million+ signatures? WOW has wha? 15 million players on avg, Blizzard i'm sure is betting on alot of WOW players at least trying it out and it already existing install base to lap it up. So i'm sure they're expecting figures in the 6 digit region, without signatures petitioning otherwise, it AIN'T happening.
As for why I vex, cause I honestly would want to buy it, but with my SH!T internet connection between the hours of 6-11 (prime time gaming) it's a BIG problem if I couldn't in the LEAST run a little LAN sweat whilst I wait for meh lag to drop.
-
Cant speak for starcraft fans, Im not really one, but actually yea knowing about something months in advance does help, keeping your fans in the loop about HUGE changes is a big deal.
Thats my main problem here. even if its all about the money, wonton disregard like this just cant sit well with any potential buyer.
As far as if the multi is good, I may still end up buying it, who knows, that price has to get some tweaking though.
-
2 weeks W1nTry? boy what you smoking? the news broke bout the no Dedicated servers on the 17th of this month, its now the 22nd(almost 23rd) and that list already reach 130k an rising thats 6 days where you get 2 weeks from?

I was being generous with the time, all that fan rage is getting to you clearly.
-
Lol I think generous was probably the wring word there...
I was pretty impressed by the number of signatures in those past 4 or 5 days, but I don't see it crossing 300,000 after 2 weeks. Fingers crossed?
-
Allright he lost track of the time.
Probably we have more MW fans than Starcraft fans in the mix around here. As for the rest of the world...welll...i dunno. Seems to me like is about 3 years now I hearing SC2 coming out so maybe the amt of time passed has an effect?
True what berzerk said, dropping such a major line mere weeks before release is complete disrespect, almost sneaky and just say it like is a by the way thing. This iwnet thing. No wonder they had to tack on an extra $10 to the cost. maybe they were doing the iwnet thing, realised that it costing a lot more than they hoped and ran out of money. Decided to raise funds by charging more scross the board.
-
ALRIGHT HEAR WHA!!, THE GAME REACH DEY AND IT GOIN AND SELL PLENTY CAUSE IT REAAAAL BAD!!!
All this talk really making me wonder if somebody already have it on they system sweating it and know something I don't know.
Just get it yourself or wait till it comes out and other ppl play it if you're paranoid. Stop all the drama cause it has really gotten old by now. If they gonna change/tweak anything it will come in the form of a lovely update.
I done posting in this thread.....seriously......give it a rest.....

I'm sure they'll implement some sort of organised play. Though without a dedicated server. Same as on xbox live.

Well the game not out yet so I dunno why people posting "reviews" on Amazon. You may not be happy no dedicated servers etc. but still a review can only be done if you actually played the game, they not asking for people's previews....
Perhaps Amazon should have had the review section locked off until products are available for purchase?

So then why hasn't MS been thrown in chains for the CRAP that was Windows ME 2.. I mean Vista? I don't recall too many bad reviews on etailers warning against how BAD vista was, or knowing how BAD vista was, didn't stop HP, Dell, etc from PRE-loading it.

-
nah its official, I read that article awhile back. I usually dont let anything in gamedom piss me off, but now the thought of my cash going into his pocket, jus does not sit well with me,
I mean absolutely no respect for the consumer or even his employees? And we cyar blame piracy for this eh. This is GREED. Plain as day.
3 games im personally boycotting are Starcraft 2, guitar hero and modern warfare 2.
Other developers no matter their agenda not so boldface, arrogant and disgusting.
-
context people, context.
[UPDATE] Below is the question which prompted Kotick's response and his full answer, verbatim from the archived conference audio.
Jeetil Patel, Deutsche Bank Securities - Analyst
"What do you think the retailers' willingness these days is to hold inventory on the video game side? Are they building positions today or are they still very reluctant and very careful of how they are buying?"
Bobby Kotick, Activision Blizzard, Inc. - President and CEO
"I don't think it is specific to video games. I think that if you look at how much volatility there is in the economy and, dependent upon your view about macroeconomic picture and I think we have a real culture of thrift. And I think the goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks that we brought in to Activision 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games."
"I think we definitely have been able to instill the culture, the skepticism and pessimism and fear that you should have in an economy like we are in today. And so, while generally people talk about the recession, we are pretty good at keeping people focused on the deep depression."
The man is speaking at a Bank Technology conference. Guess what subject matter is of interest to that crowd? $$ and Cents. The world is full of passionate people who went bankrupt because they couldn't mind the numbers and profit margin. Nobody knows those statistics better than bankers. They see all the foreclosures.
If he was at an Xbox 360 console gamers convention, I'm willing to bet the discussion would be totally different.
Either way, if they make shitty games, they'll not sell. Period. The inverse is also true. Regardless if the CEO is a mc or not.
Gamers aren't mindless idiots.

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6226758.html?tag=result;title;0 (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6226758.html?tag=result;title;0)
Irregardless of context, this statement was what had me pissed:
"I don't think it is specific to video games. I think that if you look at how much volatility there is in the economy and, dependent upon your view about macroeconomic picture and I think we have a real culture of thrift. And I think the goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks that we brought in to Activision 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games."
"I think we definitely have been able to instill the culture, the skepticism and pessimism and fear that you should have in an economy like we are in today. And so, while generally people talk about the recession, we are pretty good at keeping people focused on the deep depression."
Thats my opinion, I never see it appropriate or healthy to instill such a culture in any organisation, but like I said thats my opinion, I could be wrong and tough to any who can't respect that.
-
Fact is Laertes, those statements were made by him. That 'taken out of context' argument is a sorry cop out.
Some people seem to just refuse to see this issue for what it is: basically an attempt to force a new 'culture' on
an entire community, and wring every last dollar from that community. The fact that Mr. Kotick said those things just
confirms his overall strategy. That might be good for his shareholders, but not for me.
...and you know what? I've decided that I'm not even buying the console versions either.
IW, and by extension, Activision, can suck it.

berzerk, the man also made the following statement prior to those:
"You have studio heads who five years ago didn't know the difference between a balance sheet and a bed sheet who are now arguing allocations in our CFO's office pretty regularly"
Again, mind your numbers and they will mind you.
If Activision doesn't keep an eye on the bottom line, ESPECIALLY in these economic times, they will fail and file for bankruptcy like so many other companies. The man's a CEO, it is his job to ensure the ship doesn't sink.
As gamers, that's not music to our ears. It means a lot of harsh decisions that won't be in our favour but that's the reality.
Nice nod for BattleField Bad Company 2. Some of the most memorable sweats we had were focused around the Battlefield games. Awesome multiplayer action.
That said, let me remind you that EA also attempted to thwart pirates with a LAN/Private Server un-friendly version of their killer FPS. Anyone remember Battlefield 2142?
Out of the pot and into the fire.
-
Noob, your argument about their bottom line is valid, but it just does not apply in this case. (http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?dedis4mw) A move like that simply hurting their bottom line in the end. Maybe it wont make them bankrupt, but it CERTAINLY aint gonna make them MORE money.
Bottom line bottoming out idmc. Learn something, b1tches, others, take heed.

Interesting how all this negative vibe is being thrown at MW2 since the PC version got stripped of its Mod and Dedicated servers, the vibe continues on to the storyline now...lol actually, how do you know that you don't have an option to either save the civilians or kill them. How is that so different than GTA games? There are civilians on the streets that you can randomly kill. I say let the game be released and then analyze it then...Stop with the MW2 hate already...geez

thats why I never played the GTA games cause of that $hite itself.

Its a VIDEO GAME people, not reality, not something that is brainwashing people to go out and kill innocent civilians...Relax...Let the game be and move on.

nah this got nuthin to do with the pc version fiasco oui, this be a whole seperate matter,
funny thing is, this 'bad press' might sell the game even more, because people would be curious...
interesting how this video gets 'leaked' online...
might be IW's way of dealing with the negative press surrounding the game..who knows..
11/11/09 would be an interesting day indeed.

i'm with the narrator i'm getting this game, just to mow people down
-
In GTA, you have a choice if u wanna kill pple. There's no actual mission for that. The very nature of COD suggests that this is an actual mission. Personally, that's fun for me and anyone who can draw a solid line between the game world and the real world, however, there are some people out there who cant...
There's gonna be a serious backlash for this one, provided that this footage is legit, no doubt about it.
-
YEAHHHHH Tekken is out today ppl!!
...oops....
-
lol @ tekken post in MW2 thread.
Capitan, lets wait and see what happens with the sales figures. How much millions are made (or not made). The story is grim for the PC but maybe if they succeed (or fail) things will change.
That civ vid is disturbing imo. Granted, a lot of sick puppies out there (looks @ w1n and awesome) will find it fun but I dunno....could catapult the anti-violence issue to the forefront again.
2009 looks to be ending on a controversial note.
-
Now don't get me wrong I don't endorse unsubstantiated violence, I just believe in tough justice. Now consider this, playing from the terrorist perspective could be akin to playing as the Germans in previous COD games. Haven't you ever wanted to play as the germans in the early part of their campaign where they walked over europe and parts of USSR? Imho IW and the entire COD series (with the exception of COD 3) are excellent at telling a story and selling you on the characters you play.
Perhaps they are challenging the mold which is the right wing western sense of righteousness and showing the perspective of the 'terrorist'. Consider they may actually give a proper storyline show casing the brainwashing of ppl into these 'cells' or perhaps like in Syriana where it's not as simple as it seems. Ppl are almost forced into atrocious acts because they are poor and oppressed. I will see what exactly is the angle they take, but I won't shoot down the idea before I see it.

Infinity Ward has revealed that its hotly anticipated shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will feature a third-person perspective as part of a new play list mode in the game’s multiplayer component.
“3rd Person is a new playlist mode in Multiplayer,” community boss Robert Bowling told Kotaku. “So you can play your favorite playlists [or] game types, like Team Deathmatch just standard, or in Hardcore mode ([with] limited HUD and increased bullet damage) or in the new 3rd Person mode, which means you and everyone in the game is in 3rd person.”
“When you’re in a 3rd Person playlist you can’t toggle in and out, you’re always in 3rd person,” added Bowling. “You can’t toggle 3rd person view on or off in a standard game type either, people in 3rd person can’t play with people in 1st person, they’re entirely different game modes. This is just another way to play the game.”
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is due out worldwide on November 10.

Hmmm, call me crazy but I think this could actually work for the single player. Sure it's controversial as hell but I think we're supposed to experience fear and disgust during that level...which would probably make taking down those guys in the other missions all the more satisfying. I dunno...just a theory.
Treyarch did something in CoD5 where we had to execute some surrendering Nazis (by a subway entrance, was it?). I mean, sure they were Nazis but I thought 'man, this is hardcore'
It's interesting...controversial and disturbing yes...but interesting. If there was still dedicated servers this would NOT hinder my decision to buy the game at all.
But that's just me.

Hmmm, call me crazy but I think this could actually work for the single player. Sure it's controversial as hell but I think we're supposed to experience fear and disgust during that level...which would probably make taking down those guys in the other missions all the more satisfying. I dunno...just a theory.

Was thinkin the same thing. The intro level for MW1 kinda disturbed me too, remember i told u this back then, lol. But it did prove to be very effective in giving a sense of fear to the player. So lets see :D

Stop b1tching, jeezanages.... this thread has moved from being the MW2 thread to the MW2 B!TCH thread, cause that's ALL THE PC GAMERS SEEM TO BE DOING.

I still think this game is going to be real good, probably will be playing it for a few months along with Uncharted 2 :p
Anyway this reminds me of the COD 4 campaign where you are the "innocent" president of that overthrown republic. You get executed from a first person perspective. So the game takes place with different characters in several situations, why is it so shocking that we get to experience the conflict from these different perspectives. We get so caught up with the "good" guys killing the "bad" guys and people are disturbed when innocent civilians die. I find it makes it more realistic as civilians do get caught in the cross fire. Most importantly people seem to forget that by the time you complete one of these games you've probably killed over 500 people, that's alot of killing regardless of "good" or "bad" lol.
I found this article on a game (Virtual Jihadi) interesting, you play the role of a suicide bomber and are shown the motivations for such activities (murder of ur family etc.) Interesting to see how uncomfortable people get when seeing it from this perspective.

Is It Wrong to Assassinate the President in a Videogame?

In games like Call of Duty 4, gamers step into the shoes of U.S. soldiers slaughtering Middle Eastern militants without a second thought. But when we switch the roles around - even target the President - is it suddenly offensive?
Games - and gamers - are no stranger to controversy. We decry it when modern TV networks portray our hobby inaccurately, seeing offensive material where there is none (so we think). We wholeheartedly reject the definition of violent games as "murder simulators." But ... what happens when someone intentionally makes a game that is a murder simulator - in fact, a murder simulator where your target is the sitting President of the United States of America?
As Kate McKiernan relates in Issue 215 of The Escapist, that was the case with The Night of Bush Capturing: Virtual Jihadi, a game mod created by Iraqi-born American artist Wafaa Bilal as a way to draw attention to the plight of Iraqi citizens under the American invasion and occupation. Bilal soon found himself in the center of an argument about morality and censorship - why is it okay for one game to demonize an entire group (in this case, Arabs and Muslims) as evil, but not to do the reverse?
Virtual Jihadi is a game where it's easy to see the delineations between the medium (a first-person shooter), the content (shooting American soldiers and assassinating Bush) and the speech (racist generalizations are dangerous). The game uses the videogame medium as a chance to explore what would drive someone to become a suicide bomber (the content). By taking the player through the grief of the senseless death of a family member, Bilal asks the player to consider - not approve, but consider - where these bombers are coming from (the speech). It encourages players to consider that if The Night of Bush Capturing is a mindless recruiting tool for racist violence, Quest for Saddam may be as well.

I like your post woody and agree completely, what the HELL is right and wrong? we label ourselves 'good' cause we using the AMERICAN SEALS? or army as our character? that makes it OK to fight in middle eastern countries and kill their forces? WHAT yuh really doing there in the FIRST PLACE? fighting 'terrorism' ? noone said bo about the 'civilian' EXECUTIONS in the beginning of MW, but BOOOHOOO we killing americans on american soil in a video game and OMG it's taboo all a sudden? %^&*ing double standards $H!T
-
granted there has been violence to civies in past games, it was never put in our hands so much
and we have been groomed since our gaming youth that military type action should never be taken against civies, thats why its so shocking.
-
True, we've played through countless mandatory levels in various games where one dead civilian = game over. I personally never liked missions where you had to protect an AI ally, leads to frustration at times lol.
-
Personally, I don't have a problem with this, and I agree wholeheartedly with W1nTry on this one,
but do you see what I'm saying about the backlash?
If our lil forum can heat up so much, and we're not even Americans, imagine the $#!t-storm in the American press when everyone has played the game and knows about this.
I'm going to enjoy playing that level (and shouting expletives in Arabic all the while :laughing7:).

lol allyuh yes...
Yea from a story point of view as friendly_sniper pointed out...its all good.
I don't got a problem..but yes those american politicians and press gonna make a killing on this one.
-
AHAHAHAHA...IW's MW2 forum has finally 'collapsed' under the strain.
I can't even access it right now. Took long enough.
-
more lol @ lower than my shoes!! infidel dogs!
hahahhaha
It would be serious comedy if they include those as sound bytes for that mission.
This is hardly new territory though. Command and Conquer Generals had us playing as terrorist, complete with suicide bombers and angry mobs (basically civilians throwing rocks and bottles though you could upgrade 'em with AK47s for added punch)
Tons of terrorist sound bytes.
Don't recall much of an alarm being raised then and boy was it ever a good time.
-
Haha looking at it that way Generals was truly epic hehe.

Well it already made it onto the CNN website

Well thanks to cnn I have now actually seen the video and I really HOPE I get to play it!!! carnage!!!
-
WOW! First time I'm seeing the video as well. The brutal slaying of innocent american civilians. All that violence.....I LOVE IT!
-
and for those who said GTA didn't involve killing innocents:
Here are some mission objectives:
Left Middle Phone in North Sunview Part 2
You need to kill the DA. You will find him in the Park in North Richman jogging. Simply kill his guards and then him. Mission Complete.
Right Phone in North Sunview
Answer the phone and then answer another phone in Northwest Marina. First you are to follow the yellow arrow to find Mr. Kivlane. Kill him. Then go kill Mr. Watersane in his car. Someone is delivering evidence to the police. He will be on foot. Follow the yellow arrow and kill him. Then intercept a car and blow it up or if the guy gets out, shoot him down. Then you have to stop Mr. Johnsane and get his secret documents. If you run over him in your car, you get a Gratuitous Violence Bonus! Then go get the documents in North Sunview. Mission Complete.
And who can forget the guranga! bonus from mowing down the pack of joggers with a car in the original GTA. lol
That was one sick game. (literally and figuratively)
-
I just thought of something... suppose the highest killstreak perk in MW2 is an insta-kill shoe! you get to throw shoes that kill the opponent on contact and you can yell 'INFIDELS' if you're on the non-us side XD

On the whole civilian killing issue, in case the critics haven't noticed it is a game where you can play as the Insurgents killing the "good" American troops who only want to spread peace and prosperity.
-
its not only the critics you have to look out for its the Politicians you have to be worried about.

Meh, politicians are all corrupt, Activision just has to "Contribute" to their re-election bid to the Senate and Congress respectively and voila! What Game? Huh? I don't know what you are talking about..... :P
-
Yea right like Activision are going to sponsor the Fanatical Right Wing Politicians who bash violent games for a living? Hah they will just take the money and still bash the game for its level of violence.

Uhhh, no. Money talks. I guess you don't know how American politics works. If you can even call it politics. Lobbyists and corporations run this world dude.

Well, that's a good point...there might be Lobbying firms that Corps hire just to lobby all day long.. :P Either way Gov'ts are not in charge...The Filty Rich and Powerful are.. lol

Well this portion of the game is apparently skippable. Fair Enough oui.
“Players have the option of skipping over the scene. At the beginning of the game, there are two ‘checkpoints’ where the player is advised that some people may find an upcoming segment disturbing. These checkpoints can’t be disabled.

Here's what, I think this is all overreacting on the part of PC gamers who are b1tching about not having dedicated servers. If they were getting everything they wanted, they would have just stepped over this news or in fact supported it as they would claim 'it adds to the game play experience'. But since ppl are smart and a MOB is STUPID, the disgruntled PC MOB feeding on the negative press is just finding more and more issues that in another light would be hailed as groundbreaking. I just hope they don't cut this from the final release. I for one would like to place this piece of the story mode.
-
I fail to see how mapping things on a control pad are a problem.....*Sigh* here we go with the PC vs. Console stuff again...Look, I thought we are all gamers here? Console or PC, gaming is why we are all on this forum.. FULLSTOP!
This kind of segregation is not healthy. You could go back and forth for eternity about the benefits of Console over PC, vice versa, but in the end we want to GAME Damnit!
So yea, PC men claim mouse and keyboard easier to play with cause controllers are too difficult to play on, yet MLG tournaments are played on Consoles with no bitching and complaining about "oh noes, why we have to play on these dumb controllers..." Its all about preference. PC people have no skills with a controller so they say Keyboard and Mouse and vice versa...want to keep going? STEUPS...
Someone please CLOSE this thread!!
-
In light that my words seem to tick Reaper off XD. I'll try to be less abrasive when addressing the mob. The point I made last is not one of console versus PC but rather that the unhappiness of the PC gamers has led them to for lack of a better terminology angry mob with pitch forks and torches hell bent on burning IW to the ground because they are irate at the loss of certain functionalities they previously had. Never mind they have NO idea what the new experience will turn out to be, but have already passed their own personal judgements against what SHOULD be an EPIC game.
That being said, because they are so angry they are taking any negative press and exploding it in a way that they never would have, were they happy with the implementation decisions IW has made.
PS Reminder, disrespect staff and you WILL be held accountable for it.
-
Look here nah man W1ntry. iwnet & listen servers IS GOING to suck. Its not a matter of if, just how hard.
That said, im fully going to take part in the single player campaign, just that im not pelting out no $60 for it. $5 on steam or something is my max.
-
In other words you expect us to transform into console junkies like the rest of you.
Answer me this WHERE WERE YOU when the rest of us were running dedicated LAN servers back in the MOHAA,SOF and COD days eh? WHERE WERE YOU when it was SS, FOAK and the rest of the respectable PC clans ran the PC Gaming scene?
If it wasnt for Dedicated Servers back then we wouldnt have had memorable sweats and tournaments not to mention I recall seeing a Call of Duty 4 Dedicated Server thread here on GATT self that some of these fellas still use. You want us to just give up that one thing that made PC Competitive Gaming the way it is today just for some P2P IW.net CRAP?
Let's say IW takes away something Essential to Console Gaming with MW2 an the whole Console Community here on these Forums were PISSED we PC gamers would stand by you cause we know that once something that has carried that Multiplayer was removed we would be outraged along with y'all cause you do NOT mess with the formula that makes a great game.
But you dont show it to us whatsoever you expect us to just shut up and take it and become just like the rest of you when you dont know how precious those servers mean to us.
-
@ Redlum MLG criteria for games is #1 activitity on gamebattles the reason u see no PC games or PS3 games on MLG is becuz those ladders are basically dead. then u look at the 360 and its always packed.
it has nothing to do with preference for them.
a gb admin told us already that ps3 games can go mlg but ppl dont support it on gamebattles.
oh an MLG holds WoW tourneys at events.
@ reaper
as a fellow competitive gamer iunderstand where yall coming from with the dedicated servers BUT some ppl were takin it to far an startin to bash the sp as w1ntry said wud hav probably been ignored had IW given PC ppl all they wanted.
PS

not all console gamers are casual players btw some of us DO care about competitive gaming. If i see something wrong with a console game i made my voice heard. i did that earlier in this forum self wen addressing mp in mw2 for consoles.
-
in the end Robert Bowling bold face LIE to us, he said nothing will change when it comes to the PC version of the Multiplayer then he goes an do a 180 and say that they getting rid of Dedicated Servers for this mess.
Dedicated servers have been around long before online gaming came to consoles. Seeing that this happen the fellas will have to stick to the GATT COD4 dedicated server that has been running since the game out an forget about making one for MW2 cause they wont be able to. Hell none of the servers that I frequent on COD4 and WaW cant even make them on MW2 cause of this well it wouldnt matter cause these 2 clan servers refuse to buy the game even because of IW.

nice to see that there's a bit of "concern", i've enjoyed all the COD single player campaigns and they are what made me addicted to the game. From seeing an enemy toss a grenade back to you in COD 1, to seeing you partner get a sniper bullet in his head in COD2 to the flashback sniper mission in COD4 and the OMG!!! russian sniper intro in COD: WAW... gosh i loved every minute of those single players.. can't wait to sink my teeth into this one...
-
Reaper how old are you? (before I go off on ur case)

My age does not concern you either speak what you have to say or stay in your console section an let us LOYAL PC players mourn the death of Modern Warfare 2.

kinda hadda agree with him
3rd person view seems like a waste an wont be used much by ppl
-
ok seriously it worked with Gears of War (definitely) but Call of Duty?? Wouldnt that give the player an edge that they can look around corners without leaning???
-
My age does not concern you either speak what you have to say or stay in your console section an let us LOYAL PC players mourn the death of Modern Warfare 2.
As Red pointed out ur 26, the reason for asking your age (apart from your ranting and my wondering if you could comment without lashing out like a 8 yr old who lost their toy to the neighbourhood FEMALE bully) was to ask the question what was the first computer you ever played a game on? reason is I may play the console predominantly NOW however I started gaming on the computer DECADEDES ago. So before you label ppl as 'console gamers' at least have some idea of what you talking about.
Where was I when all those COD sweats were going on? Well I guess I went missing from PC gaming a bit after university where we played a little known game called Unreal Tournament and Quake III (which both predate COD 1 even) at that time Where was I when all those dedicated servers were in use? playing LAN sweats mostly and even then at that time QIII since COD is built on that engine I kinda stuck to old school for a while and I (like most of T&T) had no good internet connection to use.
-
This thread amuses me.
What amuses me even more is the use of the term "LOYAL PC gamers" even though most don't buy legit PC games.

Didnt those lan parties you took part in use dedicated servers? Well except for Quake Wars lawd the matchmaking in that SUCKED good thing I stuck to facing bots.
To this day Unreal and Quake 3 rely on mods and dedicated servers for its fun factor and longevity, an its still going strong till this day. Activision has completely stripped those privileges for MW2 so that means we get no custom content from the Community an have to be stuck playing the same maps over an over an over.
In the end they are against modders or as they say 'tuners'. Creative minds or now deprived of their tools to continue showing off their talent to the rest of the world and to them thats a blatant insult and a slap in the face and they just dont seem to care.
I really give up now yes as Qui Gon Jinn once said "Greed is a very powerful Ally" an thats what they rely on. They dont want to see MW2 flourish on PC they want to see it die.
This thread amuses me.
What amuses me even more is the use of the term "LOYAL PC gamers" even though most don't buy legit PC games.
the only time I download a game was to try it out in the end I have bought every single game legit this is one game I am not adding to my list which is sad cause I love the Call of Duty series.

