many of you are clueless. They are creating a system much like warcraft 3. Maybe you are too young to remember, but they did the same thing, and it is the best multiplayer system ive ever seen. Im sick of seeing a big pandora's list of servers, you never know if it is any good, they are laggy, crappy, all of them are different, allowing all sorts of things and setting their own rules. I dont much like the current system that games use. Give this system a try, there is a reason why blizzard is one of the most successful companies.

are you retarded? an RPG is much much less dependent on data coming through fast than an FPS

not to mention the fact that domestic internet is not sufficient to support the timely data flow for an FPS - not having dedicated servers will make this game suck hard.

You complain it's too hard to use a server browser and then call us clueless? Oh the irony Having a choice is never bad. EVER.
Also comparing apples to oranges does jack to prove a point.

Gotta keep milking the cow. All they have to do is provide and the blind sheep-like masses will keep on buying.

have some respect or leave the damned forums, we dont tolerate your bullshit. That being said, welcome to TPU:shadedshu

EDIT: warcraft 3 is not an RPG, for future reference.

Thank you ! That is the most frustrating thing I find on this thread. I will know soon enough who is right. Next week. Even if it rocks you ney sayers are bent on not using it and will probably never admit you may have under estimated their abilities. I am still looking forward to it. While I'm playing it I'll be sure to keep everybody updated for those that listen. I want a fair non-hacked level playing field. If you our clansman I can see the frustration, but that doesn't make it a bad investment. Like I said last night. I spend that much on a weekend watching football with my family.
With that being said I wonder if my second gamer listed below will play it at a low setting. I want to get 64 bit for my good gamer and don't want to get to far into it before the switch which is a month or so away.

 

[KainXS]

this is a solution, don't say anything because it seems when we get mad about one thing IW f*cks us all on something else like this 9vs9 multiplayer crap, or go buy something else, I found out whaty im gonna buy instead of this already.

Well yeah WC3 is not an RPG but an RTS, but you're being too pedantic.

 

[Mussels]

any RTS gamers on here will know how this works.

try playing supreme commander, company of heroes, or demigod online, and you'll see how a 4v4 gets, let alone a 9v9.


every player requires port forwards in order to host - if not, everything gets relayed through the host (requiring yet MORE upload bandwidth from them)

if a person acting as a relay drops, everyone connected through them drops too - splitting the game up badly.


to be honest this game doesnt sound like its going to be true P2P - its going to be the same old client-server that we're used to (to prevent the port forwarding issues for everyone but the host) but since theres no dedicated servers, its going to rely on the community to have port forwards (how many servers are going to have 18 noobs without forwards? i bet tons) and therefore, very very few hosts with the needed bandwidth to run it.


This is just a bigass failure, that will result in the average server having a 4-8 player cap just so it doesnt lag like a bitch.

I was talking to a friend who is in the military and when I told him about the game "not being balanced for corner leaning" he just loled hard... I'm gonna quote: "So they say that it's not balanced because noobs who can't shoot won't be able to kill you without effort if you just pop your head around the corner/tree/etc. to check for enemies or snipe... This game becomes more and more noob tolerant and less and less realistic." The man is a Major and has 7 years experience in the military and a lot more as a gamer, particularly as an FPS player. Enough said - IW fucked up big time.

Of course. Hes from Miami. My hometown. What a moron.

Modern Warfare 2 Pirate Thwarted by Investigators

A report in VentureBeat tells a tale of software piracy in our own backyard, and its serious consequences.
Eighteen-year-old Christian Del Amo was arrested by Miami-Dade police officers yesterday after allegedly attempting to sell pirated copies of Modern Warfare 2.

On October 30, Activision Blizzard hired online investigation firm IPCybercrime to look into suspicious posts on Craigslist advertising Modern Warfare 2 Xbox 360 bundles for sale, roughly a week and a half before their release date.

Posts in the piracy forums on xbox360iso.com seemed to indicate that Del Amo had obtained a copy of the game and cracked the copy protection this past weekend. The fact that pirated digital release copies of Modern Warfare 2 hit the torrent sites the next day doesn't seem like mere coincidence.
Investigators used social networking sites, user posts in online piracy forums, and several sting operations to identify those involved in the pirating operation, which ultimately lead to Del Amo's arrest yesterday.

Prior to this run-in, Del Amo had a site for selling modified Xbox 360 hard drives loaded with pirated software. For just $150, he'd sell you a 250GB Western Digital hard drive containing 125 pirated games.

"We plug leaks every day," said Rob Holmes, owner of IPCybercrime, "but this was one of the biggest ones of the year."

Can you please quit using that font? It hurts my eyes. Please just use the default font, I would very much appreciate it.

People who defend the game are really misguided, still you can buy the game i wont stop anyone but it doesn't mean i am going to be happy or anything.

And its not just about clans its the fact that Activison think the COD name is a license to print money, they can do any old stuff and sell it with the brand name and it will sell millions.

I bet the new COD game is made by GAYARCH, just a tweaked version of MW2 i bet a bit like World at War was made.

Bah plenty of other games to buy, this one doesnt deserve my cash. Id rather they killed it off than give us pc gamers sub standard games.

Don't you badmouth Treyarch! At least they give a shit about us, unlike IW.

More Bad News for Modern Warfare 2

Sorry guys, but this thread is too huge to read (read the last 2 pages though), but have you guys seen this:

PC gamers already had enough to be mad about with Modern Warfare 2 and the lack of dedicated servers, but it appears to be worse. An online chat with Infinity Ward representatives revealed that gamers may have more to gripe about. The maximum number of players per game will be set at 18, and the ability to lean has also been removed. Both of these were done to prevent game balance from being ruined. Also removed from this game is the ability to use console commands to modify game settings, or even record your gameplay. In the new matchmaking system, users also won't be able to kick problem users or those that are hacking. In addition, there is a five second delay any time the host needs to change. The most interesting aspect in my opinion is that Infinity Ward admitted that it is basically a direct port from the console. The lone exception is that “PC has custom stuff like mouse control, text chat in game, and graphics settings.” Its not all bad PC gamers, at least you can still use a mouse.

Well CoD:UO was awesome. CoD:WaW was Treyarch attempt to make good with the PC community for CoD:3. I think they did a great job too. At least THEY didn't try the crap that the "great" IW is pulling.

Oh and yeah they are in fact developing the next CoD. It rumored to take place in Vietnam.

I don't know what your friend told you, but it takes well over 7 years to become a Major. (10 years to be exact, but I haven't seen an officer do it in under 14 years.)

My credentials? 5th special forces group (airborne) 3 years as of january 2010.

I haven't kicked down a door in a long time, most anything is done electronicaly or calling in close-air support. I doubt he has any real-world experience in the matter.

Dude hes from Sofia, Bulgaria. No telling WTF they are doing over there.

Miami Dade Police... Wonder if Horatio Caine Busted him

 

[MilkyWay]

I cant belive that there are Gayarch fanboys! Unbelievable!

No wonder COD WAW was so successful its a straight rip off of COD4 but set in WW2. New setting new skins new maps same everything else.

They made some of the worse games with the COD license.

the only original thing in WaW was the coop. which is better than what MW2 is shaping up to be, where they take things away instead of giving us new things...
