SP is for when a. internet is down b. servers are down c. friends comeover and lastly but the most important imo d. if youre still on dialup.


Matchmaking on Rf:G is pretty terrible and the major reason i stopped playing it.

and this is why..

cannot chose best ping server.
lag
cannot choose fav map
cannot play with friends without a huge hassle to get it going
lag
always playing with random player (i like seeing familiar names on servers)
lag
cannot customize game time
cannot customize score limit

need i go on?

oh yeah and I did i mention lag?

It's just about the same as playing bots when you cannot build a familiarity with your friends/foes..

RUNNING WIN7 ALSO.....crashed me too

Nevermind, just tried and got in. The server listing in WaW seems shorter than normal, but it is a little after 2 am here. It may have been about an hour ago I was having problems.

In case everyone need more reason to be pissed off.....

Activision’s Bobby Kotick hates developers, innovation, cheap games, you

And he’s not just setting his sights on Guitar Hero and WoW fans. Talking about upcoming and expensive Activision titles such as Modern Warfare 2, Kotick said: “if it was left to me, I would raise the prices even further.”

Maybe the choice quotes of the event, though, came when Kotick talked about Activision’s developers; you know, the guys who actually make the stuff he gets so rich from. You’d think he’d have a bit of respect for them, right? Oh no, Kotick’s goal over the past 10 years has been – you couldn’t make this up – “to take all the fun out of making video games.” How? By instilling a culture of “scepticism, pessimism, and fear” amongst the company’s staff based around the economic depression and an incentive program that rewards “profit and nothing else”.

This guy is great! You just couldn't ask for this kind of material to fuel the fire.

I wonder how professional competitions and LANParties of MW2 will work. If I'm a professional gamer, I surely wouldn't want to join a game hosted by my opponent, especially when real money and prizes are at stake.

They'd have to have the host as a non-competing player, where all competetive players would connect to the host which will be left idle/spectating.

Or, more likely, they won't have professional MW2 tourneys - it's not like there aren't enough good FPS games out there which are far more accomodating to competative matches (does MW2 have anything unique for MP anyway?)

[inf3rno]

Don't know about the MW2's multiplayer, But MW's multiplayers was pretty much blood pumping.

I'm thinking T1 or something similar, but I'm sure its faster than that or at least the minimum. I have 2.5mbps downloads, .5mbps upload. The upload speed is what is important and this is how everyone's home internet connection is unless their paying lots more for better uploads.

im on a 16Mb/3Mb connection, so i CAN host all my games. but like i said, i still think the matchmaking service is a good idea, but horrible w/o the dedicated servers.

There wasn't much I could understand what with all of the bragging and opinions, but I agree MW2 will be horrible without dedicated servers.

In a royal dispute between gamers and Infinity Ward, developers such as DICE saw an opportunity to release a statement reiterating their support for dedicated servers in Battlefield games. What set off some employees in DICE was a recent twitter post by an Infinity Ward developer:
"Seriously, people, grow up. The stunts you people are pulling only hurts your case and gets you nowhere .about 6 hours ago from TweetDeck"
The post came from IW_hyphen a.k.a. Mr. William Cho, Developer over at Infinity Ward. From one side, it is impressive how overall simplification of Internet communication is returning us to inter-human communication known as the "online caveman".

Now, taking a page out of DICE's book… "Battlefield was born on the PC, it grew up with dedicated servers and even when it left the nest and became multiplatform it remembers it's roots. We're doing the PC version of BC2 right. We won't stomach a console port tossed off to some "lesser" studio like our competitors chose to do. We've got our top PC devs working on the PC version side by side with the console team. We don't do ports. It's not the game we'd want to play, and we know it's not the game you want to play either."

So, what can we gather from all of this? Infinity Ward strongly believes they are right in forcing a system that requires all users to authenticate through their system and requires that all users use THEIR servers and matchmaking. Now that Infinity Ward is trying to fight off the entire bad PR, they are also trying to justify their move towards more equality among gamers. The company is trying to justify their move by saying that this will increase gamers' access and make it easier for them to play games. But at the same time, this will effectively kill clans and competitive play. And we will most likely see people skip this game altogether from a competitive stance, not even talking about all of the angry PC gamers. Also, bear in mind that if the company does not significantly invest in network infrastructure, the result will be very negative for the company.
Unfortunately, neither Infinity Ward nor its publisher have a good track record at building network infrastructure capable of coping with tens of thousands of concurrent players. It took World of Warcraft over two years to build a network infrastructure capable of handling the load of millions of players in this ever-popular title, and if you were a gamer from day one, you remember what was going on. And this is for fairly ping-irrelevant title. In First Person Shooters, Infinity Ward does not have the comfort of MMORPG-type delays, every millisecond means difference between server acknowledging a kill from one side or another.