You ARE an exception unfortunately
-
Why am I an exception? Just cause I wont give them a single penny? They dont deserve it one single bit, if they had left everything as it should be I would have proudly bought it but seeing that they chose greed over showing some kind of respect to hell with them. The vid that Berzerker posted:
Call of Duty 4 -- PC vs. Console Interview (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMfTR8PBrsE#normal)
They should have kept Grant Kollier he knew the difference between Console and PC but they shipped his arse to some other part of the Blizzard/Activision company.
-
Why am I an exception? Just cause I wont give them a single penny?
No, that there is a large enough Pirate community within the PC community to encourage the money hungry execs to shaft you now, hence ur not in that group and an exception (though u still get shafted)
-
So what happen to the Console Community? You dont think there is also a Large amount of Piracy there an yet they still keep everything the same an dont shaft y'all? The only games that dont get pirated is the PS3 cause they cant burn Blu Ray but when it comes to the 360, PSP, PS2, DS an other systems the Piracy is about as large as the PC Community an yet they dont get shafted.
-
You are mistaken, moded Xbox 360s get taken off Xbox Live, you can't use a moded XBox on Live at least not usually for long, as a dashboard update usually fixes that situation and quite frankly the Xbox is USELESS without XBL. So in actuality, NO the XBL pirate community is QUITE small in comparison to the legit. I can't speak for the Wii (though online on teh Wii? really? and as you said it the PS3 isn't feasible yet) so really and truly the moded console community ain't that large at all. What's your point?
-
The point is Piracy is still there an most of the people who buy games pirated know that they cant go online with an yet still buy it why I have know clue its up to them and they know the risks plus its a bit cheap thank putting out for the full price. IF they want to go online they would come back an buy the real thing.
But its not piracy they only targeting they are mostly targeting the Modders if you have noticed the IW CEO's calls them an 'Insular Community' cause they customize the games to make it last longer and they dont like it and mods rely on dedicated servers cause the makers can create a server an leave it alone cause it has the Map rotation an plus its manually moderated by others in their group.
-
We're not disputing that the removal of mods and their contribution to the community sucks, it is unfortunate, but the PC community (and not all of it i'm sure) hasn't even gotten to see what and how good the game WILL be. Yall are beating down the gates and have it in mind ahead of time that it WILL suck. But hears what, the console community is GOING to lap this game up all 200+K of them AND IW IS going to continue to be successful, since you have a problem with MW2, go BF2 and move along. Simple. This argument is getting tired and I don't see ANY kind of reasoning with yall. I say try it, if its ballz, nail em to the wall. If not and you're supprised by the good experience, then fine as well. Geez.
-
(http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n131/echo7solo/DoubleFacePalm.jpg)
The REASON they Community is in an uproar is because those IDIOTS are trying to turn us into Console players!! WHAT PART OF THAT DONT YOU GET!?!?!? Matchmaking was kept on the Console cause you dont have to worry bout the lag issues (from what I kno). There were many complaints alone with the Operation Flashpoint 2 matchmaking.
The point is IW didnt care! If they did care bout the PC Players as they say they would have made a blasted Beta and avoided all of this but the $$ signs meant more to them than just giving us the game to try out.
All I have to say to Infinity Ward and Activision is only 2 Words:

We've all had our say about lack of dedicated server support etc. in Modern Warfare 2. Can we all leave it at that unless there are some new developments before the game is released. Once the game is out and yall have played it/reviews out etc. we can all come back and chime in, because really this discussion just keeps going in circles, agreed?
-
Well then, from now (until the game launch and then give a few days for teething issues) no more arguing over this game. All information shall be related to game features, promos and other such info. NOT I doh like this and that is crap.
-
wow.......jus WOW....this thread is really gettin out of hand lol
game aint even out yet for ppl to TRY and all this ruckus
game coming out in a lil bit guys keep ur pitch forks and boiling oil till AFTER u tried it
and as w1n said if its ballz then itz ballz play bfbc2 if not an it actually good an workin then yall gonna look really dumb for all this bitchin.

I don't like it either, but I think we've said all that we wanted to say...for now.
I don't want MW2 to epic fail on PC, but lets wait and see.
-
Your signature isn't helping ur neutrality call Arc LOL
-
Well, I am boycotting until I find out that EPIC WIN abounds throughout the game.
-
I've calmed down just a bit about mw2, but maybe that's only because CSI:Deadly Intent has my attention right now. Never before has a game with such lame graphics be so damn interesting.
You'll definitely see me back here once its out though.

I heard that this CSI game is ACTUALLY good even tho it has lousy graphics

Well if one team shitty enough to let a single player on the opfor rack up a 25-kill streak, then the game deserves to be ended by a nuke.

campers my friend cod notorious for it besides it not that hard for a guy who stat whoring to rack up 25+ kills
ESPECIALLY wen u cud call in other shit to get free/cheap kills for u
an it doesnt hav to be necessarily d team shitty it cud b an objective game an d guy campin rackin up kills.
i love how 402 says they hate boosting an thats why no mp achievements bcuz they hate wen ppl play the game for a personal objective instead of tryin to WIN the game yet they hav killstreaks which basically is a personal objective an most ppl play it to see how far they cud go LOL
*remembers the good ol days of Unreal when a simple voice sayin killing spree was enough reward for ah man rapin n00bs, now that jus not good enough for "todays" gamer they need helicopters and shit to help make things easier :) *

perks (most of them are kool) nothing against perks BUT killstreaks are a different story
killstreaks are a cheap way to rack up kills and u know it
there is no MM option to play a simple match without killstreaks
doh even mention hardcore cuz that is a campfest
men find a spot an disable they left analog stick grab a cup of mauby an wait
especially since the already 0 recoil guns now kill with 1 bullet
take games like H3 and U2
they hav they hav they casual playlists with all d n00b crap like equipment etc
then u hav the MLG playlist for serious competition an sweats
in U2 u hav regular playlists in tdm like rpg only (horrible playlist btw u spawn wit rpg wit 99 rockets) for the n00bs and u hav a ranked playlist in which your skill lvl is tracked and goes up or down depending how well ur team does for competitive ppl
by having those playlists in those 2 games u ensure ppl actually play d game d way it suppose to be playedi.e playing for the WIN not to rack up kills
cod has no competitive playlist so MM is always a n00b fest

About 25 kill streaks, other than myself and Slysuki..
I've only ever saw less than 10 people in 25 days of collective playing cod4 and waw get a 25 kill streak. So ending the game is pretty cool for the elite that get the streak.
As for campers racking up the kills...well that's probably noob games y'all talking about.
Because if I see a camper racking up kills, he's either killed by a cooked grenade or shot in the head or knifed by yours truly. lol
-
^ lol i talkin bout good ppl not n00bs
ive had ppl on my list besides u an slysuki rack up those b4
1 had in d 30s so yea
plus pubs if u play with or against gb guys u probably might see it more often especially
especially on 360
oh btw good campers dont stay in 1 spot for long
MM in cod doesnt necessarily match u up with good ppl eh
jus cuz they hav a shiny gold cross doh mean they good jus shows how long they playin d game.
btw u taking d hardened or prestige edition?
hadda get da free cod1 boy

Good or bad? I woulda prefer if they left party chat available in all modes.
http://www.gamezine.co.uk/news/games/c/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2/modern-warfare-2-to-disable-party-chat-on-xbox-360-$1338219.htm
Microsoft has made the ability to disable Party Chat available to developers, with Modern Warfare 2 the first to do so.
The Xbox 360's Party Chat allows gamers chat with their friends regardless of what game or team they are in. Though this is a great positive that's yet to make its way to the PlayStation 3, some feel that it can act as both an advantage and disadvantage in online competitive games.
For example, "spotting" allows your friends to infiltrate the opposing team and tell you exactly where the enemy is. And chatting in your own party chat can not only mean that you're not concentrating on the game at hand, but that you're also leaving out members on your team who may not be one of your Xbox LIVE friends.
However, these two points would only ever be a problem in hardcore ranked matches, where a win and loss would actually "matter". Instead, Infinity Ward has disabled the Xbox 360's Party Chat in most of the game's play modes.
If you start Party Chat in those modes in Modern Warfare 2 you'll be given an message asking you to disable Party Chat and instead enter Game Chat.
You will be able to use Party Chat in these play modes: Mercenary Team Deathmatch, Free-For-All, Third Person Teams.
However, you won't be able to use Party Chat in the following: Domination, Ground War, Demolition, Sabotage, Headquarters Pro, Search & Destroy, Hardcore Search & Destroy, Capture The Flag, Team Deathmatch, Hardcore Team Deathmatch, Third Person Cagematch.
This isn't the first time Infinity Ward has been surrounded by controversy with Modern Warfare 2; the PC game will not support dedicated servers, causing an uproar in the PC community.
-
Domination, Ground War, Demolition, Sabotage, Headquarters Pro, Search & Destroy, Hardcore Search & Destroy, Capture The Flag, Team Deathmatch, Hardcore Team Deathmatch, Third Person Cagematch.
The modes I bolded you DEFINITELY need if you want to co-ordinate a successful victory against your opponents not to mention give heads up if your side of the map has been overrun.
-
obviously you don't know how it works. They didn't say they disabling chat altogether only party chat which is chat outside the game. They forcing you to use the in game chat so you can communicate with your team mates.
I think the move is ok but they should have made it for objective types only and the hardcore modes.
-
That's what I was thinking but if people are really dedicated to cheating they could use vent etc. and still get an advantage. Would be more of a hassle but still possible anyway.

Modern Warfare 2 is GameStop's most pre-ordered game ever
Some may have been up in arms about arguably disturbing material and unarguably juvenile advertising in and for Modern Warfare 2, but it doesn't seem to be showing any signs of stifling anticipation for the game. In fact, GameStop told Game Hunters that Infinity Ward's baby is the most pre-ordered title in the company's history. Like ... ever. GameStop VP Tony Bartel told the site, "As of today, the number of pre-order reservations we've taken for the game is the highest for any title we've ever sold in our 6,200 store network."

its a good move. party chat ruins no repsawn games u cant hear the other ppl on ur team in party chat so they callouts wud b ignored by u
also d main problem with no respawn games is in spectator mode dead teammates can still communicate with ppl which is cheating and ruins games.
lastly if every1 in ur group in d same game then WHY wud u wanna be in a party chat da kinda anti-social.
talk with the other ppl u meet also if they are a$$holes then mute them simple.
i jus hope wen ps3 get it it doh allow yuh to communicate with dead team mates in no respawn games like elimination in U2 and SOCOM.

^ da chat was hiliarious yes man get bombarded with dedicated server questions
02:07 Ryan-IW
With balancing weapons, we strive to make sure each weapon recoils close to how it would in the real world. A good amount of us here at IW go shoot regularly and have hours of range time. The recoil we have in game is reflective to that of real steel firearms.
lol @ guns having realistic recoil
wonder if he say da with a str8 face
-
Actually alot of these guns have little almost seemingly no recoil, basically on the way they were designed. as for the other guns they are of a recent manufacture so i wouldnt doubt that

Best way to Summarize the whole Session
(http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/7595/drawing2s.png)
So, as many of you will know, CoD: MW2 developers were involved in a customer Q&A over the net (provided by Best Buy). Apparently anything but the most basic PC questions were banned, so there wasn't a great deal of new news. Here is what we did find out:
* Dedicated server questions were greeted by being escorted out of the chat.
* Max players for all versions is 9v9. Yes, I said 9v9.
* No record feature in MW2 for PC.
* No lean in the PC version (Mackey-IW: The game is not balanced for lean.)
* PC Game is not yet finished
*
*probably alludes to the fact that there will be future patches given reports that
the PC SKU has already shipped.
Laugh
Is there a console in the PC version of the game, so we can change our field of view
from the xbox's default 65 FOV to 80 also can we tweaks the weapon damage for each
gun, removes perks, graphical debris, breathing sway, also thru console like we
where able to before or is this all gone?
Vince-IW
We would like you to play the game the way we designed and balanced it.
So there you have it! If you want to read the entire transcript of the conversation,

They really are consolorizing the PC version. Hacks ftw anyone?

Yes they are, however I do believe the PC (being more capable than a console) should be differentiated by having well.. some other stuff the pc gamers are quarelling about better graphics capabilities, more customization in the environment just to name one or two. I know it takes more resources to create 2 different development streams for a game so duh it'd be easier to stick with one, but hey develop for the PC with MORE of everything, then scale it back.
-
Yeah it's too bad they chose that route. I guess consoles really were bad for the pc community, as developers focus their efforts there instead.

I wouldn't blame the success of the console on the apparent demise of the PC, IF the PC market was as lucrative (read less piracy) then it would have remained the platform of choise development or otherwise. That aside here's a little more on MW2 from Ars:
Killing innocents: a Marine's take on Modern Warfare 2 leak
Footage from the upcoming Modern Warfare 2 has been leaked, and the startling video shows a player-controlled character killing innocent civilians in one of the game's missions. Here is one Marine's take on the leaked footage.
By Andrew Webster | Last updated November 3, 2009 7:28 PM CT
Last week, some footage leaked from the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Though it has since been taken down—with Activision claiming "copyright infringement"—the short video left a lasting impression. It depicted Russian terrorists gunning down what appeared to be innocent civilians in an airport. What made this scenario so shocking was that it wasn't a cut-scene, instead the player was actually controlling the carnage, forced to shoot civilians to proceed. You, as the player, will be given the opportunity to put noncombatants in the crosshairs and pull the trigger.
Unsurprisingly, the leak has garnered its fair share of controversy, with voices shouting out both for and against the scene in Infinity Ward's game. Some say it's a sign of the maturation of the medium. Others say it's tasteless. Ars decided to get the opinion of someone with a unique perspective: a former US Marine.
Timothy Bertram spent more than a decade in the US Marine Corps, while his son, David, just finished up a six-year stint, which included two combat tours in Iraq. Both are avid gamers, playing everything from real-time strategy games to first-person shooters. They are currently playing Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising—which Timothy claims is the most realistic FPS he has ever played—and both have the prestige edition of Modern Warfare 2 on pre-order. So what does Timothy think about the leaked video?
"In the real world is this [terrorists killing civilians] far fetched?" he explained, "No, not at all."
"The question is," he continued, "just because that is the way it is, do we need that in a video game? I don’t think so. In my opinion it dumbs down the absolute horror and viciousness of these tactics, and glorifies the acts. I personally have played some of GTA, but abandoned it after continually being forced to shoot police officers."
You can skip the sequence
Activision, the game's publisher, has since clarified the sequence. "The scene establishes the depth of evil and the cold bloodedness of a rogue Russian villain and his unit. By establishing that evil, it adds to the urgency of the player’s mission to stop them. Players have the option of skipping over the scene," the company said in a statement. "At the beginning of the game, there are two 'checkpoints' where the player is advised that some people may find an upcoming segment disturbing. These checkpoints can’t be disabled."
Of course, the fact that it's a "rogue Russian villain" makes all the difference. But what if players were controlling actual US soldiers?
"I’ll be interested in seeing if MW2 has civilian NPCs in the mix of combat, and if so, are the US forces players penalized for killing them?" Timothy told Ars. "I know combat veterans, many of them including my son. They have seen the enemy die by their own hands and they have seen the civilian carnage in that same mix...If a game allows you to play a US or Allied soldier/Marine and even puts the opportunity for you to kill civilians, it sends a terrible message about those Americans and allies that actually have to do this tough job for real."
But in spite of this trepidation, he's unsure of how to go about treating this sort of controversial material.
"Should this stuff be censored? I personally don’t think that is the answer, I am a supporter of free speech, but game companies should show some tact, respect, and judgment before glorifying these actions by allowing players to do these things in a game," Timothy told Ars. "There seems to be a double standard in the gaming industry in regards to things allowed, or accepted into many games. For example: name me a modern WWII FPS, or RTS for that matter, that has the German Forces using the swastika? They don’t do that, they use the standard German Cross on flags and vehicles. Is that swastika more offensive then killing innocent civilians?" [Editor's note: some games do in fact use the swastika, which leads to issues when the titles are released in Germany]
For its part, developer Infinity Ward has refused to comment on the leak, saying that the scenario is being judged out of context.
"Won't comment on leaks," IW Creative Strategist Robert Bowling wrote on Twitter. "Too many spoilers out there being viewed out of context. I'd avoid watching and reserve judgement till you play."
And it won't be too long before we'll all be able to experience the controversy for ourselves, as Modern Warfare 2 launches on November 10.
I like that he has a somewhat (stress on somewhat) neutral outlook at will at least wait to play to give his final approval or condemnation (take note some ppl), but I have a counter point. Whilst I agree that video game developers and publishing houses should use tact and carefully consider the negative effects that putting potentially harmful material into a game and perhaps it CAN cause desensitization to some of the acts, what about the other side? the fact that IN REAL LIFE in all those TV ads the US navy and army glamourize the calling and don't even HINT that you WILL be placed in a situation where you are firing DEADLY weapons at CIVILIANS in the midst of 'terrorists'. Why should we SHY away from the idea that IRL ppl, innocent bystanders DIE because they are caught in the crossfire. WHY should we SHY away from the type of choices that a REAL marine is forced to make on a moments notice?
You want to fight a 'war on terror' on SOMEONE ELSE LAND, but doh want ppl to see FIRST hand the 'not so bright' side of the 'good' you're fighting for? double standards imho.

I don't like the fact that the Max players on PC will be 9v9. WTF!!!

Agreed, though I am sure this is a direct result of no dedicated servers, one man home connection doh support more than that easily XD
Score another 1 for wanting dedicated servers. Though 9v9 isn't a bad number even with a dedicated server how much bandwidth is needed to support an 18pl match? anyone? some hard figures would be appreciated.
-
Yeah I think it should be balanced, at the end of the day people do die in wars. More importantly we talk about the value of human life yet the innocent civilians are more valuable than the "evil" insurgents. It is therefore okay to kill the terrorists but bad and unacceptable for civilians to be shot in the game. It definitely is a double standard since as we said before the motivations of these terrorists may not be understood.
As some have pointed out, the US armed forces aren't exactly saints when they go into foreign countries. You think if they invade a sovereign nation their troops really care if a few people get killed in their wake. Now I know it is wrong to stereotype but if you are in a foreign country where people are hostile towards you wouldn't instinct be to shoot first, ask questions later.
I think all sides should be shown, but it should be done tastefully. I don't mean censor out the bloodshed etc, but don't make a mockery of people and try to be in some way balanced with such exposure on either side.
At the end of the day these games are about escapism, no one expects to be in these situations, they are not simulators. Similar plot devices are used in movies where innocent people are killed so why not in games, not like it gonna make me wanna go out there and shoot up people (If it does then something really wrong with meh mind).

play socom.
those guns hav realistic recoil.
if is one thing socom always did right was the guns and how they behave.
if u havent noticed they are not making games harder they are making them easier
they stripped recoil out of cod4 mp
its all to appeal to the mass market an make it accessible to the casual gamer so they cud get more $$$
look at death streaks ah mean....rewarding bad players for dyin 4 times in a row and more? wtf
very few devs these days care about the hardcore community, thanks to the Wii etc they hav seen how much $$$ they can get if they cater to the casual community
-
hmm 9v9 limit... jah... smaller more competitive games, but i do like my chaos.... sighz..

hmm 9v9 limit... jah... smaller more competitive games, but i do like my chaos.... sighz..
Even at 9v9 games on console, there was chaos.
i personally rarely ever played 9v9, just the regular 6v6.
And on pc I would only play games with 20people max..those 40 person games were ridiculous.
-
It all depends on the people who run the servers, If they want a 32 player Server they create one just to see the carnage if not they can just lower the player cap to whatever suits them.
-
I'm not concerned with what people think was 'the best', because that's a subjective matter, I'm wondering if it makes sense provide large scale matches if they are rarely used.
well on consoles no
ppl more played regular 6v6 matches
as apprentice said on those size maps for cod4 those ground wars got pretty hectic even with 18ppl
ppl spammin frags like it goin outta style
smaller games were always the better 1s in cod4 for me
then again i only used to play domination, easily the best mode in cod4 imo
-

Considering that servers like UTDM and Up all night still manage to average an 80% full most of the time, I think we can safely assume orgy matches like that are alive and well on the PC. These aren't actual statistics mind you, only personal observations from alot of different times over a day.

isnt that from World at War Zombie Mode? They have dedicated servers but I rely on friends list inviting me into the lobby instead of having some noob join who cant rely on team work.

meh @ space mission, it might just be a lil - (imagine Russian/soviet accent) 'walk outside yuri, fix satellite, here is hammer' - kinda scene like they did with the nuke blast ending in mw1 or even the intro - none of which were lacking in awesome btw (especially the nuke blast)
i can't imagine why armed/ground forces would be needed on a space craft

I was wondering for current console games such as Uncharted 2 and Halo ODST, have yall ever experienced host advantage? I remember it was really prevalent in the original gears of war.

I've absolutely no host advantage problem with Uncharted 2's multiplayer. With Halo ODST you not really playing against people cause it's co-op mainly. I've played Gears of War recently and I'm afraid to say it but, host advantage is still rampant.
-
Yea I should know about that cause I played along with y'all when I had Gears on PC
-
@ woody
Gears 1 and 2 has host advantage
H3 does also
based on the other shooters i play no
havent had any advantage on kz2, r2, or u2

Well I found Gears 2 to have significantly less host advantage compared to the first one. And well yeah I doh seem to notice any advantage in U2 and KZ2. Isn't COD4 based on the same system MW2 will utilize? Did not really notice much host advantage there either lol.

Activision "Not Overly Concerned" About Reaction To Dedicated Servers
(http://cache.g4tv.com/ImageDb3/181688_S/Activision-Not-Overly-Concerned-About-Reaction-To-Dedicated-Servers.jpg)
The response to Infinity Ward's decision to remove support for player-run dedicated servers from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and embrace console-style matchmaking has been near-universally negative from hardcore PC users. Activision has allowed Infinity Ward to respond directly to players since the news broke, but on an Activision quarterly results call, an analyst asked the publisher if the reaction would have a notable impact on the sales of the PC version of Modern Warfare 2.
In short: Activision's not worried.
"We're of course watching this very carefully and paying attention it it, but we're not overly concerned about it," said Activision Publishing head Michael Griffith. "One of the problems of our PC [versions] on this title in the past is that it has not been as friendly a consumer experience in terms of matchmaking and online play as the consoles have allowed it to be. Our solution here improves that consumer experience overall by a significant margin, so we we think the benefits that we will see are gonna far outweigh any negatives that seem to be surfacing."
Of course, we won't know the real-world impact until Modern Warfare 2 goes on sale next week, where gamers will be forced to put their money where their mouth is. Just a few days now...

What exactly do you define as crappy?.... then again I don't think anyone should bother to ask crixx that he'll prolly give some lobsided excuse... moving along
That aside after this latest interview on the PC version I must say IW royally shafter the PC community, the loss of the console and some other features as a PC game goes is well rubbish. I would definitely condone PC gamers NOT picking up this title. ON the other hand I would NOT condone a CONSOLE gamers NOT picking this up. However there is hope for the PC community, it'll be a matter of time before the code is ripped apart and hopefully dedicated servers and all the mods they want are made part of the game.. none legit that is..
THat being all said, here are some images for IW.... and a single or even double facepalm isn't enough for this

Yeah boy I cannot blame anyone for not buying the PC version, they really took the core of the pc experience out. It works for console since a more streamlined experience works for those seeking convenience but damn no more mods/customizability on pc that's just unacceptable. I thought I woulda still get it for PC but nah no way now.
The console experience I believe will be just as good or better than COD4, so basically if yuh liked the previous installment on yuh console I doh see why yuh wouldn't like this one. It is goin to be epic :) The reviews should be coming out soon enough.

-
with Doom 4 around the corner they better rethink that strategy or else it will go down the same path as MW2
-
Signs of the times people, signs of the times...they are willing to incur the cost of running their own servers to ensure that people buy legit copies of their games to play online. Yes they are following the console model of multiplayer with P2P but its more profitable for them to invest in servers and have people buy the game legit to play online. Blame Console Owners if you want, because its them who fuel this raging money making machine that's part of the capitalist world. :P

Redlum...I have to admit (grudgingly of course) that you're absolutely right.
When IW could say that they 'not overly concerned' about PC gamers' backlash,
then we in trouble.
-
We were in trouble since they said no Dedicated Servers to begin with.
-
Buying that game is akin to saying "Do with us whatever you like. Rape us no grease? We still buying it."
Its also like any idiot who is in an abusive relationship and chooses to remain part and parcel of it...
-
I object!
Let's not forget that peter is paying for paul and anya paying for all.
PC Gamers (as a whole) have been feeding off the fat of game developers for decades. Enjoying their work for FREE.
Now, it is pay back time....and while some might say this is rape, I see this as karmic justice.
-
Nother comparison...man getting pressure no tail in work from boss/colleagues, needs place to vent. Proceeds to get gun and shoot employer, colleagues secretary adn she dog.
Karmic justice or bad handling?
I not fighting down nobody who buying it. All power to them but meh bretherin...THIS nigga eh going down like that.
-
but baego how dis stoppin de davey jones???
THis goin an get disney just like any other game, so it not stopping nothing.
-
exactly. so is like they just throwing us a bone now.
Here doggy, catch.
Not a choice piece of ham like we used to get. No sir, that special treatment for the PC platform is on the way out.
No such thing as a free lunch. Thanks to Davy Jones.
I'm not happy about it, but I understand their position.
It takes the winds out of your sails when the very people you cater for turn around and stab you in the back by stealing your hard work.
It was only a matter of time before developers started to sing a different tune and act like lovers scorned.
Had we flocked for our wallets en masse and bought CoD4 (we being PC gamers the world over) and filled dedicated servers with legit CD keys, they would never have taken this action.
Console gamers did precisely that. The sales figures confirms it unquestionably. They have a new baby to fawn over while we get to stand in the corner with a dunce cap like a spoiled brat.
PC > Console. Pity our money went into the hardware while we gobbled up the software for gratis. Now that hardware will be moot if IW has their way.
Shame really. And according to a famous cricket announcer, "The West Indies have nobody to blame but themselves."
-
but study this
now that pc gamers goin an have more time on their hands with MANUre level pc games coming out (bar the few gems)
They may just turn those idle hands against the console world, and make havoc there.
I not saying that the disney is right or justified. But to make all pc gamers pay is not cool
look how many of us were ready to shovel our hard earned shekels into their hands but then they spit in our faces.
Nah no shekles for j00 now

I guess most gamers would just download a pirated copy for the campaign?
-
But study too, consoles have subscriptions that go towards maintainance of the online presence. I am long time out of the loop, but what subsciptions are there if any for playing COD4? After you purchase the game and say you play it for the next 4 years, who antys up the cost of maintainance of those servers? who's paying for the bandwidth from the ISPs? who is paying them to patch the games and do bug fixes?
These are all honest questions mind you. Blizzard charges a monthly rental aka subscription to play, as do many MMORPGs, what do the FPS community pay in? kind? money? ISP bills?
-
lol @ pay in kind

I used to work @ JK sometime ago so yeah.

couldnt resist the MANURE beatings... doh make me call in another c rate squad to beat dem again lolz.
AS for paying for isp and so forth, thats why hosting our own servers is a good thing! not having to rely on activisions or EAs servers is a good thing! men used to pay hosting companies for storage and bandwidth, men used to make custom patches and so forth@!!
But at the same time, for a service like live+steam with dedicated servers iam sure gamers wouldnt mind paying a yearly sub or something! they never even ask!! Create payed DLC even, since thas the new flick, use the arena net model.

Ent you need to install Steam anyway? :P
Anyhows yea I agree with the packaging but I reach a point where I go download only for pc and physical for console. (Because of the advent of broadband internet and huge harddrives.)
-
Salt for the pc gamers for now. Steam up the proverbial arse. Cant even get past it during install. Acquirers...hold on to your bandwidth.
-
Was the big prob with steam though? o.O.
-
I know a few people that have had problems with steam. My experience has been positive so far, downloaded quite a few titles over it these past few years with no issues.
-

yeah, ironic, either way it kinda work out to be the same cost, factor in download time with a steam purchase, and 475 aint bad at all
like woody i never had a problem with steam, is just some ppl hear one or 2 other ppl had probs and 'OH NOES! STAEM IS TEH BALLZAGE'
the only thing i could say i dislike bout steam is the offline mode, it to fickle.
-
Hmm I did not have as much luck with EA download manager when I got the Battlefield 2 addons and 2142. Real headache with failed/stalled downloads and corrupted files :S
-
Oh, I remember that shiznit. Had to be reinstalling them games ever so often. I really hated that EA crap. It never worked the way it was intended.
-
Now that yall mention it, I do infact remember the problems people had with steam :0
I too was hesitant at one point with steam, it's improved now I think.
-
yeah steam was absolute rubbish back in the day.
That left a bad taste in many early adopters mouths. It is 100 times better now.
After recent updates, it has gone easy on memory consumption as well. Making it faster to load and more responsive overall.
Still not a flawless app but then again, what is?
The pros outweigh the cons in my opinion, earning steam a permanent spot on my system tray. (fawns over his shiny $10 mass effect download)

Well BOY...THIS vid nearly make me change my stance, but ah still holding firm until the PC buyers say it win.

Modern Warfare 2 Released Early in North Eastern U.S. GameStops
Some lucky players are now playing Modern Warfare 2 early this weekend as GameStops in Northeastern states have been granted special dispensation from Activision to release them early due to street-breaking mom-and-pop stores.
Lucky for us, we’re located in N.Y. and we’re enjoying the game early. For the unlucky ones, you can probably find one of those mom-and-pop stores or wait until Monday night. GameStop employees have stated they were granted special permission due to the issues of lost customers from small retailers who are releasing them early which is punishable up to a $30,000 fine.
If you’ve preordered or have plans to hitting GameStop this week, check out this funny GameStop survival guide below.

Mannn Best Buy and I think a few other places are opening at 12 am up here...I'm tryin to resist the urge but if it comes down to it and the game is good, I might not boycott. I'm so ashamed :'(

-
Don't complain about that...you've been warned.
It was deleted for a reason. (not by me though)
-
An what reason was that? really? All i posted is what I saw on the Total Gaming Network Forums which was Feedback from the PC Players in Europe an how many complaints they made on the IW forums now did THAT require deleting?
Berzerker you notice that when you doing your custom sigs they have the option to put your country's Flag? Can you imagine fellas running round with the Trini flag as their custom sigs?? :ph34r: :ph34r:

Activision has confirmed that yet another Call of Duty title will be headed our way in 2010.
In a conference call, Activision president, Mike Griffith stated that, “In [calendar year] 2010, Activision Publishing is expected to release strong, innovative new titles,” and that “The diversified lineup will include titles based on the best selling franchises including Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, Shrek, [and] Spider-Man.”
With that said, it comes as no surprise that Activision would milk its most popular franchise, but, as for another World at War Call of Duty title, Activision hasn’t revealed any details about the next Call of Duty title, or if it’s a sequel to World at War.
-
It's not. why do everyone keep saying that without reading the article carefully??
Treyarch said that World at War was the final Call of Duty to deal with the Second World War right now they are trying to get music from the 60's 70's and 80's for the new installment an the setting is during the Cold War so maybe it will be Vietnam.
-
pleaseeee be vietnam....

I did not delete your post, why would you think that? I do not know who deleted it. Relax, no need to call people idiots.

Well COD7 could also deal with more than one military conflict. One rumor was that Cuba will be one of the locales in the game, i'll try to find the link for the article.
*edit: here's the link http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3174041 (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3174041)

The Bay of Pigs invasion? The Cuban Missile Crisis? PLEASE PLEASE LET IT BE VIETNAM!!!
-
Yea, so I played the first two missions, reach the No Russians one which seems to be the infamous airport scene.
Just like MW, just more epic winnage ftw. PLEASEEEEEEE tell me this game not gonna suck in mp.
-
SP or MP?
-
sp
-
but arent you playing the Single Player(SP)? Its the Multiplayer you have to try an see if it doesnt suck
-
my bad.Im playing the single player. I hope the mp doesnt suck too hard.
*Edit*
Four hours in, im on Day 5 playing on the "Hardened" difficulty. VERY VERY nice so far.
-
In case anyone is wondering WHY I moved it, I figured it better than starting a console version of the thread also seeing as the console owners also contributed alot to this thread. That being said, I have it, i've played it and so far this is my impression:
Matchmaking has improved
Latencies have improved
Game plays smoother than MW and WAW
Visuals have surpassed the previous encarnations
Online play is EXCELLENT
Storyline is EXCELLENT
Still to play Spec OP and see the Nuke, but that will all come in time.
-
Good to see you people actually paid to 'enjoy' COD4 v2.0. You have ensured that the next COD game will be
CONSOLE ONLY.
I'm still happily playing v1.7....on dedicated servers I might add. :)
-
soon you to will be sipping on the cool-aid from a blue dixie cup Arcman.

Steups I was trying to hold out until after exams to buy this game but yuh making it hard to resist. Sounds like it full of win.
Anyone else playing it online? Let us know what you think.
-
Before I address this let me re-quote:
Well then, from now (until the game launch and then give a few days for teething issues) no more arguing over this game. All information shall be related to game features, promos and other such info. NOT I doh like this and that is crap.
Your post was taken from a pratical zero day opinion from a community already distraught over losing functionality and though i've even come to agree they are shafting the PC comm, you made reference to an article posted the day BEFORE the game was released world wide and a post at 1am the day of release.
Quite frankly I am fed up of your ranting and raving about this issue and I deleted your post cause it's a poor reflection of the overall experience of the game. Also you'll notice this thread has become a GAME thread and not just the PC version, hence all the console input is and always imho valid and so far from a FIRST hand experience this game is even more SOLID than the last.
Lastly not 1 but 2 mods have come to question your behaviour and name calling, this is your LAST warning, be respectful PARTICULARLY to staff and try to contribute postively as well not just negatively. IF you have an issue with the moderation of the site send a PM to an admin, if you think certain staff are treating you unfairly then PM another Admin or mod.
-
BEFORE the game was released world wide
Did you even ASK about the article or how they even got it? NO. If you did I would have told you that some European retail stores accidentally released the game before the actual release date. Hell even Gamestop said they got the green light to sell the game early from Activision but in the end they never got the permission and lied.
The second part of the post you wrongfully deleted showed one of the Norwegian players who acquired a legal copy of MW2 and decided to stream it online and now his account is suspended for 24 hours. So here is a tip INSTEAD of deleting at least Reply or inquire an NOT jump to conclusions which you seem to enjoy doing.
-
And you seem to think disrespecting staff is ok. You've been warned end of discussion.
-
.......anyways
I will be getting that mayhem tomorrow and should be on Friday evening and Saturday evening playing that winnage on Live....any takers?
Arcman - you know you want to...LOL
MW2 = My New Hoss! HAHAHAHA
-
Hehe I sure Arc is calculating it :p
"Arcman's theorem:(great gameplay)x(outstanding graphics)+(superb game engine)/(nuff guns & explosions)=MEH NEW HOSS, which is also = ?"
-
wouldnt be surprised if Arcman sticks with Red Faction Guerilla till IW gets their heads out their arses an make a dedicated server patch. Im sticking with COD4 and World at War till they do.

Well keep wishing, cause IW will not be patching MW2 to give the whiners what they want...cracked servers and mods for pirated copies...They will not cave to the requests of the minority. Accept it and move on...
-
wait why cant they patch it in? Why shouldnt they patch it in? were suppose to end up like y'all? playing a clear console port to the PC? get real youth.
-
You really need to stop the bitching and moaning. Just do like you said and play your cod4 and waw.

First of all, thanks for the compliment, that someone 6 years your senior can be called a "youth"...
Second of all, bitching and moaning like RB just pointed out will not help IW patch MW2 for dedicated server support because they are all in hawaii spending the millions they just made in the UK as within the first 24 hours has sold 1.23 million copies of MW2, the UK ALONE in 24 hours....
Thirdly, you can go play COD 4 and WaW on the dedicated servers while the rest of us enjoy playing a GREAT game on PC and Consoles...K.....Thanks....bye.....

fine old man

Reaper my boy...just let it go. Its easier than you think.
If you had a console it would be easier to overlook this game. I have, at least for
competitive online play.
*wonders if there is LAN play*
Borderlands will fill the void for now, and there's lots of other games that I never finished.
I still have my good ol Battlefield 2/2142 standbys for my online MP fix...and of course COD4.
I'll get by. It'll be hard, because the online MP is where MW2 has its greatest draw, but as I said,
if I could have isolated myself from the Halo storm, I could also let this one pass over me.
IW has made their choice, and so I've made mine. Thats the THREE versions too eh.
I happy that I didn't contribute to those millions. I like paying to bull, not paying to get bull. :)
Once allyuh don't completely abandon COD4, and ALL the other MP shooters that we would have purchased
in the past, then you will still see me online.
-
Well Arc actually throw in the towel completely. Gameplay on this motha seems to be SOOOO epic that I MIGHT just eat my words and buy it, BUT, I HAVE to get some feedback as to how the experience goes.
Cpt waits on the early adopters' feedback*

+1, thanks for that vid. It really is like the console version for multi... i'm neutral at this point whether to buy the game or not. After i play the single player i'll see waddup.
hmm, i do wonder if there's lan play...
-
there is lan play, sort of, but u need to be connected to steam to play it.
http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1021509 (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1021509)
the steam forums got a lot of people's opinions on the gameplay, it doesnt seem as broken as Id of thought and its the top seller on steam atm
...go figure.

nlanfu
quoted from the site concerning lan:
The answer is a sort of yes but you'll still need internet access.
Everyone starts MW2->Private match->invite your lan group. One person on the LAN will be the host and your router automatically keeps the packets in house for lag free, sort of LAN play.

Would any kind of internet access do? Say you only had dialup or some small blink package, do u think this would affect lan performance in any way?

good question Woodyear. -waits for reply-
What the hell!!?!?! The game only come out yesterday an this out already? They dont waste time an seeing that it aint the PS3 or 360 cause you would notice the pad at the bottom right corner this have to be for PC.

Still playing through the single player campaign, and enjoying it quite well. Haven't finished it yet as me and a friend have been tackling the Spec Ops missions...getting 3 stars on some of them take quite the effort, but they're totally worth it :)
Who else have it on the 360? We should link up for some MP at some point. I know w1ntry has it...any other takers?

pc.
Not a good sign AT ALL.

So regarding Xbox 360.
Infinity ward said via Twitter that Microsoft banned up to one million live accounts. Another hard lash against piracy there.
Yea apparently IW and Sony didn't realize how big this was gonna be on ps3 so soon.
They added servers yesterday, released two patches and well Psn has gone sorta out of sync. Too many connections causing the party system to not work and people appearing offline when they are online lol.
A word on p2p lag. Thus far I think out of 40games or so, got bothersome lag in about 6 games. So that's a pretty good estimate I think that pc users will get also.

Early data is in and the confirmation that Modern Warfare 2 will become the fastest-selling game of all time isn't a big suprise in itself, but the margin with which it looks to take the record is astounding.
VGChartz preliminary day one figures puts the sales to date (including the midnight launches) at over 7 million copies worldwide across Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Around 55% of sales are on Xbox 360, 33% on PS3 and the remaining 12% on PC. In terms of regional breakdowns, over 4.2 million units were sold in the Americas (3.7 million USA), 1.2 million in the UK and 350,000 each in France and Germany.
Based on the day one figures and the Tuesday release, week one figures should come in at close to ten million units which smashes the 5.92 million week one record set by Grand Theft Auto 4 last year and positions Modern Warfare 2 as the most successful game launch of all time.
In fact, even on a single format (Xbox 360), week one sales are projected to come in at around 5.5 million units - this alone is enough to be the fastest-seller of all time, even without the PS3 and PC versions
-
pc.
Not a good sign AT ALL.
*Sigh* :(
-
wow @ those sales figures.
shakes head @ PC's 12%. The king is dead, long live the king.
Kudos to IW's marketing team and the devs. Success well deserved.

Nah boy I cant help but laugh yes lawd, the man call in a care package an didnt even bother to collect it, then he RUN PASS IT! The man is real jokes oui they better read the manual carefully next time.
But the aimbot an hack vids worry me, if they can go this long imagine if they infiltrate nearly every server an IW.net wont be able to kick them out?
-
Oh well, I guess that settles it now. PC sales at 12% of total sales worldwide thus far?
I think we may be looking at a paradigm shift here for the Call Of Duty series.
Based on those figures, Activision now have a legit reason to presssure IW to abandon PC development
for this series altogether.
...and we've seen that no matter how loud your 'voice' gets in opposition, we the 'minority' and 'insular community'
can't affect jack $#!t when a dev/pub is only concerned about their bottom line.
I'll echo Wyatt's sentiments and also give kudos to IW's marketing strategy team. They have proven
that you can get console gamers to buy into anything, at the expense of other platforms. The fact
that a 'Prestige Edition' exists for consoles only is testament to this.
As far as most console gamers are concerned 'me eh care, it runnin bess on Xbox Live', its a non-issue, so thats that.
As a console gamer myself, I should not have a problem with this, but right now there's just an empty
hole in my heart where MW2 should have been. Redlum my boy, you were right. Tell your sister...you were RIIIIIIIIIGHT. (lol)
I put it to you now that those sales figures have sounded a death-knell for the future of COD on the PC.
We may probably see one more game, just as a 'side project'.
Infinity Ward...its been great. Be seein ya.
-
seeeeeeeeeeee saving sheckles for borderlands 2 then
and the other great pc titles like mass effect 2 that they deign to drop on us
-
Bad Company 2, Command & Conquer 4 and The Old Republic is on my watch list.
Thanks for the memories IW time to look forward to Call of Duty 7.
-
VIVA la COD MW2 on the XBOX!!! Did I say this game WIN? EPIC WIN? my experience thus far has been EXCELLENT, better than MW. Graphics and environments are great and the online experience is pretty damn good so far. I've only seen lag in 1-2 games out of at least 50+ that i've played. And i've seen no appreciable advantage to being host unless you're already a BEAST on, then host prolly adds 3% advantage against equally skilled players.
It is unfortunate that the PC version has suffered so much loss... I mean no graphics properties... that is unforgiveable... but hey if ur on the PC move along nothing to see here, if you're on the console particularly the Xbox WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN.
-
Wait, what do u mean by no graphics properties?
-
Wait, what do u mean by no graphics properties?
I think he means the ability to adjust certain graphics options such as FOV etc.
W1ntry as for Modern Warfare 2, console gamers have been using this matchmaking technology for a few years with games such as the original modern warfare, halo, gears 2 etc. I took it as a given modern warfare 2 would perform just as good :p

no mouse and keyboard? no worries im pretty sure it wud support it if not there is always the SFX dual frag Pro :happy0203:

I am liking that PS3 setup the more I look at it. I just wish it could integrate
a keyboard somehow.
So you can't adjust graphics settings in the PC version...not really a big deal for me,
but you need an internet connection for lan play...

Yeah is a hassle but at least internet penetration is much higher these days. Is it just one pc needed to authenticate online when on the lan?

errm who said u cyar adjust graphical settings?
and that lan issue...is being worked on...

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Review
It's set to be one of the biggest selling games of all time. Is it one of the greatest?
November 10, 2009 - Over the years the Call of Duty series has set the bar for immersive, action-packed, cinematic FPS gaming, and no matter what camp you're from there's no denying the franchise's influence on the industry. When Infinity Ward moved from the classic World War II setting and blazed new ground with Modern Warfare we saw the first obvious split within the world of Call of Duty. The series dropped its historic focus, created a new cast of characters, and began treading on new ground by taking the first-person shooter genre to new locales, and pushing the boundaries of what military games are willing to show. With Modern Warfare 2, the sheer amount of hype has been practically inescapable, with preorders alone setting it up as one of the biggest selling games of all time, the addition of even more multiplayer modes and features, and the game's new Special Operations mode has set Infinity Ward's lastest up as the game to beat this year.
The real question: has it been worth the wait, and can Modern Warfare 2 live up to the precedent set by over half a decade of Call of Duty tradition?
-
Is it one of the greatest?
YES
-
Blizzard is doing it for SC2, so this isn't something new, just new in the particular game.
Get your facts straight on that eh...SC2 will have NO lan play at all.
I didn't mind when they took out lan play from Battlefield 2142. The maps were so large,
that playing them in a lan environment just wouldn't work, unless you could somehow get
30 people in a room somewhere. In the context of MW2's gameplay and map size, this is
yet another bull$#!t move by IW.
There goes yet another feature that makes PC gaming great.
Wow...progress iwmc.

Doesn't MW2 have Lan play?
-
Yeah I think it does, there is a Lan Party option on the Main Menu.
-
Ah...but all players need Steam connected accounts to play in said LAN. Not cool.
Imagine this review (http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2009/11/dancing-with-the-devil-ars-reviews-modern-warfare-2-pc.ars/2) actually says to skip the PC version. I thought it was just me. :)

yea I read that article also good read -back to listening to the Trans Siberian Orchestra-
-
Again, all to combat piracy... you're right SC2 doesn't support LAN... even BIGGER EPIC FAIL... I doh see yuh bawling down blizzard and pelting rotten eggs at them for this. And in ACTUALITY, what they are doing is something I suggested on this VERY forum. Allow LAN play but with an identification process linked to steam. Heck to play HL2 I had to connect to steam and that was freaking SINGLE PLAYER... O_O so again how is this different arc?

............people still complaining.........
Oh gorm Arcman, leave it be, you made your point, you not giving your money to IW and Activision....someone CLOSE THE THREAD!!!! Allyuh just going in circles....

TAKE WIN!!!
Also I am seriously considering locking seeing as the pic depicts.... the hatemail is surely beating a dead horse. But I think ppl should be allowed their 2c (for now) if they still beating it in a week, i'll either lock or 'strongly suggest' only ppl who OWN or have played/playing the game even bother to post.
-
how alyuh go wah stop men from bad talking a game?
you go stop ah man from good talking a game>?
-
If all a man does is bad talk a game he/she doesn't play, doesn't own and never will, whats the point? their input is about as useful as a cock flavoured lollipop. Posting articles, reviews good or bad is fine but if that's ALL you do, then move on, leave the thread to ppl that actually want to discuss their experience with the game. I said everyone deserves a 2c, but beating a dead horse for beating it sake? that's tantamount to SPAM.
-
Fair enough...but who's complaining?
The innanets speaks for itself.
If you can't handle the truth Redlum...well...
I consider you as 'one of meh hoss', so I respect your sentiments. Try to understand my angst.
I aint complain about SC2 because I never played ANY SC game. Don't even like the genre.
If I did, and all I played was lan, I wouldn't be buying that either. Weren't there protests and
petitions raised against THAT game as well?
So if I play it...can I then continue to 'bad talk' it?
I may not always like someone's opinion, but once it aint cross the line, I certainly won't stop them from expressing it.
At least give me that respect.
...and Neph...that horse aint dead yet, but it getting there. :)

Its not that I don't understand your angst, I do...
Its just that you haven't played it, so bad talking it seems a bit much. At least try it and see nah man, Capn Awesome already tried the single player and apparently has changed his tune a little bit and is appreciating the SP campaign for what it is, and that is full of Epic Winnage! MP leaves more to be desired yes, but why deprive yourself of some Epic Winnage!
You know you too are one of my hoss, and I respect your opinion and I know you do mine, so all i ask is that you "try" it nah man, then bad talk it...K? :)

Arc, yuh KNOW yuh WANT to touc... I mean play it XD
Try it yuh go like it!

It not costing pc gamers anything to try the single player. Regardless of how f'd up the multi is, i not depriving myself of epic sp winnage. To do so is to deny the very thing that make us gamers.
I mean, it sooo good, i'd buy it JUST because of its quality, just sp alone DEFINITELY not worth $60us.
Now for the lambasting part...
The jury is still out on the MP. My main concerns are the foll..
1) The inability to play against people of your choosing thing is a bummer. If one clan wanna play against another clan/team, how the hell that working?
2) Lack of community maps. What go happen when (inevitably) people get fedup of the default maps? Wait for a map pack every 3 months to get a new map?
3) Lag
So allyuh not allowing community maps, then allyuh HAVE to pick up the slack. YOU have to release maps regularly (a hell of a lot faster than they did with MW1). Same old maps get real boring real quick.
IF just those three things can be addressed, i'd walk down to games plus NOW and pick it up.
PS: Still awaiting word from PC gamers on this forum who bought the game legit to share their online experience.

For Clan games there's the private match option where you can invite people presumably the stream friends into a lobby for what ever game you want.
There's the party system where before matchmaking you can invite people into your party, and join a game with the party on the same team.
The party will remain persistent as you all play.
For local games, private matches will be fine because the local latency isn't overseas latency. You'll still be able to sweat MW2 as if you connected to a dedicated server.
A next thing, say 6 men from GATT party up and join the matchmaking, odds are one of the Trini players are gonna be the host (10mb flow) and such. That said all the GATT people will have very very good ping and overseas players will have a litte more latency.

maybe 9 men per team is like ZOMG SO MUCH for console men but steupssssssssss @ that for pc players eh.
THe only reason the game may not lag to much initially is because is only a max of 18 man in game although you could still get retarded lag with just two men, like in sf.

Anyone else playing the pc multiplayer yet?

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2009/11/dancing-with-the-devil-ars-reviews-modern-warfare-2-pc.ars (http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2009/11/dancing-with-the-devil-ars-reviews-modern-warfare-2-pc.ars)
It's a tricky thing to be a PC gamer who wants to play Modern Warfare 2. We weren't sure we'd get an advance copy from Activision, so we went to a local game store and put our money down to make sure there would be a copy waiting for us on launch day. (If we complain about preorders in the future, be sure to point out this hypocrisy.) When I went to pick up the game, the store manager let me know that I was the number four pre-order for the PC version of the game. He then told me he had over 400 orders for the Xbox 360 version.
It's hardly a scientific poll, but when one version of the game outsells the other 100 to 1, it's hard to feel like you're part of a demographic the publisher is going to listen to. When the time came to pick up the game, the clerk couldn't find it. It was tucked away in the back, with no display, and I was the first person who came in to get their copy. No PC gamers attended the midnight launch. I was asked, more than once, if I was sure I wanted this version. Even if you bought on Steam, you have to wait until November 13 to play it, which is weird since the game uses Steamworks copy protection and requires a Steam account to play. It seems retail was cut a break on this one.
The game is $60, which is $10 more than PC games usually cost. Without any licensing fees on the PC, publishers usually price the game slightly lower than its console counterpart. Activision decided to simply take the larger profit margin. There will be no dedicated servers, and you know the rest of our beefs with the PC version of the game. This is a game by a company that doesn't seem to care about PC gaming anymore, and the community has responded with boycotts and threats of piracy and other such nonsense.
Here's the problem with all the righteous indignation: it's about servers and politics and feeling important, not the actual game printed on the disc. That's what we'll be looking at today.
Once you start up the title, it becomes very apparent that you're dealing with what appears to be a direct port of the console versions of the game: there isn't even a menu to adjust your mouse settings on the title screen. You have to enter the game and hit escape before you can tweak the settings.
The game begins by asking if you'd like to be asked to skip a mission "some players may find disturbing or offensive." We're told this won't affect game completion, it will simply give us the option of skipping that content later in the game. I chose yes, just so the game will tell me what I might be offended by. Wouldn't want to miss it! I'll get into it a bit further down in the review, but if you're squeamish, or don't handle this sort of thing well, this may not be the game for you. There is no flinching from graphic violence or complex issues.
Of course, any game with a thrilling snowmobile chase where you fire an automatic handgun gangsta-style probably isn't the most politically aware creature on the market, and the sobering moments are mixed with Rambo-style theatrics. It can be jarring.
It can also be hard. A few bullets is more than enough to take you down, although by simply avoiding fire for a few minutes you'll heal all your wounds. Your screen will often by filled with your own blood, however, which can sometimes make you feel like something of a bullet sponge. Keep moving, look above and below you at all times, and always stay as aware as possible. If you try to rush these missions, you'll be stuck replaying the same segment over and over as you get shot to pieces.
The game is intense, almost numbingly so. You'll try your hand at firing an impressive array of weapons, you'll remember that survival is by no means guaranteed, and you'll be treated to a few vehicle segments that break up the action nicely without overstaying their welcome. The story, involving invasions and double-agents (or are they triple-agents?!?) and all sorts of over-the-top intrigue, can easily be ignored. You've played war games before, but the Modern Warfare world is dominated by quotes by Dick Cheney and Nathan Hale, and every character in the game thinks that problems are just one dead soldier or razed capital away from being fixed.
The graphics are strong, with many striking images throughout that I won't discuss for the obvious reasons. There aren't many innovations in the single-player game; the HUD is self-explanatory, the controls all make sense if you've played other FPS titles, and you'll know what to do with each item from the impressive array of weaponry. There is now a graphical indication on the screen of where to go next and how far away the section is, and the game autosaves often; you'll rarely be sent very far backward when you die. What makes the Modern Warfare series stand out is the heavy scripting, precise action, and unflinching look at this idea of war. If the first game made you squirm, you haven't seen anything yet.
It's a violent, one-dimensional world where might makes right, and the atmosphere is oppressive. All of these design decisions work together to create a compelling, blood-soaked setting. The campaign moves along at a breathless pace, and by the time you've put the seven hours or so into the game that it takes to see the credits your ears will be ringing and your shoulder may feel a little bruised by the idea of all those virtual guns being fired relentlessly.
This isn't a game that glorifies violence—situations and characters such as this aren't attractive—it's a game that overloads you with it. You'll be asked to take part in some repugnant things, and many of the peripheral details will stick with you. You'll want to talk about the single-player campaign long after it's done, and it's clear that people are going to have strong opinions one way or the other.
How do we feel about the controversial segment where you become part of a terrorist act? It's hard to watch. The actual mission that has gained all this controversy is, in all honesty, pretty shocking stuff. The game slows down; you can't run. You have to walk slowly through the scene, watching innocents gunned down. They scream. They try to crawl away. They hold their wounds and moan. You can pull the trigger, or you can just watch. But you're holding a gun—you're a part of this. If you decide not to play this mission, you get a cut-scene. Why is this section of the game playable? What does it add? That's a huge question, with many different answers. I'm not saying the section makes the game better, but it certainly will get people talking. But, yes: it is just as bad as people are saying, and just as hard to take.
Am I glad I played the game? Yes. Can I see myself replaying it? Maybe not. It's satisfying to step into the shoes of people who are so uncompromising, and the game is brilliant at creating the feeling of moral vacuum, but it's not exactly a feeling that's comfortable, or even fun. During many scenes, I found myself simply emptying clips into houses, knowing there could be innocents inside. Why not? I was trying to survive, and in the thick of things it was hard to tell civilians from soldiers. Yes, it's just a game, and these are just pixels on a screen, but pixels and actions are enough to create a powerful emotional reaction.
This is very impressive stuff, not in terms of storytelling exactly, but as a tone poem about warfare. For those buying the game only for the single-player, they will most likely walk away from the game a little sooner than they hoped, but satisfied nonetheless.
Multiplayer
This is what made PC gamers upset, and I have to say, they have reason to be. The game maxes out at 18 players—nine vs. nine—and instead of relying on dedicated servers, the game randomly assigns one of the players as the server during the match-making process.
It's like Xbox Live invaded your PC. This system is fine for consoles, but computer gamers aren't used to this lack of control over their experience. There is no way to decide who hosts the game, and there is no way to keep yourself from hosting if the system decides you're the best choice. You don't even see your ping, just how many bars you have showing the strength of your connection. That's frustrating when you're used to being able to see your specific ping.
If you want to play with your friends without "pubbies," you have to set up a private match, and, again, one of you will be selected to host the game. If that player quits, the game will pause for five seconds while another player is selected to serve as host. There is no way to upload maps, there is no way to modify the game outside of what the menu allows, and of course there is no console to tweak anything. It's odd to hit the tilde button and have nothing happen. Unless they change this system extensively, it doesn't seem like custom maps will be possible.
It's frustrating to feel so controlled and boxed in, but the game itself remains fun. You'll be leveling up and unlocking new weapons and perks, and the expanded Killstreak bonuses add a whole new level to the game. With just three kills in a row you'll be able to check out enemy positions using an unmanned vehicle; with 25 kills in a row you can drop a nuke and kill everyone on the board. In between those two options are 13 other bonuses that can turn the tide of battle rather quickly. There are also bonuses given if you die too often, which is a nice way to keep demoralized players from rage-quitting, but can make you feel... somewhat special.
The game ships with 16 maps, and eight game modes from Free-For-All to Demolition. You'll see Capture the Flag, Sabotage, Domination; these are all modes you've played before, but the sheer variety provides a great deal of replay value. The ability to level up and create a more powerful character through Perks and weapons also gives you more reason to stick with the game; earning points by killing people online can get very addictive very quickly. Thankfully, grenade spam does not to seem to have taken hold in the games I've been playing.
You'll be able to see who killed you and how via the kill cam, and everyone on the server gets to watch the last kill of the match, which can be a funny experience if something spectacular happened. Also, with the proper practice, riot shields used correctly can open some interesting doors. The person holding the shield can't fire, but can provide moving cover for someone else and bash people directly in front of them. In case you were bored with all the stuff you could unlock in the first Modern Warfare, you're in luck: there are more guns, more perks, more modifications to the weapons; you'll be grinding away happily for a long, long time.
There are also online playlists, such as 3rd Person Teams, that are only unlocked as you gain levels. If you were addicted to the online play of the original Modern Warfare, you'll find a lot to love here, and I have to admit I've been having a good time getting my ass kicked by 13-year-olds online. The problem is, quite simply, lag. Every time I get into a multiplayer game on the PC I find a few good servers where my ping is low, and make them my favorites. Here, there is no way to do that, and every game is going to have differing amounts of lag. Since the host changes so often, there is no way to make sure you get a consistent experience. This is what we'll miss with dedicated servers.
Without being able to set up a LAN or run a server with your own settings, the possibility of this game being embraced by competitive gamers is basically zero. Infinity Ward wants to bring the console online experience to the PC, and it certainly did that. The problem is that it comes with a host of problems that PC gamers are, understandably, upset about having to endure.
Are these things deal-breakers? That's up to you. Any complaints will probably fall on deaf ears, however, as the PC sales will be fraction of what the game enjoys on the consoles. The PC version of the game isn't bad. I only ran into one crash that I couldn't reproduce, the graphics look beautiful if you have a high-end system, and the mouse and keyboard are a much better way to control the game... it's simply the multiplayer system which is so unsatisfactory.
Special Ops
If you're looking for a more intimate online experience, the Special Ops missions are your answer. Invite a friend (the game notes that the player with the fastest CPU should host) and you take on a series of different challenges.
You'll be clearing the path for your friend from an elevated position, sniping targets, clearing out open areas and trying not to hit civilians; these are short blasts of gameplay that stress speed, precision, and teamwork. You'll need to communicate to earn the maximum number of stars, and your skills will certainly be put to the test.
These missions may seem like an afterthought between the single-player game and the wider multiplayer offerings, but with a good friend they are a surprising amount of fun. Many people are complaining about the short length of the single-player game, and the Special Ops missions certainly add a number of hours to the game. How many? That depends on how much of a perfectionist you are.
In conclusion
The early reviews of this game were conducted at a hotel under Activision's supervision, using the console version of the game. The launch party in New York featured the 360 version of the game. We were sent the Prestige Edition of the game the day of release for coverage. Very few people at the company seem to care that yes, there is a PC port of the game.
Well, we care, dammit. Call of Duty came from the PC gaming scene, and it was there that it was popularized. Yes, consoles are now the dominant form of gaming from a financial standpoint, but it's sad to see a game that has such a rich history on our favorite platform feel so neglected in its newest incarnation. The port of the single-player campaign is strong; the game looks, plays, and feels incredible on a capable gaming PC. The Special Ops missions are perfect if you're in the mood for a teeny-tiny LAN party (although of course you'll both need Steam accounts to play), but the multiplayer offerings feel like Infinity Ward is trying to cram a round peg into a square hole.
It's not what we're used to, it's not what we want, and the changes made to the online matchmaking set-up and lack of dedicated servers negatively change the online experience. It's just that simple.
There is no easy verdict here, but I'm going to say skip the PC version. Why? The single-player is over quickly. The Special Ops missions are great but there are better co-op games out there. The multiplayer is going to be huge on consoles, but on the PC it's just crippled. There is a lot of fun to be had here, but there are way better ways to spend your money, especially with the $60 price.
The Good
* Strong, disturbing single-player game
* Looks, plays great on the PC
* Killstreaks in multiplayer are a great addition
* Online play is still addictive
* Good selection of maps and game modes
* Special Ops missions extend the life of the game, great with a friend online
The Bad
* Single-player is over quickly
* The actual story is a little bit on the paranoid, gun-porn side of things
* Console-style online play on the PC
* $60 for a PC release? No thanks, guys
* Both the company and retailers barely seems to care about the PC version
The Ugly
* Huge design problems with the multiplayer version
* The game is already in the expected places. PC gamers will feel spurned and pirate, and Activision will claim they don't support the PC better because of piracy
Verdict: Skip

Activision CEO reaps $20.2 million in three-day stock sale
By Tor Thorsen, GameSpot
Posted Nov 12, 2009 3:13 pm PT
Modern Warfare 2 launch window sees Bobby Kotick exercise nearly 2 million stock options for $1.99 million--which he immediately sells for $22.2 million.
Today, Activision basked in the glory that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 had the biggest launch in entertainment history. November 10 saw the Infinity Ward-developed shooter sell a staggering 4.7 million copies in the US, UK, and Canada, generating $310 million in just 24 hours. Dollar-wise, that's as much as Grand Theft Auto did worldwide on day one in 2008, and as much as Halo 3 reaped in its first week globally in 2007.
Unsurprisingly, nobody basked more in Modern Warfare 2's success than Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick. According to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing made today, the outspoken executive used the occasion to exercise nearly 2 million stock options that had vested in 2000--eight years before Activision merged with Vivendi Games to form Activision Blizzard. Kotick took over Activision in 1991, shortly before it filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Given that at the turn of the century Activision was nowhere near being the world's largest third-party publisher, the strike price for each share Kotick exercised was a low $1.03. With the new company flying high on last week's better-than-expected July-September earnings report, Kotick reaped an impressive windfall by selling nearly 2 million shares at prices between $11.43 and $11.51 per share from November 9 to November 11.
The result? Minus the nearly $2 million strike price, the executive cleared nearly $20.2 million in just three days. The figure comes atop his normal compensation package, which totaled $14.95 million in 2008, according to Forbes magazine. Following the sale, Kotick still retained 3,109,729 shares of Activision Blizzard, which ended trading today at $11.44--making said shares worth $35,575,300.
he just loled all over that review with a 20 million dollar cheque
-
excellent review, nice find arc and woody.
I'll agree with Activision's take....the sales figures once again, speaks for themselves.
Console sales are wtfpwning the PC, period.
It's easy to predict more step child treatment like this to come unless Steam can make a radical impact on legitimate sales for our beloved platform.
-
Waaaaay...talk about 'laughing all the way to the bank'.
...and to those who bought it, well, when Activision decides to
whip the snake out and give it to their customers again with some OTHER game
that they publish, remember this day.
-
Oh, I posted that same review here (http://www.carigamers.com/cms/forums/index.php/topic,15774.msg225881.html#msg225881), and men say I 'beating a dead horse'.

My bad, did not notice it was posted before. As I said before it was advisable to wait and see. Now that the game is available and the verdict is out about the online play for PC we can all skip this title.
The matchmaking works on the consoles and thus it is selling like hot bread hehe.
I think the real question here is not about Modern Warfare 2, but how will future games on the PC platform be treated. Will more games have a similar online setup in the next few years?

Men real bitter dread... aren't all the alternatives out there giving you enough love for you to just say Fiah and walk away? XD
The console (majority community) is enjoying this title immensely and Arc would you be upset if the makers of a game YOU personally enjoy... say borderlands was laughing all the way to the bank on PC sales but say the console community was upset over some problems they were having?
It's all relative. I don't see them royally screwing over the console community anytime soon and as such I don't see that day coming or the need to remember this one. If they fudge up the next release, they'll pay. As it stands they aren't 'paying' that much for royally buggering the PC gamers, but then that's cause that's a much smaller pie.
So, i'm @ lvl 20 and liking mehself, anyone get a nuke yet?
Also any Online PC gamers?

Anya IS a pun!
I think PC gamers should start thinking about other developers will react when they compare the sales figures, not everyone is gonna take the Battlefield Bad Company approach, chances are some of them may say: "for get the PC platform period, cuz look where the money coming from!"
Yup the whole MW2 fiasco is evidence of that indeed.

Oh, you can BET them others watching this closely, and probably already made their decision
for their next big IP.
Don't be surprised if MW3 turns out to be console only.
Whats significant here is that is only one person bought it for PC thus far. That should say something.
-
good point laertes, arc and woody
with the current sales figures being what they are, piracy has officially wyatted the PC platform.
Nothing but a small miracle to bring us back from this one.
If you don't have one already, start saving for a console and a keyboard/mouse adapter. lol
On the plus side, the next generation of consoles will definitely bridge the gap between both platforms anyway. Making the point moot. The PS3 and 360 is easily more powerful than 80% of the PCs on the island.

Things might be looking up. This IWnet workaround (http://www.modernwarfail2.com/2009/11/14/teknomw2-1-0-modern-warfare-2-multiplayer-loader/) is for the legit Steam version of the game though.

Ok I ended up taking the dive for the pc...
Results? no lag whatsoever, i literally mean none. played 12+ games, team deathmatch, captured the flag, search and destroy..
had 2 host migrations throughout...(i counted em exactly)
no hacks (that i knew of)
and although i was just 'testing' the time flew from 1am - 5 am, and it honestly felt like half that time, I was like WDA DAS THE TIME?
so yea it might of been one good night...but what a night indeed... :awesome:
thats my 2 cents so far..hatta test the spec ops.

Well, thats encouraging to hear, but I'm willing to bet that Flow users won't have much issues.
...and to respond to an earlier post W1nTry made:
Of COURSE I'm bitter. I don't believe IW 'owes' me anything just because I bought and played
their games. It has nothing to do with that, but consider the kind of money I spent over the last
10 months or so 'prepping' my PC for the onslaught of the new wave of games for 2009 which I intended
to BUY, and the dev of the game I'm most looking forward to BUYING pulls the rug out from under my expectations...
I have a right to be bitter.
Men real bitter dread... aren't all the alternatives out there giving you enough love for you to just say Fiah and walk away? XD
This is easier to say than to do. You practically ran out and bought it, right?
The console (majority community) is enjoying this title immensely and Arc would you be upset if the makers of a game YOU personally enjoy... say borderlands was laughing all the way to the bank on PC sales but say the console community was upset over some problems they were having?
Of course I wouldn't be upset, because I have a choice of which platform to play it on, and the PC version just happens to be the better one anyway. :)
It's all relative. I don't see them royally screwing over the console community anytime soon and as such I don't see that day coming or the need to remember this one. If they fudge up the next release, they'll pay. As it stands they aren't 'paying' that much for royally buggering the PC gamers, but then that's cause that's a much smaller pie.
You say this now, but I once heard it said that 'history is the best teacher'. This makes me think of a quote from Blade 2, when Damaskinos (the old vampire) says to Blade: "...once they are finished with us, who do you think they'll turn against next? Your precious humans. Not one of them will be left".
Consider that.
Mark my words...they will come for you....and by 'you' I mean console gamers in general.

And should that day come arc, we'll just play something else. COD3 was RUBBISH, sure I bought it cause everyone was playing it at the time, but I learnt from that experience, even if ppl playing it, unless I get a personal review I eh go buy. True enough u could spring the money for a game and realize its RUBBISH. I still don't think IW is stupid enough to screw their cash cow, but hey yuh never know. It's not as hard for me though, if I hear a game is rubbish, no matter how much I wanted i'll find something else. Worst case, try it out by someone then cast my vote.

Ok I ended up taking the dive for the pc...
Results? no lag whatsoever, i literally mean none. played 12+ games, team deathmatch, captured the flag, search and destroy..
had 2 host migrations throughout...(i counted em exactly)
no hacks (that i knew of)
and although i was just 'testing' the time flew from 1am - 5 am, and it honestly felt like half that time, I was like WDA DAS THE TIME?
so yea it might of been one good night...but what a night indeed... :awesome:
thats my 2 cents so far..hatta test the spec ops.
Glad to hear you have had a positive experience online with the PC version. Yuh playin via Steam right?
-
yup at steam, only way to play it legit.
my bars arent what they were last night, but im yet to expereince any real lag. played cod 4 a few hours before i got this and believe it or not modern warfare 2 was running better, signifigantly so. might just be a fluke for now but it was noticable.
level 17 atm, and loving it...still en sleep oui..
-
I bought it ok? I caved. I am a big fat traitor. STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT!! Arc, you are a better man than I oui. One day i'll grow up to be like you.

how can they look at you like that? were they there when you bought the game to give you the EVIL EYE?
I still fighting it Arc wha bout you?
Hmm it seems the first MW2 PC tournament did not go well as planned.

Are you on Flow or Blink?
-
He's on flow. He cant reply himself because he currently beasting MW2 and so sleep deprived that he cant see text...only guns, enemies and care packages.
-
^lmao
well I so proud of you guys who make the jump :)
Happy too so when I spring for the pc version later on I'll run some sweats with allyuh.
-
He's on flow. He cant reply himself because he currently beasting MW2 and so sleep deprived that he cant see text...only guns, enemies and care packages.
Hehe I wonder if people on Blink will be as fortunate? I know that was one of Arc's concerns after having issues with Cod 4 console connections.

Yea well the game seems to run smoother than COD4 online, although we try to run a Ground WAR with nine of us last night and it was lag central on Live on the first game, we ended up just playing Private matches mostly 3rd person view hardcore team deathmatch which is REALLLLLLLLL fun....takes some getting used to the aiming since there is no crosshair till you hit someone but real fun. Feels GOW / Uncharted 2 ish....
-
I can't fault nobody for wanting to change their minds. We're only human, and if someone wants something bad enough' he WILL get it, despite its perceived 'flaws'.
My only regret is that all of you will completely abandon COD4. I saw this happen when COD4 itself came out. The PC community as a whole just gradually left all other existing MP games in its wake, and switched over.
Enjoy it people.

-
to be honest, i would like it very much if it's cross platform gaming... could connect to a larger community and save myself from buying a console... i see no problem with that.
That notice though does show that IW did just make a port from the xbox version and forgot to remove some code when they made the pc version. it will be removed from an update...lolz
@ people not playing cod4 anymore.... well jed right now hardly anyone was playing cod4 of late... jump in trini server and is only a few men sometimes... only one or two i see playing on xfire now and again... but for me, once man call sweat i dey.
who else here on the forum bought this game for pc? motivate me meng...lolz

Just finished the campaign .....its the kind of stuff that blockbuster movies are made of......Michael Bay style, just supreme uber goodnes.....unfortunately i didnt get my origianl copy from JK yet, but I having fun non the less!!!
-
I reach level 9 so far. Plenty perks etc, gameplay is nice lag is limited so far thank god. Great experience all round thus far.
-
Well BOY!!!? The SINGLE-PLAYER campaign contains levels of WIN that cannot be measured by earthly means.
So yeah...I will give IW their props for a stellar SP. They know how to craft a kick-azz SP mode.

level 25, ....perks...must get more perks...
wow @ 2 attachments on one gun...acog scope and hearbeat sensor = win
3rd person fail though. havent tried spec ops yet

So you feeling good that you sticking it out, refusing to even play the single playerto make a point. We get it. You're a better man than we are. Let's move on.
lol @ eating words. I not quite ready to eat those words as im still waiting to see how MP will stand up in the long term as more people buy the game and come onto the servers. Also how map packs and dlc goes. For the while, the experience not BESS, but certainly lives up to the Modern Warfare name.
-
YUH STILL PLAYING THE GAME NO MATTER IF YOU BOUGHT IT OR NOT!! thats why I said then there was 1
LOL...simma down now. I always said I would play it eh, just with the 'jolly roger's' assistance, thats all. :lol:

Console Versions of Modern Warfare 2 Banned in Russia
Every copy of the console version of Modern Warfare 2 has been recalled from stores in Russia due to the content of the “No Russian” mission, better known as the controversial airport massacre level. Likewise, Infinity Ward has released an official patch for the PC and Steam versions of Modern Warfare 2, entirely removing the mission from the game.
Pending validation from the Russian government, the censored console versions of the game are expected to be released within less than a month, with the mission removed.
The game’s content has raised the ire of the Russian gaming public as well as a number of politicians who object to its portrayal of Russia’s armed forces as terrorists who invade the United States and subsequently erect statues of dead terrorists in Washington D.C.
Russian gaming website GotPS3 voiced their anger over the game’s storyline, which they criticized as catering to a primarily American audience with total disregard towards other cultures, especially the Russians, whom the game depicts as terrorists.
As it is, Russian gamers who wish to play the game will have to choose from purchasing the gutted Steam version, ordering the US/EU version of Modern Warfare 2 from eBay, or waiting for an indefinite period of time for the censored version to be released, pending validation.

Was Modern Warfare 2 Really The "Biggest Launch In History"?
http://kotaku.com/5403788/was-modern-warfare-2-really-the-biggest-launch-in-history?utm_source=feedburner (http://kotaku.com/5403788/was-modern-warfare-2-really-the-biggest-launch-in-history?utm_source=feedburner)
Activision claimed yesterday that Modern Warfare 2 was the "biggest launch in history across all forms of entertainment". Not just games. All forms of entertainment. That's a big claim. Let's see if it holds up.
That means it didn't just have to be the biggest game launch of all time. It had to beat the biggest album, book and movie launches, too. Which you'd think would be no easy feat, but remember: Activision's boast rests solely on two self-imposed criteria: that the launch applies only to North America and the United Kingdom, and that it's based on the total revenue gained over those first 24 hours.
That's a little too selective for our tastes. We're going to be a little fairer, and size MW2 up not only in terms of revenue - which will always favour games, which are relatively expensive - but units sold/people entertained as well.

Well, this one isn't a surprise.
Would you believe after I played this mission last night, I went to sleep and dreamt of storming through the office...? O_O
I laugh now when I think about it, because it was just a dream, but think about when next this actually happens.
You KNOW the 'talking heads' will try to look for a psychological scapegoat to pin the perpetrator's actions on.
-
Life imitates art and art imitates life.
-
dont even know if to have an opinion on that one yes...
But i would love to see the backlash if it was some how the other way around
if EA was from russia, and had worldwide support
and released a game with americans as terrorist
that would be some interesting backlash
-
If understand this correctly, the legit version off steam will have the content removed?
So later adopters won't have the option to play it?
interesting that russians are taking offense. They've been portrayed as "baddies" in tons of movies and games over my life span. From James Bond to Van Damme movies. Why the sudden revolt?
-
terrorist is a bit strong for the russian image
id never have seen them as terrorist before
-
Maybe because its the most direct, graphic portrayal of them anyone has ever done.

http://www.gossipgamers.com/modern-warfare-2-servers-cracked-within-days-after-release/ (http://www.gossipgamers.com/modern-warfare-2-servers-cracked-within-days-after-release/)
Forget the so called feud over the no dedicated servers for Modern Warfare 2 because someone already cracked it. The so called “cracked version” can host multiplayer games out of the IWNet and also host LAN games.
The cracked MPloader from Teknogods is of course against the terms and rules by Infinity Ward somewhere, so I would suggest you use this at your own risk. However, it is reported that all rooms on the server is already full to max compacity.
I can tell you that I definitely saw this coming, but I definitely did not think it would be this fast. Oh by the way, there are already a ton of cheats in the game so Infinity Ward will be very busy these few coming weeks.
-
Noticed this on the same site....PS3 vs. 360 screenshots
Looks the same to me hehe.

Here’s batch of screenshots comparing Modern Warfare 2 on PS3 and the 360 that were taken with full RGB and Superwhite settings in 720p.
Unfortunately, for those who are still debating on which system to get the game on, these screens may not be able to shed some light as the comparisons are very similar. Screens don’t always tell the whole story, you’ll just have to wait for a comprehensive review on each console or a video comparison. It looks like you’ll have to wait another day or two before getting a better comparison. It’s definitely a job well done on Infinity Wards side so far.

I thought I have seen or read it all but then I come across this article:
Heist Nets 100 Copies of Modern Warfare 2
Conflict currency - it's not cash, but goods or valuables that are small, easily liquidated, easily smuggled. Diamonds are the classic example. We might have to add Modern Warfare 2 to the list, after what just went down in Pennsylvania.
Cops in Meadville, Pa. say a man went into a Gamestop there at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, informed the clerk he had armed help out the door who'd start shooting if anyone called police, and so therefore start handing over the merch. I like that style. The hell with this finger-in-the-jacket-pocket ****. Just let your imaginary friend be your accomplice.
The guy made off with 100 copies of MW2, plus some other items for a total cash-and-prizes value of $6,900.
I'm not sure what surprises me the most, the ballsiness of the robber, or the fact a GameStop still had 100 copies of this 19 hours after its midnight release.
Also, please tell me the "other items" were some refurbed PS2s with balky DVD drives. Please.

So yuh boy OFFICIALLY 'beta testing' the online MP too. :happy0203:
Of course I get pwned in my first match, but all dat in it. Ah now start.
IW...you FAIL!!!!
-
That hack was gonna happen sooner or later. But it looks like sooner than anyone thought.
-
So now we have the post-release petition (http://www.infinityward.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=174552). This one is a bit more sensible, when you consider the epic fail
that IW.net itself has become just inside one week.
Of course I signed it (sig #3002). Even though I'm having lots of fun beta testing, I would still buy it if it was fixed.
Your move IW.
-
signed also #3033
-
#3065 here
-
I really want to see IW'S next move. Game is incredibly fun, I cant lie,and the performance online (for me) is better than my experience had in Cod 4 and World at War. So far it isnt perfect, but its the most fun ive had in an Fps multi since the early days of Cod 4 and when I first got l4d.
I really wished to see more LOCALS jumping in on the action.So far ive had to be playing with guys from foreign countries (Bajans Canadians and some Americans) and while thats cool, what made the Cod 4 experience for me was playing with local pepes. There is an expereince to be had, and private matches allow for all the customization associated in the typical multiplayer experience, sans the normal leveling up done in matchmaking (it sucks I know)
and oh yea Spec OPs is maaaaad wicked for Co op.
Lan inclusion, mod support and dedicated server support could make this game a sure fire winner, with much needed longeivity. (just look at the mamoth that is Team Fortress eh)
As arcman said your move Iw. although I feel additions may come as pay to play Dlc.
I hope for these additions, but as it is now im enjoying it.
-
Berzerker do you think that the PC version in its current form was worth buying?
-
definite yup. im having fun with it. could understand the rage with all the ommissions which we were so accostomed to, but i took the risk and ive enjoyed it so far.
the ommission of the dedicated servers, dealt a serious blow to the community aspect of the previous games, but what ive noticed, is people are using xfire and steam to create a sort of 'alternative' means of organising sweats. and it works if people want it to work.
in all honesty i admire the bajans and how they are organisng private matches etc. its working out well for em.
the game is broken yeah, will it last? time will tell. with the recent cracked multi unlocking the console and the possibility of dedicated servers, the ball is in IW,s court for this to live on legit (via needed patching), or for the pirated version to gain some steam (stale joke)
the real bitter taste in my mouth is this pay to play dlc im hearin about...but we will see if the pc version even has the momentum to allow for that.
-
The bajans are a whole lot more serious about their gaming indeed. People were so busy bitching about this game they never considered the alternatives for getting a sweat together.
Like I was telling someone else now that these features have been "unlocked" having been there in the game already, who knows, they probably were going to announce it as part of dlc and "unlock the extra features" thereby making you pay for something that was in the game to begin with.
-
^^^ ...as yuh talk dat...
The IW fail (http://www.modernwarfail2.com/2009/11/17/unlocking-hidden-mw2-game-types/) continues...
Someone remind me why i should buy this again.....?
-
oui sah that is interesting indeed. but it obviously will be unlocked 'officially' for the pc sans the cracked issues. (price is my concern here tho)
and how long will the cracked version last?
-
Wtf.......what arseness going on dred 0_o lol
-
oui sah that is interesting indeed. but it obviously will be unlocked 'officially' for the pc. and how long will the cracked version last?
I think the issue people have is that the content is already there but you must pay to enable it. Takes the DL out of DLC lol. Dunno how long the cracked version will last though.
-
wow... sell it to you.. and then sell it to you again..
brilliant business plan
-
it isnt anything new, was done is street fighter 4, with the additional costumes. (which were in the game to begin with)
was a means for DLC for fallout 3 expansions. and its a regular thing on consoles. its up to the consumer to purchase or not. as cool as these additions are they arent anything awe inspiring imo.

True, dunno how much extra value these modes bring to the core experience anyway. It's always better to have choice however. Good to see the pc community still churning away at the MW2 code.

I want to see local dedicated servers spring forth. I may even venture a sweat XD

I want to see local dedicated servers spring forth. I may even venture a sweat XD
if IW had kept it to begin with there would have been tons of local servers wouldnt you agree?
-
Isn't it interesting how, the code for the least popular version of MW2 is so easily cracked? And now the Pc version is suddenly uberly popular?
This could go the Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising route and allow for cracked games to work fine, or a patch could drop and kill it altogether.
-

Which is what exactly? piracy, which is their justification to begin with. Besides I want to see it cause I think it's a great showing of the talent of the hackers out there, not cause I think the PC gamers deserve it.
-
Is anyone playing online using an acquired copy? There's a crack out that allows you to.
-
Its a very interesting catch-22 situation for IW: enabling dedicated servers and mod tools and the like might
see an explosion in sales, but it ALSO might just see an explosion of cracked servers and even more piracy, but continuing as is with IW.net is inspiring lots of PC gamers forgo purchasing it anyway, now that its been hacked all to hell.
I wouldn't want to be on the IW team that makes that decision. If it all goes south after DS is enabled then
IW reasoning for omission in the first place is then justified.
Or they could just ignore what's happening here and focus on console sales/support.
...and Rage, I beta testing the online MP since last night. :) (with fake Steam acct of course)
-
Wait nah so these hackers used the dev console to create dedicated servers, ie. dedicated server support was always in the game? Hmm hackers ftw yes. Tyler's comments are funny.
http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/call-of-duty-6/1045903p1.html
For now, PC gamers are able to host ranked, dedicated servers.
MTV Multiplayer blog is reporting that modders have unlocked the ability to host dedicated servers in the PC version of Modern Warfare 2. The trick was accomplished by coders unlocking the developer console, allowing them to created ranked, "legal" dedicated servers.
According to a video on Destructoid, modders have already busied themselves, customizing the game's rule-sets to include options like infinite ammo, increased rate of fire, speed and gravity tweaks, and just about anything that you'd expect in an FPS mod. Infinity Ward and Activision have yet to issue a statement regarding the modders.
This news comes after weeks of boycotts and controversy for Infinity Ward's decision to axe dedicated servers in the PC version.
Tyler says: Mess with the bull, you get the horns. There's nothing a few dedicated (er, maybe obsessed) gamers can't hack. The specifics of software hacking are so foreign to me that in my mind these folks could commandeer satellites orbiting our planet if they wanted. Of course, there would have to be something like a StarCraft II beta locked inside said satellite for gamers to be interested.
Jokes aside, I love the irony of this story. Infinity Ward's IWNet was supposed to circumvent the exact thing that happened here. How will it respond? What repercussions could the hackers face, if any? I'm sure we'll find out soon, as the lack of dedicated servers in MW2 is quickly becoming the biggest PC gaming news story of 2009.
-
Of course the saying goes, no publicity is bad publicity... it could be the most elaborate mind F&*k in IW history, where they ride the press good or bad and actually poaching hackers or putting up the hacks themselves to fuel the press machine... yuh never know it could happen.... Once ppl get hooked from the 'hacked' version with all the support, they pull the rug out disable it all with a patch and then introduce dedicated servers and all the goodies 'exhibited' by the press, but say you KNOW its good and you've played it, now just PAY and you'll get what you want... would be an interesting twist.

No Neph, you did the right thing and bought it, you're the guy (minority though may be) that can LEGITMATELY b1tch, hem, haw and cuss when IW does crap. All dem other men really just ranting with no real grounds.

Lol @ freezorz

Not only that, but just think that YOU are being screwed for dem pirating... study dat

Its a very interesting catch-22 situation for IW: enabling dedicated servers and mod tools and the like might
see an explosion in sales, but it ALSO might just see an explosion of cracked servers and even more piracy, but continuing as is with IW.net is inspiring lots of PC gamers forgo purchasing it anyway, now that its been hacked all to hell.
I wouldn't want to be on the IW team that makes that decision. If it all goes south after DS is enabled then
IW reasoning for omission in the first place is then justified.
Or they could just ignore what's happening here and focus on console sales/support.
...and Rage, I beta testing the online MP since last night. :) (with fake Steam acct of course)
lol @ beta testing. I hear yuh. I 'beta testing' only a couple hours now. Freakin' mad so far.

hmmm
it seems my game is patching now.
will post if there are any signifigant changes.
took a 2 minutes to update, but no changelist or anything...very odd. 1.0166 now
ok im seeing on some forums that the console hack has been disabled..no clue if its just speculation or truth..

Yup, it's like you walk into your favourite bakery to buy ur usual coconut bake, and they only have whole wheat. You don't like it, but then you don't have to buy it. You can go to another bakery and get ur bake.
If on the other hand, you buy the wholewheat and realize it have fungus, then you can go back and get ur money back or complain and send health inspectors, but if yuh doh buy, yuh never know they have fungus yuh cyah complain.
On the LAST hand, yuh DOH buy de ppl wholewheat but yuh SPRANG it off a truck, eat the fungus and want to complain XD
How's that for an analogy?

yeah is 2 diff bake yo, is coconut bake in bakery (nasty gritty thing) is fry bake in maracas...also...i hate beach...
inb4 i hate everything
i just finish the single player last night...i didn't even see it coming...holy shit it was awesome.
well worth the money. will try out the multi sometime this week.
imma say it was worth it for the sp so far

ok this here is some scary stuff. although my experience with the game is pretty decent (my only real issue is sometime taking awhile to get a game started)
this has me a bit worried. thought id post it for those who bought it. ok it seems doubly worse for those playin on cracked versions

this is serious ting oui.
but these guys are some malicious aholes too. some people really really going out of there way to make this game fail oui.
this did happen to me in legit cod 4 once or twice though, in trying one of those 'modded' servers.
-
well fk me sideways
seriously? i mean i now now say i going and try the multi now i hadda be worried about little asians trying to get into my system or worst get meh vac banned
wow just wow...double rape.
-
if anything ill just create my own private matches with people i know till this is fixed. THIS is utter nonsense
-
I really want to see IW'S next move. Game is incredibly fun, I cant lie,and the performance online (for me) is better than my experience had in Cod 4 and World at War. So far it isnt perfect, but its the most fun ive had in an Fps multi since the early days of Cod 4 and when I first got l4d.
I really wished to see more LOCALS jumping in on the action.So far ive had to be playing with guys from foreign countries (Bajans Canadians and some Americans) and while thats cool, what made the Cod 4 experience for me was playing with local pepes. There is an expereince to be had, and private matches allow for all the customization associated in the typical multiplayer experience, sans the normal leveling up done in matchmaking (it sucks I know)
and oh yea Spec OPs is maaaaad wicked for Co op.
Lan inclusion, mod support and dedicated server support could make this game a sure fire winner, with much needed longeivity. (just look at the mamoth that is Team Fortress eh)
As arcman said your move Iw. although I feel additions may come as pay to play Dlc.
I hope for these additions, but as it is now im enjoying it.
I pyunging de crap out that game now, add me Smallcraft so spec ops could run trini style!!! Oh yeah i got meh legit copy yay, but is a reall pain to get connected to a game sometimes boy yeeessh

@ Trinitus
Sometimes if you getting a problem to get into a game click next to the gametype, to see the number of people available for that particular gametype, those with more are usually able to connect to faster.
@ Arcman
I posted that earlier, its found to be a false positive, and its all been written off as speculation.

if hackers are messing with the code and sending malicious goodies to legit users to get iw's attention,it may have the opposite effect oui.

and I should care why? half those sales are only on 360 compared to the measly 12% on PC and I am glad i never contributed to their greed for this stupid game.

Sounds like a case of sour grapes to me..

Good news for Russian gamers.....
http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3176966
Despite reports to the contrary, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has not been banned in Russia. The country's government had reportedly decided to force the game to be recalled from store shelves until the controversial "No Russian" level could be removed. As it turns out, this simply isn't the case.
An Activision rep said in a statement to VG247, "Reports that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been banned in Russia are erroneous." Even the detail that there are console versions in Russia was inaccurate, with the rep adding, "Activision only released a PC version of the game in Russia which went on sale on Tuesday, Nov. 10."
This isn't likely to make the people who feel the No Russian level shouldn't be in the game feel any better. But at least PC gamers in Russia will be able to play the game uncensored.
-

How can you call a game stupid when everybody here has rated it even people who have played it on PC. Even Arcman.
Berserker and the like have said they like the MP as well.
YOu calling the game stupid because it doesn't cater to you.
-
Rather not play it instead of being some IW arse kisser like the rest of y'all who take anything on a moment's notice. Wonder if you did the same thing each time Halo come out eh?
Wow, nice way to insult everyone who said something regarding the game after actually PLAYING it first. Your comment about Halo kinda lost me, due to the irrelavence to this particular thread.
Also, if by saying that we are "ass kissers" you were trying to say we are gamers and like to support game developers so they continue to make great games then we would take that as a compliment.
I suggest you keep your comments to yourself and don't bother spamming this thread by calling the game stupid when you have not played it. K? Thanks! Bye!
-
I was wondering from the people who purchased it for PC, yall having any other issues? Anyone bought it and regretted it?
I'll probably pick this up for both console and PC in a few weeks when I have some time to play.
-
my only issue is it sometimes takes awhile to get in a game. Lag here exists but it aint affecting my games too badly. Id say 2 out of 10 games lag.
joined with guys from ars forums ,steam and some bajans and occassionaly run a lil sweat. certainly not regretting my purchase.
and reaper that was an utterly cheap and childish comment. I really thought better of you.

I not buying it either, till its fixed, but I can at least acknowledge the fact that the core game itself
has a lot of polish. Its just the MP, and IW.net that fails...HARD.

lol @ modern warfail 2. That never gets old.
Reaper, I'm interested in that Halo comment you made.
It's very intriguing. Began to think I was the only one who remembered that Halo was a PC game that went console.
Spurning our beloved platform and setting the stage for the now epic console wars before us.
Today's success of Modern Warfare 2 on the xbox 360 is a direct descendant of the success of Halo on the original xbox.
PC Game Gone Wild
That Halo move had me bitter and anti-xbox for a while. A lonnngggg while.
Is that what you meant by your comment? Or am I misinterpreting?
-
yea thats what I meant Baego.
-
Multiplayer is bess bess BESS yo. Very intriguing gameplay. Lag occasionally but I guess that's to be expected givn the nature of the beast.
Here's to IW giving us dedi servers in the near future as the hackers proved it could be done.
All in all, CERTAINLY not regretting the purchase. Sure, one can play cracked online, but there's no fun in the continuous cat and mouse game of "Hack the Patch: The Saga Continues", not to mention putting up with the cheating and all that low gravity bollocks.
Being a sellout never felt this good.

Nice sweat last night fellas...win some, lose some, so it go.
As an avid Halo man...I've a few things to say about MW2. This is a completely different beast to Halo. I'm way too accustomed to the run and gun of Halo, to the point that I'm now extra conservative in MW2 because I got slaughtered the first few games I played. To some extent, I believe this to be one of my complaints about the matchmaking system that IW has employed (at least when I compare it to Bungie's approach to matchmaking), because my first game in, level 1 noob in MW2 (Halo is really the only multiplayer FPS that I've played on the 360) get drop into a game with level 24, 37, 45 etc.....WHAAAATTT??? Madness...where all d other level 1 noobs like me??? Put me in dem match!! It just seems unfair that you get thrown in the fray with people of all skill level...slaughteration cometh! Whereas, with Bungie's approach in Halo, I feel much more confident that the people I'm playing against are generally within my skill range, so I don't get WTFPWNED so easily. Of course form time to time I get a match where I no doubt get my arse handed to me in Halo, but I'm happy to say that those matches aren't frequent for me in Halo. Unfortunately, the same can't always be said for my experience with MW2...case in point was one of the matches we played last night...I ended up with a horrible k/d. Nonetheless, I feel that I'm progressing in MW2, and will continue to play it as it's quite fun.
My other complaint is a lack of a Bungie.net-like stats site for MW2....I really hope they have one in the works, because I enjoy reviewing my games the next day at the office and showing off some of my exploits with fellow gaming colleagues.

I've been dropped into many a game with men levels above me, never stopped me from bringing the pain, like just now I brought the rain in the form of a AC130, B2 Stealth, got myself highest kills for at least 3 matches, playing men 10+ above. Also there is a sense of satisfaction when you kick the ass of someone with far better gear. Iron sights ftmfw!!!

got highest kills for about 4 games in a row. (that doesnt happen often) (ctf mode)
also the AUG light machine gun with heartbeat sensor and grip (bling pro of course) is a freaking monster!. got an ac130 via care package but havent gotten a nuke yet. heck havent even been in a game with a nuke yet.

See that last line? Sales numbers not being mentioned yet again.
So many articles keep omitting the now "fabled" PC sales numbers.
The platform is now officially an "also ran".
Looks into the future:
COD MW3 now for PS4 and Xbox 720, Iphone 2.0, Nintendo Spree, Android and.....if we could get the Janitor to stop sweeping and code for half a day, a PC version.

When was this? Last night i ran with Xabuxa and the other bajans for a couple matches, sweat went ok. Sometimes when steam friggin up, a machine and/or router restart fixes it right up.
-
i will try a restart on both see if it does anything, all the other games working fine, even ran a little just now for about a 10mins then it cut.

wow @ 3 billion
most impressive

...and how much of THAT is Modern Warfail 2? About 20%.
I wonder how much of that the PC ONLY TITLES made? How about THAT info eh, Bobby?
-
more wow @ these statistics, quoted from some site (closed link, steups)
Activision today decided to bombard us with yet more Modern Warfare 2 statistics in an attempt to grow their already humongous e-peen. The publisher today boasted that Modern Warfare 2 made the publisher $550 million in its first 5 days and according to Beelzebub Bobby Kotick, it was the "largest entertainment launch in history and a pop culture phenomenon." Its rivals in terms of sales figures from other various mediums are as follows:
* The largest reported five-day opening worldwide box office gross figures, held by Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ($394 million)
* The largest reported five-day opening domestic box office gross figures, held by The Dark Knight ($203.8 million)
* The largest reported five-day worldwide video game sales record, previously held by Grand Theft Auto IV (6 million units, $500 million)
* The largest reported opening first-day domestic box office gross figures, held by The Dark Knight ($66.4 million)
* The largest reported first-day book sales in dollars, held by Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows ($220 million)
* The largest reported first-day worldwide video game sales record, previously held by Grand Theft Auto IV (3.6 million units, $310 million)
Modern Warfare 2's blast radius also extended to Xbox Live, in which the blockbuster title's epic release established the following new standards, according to Microsoft:
* More than 5.2 million multiplayer hours were logged playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on the first day alone.
* More than 2.2 million unique gamers played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in one day on November 10th. A new one-day record for Xbox LIVE.
* More than 11 million achievements were unlocked on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on the first day.
Every time I read these, I am in amazement.
How do they do it????? Really.
-
...because the majority of gamers are sheep, and will pretty much willingly bend over and take a reaming for 'fun',
even if it means that their own pockets are getting hurt in the long run?
Could that be the reason? :laughing7:
-
arent games for 'fun' in the first place? only reason id buy a game is if i believe id enjoy it...
-
You're missing my point...which is to say that you won't run out and buy something, without considering it for what its worth,
especially when you have something just like it, working great, albeit just a little older.
Case in point: Modern Warfail2, Left 4 Dead 2, and Super Street Fighter 4.
Three games I CHOOSE not to get caught up in just for 'fun', and well, because I'm not a sheep. :)
-
before we get all self righteous arc....let us not forget that the developer has been spurned by flagrant piracy for almost a decade running.
We are reaping what we've sown. Not the other way around.
Had it been under an altruistic setting. PC gamers buying CoD all the years through, with very little piracy on the PC platform and then activision just decides to spit on us with a poor console port, I'd say you're clearly in the right.
However, that is not the case here. They have "suffered" from PC piracy for far too long. The buck stopped here. Yet the game is still awesome by all accounts (not a rubbish port). So what exactly are we up in arms about again?
If you maintain your course, then by all means do so without losing sight of the huge, pink, smelly, pirate elephant shitting in the corner of the room. lol

There is a link to a Penny Arcade article in there which I found hilarious....
http://www.penny-arcade.com/2009/10/26/ (http://www.penny-arcade.com/2009/10/26/)
"Some of the rage is channeled semi-constructively into (not a boycott, per se, but) a redirection of funds from Modern Warfare 2 over to Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - a notion that has been cannily seized by the would-be recipient. Bad Company 2 is going to be pretty good, so why not buy it - but let's pause for a moment and really absorb the idea that PC gamers are rallying around a DICE console port in their zeal. Nevermind the fact that you can't host your own Bad Company servers, and that having a dedicated server for the game involves renting it from one of their partners. Maybe they didn't read the FAQ?"
"It is not a mischaracterization to say that conversations with the hardcore PC community about software theft follow these tenets:
- There is no piracy.
- To the extent that piracy exists, which it doesn't, it's your fault.
- If you try to protect your game, we'll steal it as a matter of principle.
It's like, who wouldn't want to bend over backward in their service? You need to know it, because nobody else is going to tell you: you guys sound like Goddamned subway vagrants. Of course when you speak exclusively to each other, it all sounds so reasonable. It'll be reasonable when you all board the bus, and the songs you sing en route to excoriate your enemies will be forceful, but within reason; and when you douse yourself with gasoline and immolate yourself in front of the offices of Infinity Ward, one assumes this will be reasonable also."

2 weeks since the release an I have still not touched that game an the only way you can get my hands on it is IF or WHEN they come to their senses if not R.I.P Infinity Ward's Call of Duty.

PC Gamer UK: Activision Declines PC Review
An extract from the PC Gamer UK Magazine:
“Wheres Warfare?”
“The publishers of Modern Warfare 2, Activision, didn’t allow us to review their game before this issue went to press. Given our lead time this means we wont have a review of what could have been the biggest game of the year in print until 6 weeks after release. Its frustrating for us, particularly given the controversy surrounding the game’s multi-player modes and PC infrastructure.
To produce a review thats as timely as possible, we’ll be posting our verdict on-line on http://www.pcgamer.co.uk (http://www.pcgamer.co.uk) as soon as we can. We completely understand that you will want to know how good the game is before buying it. We might not be the first. But we will be fair”

To me the issue is simple, no matter if the game is "da shit" or "da best game of the year" if it doesnt have a decent online experience it wont be bought.
This is just my philosophy, since MW2 doesnt have server support which means no squad server, no scrims, no matches I just cant condone it, personally I didnt even like COD4 just bought it because everyone else on my squad had done it to continue gamin competitively, didnt even play the single player until over a year later, didnt even finish it.
Oh and also I have MW2 right now and if it had what the points mentioned above I would have bought it.
wink* wink* nudge* nudge*
Battlefield 2 until Battlefield Bad Company 2.
Unlike COD MW2 I am actually excited for this title.
-

Yeah I noticed that as well from talking with people. Don't really find any game has perfect matchmaking, so that isn't too bad at all.
-
All the fail I post belongs to the PC version. Everything seems to be fine and dandy with the console versions.
...but take a gander at THIS (http://www.modernwarfail2.com/2009/11/29/activision-knew-on-forehand-iwnet-was-going-to-fail/) though.
For SHAME, IW... :shakehead:

wasnt Activision an IW known for their great customer service? What the hell Robert Kotick do to this company?? It is turning into the Galactic Empire of videogames an Kotick is Emperor Palpatine

happened to me a few times around 3 times or so. not too much to make me upset, was amusing if anything.
one time it was 5 v1..against yours truly..
i 'represented' though... :awesome:
-
wonder how many rage quit after you floored them in the map?
-
yes it happened a couple of times with me as well. Seems to happen when pple the host drops out mid map and iwnet doesnt know how to add people back after migration. As Berzerk said, it makes for an interesting match. I was in a gmae where 6 of us were against 1 man and we STILL loose lol. Fun times.
-
no real issues with me, i think scavenger = infinite noob tube is gay but IW think that is balance so meh
the only thing is my nat keep going from strict to open when it feel, however it doesn't seem to affect ping

98% of the time, yes.

I won't laugh at that. Men money spend on a technically inferior product. That is something to not be amused about. :(
Mr. Robert Bowling hinted at some upcoming patches intended to 'improve matchmaking' (in a recent tweet), so some salvation may be in order...but then, its still matchmaking. :(

Don't blame the product, blame the people in Matchmaking for quitting games and having the game resort to host migration...If you don't like the people quitting, set-up a PRIVATE match and play with friends, or set-up clan matches via Private matches...that's what that mode is there for...come nah Arc, chillax with the MW2 failure talk...the majority of men on here in this thread bought the game and are enjoying it online, no need to keep beating a dead horse. :P

I don't really see how the matchmaking is a failure, people seem to be enjoying it and it works most of the time. The reasons they went down that road have been discussed previously.
-
I noticed something on the Gamespot forums, the topic creator said he jumped from a window onto a cop car on the airport map an it blew up without him getting off a shot, another guy said he dropped down onto a barrel on the Afghan map an it blew him up also. Anyone tried doing that yet?
-
No...I will NOT 'chillax' until IW somehow fixes all the fail.
I will pong them until there is no life left in my body...but I won't be a tard about it. :)

OORAH!!! Fail product by Fail Developer IS EPICALLY FAIL!
-
What level yall reach? I guessing yall prestige already lol.
-
^ was d point of prestiging tbh? i still tryin to find out WHY men do it, u dont gain anything but a shiny symbol next to yuh name which still proves nothing?
again jus shows how long u been playin
cod4 had lvl gold cross 55s an still weren't good
-
Wait nah...you can only start prestige after you've leveled all the way to 70?
-
yes 70 is d max
-
Yep... I mean yes it doesn't make sense levelling to 70 over and over again..
But the reason why hundreds of thousands do it is not only about the symbol but it gives you something to look forward to.
After you reach max level in a game, you at some point miss the levelling fun you had of creeping closer to max level.
I wasn't gonna prestige..but I figured...I gonna be playing the game for ages anyway... so prestige and earn some symbols while i at it..
Gives the game challenge too, being unable to use the weapons and killstreaks you had at level 70 all the time.

Lol yeah bragging rights, and in a sense it makes it even more addictive since you never really "max out" lol

Yup and good riddance.
Yall experience any cheating so far?

dont have any official proof, but playing a game where a guy moves like flash and dodges your shots tells me he is more than just uber.
Also once team i was on was winning and suddenly out of the blue a nuke dropped from the opposing team...
hacks more likely than not.

Using these percentages, PlayStation 3 sales can be estimated at 712,000 units (with GBP 27 million in revenues) and the PC at 53,400 units."

omglol@seriousbag
arc, you want them not to ban the cheaters?? what else would you suggest?
wow @ the PC sales figures. 3%.....no wonder they are afraid to disclose.
As for Tekken 6, it's a fighting game....they've always been "also ran's" in the next gen console wars.
Not to mention, it's coming from a PS exclusive pedigree. Most won't even be aware of a 360 ver. (I wasn't till recent and that's shameful for being such a huge fan of the game)
-
Rain the damn ban hammer on them. I was in a couple games where men were making me feel like I was playing like a 65 year old with Parkinson's. Turns out meh hosses were using aimbots and such...and u does know. When u watch the killcam, you see their croshairs making swift decisive "digital style" moves between targets, much like gta's auto aiming system. Openly admitted and all too said they were out to have fun. Pfft please.
-
By all means ban their asses, but look how long it took...and VAC will be easily circumvented again.
Punkbuster will ban you one time, and is a lot better at detecting the hacks.
Meanwhile the cheaters on this Warfail2 will be re-upping for another go at it, fuxx0ring the game
for all the legit players until what, another month again, when Valve decide to rest down another ban?
Waaay...allyuh pay for dat yes.
This whole scenario is JUST like those who vote PNM, and now they complaining because Manning have them unda presha,
and doing what he want....but allyuh vote for dat.
The similarities are striking. :)
-
who complaining? if anything im having more fun with this than cod 4.

Some loadouts you may find useful depending on the situation. Got any other preferred loadouts?
http://sarcasticgamer.com/wp/index.php/2009/11/ultimate-modern-warfare-2-multiplayer-loadouts.html (http://sarcasticgamer.com/wp/index.php/2009/11/ultimate-modern-warfare-2-multiplayer-loadouts.html)
Modern Warfare 2 is an impressive piece of time suck. I can’t seem to put it down. I’m not the only one, but today, I’m gonna reveal the deadliest loadouts. Death dealing, sneaky emm effer, shoot-you-in-the-face-before-you-see-me loadouts.
This is obviously open to interpretation, but here is a list of personal and staff list of favorites to give your Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer experience a shot in the arm.
Max Kill
Weapon: M16 w/ holographic site and grenade launcher
Sidearm: Glock with akimbo and silencer
Perk 1: Bling
Perk 2: Stopping Power
Perk 3: Commando
Comments: This is a basic package that you’ll be able to play as after level 40. Lower level alternate would be the TAR-21 instead of the M16. The M16 is a beast, coupled with a noob tube, akimbo Glocks and Commando (Preferably Commando Pro) for close in knife kills is easily the best loadout in the game to maximize kill potential.
Alternate: If you have Ninja Pro, swap that out for Commando to make you slightly more stealthy.
Anti-Air
Weapon: RPD with Grip
Sidearm: Stinger
Perk 1: Scavenger
Perk 2: Cold Blooded
Perk 3: Commando
Comments: Every good player should have an anti-air pre-set class ready to deploy when the enemy killstreaks start coming. Nothing turns a tide faster than a well placed Harrier or Pavelow Helicopter. When going after aircraft, it’s important to have cold blooded equipped to make you invisible to the enemy so you can get your shot off. Sure, Stopping Power Pro is nice, but if you get smoked before you even get the shot off, what is the point? Scavenger is important to pick up extra Stinger missiles and using the RPD or any of your favorite light machine gun is recommended to maximize your killing power against airborne targets.
Super Stealth
Weapon: SCAR w/ silencer
Sidearm: USP with tactical knife
Perk 1: Scavenger Pro
Perk 2: Cold blooded Pro
Perk 3: Ninja Pro
Comments: This loadout will make you completely invisible. Your shots won’t register on the radar, you can’t be seen by UAV, Thermal sights, sentry guns, heartbeat sensors and your footsteps will be silent. If you’re patient, you’ll rack up kills, use scavenger to pick up ammo from your kills and stay alive for quite a while. This class is great for the patient player looking to get the drop on campers and players who like to counter snipe.
Alternatives: You can use virtually any weapon, but with the SCAR’s great iron sights, accuracy and damage, it makes a great weapon to use with a silencer, and your low magazine size will be compensated by your low profile. Other options include the ACR, FAMAS and M16 for their accuracy. Stay away from Sub machine guns with this class, because you’ll decrease your range too much with the silencer to be a useful counter sniper.
Flash Killer
Weapon: Any sub machine gun w/holographic site
Sidearm: Ranger w/ akimbo
Perk 1: Marathon Pro
Perk 2: Lightweight Pro
Perk 3: Commando Pro
Comments: This class is a beast for any player. With your sub machine gun you can engage enemies at any range, but the trick with this class is to keep moving. As long as you’re moving, you’ll be the fastest thing in the map, allowing you to easily flank enemies, campers and snipers quickly. With dual ranger shot guns, you’ll blast anything in your path that is just out of reach of your knife. If you can keep moving, stay out of open spaces and stay away from medium to long distance firefights, you can dominate on any map.
Alternates: Using a pistol with the tactical knife turns this class into a knife wielding maniac. The pro is that you’ll stay relatively stealthy and rack up numerous humiliation kills on your enemy. The con is that you won’t have the twin boomsticks to simply obliterate enemies up close.
Search and Destroyer
Weapon: TAR-21 with heartbeat sensor and Full Metal Jacket
Sidearm: Glock with FMJ and silencer
Perk 1: Bling Pro
Perk 2: Stopping Power Pro
Perk 3: Sit Rep Pro
Comments: The TAR-21 is a personal favorite, but coupled with the heartbeat sensor and full metal jacket is a great combo on some of the smaller maps, or during a Team Deathmatch where you can find the bad guy with the sensor, and then smoke them behind a wall with full metal jacket equipped. I put the Glock as a secondary weapon for close quarters, and Sit Rep Pro for seeking out behind the lines enemies and defensive explosives.
Alternatives: Any weapon with heartbeat sensor is useful.
Noob Tube Machine
Weapon: Any assault rifle with Grenade Launcher
Sidearm: One Man Army
Equipment: Grenades or Semtex
Perk 1: One Man Army
Perk 2: Danger Close Pro
Perk 3: Last Stand Pro
Comments: Here’s how it works. With the Danger Close your noob tube will be god-like. While Scavenger will allow you to pick up one extra grenade for your launcher, using One Man Army will allow you to switch to a new class, fully equipped with two grenades for your launcher. Use up those two grenades, switch classes back to the same class and so on and so forth. Be advised, you will piss off the opposition, but that’s kind of the point, right?
-
I dont mind being picked up by sentry guns, hb sensors etc so you'll rarely see me use ninja. For everything else, i can make do with any loadout. For longer ranges, the acr scope is all i need. I hate the noob tube with a passion and i'll never use one in any of my classes.

omg...

Play Modern Warfare 2 for charity this weekend
http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=228701 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=228701)
This weekend Activision and Infinity Ward are kicking off the 'Game for Good' initiative, two days of Modern Warfare 2 gaming designed to raise money for the War Child charity.
The initiative is being organised with the help of GAME and Xbox Live and all you have to do to take part is play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 online on the 5th and 6th of December (that's this weekend).
If more than 600,000 UK users get their Modern Warfare on, the War Child charity will receive a donation of £150,000, says Activision. An extra £25,000 will be donated for every 100,000 users after that, up to a maximum total of £250,000.
Microsoft is supporting the initiative by making Xbox Live Gold membership free for the weekend, while Game will support War Child by selling wristbands in store.

let me see if i get this straight...
this is a charity for children that affected by war (http://www.warchild.org/ (http://www.warchild.org/))

Translation Errors in Japanese Version of MW2
Found this article a bit interesting from 1up.com:
From a not-really-ban in Russia to an attempted ban in Australia, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has had its share of foreign controversies. Today we're discovering that the game is causing a little stir in Japan, but from fans instead of the government. Magweasel gives word that the Japanese localization leaves much to be desired. At the center of the issues is the "No Russian" scene, in which Vladimir Makarov is supposed to tell the player "Remember, no Russian." In the story, this is a straight-forward message: as a Russian nationalist, he doesn't want his men speaking Russian as they kill civilians. But in Japanese, it was apparently translated to, "Kill them; they are Russians." Needless to say, this sort of misses the point of the scene, which is a lynchpin for much of the game's plot.
The poor translation has reportedly sparked ire from fans in Japan, some of whom are claiming they'll only buy the English-language version instead of hearing the poor Japanese. It's hard to blame them. If that important scene loses its context, very little of the global conflict that follows would make sense. Of course, this could be a case of fans making a mountain out of a molehill, and considering the game's 39/40 score in Famitsu, it's likely to sell just fine regardless.
These type of mistakes seem to keep coming up. Is this really a big deal or does it show the lack of finer detail on IWs part?

Honestly this particular glitch is VERY annoying as it guarantees your death at close range.... Ran into a guy doing this last night... real cuss, but I guess it just means hit em from a distance for now.

They working on it.
http://www.el33tonline.com/past/2009/12/3/modern_warfare_2_javelin_glitch/ (http://www.el33tonline.com/past/2009/12/3/modern_warfare_2_javelin_glitch/)
After a flurry of Twitter tweets from people in the know, it seems the infamous ‘Javelin Glitch’ in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s online multiplayer is in the process of being fixed.
Here’s Infinity Ward’s Creative Strategist Robert Bowling:
“Javelin Glitch fix currently in test. Once it’s cleared, we’ll be urging it through Microsoft & Sony certification as fast as possible.”
This was followed up by a Twitter entry from Director of Policy and Enforcement for Xbox LIVE, Stephen Toulouse, warning abusers of the glitch that they would face a suspension from Xbox LIVE:
“While IW works on getting the MW2 glitch fixed, people we catch using it will [receive] suspensions from LIVE. Play fair everyone. :>”
In an effort to lend a helping hand and push Infinity Ward’s glitch fix through the pipes as soon as possible, Xbox mouthpiece Larry ‘Major Nelson’ Hryb tweeted in reply to Robert Bowling’s entry:
“Thanks for the update….I’ll put pressure on from my side as well.”
The Javelin Glitch in question involves players exploiting Modern Warfare 2’s more explosive weaponry in online play in combination with running perks, effectively turning you into a suicide bomber ready to explode on death, taking multiple victims with you.
Don’t do it, or else you’ll be faced with a two week ban on Xbox LIVE.
A patch for the glitch will arrive for PC Modern Warfare 2 players as soon as it’s ready, while PS3 and Xbox 360 users will need to wait for Sony and Microsoft to approve the update, which could mean it’ll be with us anytime from today until some time next week.
-
That being said... a suicide bomber perk could be an interesting addition though.... hmm...
-
I can hear the screams now "SUICIDE NOOB" lol
-
hmm so u pull the pin, dont throw the grenade.. and switch to rpg then run up to someone
this is different from the perk in mw how?
-
Well its in instant explosion...not a delayed grenade explosion. (no chance to run away).
And the blast radius is much bigger than a grenade.
-
Also if you pull a grenade it will explode on you after a short while, I assume with this bug you could run around/hide indefinitely until you get in range to an unfortunate victim.
-

Yes, i'm a first hand victim XD... also because the explosion is sizeable it'll take out anyone around you as well even if the man is not right next to you, hence it's annoying....
On the other hand, if they make a perk for it and balance it, so that say a suicide class has a limited blast radius, and unable to stack with marathon or lightweight... then it'd be sensible imho.
-
isnt that already a challenge called Misery Loves Company or did they remove it?
-
ROFL...Reaper, stop it. :laughing7:
-
no dude im serious, in COD4 and World at War there is a challenge I cant remember which section I think it was in elite or humiliation that you can accomplish the Misery Loves Company challenge by holding a live grenade an blowing yourself up along with any # of enemies in your area.

Unlocked at level 47
XP reward: 50, 100, 250

-
yes, like i said, its not that much different from mw, run around with frag grenades with the last stand perk and just suicide with nade and then let the perk do a second explozion
-
Steups. Only men with no skill hadda resort to such desperate tactics to rack up kills.

PS3 MW2 glitchers can rest easy lol...
http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3177170 (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3177170)
We reported yesterday that Infinity Ward is working on a fix for the "Javelin" glitch in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. As a preventive measure, Xbox Live policy director Stephen Toulouse promised that the ban hammer would come down on those found to be cheating, but apparently Sony isn't apt to follow in those footsteps. CVG reports that a Sony representative stated, "I don't believe we are banning people for using the glitch." So unless we hear otherwise, the PlayStation 3 seems to be safer for dirty cheaters to get their kicks.
It makes a certain amount of sense; PlayStation Network accounts are free, so a ban would be easily and almost instantly overridden by simply making another account. Trying to catch cheaters who then become repeat offenders with multiple accounts probably isn't something Sony is eager to do, especially since Infinity Ward is working on a fix that will remedy the problem anyway. For now, if you happen to be playing Modern Warfare 2 on the PS3, you may have to just put up with the occasional javelin attack.

Microsoft: difference between cheat, exploit? None. Banned!
http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2009/12/microsoft-difference-between-cheat-exploit-none-banned.ars (http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2009/12/microsoft-difference-between-cheat-exploit-none-banned.ars)
Microsoft has begun issuing temporary bans to players taking advantage of an exploit in Modern Warfare 2, while Infinity Ward works on a patch to fix the issue. While the servers may be kept slightly cleaner for the efforts, the amount of control Microsoft holds over owners of their consoles, and the arbitrary way they are able to wield it, is troubling.
Stephen Toulouse is the Director of Policy and Enforcement of Xbox Live. When a gamer (or many gamers) need to be banned, his job is to find them and cut off Xbox Live access to their machines. The latest group to get his attention? Gamers using an exploit in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 to increase their kill count.
First it was piracy leading to mass bannings, and now Microsoft is tasked with keeping the Modern Warfare 2 servers clean while Infinity Ward works on a patch. We're going to explore what gamers are doing, and why this is a somewhat unsettling precedent for consoles.
What's going on?
The issue in question is called the Javelin Exploit, and it allows players to detonate a grenade instantly upon death. Here's a video detailing the glitch, if you'd like to know exactly what's happening on the servers and what it looks like.
"While IW works on getting the MW2 glitch fixed, people we catch using it will recieve suspensions from LIVE. Play fair everyone," Toulouse said via Twitter. He also noted that this policy isn't anything new, and that it's in place for more games than just Modern Warfare 2. If you get caught taking advantage of the exploit, you'll be banned for 24 hours. If you're a particularly bad case, the banning could last up to two weeks.
The ban isn't for Modern Warfare 2, it's for the entirety of Xbox Live. If you're banned, no new content for you. No playing online... in anything. Major Nelson posted the details on his blog: "Keep in mind, this isn't just a ban on a particular game. This is a ban on the Xbox Live service as a whole, so you won't be able to go online at all during your ban. Initially, you may be banned for a day, a week, or depending on severity, permanently! Kiss that $50 goodbye," he wrote.
The troubling aspect about the case of Modern Warfare 2 is that no one is changing the code in the game and no rules are being broken. They're simply taking advantage of the behavior of two particular weapons when used in a certain way. From Microsoft's side of things, that's cutting the hair too fine: if you find a glitch and use it in the game, that's cheating.
Toulouse responded to criticism with a slightly tortured metaphor. "Wow, some of you think cheating a glitch is OK. Um. If I install my car stereo wrong and it disables my door locks, its not ok to STEAL MY CAR," he posted. Somehow I doubt cops are out there comparing car theft to grenade kills to Modern Warfare 2, but we'll let it slide. Using a glitch or a bug to gain advantage is against the Terms of Service, and defining glitches, bugs, and that advantage is solely up to Microsoft.
You're playing on their playground
In many ways, the Xbox 360 is Xbox Live. It's nearly impossible to separate the hardware from the service. Without Xbox Live there are no game patches, you can't grab demos of upcoming games, you can't play online. Banned consoles have begun to show up on sites like eBay and Craigslist, and there is a risk of unexpectedly picking one up when you buy used from retailers like GameStop. One pirate I spoke to told me he simply kept two systems: one for Xbox Live, and one for downloaded games. I told him that's an expensive set up, and he shrugged. It's cheaper than buying new games, he replied. When a system is banned, the hardware itself carries the stigma; you can't buy a new subscription, you can't swap out the hard drive. For most users, the system is basically dead.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation wrote about these bans, noting the power that Microsoft holds over gamers. If you break the Terms of Service, Microsoft can render your hardware unable to use its online service, which it has made nearly necessary for playing Xbox 360 games and taking advantage of the system's features. Bannings are the sole discretion of Microsoft, and there isn't much you can do about it once it has happened to you, short of buying a new piece of hardware.
"Of course, these 'absolute power to terminate' clauses are in no way unique to the Xbox Live TOS. While the mass ban provides a useful illustration of their danger, these terms can be found in nearly all TOS agreement for all kinds of services," EFF Adjunct Attorney Ed Bayley wrote. "There have been virtually no legal challenges to these kinds of arbitrary termination clauses, but we imagine this will be a growth area for lawyers."
Where does this leave us?
Sony stated that it won't be banning anyone over cheating in Modern Warfare 2, but with Infinity Ward controlling all the servers for the game on the PC side of things, bans have been handed down for cheating there, as well. With dedicated servers there was no way for a company to stop you from playing the game, but the closed nature of IWNet means the developer and publisher control your ability to play the game online.
No one is going to defend cheating, but glitches, exploits, and bugs have long found their way into strategy and helped to move gaming forward. Would rocket jumpers have been banned from Xbox Live? If Valve shut down dedicated servers and sought to control every aspect of their games, would there have been Counter Strike? The control Microsoft exerts over Xbox Live, and its ability to block your access to online play remotely, and without appeal, means that you'll be playing the games how they want.
In the meantime, Toulouse has some advice in his Twitter profile: "Be pure. Be vigilant. Behave!"

I have no problems with this, BAN DE @$$. If you glitch once to try it, even do it in a private match, that's all well and good. Playing in online matches against total strangers who trying to enjoy the game fairly, F^&K YOU. Thing is, imho the human race as a WHOLE is not mature enough to regulate itself, meaning if left to our base desires and own devices we abuse each other, kill each other, steal from each other. This permeates to all levels of human behaviour, from literally stealing your neighbour food to stealing kills in a game. Without a controlling body we'd all be reduces to chaos.
SO I say again BAN THEM without mercy. :p
PSN has taken a noble stance, but then as was pointed out, you don't PAY to play on PSN, so it would be a pretty ineffective solution.

Guess what I just unlocked?
Those who know the song, feel free to sing along:

I used the p90 almost exclusively in cod4 and got so many kills using it, i simply cant use it again.
-
I can't get enough of it. Now you can dual wield P90s. Double the pleasure, double the fun.
/me is in heaven

what other builds y'all using?
PS
and doh give meh no copypasta, let meh hear what works for you

You know funny enough I never cared much for the P90... XD M16, Scorpion, LMGs..

The AUG HBAR with d kung fu grip is my weapon of choice. A personal favourite is also the FAL assault rifle with red dot sight. I tend to choose weapons that i know other people are gonna find hard to use, especially if they try to copycat.

Yeah the FAL is like the G3 from MW, I like it and I doh need no DAMN modded or after market controller to use it like a fully/semi auto. My days of Track & Field on the NES assured that many many many moons ago XD

lol @ kung fu grip
this game just getting sweeter and sweeter yes.

Aren't those rapid fire controllers banned on Live?
-
it hard to detect some of them i bet, if you have a man firing 1 bullet a second all the time consistently it more than likely he has teh moddzorz
the auto hit if done right and with a proper timer (555 maybe an arduino controller) to randomize the timings might escape but eventually the pattern gets picked up on
i run the m16 it get a nice bump this time around
-
Again I eh need no damn modded controller to pump 3+ rounds into ur skull a second XD

I don't think this is relevant for us in Trinidad, with the majority of users on heavy p2p like bittorrent, the amount of bandwidth from IWnet is significantly less.
Isn't this what many console games have been using for the past few years? I wonder if console players have gotten similar letters on US Isps.

This is the catch, ppl have been playing consoles for years and using P2P. Now admittantly in many cases P2P activity is not of the legal kind and you are effectively part of a distributed server. Also EVERY Xbox LIVE game from INCEPTION required a player to act as host (Red will correct me if i'm wrong) so that being said this article and person is REALLY REALLY LATE TO THE GAME and whilst it raises and interesting point, WHY hasn't this been a major problem in the past?
I find it too COINCIDENTAL that with so many unhappy PC MW fans that such an article would NOW surface. I'm not saying it isn't truth, i'm saying had he had his way he'd have been happy still playing his Xbox and using P2P thereby violating said TOS and not said $HIT. And if that be the case we should ALL be trying to SUE MS.

Javelin fail! MW2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljw8ei0EcKk#ws)
-
yup i have seen that actually not d backfiring but the complete uselessness of rockets sometimes to take down annoyin killstreaks where the rocket jus goes its own way
-
HAHAH i heard if that happens 5 times u unlock the"Suicide Watch" Title and emblem.
The Javelin pwned in cod4 when we firrst saw it in the single player. Then again it wasnt in the multiplayer.
In MW2, it just looks pretty but pretty useless as a ground to air missile and even worse as a ground to air...to ground. To make matters worse, its only got one lousy shot.
The stinger is MUCH more reliable and although it works only for vehicles, it actually works.

I'd love to do that yes...but only a matter of time before they ban ur ass.

hav sum ppl on my clan acc who did it....waste of time imo
prestigin doesnt give u anything anyway except more custom class slots and sum titles and emblems nothing that overly necessary
-
I have a feeling for such an exploit people may get banned. People already do get suspended from psn.
Also IW could probably do a stats reset for all the exploiters.
Either way it should be dealt with cuz that rel unfair for the people who put in the hours.
-
Well...you guys knew what you were buying. You KNEW, based on the fact that there was no beta, that this game would have lots of issues. Now its being hacked all to hell.

Modern Warfare 2: Patch for matchmaking coming
http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=229476 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=229476)
If you've been playing Modern Warfare 2 over the weekend (and you should have been) you may have noticed its online matchmaking systems going a bit mental. Don't fret, Infinity Ward says; it's got it covered.
IW's Robert Bowling has confirmed that the developer is working on another patch for the game, after widespread reports of the matchmaking system dumping players into private matches or showing that there are no games available - which is obviously rubbish considering half the human race is playing it at all times.
Speaking on Twitter, Bowling said in reply to complaints over the glitches: "Yep. Aware and there is already a fix in the works. I'll keep you posted as things progress."
In case you missed it, IW released a patch last week to abolish the troublesome Javelin glitch, which allowed players to turn themselves into exploding bombs.
-
Well to be fair, MW1 also had the level hack so its nothing new to the series. At the end of the day, its a very trivial issue. I much rather they concentrate on weeding out the cheaters and glitch exploiters to keep up the quality of the experience.
-
Gold time baby yeah!!!
So did you activate yet?

them suspension is petty thing sony does do, a week or two an yuh back
d worst thing is IW do a stats reset but ppl smart ppl not doin this on they main account they makin new psns to this on.
and lastly app does it REALLY make a difference if they do this? its JUST A RANK doesnt show skill so i sure u better than them anyway if they hadda do this
another thing men doin is riot shield boosting to rank up fast.....

Finally got the game, played it for a few hours with some friends. Online play was pretty smooth with host migration happening a few times. I wouldn't say the game perfect but it was definitely fun for me :)
Did see a few glitchers though it did not totally ruin the experience.

Careful you get AIDS lol
http://www.destructoid.com/modern-warfare-2-gets-an-aids-like-virus-on-xbox-live-157964.phtml (http://www.destructoid.com/modern-warfare-2-gets-an-aids-like-virus-on-xbox-live-157964.phtml)
If you're playing Modern Warfare 2 on the Xbox 360, you might want to lay low for a few days. Yet another problem has been discovered in Infinity Ward's game, and this one's a real bastard, with the ability to "infect" your profile and turn you into the game equivalent of an HIV carrier.
According to reports, players get "infected" by unwittingly joining a private match hosted by a carrier. They then get hit by the same issue -- unlimited ammo and no reloads -- and can pass it on if the end up hosting any games themselves. Allegedly, it's "spreading like an STD."
This unique issue started out as a mod on the PC version of the game, which we spoke about yesterday. It has been transported to the Xbox 360 and put to more sinister work. Infinity Ward is apparently "working" on the issue, and it appears that Microsoft is wielding its banhammer for anybody caught employing it.
A lot of people like to blame Infinity Ward for these issues, but who on Earth could predict that AIDS would come to Modern Warfare 2? I think it has more to do with the determination of cheaters to break the game than IW's development skills. If you make the biggest game of the year, it's bound to get hit by the largest population of exploiters and hackers who will instantly set about trying to ruin the game for everyone, especially if they feel they're proving some sort of "point" about Infinity Ward's online decisions.
What do you think? Is Infinity Ward at fault here, or do we blame the sheer willpower of the cheaters?
-
my money is on the cheaters.
No good will come of all this hate, no good! lol
seems Woody chakra is impervious to hate crimes though.

OK, so if the game converts to $380TT, is that all u have to pay before ur able to play? are there no hidden charges?

Yes, thats all. No other 'hidden' charges (yet)...but you must install Steam.

Infinity Ward Hints Mod Tools for PC Modern Warfare 2
http://www.gossipgamers.com/infinity-ward-hints-mod-tools-for-pc-modern-warfare-2/ (http://www.gossipgamers.com/infinity-ward-hints-mod-tools-for-pc-modern-warfare-2/)
Infinity Ward just might release some Mod Tools later on in the future. This was hinted by Robert ‘fourzerotwo’ Bowling on his Twitter post that there might be news of mod tools coming to the PC in the near future.
Nothing on Dedicated Servers, but there may be some Mod Tools news coming in the future, I’ll pass it along once I have it.
Yup, Infinity Ward is still putting their foot down on no dedicated servers, but the official mod tools will surely appease some of the PC folks out there.
Also, Robert Bowling said that the infinite ammo glitch and other bugs are being fixed and tested right now. So expect a small update or patch very soon.

Seems like this game more sour than the grapes yes. :laughing7:
-
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.
-
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 :laughing7: 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.
-
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. :laughing7:
Woeful. :shakehead:
-
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.
-
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.

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

That game looks pretty good, missed out on that.
-
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.... :shakehead:
-
+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.
-
Another one of those that you bought, eh Rage? :lol:
-
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.
-
Another one of those that you bought, eh Rage? :lol:
ROFL!!! Does the blank that I bought to burn it count?
-
I rest my case, lol
-
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
-
piracy narrows the margin of error for all of the above.
yeah, you couldn't level up all of the powers in one play through. You'd have to do it multiple times and take different paths to see the elite experience levels in each weapon/power. My hand to hand combat was through the roof. Break neck combos galore. lol
-
kotor vs advent. I could see why it would lose out in your eyes.
Advent was an action game, practically a glorified platformer. Kotor is an rpg, and if you're a fan of the starwars universe, Advent will never be able to trump that.
I loved it for what it was though, an original scifi masterpiece in game form. Would have made a killer movie too.
Did you play it to completion to get the whole story? Again, that was it's strong point, moreso than the actual gameplay (which was only great if you're into heavy twitch gaming action like me)
-
yea i rem that they announce it inna big way that there were to be 2 more epic sequels after this...was playin this when it came out didnt fin...still prob hav the save game somewhere bec i wanted to fin it...good story line but i wudnt compare this to KOTOR tho...
-
a few hours wouldn't give you a proper appreciation for the scifi works in this case.
It's like someone watching 20 minutes of Star Trek and then comparing that to the complete Star Wars original trilogy, lol
hardly fair.
If you're going to weigh in on the scifi gem that is Advent, you really should play it to completion. ( I don't want to spoil it for anyone, so I'm not gonna give details as to why the story was so boss)
Telling such a story in fast action game to me might have been a poor decision. A vehicle like Dragon Age would have done better justice!
lol @ hijack, yeah boy. Real big tangent.
To get back on topic, I clocked 33 seconds in the firing range/test run SpecOp. How much did you score? ( I sure captain do it in like 29 or some ridiculous number so)

Modern Warfare 2 Most Pirated Game of 2009
As 2009 is slowly moving toward its end, we follow up our most pirated movies chart by taking a look at the most pirated games of the year. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the absolute winner on the PC and Xbox 360, while New Super Mario Bros. scoops the title of most pirated Wii game of 2009.
codmw2Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 broke records this year as the biggest ever entertainment launch in history. With 4.7 million units sold in the US and UK during the first 24 hours, it pulled in revenues totaling $310 million.
In five days the game’s worldwide sales climbed to $550 million, crushing previous record holders Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (only $394m) and The Dark Knight (just $203.8m).
“In just five days of sell through Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has become the largest entertainment launch in history and a pop culture phenomenon,” Activision CEO Bobby Kotick said commenting on the game’s success. This is, of course, reflected in the number of pirated copies being traded on BitTorrent.
With 4.1 million unauthorized downloads of the PC version alone, the game more than doubles the achievement of last year’s ‘winner‘ Spore. Modern Warfare 2 leads both the PC and Xbox 360 lists, by a landslide.
The overall trend across all platforms is that, unlike last year, all of the games are 2009 releases. What makes Modern Warfare 2’s chart-topping even more impressive is that this has been achieved after just two months of availability. We further see that the figures for the most downloaded titles have more than doubled compared to last year, equaling the growth in uTorrent users.
PC games are by far the most downloaded titles, with on average more than three times the number of downloads compared to Xbox 360 and Wii releases. As expected, Mario titles are in high demand on the Wii.
The data for these lists is collected by TorrentFreak from several sources, including reports from all public BitTorrent trackers. All the data is carefully checked and possible inaccuracies are systematically corrected.

is it me or is this game very short?
-
the game was geared around multiplayer since like ever, the sp tends to be very short but intense
-
is it me or is this game very short?
Yes it is, especially if you play it on easy mode.
-
Sweat again tonight?
We cant let one bad session spoil it forever.
-
Yeah, its very very short. 6-8 hours
But what an 8 hours! Like I said, James bond would blush.
The MP is where you get your long term rewards. Easily clocked 100hrs+ in cod mp over the years
Capitan, you still have the skillz I see.
The session was going good until lag joined.
8 v Lag
Lag won.
lol
-
i cyar make tonite, have other bizzness. that lag was really frustratin tho.
-
That 'other bizness' had better involve a woman, because anything is better than a night full of fail. :laughing7:
-
ent boy berzerk. Level teleportation. I feel the host started some heavy torrentz yes.
-
lvl 65 and counting Ground War Trini style 9 Trini for most of the night with men changing as we went along, level LIHIXX!

Modern Warfare 2, The Joker (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HHO54B5gm4#ws)
-
PS3 much XD
-
that eh right
-
wtf @ that joker video
-
Ok I just beat MW2. Is it me or is the storyline a bit ridiculous?
-
its not just you it is.
but game was incredible fun.
-
This is just too funny.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2: LOL Kill (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JP5mSDfCPsU&feature=player_embedded#ws)
-
hahahah....lol....man hav time to send text yes...that sad oui
-
That joker video was wicked.
-
lol @ eroo.
The storyline ain't nothing you wouldn't see on the big screen.
And it's hardly a novel concept to gaming. Freedom Fighters took a crack at the "Russia invading the USA" theme some years back. Nice shock value.
That was a great game btw.
Personally, I think they should give China some air time in the next modern warfare. While all the terrorist induced global warfare action might make for an al queda wet dream, it's just that, a dream. Very very slim chance of reality. However, if China decided to take over the world, sweat buss. lol

nice read
2,4,8 and 9 are the main things imo that went wrong with the game
discuss what u think some of the things u feel they went wrong with
agree or disagree with the stuff discussed in the link etc

You can only fail if you're trying.
Think IW has already made it clear that their focus is not on the competitive gamer anymore. There primary concern is the mass market and in that respects, the game is awesome.
I am sure MLG pros won't be impressed by the "flaws" highlighted as they all cater to the casual player and run afoul of fair play. All very valid points.
-
Well, my stance on this game is well known. That thread just summarises all that is wrong with this game,
and that's the console version that is being to referred to there. When you THEN add in all the PC flaws to that,
well, there's your fail.
March will soon be upon us. :)
-
I'm still having fun with it playing with friends whenever I get chance.
-
8 & 9 go hand in hand
i hav seen sooo many kids camp hard just for killstreaks and in objective games too not even bothering to try an help the team
CTF is the least campy game mode, at least players hav to move around in order to win
killstreaks in mw2 are overpowered if any1 says otherwise they need to get good
cod4 wasn't as annoyin, only the chopper was.
i single handedly won ctf games cuz of killstreaks on numerous occasions
simply by droppin a harrier on their spawn an havin it kill ppl as they respawn an got chopper gunner, which enables even the shittiest team to run flags with ease
all i want is for #4 to be patched in....but its IW an they already made bank so i highly doubt it.
-
That killstreaks is OP must be on the PS3 cause i've had my harrier, choppergunner, pavlow, etc SHOP DOWN the INSTANT it reached MANY MANY times over without so much as DAMAGING a single player.

Nah we've shot down those many a time the instant they arrive, once your team coordinated it is manageable for sure.

The storyline by video game standards is hardly ridiculous. I just found since the first Modern Warfare had a realistic storyline that could actually be going on in the world now, this once certainly can't. The sorta cliffhanger ending too reminded me of how blizzard ended the expansion packs for Starcraft and Warcraft 3.
I'm just a lil dissappointed that the game has moved to being more unrealistic, double shotguns, nuke , etc.
The game is still exteme fun, finally got a chance to run mp this weekend.

And anyone who thinks the SMG's are a waste obviously have not used the Vector .45cal, that gun just sick!!

I know camping is a BIG no no. But seriously, those guys with the lightweight/commando perk are annoying. IW should come up with a new perk called "Oil Spill".

this game is full of it then (not sayin yall cuz i know trinis hav no patience to sit still)
but the majority of ppl mainly the younger kids (10-15) tend to camp hard and again they camp cuz of the ridiculous killstreak rewards
if they remove those campin wud go down alot imo cuz then ppl wud actually hav to play the game the way it meant to played

Wow.......just wow.........balanced game my arse. GG IW GG indeed.
you must admit after seeing this not only will the Console crew go nuts but the PC players will go BALLISTIC!! I forsee this happening in nearly (i stretch the term nearly) ever match.
-sigh- one small community made patch would get rid of that in a heartbeat. This game aint balanced for players.
-
Actually I heard about this glitch before it was posted and honestly it affected NON of the hundreds of games i've been in. boohoo
-
Are you saying IW can't/won't fix this?
-
i tried it... :happy0203:
feel kinda dirty, but it is fun, still not raking up those kinda kills tho, never really was big on noob tubes in any case.
-
lol @ feeling dirty.
-
my god... for men who are experienced and agile with loob tuubes , this is going to make this game worse than sof after modding..
*sigh* at the console men continuing to support their iron fisted dictators.
THat chopper thing is beyond ridiculous, with 2 men doing that kinda suppression on any team, that is a done game, thats probably worse than that nook thing.
-

not unbalanced???
did u not see the video?
ppl can easily end the game with nukes with that kit just from spammin shit
i agree with the guy in the vid 100%
they jus threw shit in the game without properly thinking how bad it can b abused

yup...chopper gunner is ridiculously overpowered
cod4 was waaaay more balanced than this
btw not all console gamers support broken/unbalanced games crixx
-
Yeah it is a bit cheap after using it a bit, not getting those kinda kills but I sure ppl can real abuse it if they stick with it.
Played a game where everyone was using it, it was a spam fest lol.

again, I ask, is this beyond IW's ability to fix??

UPDATE: This also seems to be affecting users on the PC version as well.
Original:In what seems to be the ongoing saga that is Modern Warfare 2, a new issue has popped up amongst the community. Recently a number of players have reported coming across hacked "level down" servers during their gaming. These servers give extreme amounts of negative experience per kill or round that will generally reset players to single digit rankings. This issue first popped up on the IW forums (http://"http://www.infinityward.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=251282") the other day with video evidence (Video 1 (http://"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po87YOUGifs"), Video 2 (http://"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrhueUVKufY")) to support the claim.
This comes from someone who claims they started out a round as a second prestige rank 50 and ended as a rank 1.
ME and my clan (SC) went into a game of HxC SnD, we found a group of tenth prestiges, we thought they were merely boosters, we were very wrong.
We knew something was wrong when they just waltzed out of their spawn in Highrise and let us kill them.
After we won that round, they said "AWW look at the level 1's" and we noticed...
Killing them made us LOSE xp.... we won the match cause they ended it.
Match Results: -899999453xp....
As of right now, it seems to only affect Xbox 360 gamers but that is not to say the same issue won't pop up on the PC or PlayStation 3 versions of the game.

Interesting, haven't come across this yet and hope not to, though hacked servers are usually easy to spot. Generally it's customer matches set up on Ground Wars, hence if you searching for a normal team deathmatch and end up in GW, you KNOW something is up.
-
So I stolled right into a hacked game last night. First indication something was wrong was when there were 18 people in the lobby.
So I thought it was a patch or something. Then I get in the game and kill someone is like 5x1800666xp per kill. So I was like waaaa?
Proceeded to jump over an object, I went FLYING and got killed by someone HIGH ABOVE me.
I was on like level 65 and by the time I came out, I was at level 70!!!
-
lol. could have been a mixture of the two.

1st problem: you 'stolled' into the server. If you 'strolled' in, then maybe everything would have been A-OK. :laughing7:

Reffering to the HOST, it's a client-server model where each host can become a 'server' once their connection is suitable. So the 'server' is the person who is HOSTING the game.

And to add to the above, said host always has the host advantage as they experience "0" ping. Though in a regular server model, if someone is playing on the server he also experiences "0" ping.
(Said before, but just reiterating the similarities).

I see they just patched the game. lets see whats what.
-
Oh they did eh?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't patches supposed to cure FAIL (http://www.modernwarfail2.com/2010/01/17/patch-1-0-175-your-shipment-of-fail-has-arrived/)?
Oh yeah...and that paid for DLC (http://www.destructoid.com/modern-warfare-2-dlc-exclusive-to-360-for-30-days-161042.phtml) ('new' maps...ROFL) is comin. Hurry up and get that lube. :laughing7:
...seems like its Xbox-exclusive for a while too (http://www.destructoid.com/microsoft-justifies-its-early-exclusivity-of-dlc-160040.phtml). I guess when you write big checks, you get the 'hoes' to do your bidding, right? :)
Lemme hear allyuh PNM spin doctors on this one... :laughing7:
*waits*
...oh, and I now finish playing online...AFTER this so-called 'patch'. :laughing7:
I luvs me some IW fail. :laughing7:

Strictly speaking this is normal for console games, DLC is pretty much the norm, it will only be exclusive temporarily as well. Haven't you bought DLC for other games?
-
...ahm, I'm talking about the PC version, where it has always been free. Remember CODs 1, 2, and 4? Remember those?
Free 'DLC'. You can thank M$ sucking IW big fat d!@k for this current trend of wanting to charge money for every little s#!t.
Not that I bought it or anything, but oh F@CK it man, throw gamers a bone nah. All tha money done made, and STILL
they wanna wring every last dollar from you. F@CK that!!!
-
I don't have it for PC, only playing it on PS3 these days.

Which is just to show that he's still 'hurt' by IW actions and WANTS BADLY for MW2 to have all the things MW and previous versions had XD. His other 'HOSSes' must not be keeping him occupied enough to stay away from the IW fail XD
-
Im hoping for about 5 maps.
-
Ok, I'll admit it...I have a MW2 tabanca, but it aint intense enough to make me buy it.
...and I have to echo Blu_Vice's sentiments. All that money M$ shell out, for only 30 days exclisivity?
On another note though, the 'classic maps' part of the DLC is to be totally Xbox 360 exclusive.
I dunno, you release a game multiplatform, and then only jump on one side when it comes to the DLC? I know its 'just business', but something about that just seems unethical, but then, ethics don't write checks. :shakehead:
-
Ah it's all about exclusivity no matter how short. Think about it, when you are buying a system if both PS3 and 360 are pretty close getting content earlier on one platform may sway your decision. This is even more powerful when you see early content coming out for titles you actually plan on purchasing. This strategy will be used to push xbox 360 sales.
-
dunno if this was posted before
http://www.destructoid.com/ea-plans-to-launch-a-strong-attack-on-call-of-duty-159883.phtml (http://www.destructoid.com/ea-plans-to-launch-a-strong-attack-on-call-of-duty-159883.phtml)
Arc this is for you.
"In March we will launch Battlefield: Bad Company 2, which is our first strong attack on Call Of Duty," boasts European boss Jens Uwe Intat. "The shooter space is one we don't want to give up. It's an important genre and we were the number one. So we are certainly working on how we can get that crown back and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is an important product in that context.
-
As good as BF BC2 will be and I do HOPE it is better than MW2, I was never a big fan of the massive maps and Large player numbers. Honestly I get frustrated when on a small team with little-poor communication, so on a MASSIVE map with 10-20-30 ppl and everyone just running around like headless chickens it PISSES ME OFF. Either way i'll be getting BC2 since yuh could never go wrong with more GOOD options.

lol, sorry bro, that ent cutting it, is just 1 month and there will be no way to justify the money they put out as there is no way to verify if this DLC thing made people buy the game.
30 days exclusivity could never influence the decision of any informed adult (as the game is for mature audiences) on this product as it is now post release. Had it been a brand new game just about to launch then yeah, it would have mattered a lot! But seeing as they got so many sales already, the main factor affecting people with more than 1 platform is probably gonna be based on what their friends are playing.
You are a gamer interested in online play and you have a 360 and a PS3, on each platform you have 20 friends on your buddy list. Of the 20 on XBL 5 have MW2; of the 20 on PSN all 20 have MW2... now you are about to buy MW2 and you see this 30 day thing telling you that the 360 gamers alone getting this, but only for 30 days: do you think this will be a more important factor for your purchase than what the people on your friend list playing?
IW outsmart MS with that one, the 360 versions of the game would have sold regardless of the DLC being available on one platform before the others.
I didn't mean that people will choose the 360 over ps3 just because of one exclusive DLC. You are right with individuals wanting to play with friends on their respective systems. My point is that there are still some that are buying a 360/PS3 for the first time, having exclusive DLC is one way of swaying people to your platform, and while a 30 day exclusive may not seem like a big deal if more titles get similar treatment with 360 getting it first you can be sure that this will sway some people.
Take me for instance if I was a first time buyer of either a ps3 or 360 it would be a very hard choice short of buying both consoles/games, reason being I have a bunch of friends on either system. Both systems have their merits and getting content first would be a draw to some people where their budgets are limited from buying both.
-
I've been readin the forums and usually ps3 gamers complain alot when Microsoft gets exclusivity for something, but alot seem really happy lol
MAG, Heavy Rain, God of War 3 amongst other exclusives for PS3 are incoming.
That 30 days is nothing though that ethics point is so true.
-
'Ethics' is nothing more than an opinion, a human conceptualization of what they define and right and wrong. MS $$$ suggest it's right and ethical, those who are bitter at the idea that one PAYING customer should get early access to a 'feature' are just not getting paid. If MS was paying YOU, you'd shut ur mouth and know ur role XD.
If early releases are an 'ethical' debacle then why are exclusive titles like GOW3 and MGS ok? why shouldn't all developers be REQUIRED to release on all platforms. It's NOT PRACTICAL is 1 easy and obvious answer or you make more on a particular platform perhaps? regardless of the definitive reason this 30 days exclusivity is NOTHING to even piss in the wind about.
-
I don't think that exclusive titles is an issue of ethics.
There's too much reasoning behind a game being exclusive, i.e., in-house developers, budgets, experience.
Its never been an ethical issue where people are offended because a game isn't released on their console.
They wish it was...but simply this point is pretty silly.
The ethics in this is that the game has been released on 3 platforms yet the developer due to a suspect paid agreement with Microsoft chooses to release dlc on one platform, then release some of that dlc on the other platforms 30days after.
In my "opinion" a developer should release dlc for all the platforms there game is on simultaneously. It just seems so silly that you give to a platform this small time of exclusivity. But as its known money talks.
Anyway... I'm not "pissing in the wind" about this. I'll be playing MW2 as I have been playing during that period along with other games.
-
And who's to say MS didn't pay for the extra DLC for the 360? Meaning if I as the console manufacturer, think that my supporters would appreciate certain 'extras' and I decide to PAY the game developer to add certain extras, why should the developer let the other platforms benefit from MY expenditure? If I go to Intel and say i'm willing to aid ur R&D and pay upfront in return for early release (*cough* Apple *cough) and access to your tech isn't that me paying for a service?
When did paying for a service or item or anything for that matter become a crime? I am trying to differentiate my product, what's wrong with me paying more money to do that?
(i'm no MS picketer mind you, I just trying to be devil's advocate).
-
But also, Xbox Live is not FREE like PSN, so....paying $50.00 a year should come with certain perks like early release on DLC...don't ya think? :P
-
No no...you all have valid points yes.
Just like premium Live, premium PSN (Qore) has its perks also (BF2BC beta etc.)
I'm not making an issue of where Microsoft should not get what they paid for.
I'm simply stating a simple opinion....not trying to argue anything.
I'm just saying basically, everyone who buys a particular game REGARDLESS of platform should at least enjoy all of that game's content.
Its like buying Modern Warfare 2.1, and you get Modern Warfare 2.2 on another console.
Its just plain damn stupid that someone owns the PC or PS3 version of any game but some "paid" dlc is only available on another platform or for some limited time even.
Why can't that point of view be understood.
Yes MIcrosoft paid money as they always do for these things...and yes they should get what they paid for but thats not the point.
I'm just voicing that I don't like that. Thats all. So stop justifying it :|
-
Ah well enough talk, goin to play some modern warfare 2.
-
But also, Xbox Live is not FREE like PSN, so....paying $50.00 a year should come with certain perks like early release on DLC...don't ya think? :P

WOW!!! Such wonderful physics...why am I vex with IW again? :laughing6:
-
It wouldn't be so bad if the knife wasn't a one hit kill. I can fire off 4 rounds in someone before they throw the knife which touches the tip of my shoulder and kills me.
-
...and I like how the knife slap im in de side of he pan too.
Man literally get planass from a knife and dead. :laughing6:

The real question is, are such knife throw kills the norm?

I'm losing too much sleep to this game XD

LMAO!
I've seen this happen more than 5 times on PSN..I've done the same 4 times or so..the first time i noticed it but didnt get them before the nuke :(.
Video was badass though..specially the UT voices etc.
-
I've honestly never seen it, then again I seldom play ffa. That aside this game has been in my xbox practically from the day it was bought (launch date) and has come out only a FEW stress on FEW times... to play some ODST... otherwise it stays in.
-
nah not only in FFA. In team deathmatch sometimes joining on a game puts you on the opposite team. The 2 culprits, each on a diff team pre-plan where to meet and abuse the tactical insertion.

Never seen that before XD but then and no offense I am really gathering from what I hear about PSN that it's mostly n00bs on MW2. My cousin constantly tells me about how BAD the ppl on PSN in MW2 cause he wracks up RIDICULOUS kills and he's no better or worse than I am and TRUST Me I get my @$$ handed to me now and again, but it just DOES NOT happen to him on PSN. My FIRST and ONLY 2 matches on PSN I got 8k3d then 16k4d... I was like I WISH I could get games like this on XBL often, sadly it SELDOM EVER happens.

LOL....if you didn't notice, I've raised my K/D Ratio to 1.20....gone are the days where I was at 1.00 when you were 1.09....LOL
In fact, was in a game with Agokillya yesterday and went 33-1...called in 2 predators and 2 Chopper Gunners...sadly the last chopper gunner was called in at the last kill to end the game...LOL

8k3d not really impressive tbh
wat did u do for the entire 10mins????
ps3 are full of casuals and kids on mw2, whereas on 360, which is the more competitive system to begin with, u got the MLG hopefuls so expect more n00bs on ps3 side
the games where u find the majority of skilled PSN ppl playin are usually not cod games, at least not pubs anyway
-
8k3 was first ever attempt without knowing the buttons, using whatever sensitivity and using the PS3 inferior button layout for FPS XD. 8k3 is FAR from ANYTHING. Point is I didn't end up negative, which is EASY on XBL if you're not careful. Oh and using the standard assault class, no custom killstreaks, iron sights, etc.
-
^ i never used sights
iron sight FAMAS and SCAR are all u need
FAMAS is d best gun in d game
1 or 2 burst kill, ridiculous accuracy even with iron sights and shoots faster than the dreaded m16
inferior button layout?
i play on my cuz 360 an i got ps3 an i dont feel ANY different wat so eva using either controller
my button layout is mapped to the 360 style using d triggers to shoot an aim.
standard layout is d same really jus swap d shoot an nade buttons to the top rather than bottom
y'all does make it sound like d ps3 controller is an abomination for fps
-
i would not call it an abomination, it's a good controller, but the 360 feels natural for shooters
QFT
-
...and to think I played Bad Company 2 a whole lot better on the PS3 controller.
I prefer the PS3 controller's analog sticks. To me it feels a lot smoother. However, I do find that the Xbox 360's controller better suited to action/driving/flying games.
I guess its just a matter of preference. To say that the PS3 controller is an 'abomination' is a bit unfair.
-
i really dont see the diff in the controls tbh jus 1 hav d analogs a bit higher that really dont make any difference to me at all (yes i hav used both extensively)
-
The PS3 man said it was an abomination btw. It's so odd that you prefer the PS3 for FPS but then to be fair arc when we DO see you online you're NEVER playing with us so you can't play THAT many FPS on the 360 IF any at all XD. And yes there is a difference, firstly the PS3 controller feels small in my hand (fairly, that is after using the 360 for so long) and I (and my brother) have an issue with knifing since we sometimes found ourselves knifing instead of aiming, but I do believe that will sort itself out with time getting accustomed. To it's credit the PS3 version looks cleaner and aiming seems faster (I believe this is a result of the cleaner graphics making for a smoother feel). I still rather the positioning of the 360 analogs and I prefer the feel of the analogs in the 360. The PS3 analogs feel loose but again time could change that. Either way my initial post was to highlight that PSN seems to lack more competitive players which is highlighted by me not getting my @$$ handed to me when I was 'handicapped' playing it for the 1st time EVA.
-
Always preferred the 360 controller for FPS games, even after using the PS3 controller for about a year I still prefer the feel of the 360 controller in FPS games.
-
I can swap from playing Uncharted 2 to playing Modern Warfare 2 on my 360 in an instant and I adapt to both controllers very easily. I can tell you that if I were to use the PS3 controller for games like MW2, the trigger buttons would have to be re-mapped, then it should be fine.

I agree with this 100% when I played with the default I was like WTF... trigger... no... grenade.. no... ARGH XD

well yes ps3 does lack more competitive players but as i highlighted sony built there competitive fanbase on the original SOCOM series back on ps2
if u wanna see ps3 competitive players check games like SOCOM, MAG, KZ2
u wont find those players on cod
-
How many people here on GATT got MAG?
-
^ none but me im sure
why?
-
Was wondering about how many other trinis playing it, met any others battling over there?
-
nope havent met any an if it had any in d matches i played probably didnt hav any mic
only trinis i know gettin it are ghosty, Lil-King2 and dvon say he will take it wen d price drop a bit and also triniboyblue love it but hadda wait till he get money and Webion suppose to buy it as well
so about 5 others i know of, not counting suki and apprentice cuz ah not sure if them still gettin it

It seems that this PRO seems to be banning anyone he deems fit for violating the TOS. Which part of the clip cant you hear cause I heard everything in this vid

Don't have speakers at work so can't hear anything atm, anyone have experience with MODS on XBL?

My bad I was indeed referring to the "PROS"? Did not know they use their powers evil lol.
Here's an interesting blog article about MW2 and why he thinks it isn't much of a team based game. While I do agree that there are other games out there with more team work involved I don't think the COD series has really done anything wrong in taking certain characteristics from RPGs such as leveling in order to prolong the game experience.

-
Well in a random game MW2 isn't team based at all. In domination though, if you DON'T work as a team you can get some serious hurt. For the most part when we're playing (trinis) we communicate often enough (myself more than others) I usually give out info on enemy locations direction, what weapon they're using. We don't have formations and such though, so it's no Tom Clancy to be sure. But in domination i've seen teams work like machines, locking down choke points, taking up all the sniping positions and REALLY putting the hurt on us, NOT because they're particularly better but rather they work as a team better.
-
Yeah sure the objective modes require teamwork though I find games like Battlefield encourage it more. For example in MW2 staying close to teammates is a liability, one well placed claymore/grenade can take everyone out. In Battlefield it pays to stick together with bonuses being handed out for defending and more importantly medic and resupply classes...
-
That works both ways, in same domination the teams that have really taken us to task have moved in pairs. As soon as we manage to take out the one holding the vantage points, his backups move into position whilst the respawned enemy distracts or kills us trying to stop the replacement. As for battlefield... i've not been fortunate enough to have a team to play with so thus far it's been a frustrating experience with my team usually getting WIPED, cause everyone just doing their own thing and NOT even defending the targets or attacking them... its annoying. Ask cory bout the time we played. The 2 of us tried but just got gunned down to the point where the damn DEFENDING team had advanced to our spawn and was spawn killing... FCUK that was frustrating.
-
I'm referring to the series as a whole not just this installment, I've found Battlefield to be more rewarding when playing as a team especially with the class system of revives etc. The most you get in MW2 is that perk where you revive urself after 10 seconds down. While ppl may argue that team work is involved since the downed man has to be protected I prefer the active teamwork in terms of support activities such as repair, resupply, healing, reviving etc.
Don't get me wrong, MW2 is great and does have some level of teamwork but just not to the same degree as the BF series. That said they are 2 different games with MW2 being faster paced....
-
W1nTry, I say give BC2 another try, but with Cory and me, and perhaps Jarrox if he gets his Gold account back online..but its fun. Not as fast paced as MW2 but fun nonetheless! Lets do eeeeeeeeeeeet!! ROFL
-
Ready when you are
-
MAG > all
in terms of teamwork
cud still solo in BC2 an get the job done
cod............camp for killstreaks they seem to get the job done well enough
pre killstreak infested cod had teamwork tho
@ W1n Dom is where ppl camp the most since its the easiest mode to whore nukes
CTF is the best team based game type in MW2
demo would hav been 2nd eh but it rel easy to spawn trap the defenders since they spawn in the exact spot
SnD would probably hadda take 2nd spot
if ah man get a killstreak tho its more or less game over
dunno why they enable that in a 1 life game type to begin with

Already on Prestige II level 34-35 I think....LOL
We should post our stats to compare....
Currently have 16,000+ kills, approaching 17,000 shortly with a K/D Ratio of 1.33

Well, continue to play that POS 'game'. I'll be having way more fun, blowing up LOTS more shiznit, in a myriad of ways, while you and said millions
just camp, and glitch, and hack, and shoot your little guns at one another, and fawn over K/D ratios, and generally just do the same shiznit over, and over, and over again....and for what? So-called 'Prestige'?
I'll be driving boats, tanks, APCs, HMMVWs, flying choppers, UAVs, calling in artillery, capturing bases (with squads that actually communicate).....and the list goes on.
Meanwhile, you'll still be just going for more so-called 'prestige', and STILL doing the same old, tired shit to get there...and jizzing about K?D ratio. *ROFL*
Your whole Modern Warfail society is the saddest bunch to ever populate the hallowed halls of modern FPS gaming
Continue your sad, pathetic, FAIL.

New Call of Duty biz unit unveiled, Sledgehammer COD confirmed, Asian MMOG spin-off planned
* By Tor Thorsen, GameSpot
* Posted Mar 2, 2010 2:16 pm PT
Activision unveils department focused on expanding franchise, confirms rumors Bay Area studio working on COD "action-adventure" title for 2011; massively multiplayer licensing in negotiations; Infinity Ward apparently only involved in MW2 expansions.
The day after a dramatic shake-up at Modern Warfare 2 developer Infinity Ward, Activision Blizzard has officially revealed its plans for the studio's signature Call of Duty series. As suspected, those will not include studio president Jason West and CEO Vince Zampella, who "are no longer with Infinity Ward," according to a statement. Two Activision Publishing executives, chief technology officer Steve Pearce and head of production Steve Ackrich "will lead Infinity Ward on an interim basis."
In fact, Activision's Call of Duty plans largely exclude the studio which created the signature first-person shooter series. In an announcement this afternoon, the company said it is forming a massive new business unit dedicated entirely to expanding the first-person shooter franchise.
However, other than the two upcoming Modern Warfare 2 map packs, the announcement does not mention Infinity Ward at all. This means the studio could be focusing on the "unique new IP" it announced in 2008 when many of its top developers renewed their contracts.
In a statement, Activision Blizzard said that the new business unit will "expand the Call of Duty brand with the same focus seen in its Blizzard Entertainment business unit. This will include a focus on high-margin digital online content and further the brand as the leading action entertainment franchise in new geographies, new genres and with new digital business models."
As suspected, the next Call of Duty will be developed by Treyarch, and will arrive sometime later this year. According to rumors last year, it will be set either during the Cold War or Vietnam War. Activision did not offer any new details about the game's plot, setting, or launch.
However, Activision did confirm a long-standing rumor that a second Call of Duty game is in the works at a non-Infinity Ward studio. That shop is indeed Sledgehammer Games, the San Francisco Bay Area studio Activision formed last year by hiring two key Dead Space developers away from Electronic Arts. Due in 2011, the unnamed title "will extend the franchise into the action-adventure genre," according to the statement, lending weight to rumors the project is a third-person spin-off of the series.
Were that not enough news, Activision also confirmed that it is moving forward on CEO Bobby Kotick's stated desire to expand the Call of Duty brand into massively multiplayer gaming. The company said that it is "is in discussions with a select number of partners to bring the franchise to Asia, one of the fastest growing regions for online multiplayer games in the world." The majority of those games are based on the microtransaction-based business model. A Call of Duty version of such a game might resemble Electronic Arts' free-to-play war shooter Battlefield: Heroes, launched last year.
The man leading the new Call of Duty unit certainly has experience in the East. He is Philip Earl, current head of Activision Publishing's Asia Pacific operations and a former senior executive at Nestle and Procter & Gamble.
-
Is that all you got? :)
You can keep the doubles, W1nTry...I'll live longer. Gimme a subway instead. :laughing7:
If BC2 = bitterness, well bring de bitter I say. Ah go take a whole CASE of that kind of bitter. :lol:
-
I think I'm on Prestige 1 - 12,000 kills
And 2.05 K/D ratio.
On PSN that's really not that hard
still sayin that after only a couple games on PSN?
then again cod on d whole doesnt really take much skill period
cod4 > mw2 in terms of skill
plus im pretty sure App cud run easily handle himself on d 360 as well
-
Dread is meh cousins that telling me that they only play on PSN. Meh lil cousin on Nuke 4 or something... i'm better than he is and I haven't managed to even get a 25 kill streak... highest is 23 sadly with an AC on rust XD. I can't believe men still bitter though.. WOW... O_O
-
ok lemme put it this way
hopefully u cod players can understand
hondahoe_ 0.49 KDR or sum shit so
he got a nuke
me last time i played 1.35 KDR
no nuke
yet he proclaims to be better than me JUST because he got ONE nuke
thing is i played with him.....not good
its not hard to get nukes
all u need is a 7 killstreak and u good to go
KDR in cod also means very little since that stat can be very easily fluffed by said killstreaks which give u FREE unearned kills
sorry if im old school but if i am dominating ppl why would i need free help? am i not already ownin?
last but not least u say u are better than ur cousins (probably true but jus tryin to make a point)
how do y'all judge skill?
kdr?
highest killstreak?
# of nukes?
all those are really meaningless when judging a players skill.
its what some1 brings to the team and how well their decision making is that really makes a good player.
look @ my clan member kghosty as a prime example
her kdr in kz2 was like .78 was she bad? hell no
if she wanted she can go beast an destroy, hell she outgunned me many times in kz2 but she likes to WIN and wud constantly be rushin and doin objectives to get that win and not caring two hoots about kdr.
only way to judge some1's skill effectively is by playin with said person cuz stats dont really mean anything tbh
-
Nah I played him and kicked his teeth in, whilst playing de ass XD that's how I know i'm better than him. Beefshinx is on PSN he's prolly as good as or even better than me (marginally) and he says its too easy, those are his words not mine mind you.
-
meh probably runnin with scrubs
still wud put my money on App more than hangin with yall if not even doin better than some of yall over on 360.
we will see , suppose to be gettin my system close to wen reach come out
i wont b on dat n00bfest mw2 tho. will see me on Reach and Gears (pendin d amount of lag still within that game)
oh an FYI 1v1s in cod dont prove u better than some1 eh
just an even bigger version of hide an go see
i wud probably lose 1v1s even to my scrubby brother due to my utter lack of patience tryin to find ONE guy on big ass maps with corners to hide every 2 steps.
if cod had an octagon gametype like H3 then that wud b a much better test to see who better
-
Nah, play on Rust, doh deal up on large maps for 1v1 that's retarded. And I hate to camp, it takes EFFORT from me to hide, I much rather run guns blazing, no patience for camp unless I ABSOLUTELY have to... which is only on certain game modes which I hardly play. App is good and i'd really like to sweat him sometime, i'll make a pass by meh cousins sometime and look him up, that being said there are some real BEASTS we run with Dyno, silvaback, etc. When yuh reach we'll see, redlum has 100 Trinis on his list and has to make room for more constantly....
Besides it's been a while since we sweat a gears, we could run it now and again XD
-
I think I'm on Prestige 1 - 12,000 kills
And 2.05 K/D ratio.
On PSN that's really not that hard

then again cod on d whole doesnt really take much skill period
cod4 > mw2 in terms of skill
plus im pretty sure App cud run easily handle himself on d 360 as well
Thank you Blu...
Anyhow... If i was on 360 i say with confidence my K/D ratio would be the same or even higher. (as much as i hate to brag, many people know this).
Nuke doesn't judge skill at all as I easily hand nuke people's ass on a platter. (Of all trinis including those that used hacks/cheats..I still have highest ratio, "on my list at least").
Your cousin just happens to join all the easy matches or gets matched with the noobs. He probably claiming that psn is so easy just to brag that he is a good player. I sure he gets pwned ever so often.
With millions of people on psn and live..its rather stupid to say live has better players.....
I'll also suck it up and admit I aint played MW2 for a while so I sure I'll get schooled by all them trinis i just bragged against lol.
-
Whenever you ready, join the jedi, we always have room for more on de squad. In my fams defense, what's the probability that say even 60%+ of the games he plays would match him with n00bs but 60%+ of the games I am in I am matched against good-better players? Just food for thought. I think Redlum should shed light since he is the ONLY one amoung us with BOTH.
-
lol well I dunno yes... could be most of live better than you? xD j/k
Anyway... in all fairness each console has their good players.. thats that. Could be that 360 does have "more" "better" players.. fair enough.
But all I'm saying is yes there are also beasts on psn and if they didn't exist my ratio wud be higher lol.
-
Cheers to that may-tee. Still I'd like to play against you sometime. We've come to expect when Apprentice appears on the opposing team that it's instant death when the game starts at spawn before you can run XD... I want to see it for myself
-
lol @ insta-death...
I not that good >.>
As I say I outta tune from CoD for a good while now...haven't played seriously since December maybe.
So for everything said above...may not be so great right now :(
-
i think i figured out why u stopped.......ITS BECAUSE U MISSED TEAMING WITH IS ME LOL
but seriously those were some fun games (ones that didnt lag and wasnt campy) was rel kix taking advantage of ppl :)
-
lol yea of course, thats why i stopped!
MW2 full of fun times because most of the trinis play it... thats why Slysuki and rest of them can't stop playing it cuz they always grouping up.
But right now I just want meh dam ps3 to play heavy rain, bioshock 2 and gow3! :(
-
yea u kinda need to get it back so u can tell me if bioshock 2 worth it lol

little update on the drama over at Infinity Ward and Activision
pretty interesting read
This lawsuit is solely and regrettably the result of the astonishing arrogance and unbridled greed of defendant Activision," the suit begins, before getting to the accusations at the heart of the dispute. The developers are accusing Activision of launching a bogus investigation into the pair's activities specifically for the purpose of firing them and evading contractual obligations, as well as royalty payments set to begin March 3
http://www.gamespot.com/news/6252956.html?tag=latestheadlines;title;1 (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6252956.html?tag=latestheadlines;title;1)
the timing of this is interesting though.
-
So this raises an interesting question.. was it infinity ward that decided to piss off/on its PC gamers or was it Activision handing down the mandate? Since this would indicate they're ALL ABOUT THE MONEY....
-
Pretty much any large corporation is all about the money, nothing unique here.

I am totally glad I resisted, and refused to become part and parcel of this fail. If this isn't vindication, I don't know what is.
I hope all of you who ignored better sense and judgement (I'm looking at EACH and every one of you, GATTers), and purchased this pile of fail,
are ok with the fact that in some small way, you contributed to Activision's current attitude, and the apparent 'beginning of the end' for Insanity Whored.
Oh, '...but the game is FUN, Arc' is what you'll be quick to tell me, and while I may not agree with you, your opinion of the game is yours,
however simple and misguided it may be. Consider this 'game' the last 'good' one you'll be getting bearing the Call Of Duty name, because
Activision already announced that another studio will be handling 'Modern Warfare' dev duties from here on in.
I hope you all truly got your money's worth. The rest of us have moved on to bigger and better 'Company' :lol: (and still playing CoD4 too).
Enjoy your hack/glitch/KD whore/cheat - fest.

There were two major issues I had with this game starting off which was the lack of dedi servers and the dlc thing.
I have had very little problems with lag and drops in my 150 hours of in game time therefore that is not an issue.
What have now come to bite us is the dlc issue. I thought surely by now we would have something but that doesn't look like its happening soon (if at all) and if it does, how good it will be if different people are handling its development?
Despite the fact that I am thoroughly fed up of all the maps and have not played in about a month, I'd go as far to say that I don't regret buying it because it was loads of fun both offline and online. Well worth the purchase.
I'm disappointed about the dlc and this internal rift and the impact it will have on the franchise. I hope they work it all out.
In the meantime, ill enjoy the bad company.

I agree, Bad Company here I come!

I still sweating the same maps regularly, once yuh in a crew (usually trinis) is real kix. That aside I do agree with the need for dlc. That being said, BF BC2 here I come sometime this week.

NOT PAYING 1200 ms points for those five maps (two of which should be f****** free)

ROFLMFAO!! What an interesting turn of events.

Well, Microsoft did pay a hefty sum to have this pack exclusively on their console for a period of time. How you think they are recovering that cost?
If they pull the "equality across all platforms" assness again and charge the same thing for the PC version I would personally uninstall the damn game.
-
$15usd for 3 maps... Q_Q
Anyhows...pretty much everyone I know that play MW2 on psn, live buying em anyway. Activision scores another win.

take this with an EXTREME pinch of salt. The idea does sound pretty bad arse tho. black ops throughout history, me wonders what the multi-player could be like.

-
lol its gonna be the same $15 on PSN cap
da exclusive thing have nothing to do with d pricing
d exclusive thing was to draw ppl to their console
imagine if ppl payin $10 for it on PSN and $15 on XBL....that wud get d XBL men vex and defeat the whole purpose of securing a timed exclusive deal on the dlc
dont know how d PC pricing for dlc does be but XBL and PSN are identical
might wanna uninstall one time and save some space for better games later this year :)

u wud have lost the bet Awesome
just as i said $15 on ALL platforms
M$ timed exclusivity had nothing to do with it
and it was just to attract more ppl to buy the 360 version or 360 itself since they were gettin "exclusive" dlc first
oh and steam have a pre order 10% off discount on d maps for those that still play

Wow. After the success Infinity Ward enjoyed with those 2 awesome games they made, its hard to believe that they may soon no longer be in existence.
They made United Offence man...UNITED OFFENCE!
I hope Activision crawls in a hole and die. At least some good would have come of all this. No developer would ever ever be mad enough to even BEGIN to contemplate doing all the $hit that IW continues to do.
I mean, $15us for 5 maps? F**K no!!
-
...3 of which are 'old favourites', not so? So in essence thats 15 US for 2 new maps right?
Madness.

FAIL CAPTAIN AWESOME!!!! Infinity Ward DID NOT make United Offensive. Grey Matter Interactive Studios made that game before they merged into Treyarch.

Anyone getting the stimulus pack ? :crybaby2: Stimulate the makes pockets

Nah I don't think so, the general consensus here is that it not worth it.

^true on GATT..
On PSN though most everyone have or are buying the map pack... Only about 4 people on my list don't have the map pack lol.
W1ntry, Redlum..you guys got the map pack on 360 right?

Yea we have the map pack...Agokillya, NDVenom33, Foz4ric, me, Silvaback, SlyCzar, and some others have the maps..
-
I think Blu_Vice meant to say "true on PC"
cause looks like a lot of console heavy GATTers got the pack. The PC camp doesn't seem enthused with the idea of paying for maps (and never were)
-
Indeed

console men is a bunch of tools
men really pay 15US for 3 maps? stueps men have moula to burn yes
cud KINDA understand d psn crowd since they only play one game and one game only so they need to extend d life of said one game for as long as possible

So does anyone play AlterIW's Modern Warfare 2? Because we have some dedicated servers up and looking for more men to jump in the sweat.
If you don't have it, download it, http://alteriw.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=24 (http://alteriw.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=24)
You won't be disappointed. On our servers we have statistics so men can keep track of how many kills, deaths they have, killstreaks, deathstreaks and you can earn medals for your accomplishments.
If you need more info, check their site out or you can PM me.
Regards.

Men running AlterIWNet since it come out. Is a shame that it actually running BETTER than
Black Ops eh. Epic fail boy Treyarch.
As for your error...it might be that your graphics setting exceed your GPU's capabilities.
Or it could be a driver issue.
More details (like system specs, and settings, driver versions) are required.
-
Well I know some play it, but it have some men who never even hear about it, so was just asking =/
btw, you ever got the black ops to not lag on your system?
-
well just for my 2c Black ops runs perfect here, no lag nun.
I could go as far to say that its one of the better performing Fps games on my pc right now.
I got some issues with altiwnet when it first came out tho. steam used to move wonky for some reason. that hasnt been since last year tho, so I figure those problems were fixed.

even after tweaking i still get some bad lag on Black Ops in CT but the same fellas who did AlterIWNet suppose to be working AlterOps.
-
Oh shut UP Berserk. * glares * The game is fail.
The fact that it's working for you is irrelevant.
All the complaints on all those forums out there can't be wrong.
-
simply stating that it working fine here. actually works better with me than battlefield bad company 2. thats just MY personal experience.
i ain't getting bait into some long drawn out useless argument on what is fail and what isn't. game works with me pretty darn good, battlefield has bad latency issues on my end. thats about it.
what can i say mileage may vary.
-
is there a way to save servers cuz having to keep scrolling throw de server list does get annoying
-
lol @ toting feelings
What's the advantage of this AlterIWnet??
Is it legitimate? That is, can we setup a dedicated server with this and advertise without risking some legal warfare?

The advantage is it's dedicated servers period. As for the legalities....hehehehe..... :laughing7:

Legalities? WE DONT NEED NO STINKIN LEGALITIES!!! DEDIS FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!

dedicated servers, free map packs, moded servers, what else ya want besides no hackers and server filters

ummm there are hackers, one ass was aimbotting like a bitch in the MFK server today.

Advantages of AlterIW?:
Dedicated servers

Player Stats tracking (kdr/rounds/longest killstreak, medals etc)
A variety of mods
