Is that for the mouse/keyboard to?

 

[joinmeindeath417]

I don't remember the prices off the top of my head but there really over priced. The only controller that is wireless is the PS3 one?

Yep, weird thing is that the 360 controller is wired yet they left the PS3 one wireless.

Microsoft didn't want there controller to compete with Offical M$ controllers. Hence why you see no 3rd party wireless 360 controllers

 

[mastrdrver]

Don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but if you have a Microcenter around, they are give a $10 gift card if you preorder MW2. Guess what I'm doing this weekend?

more likely that they didnt want to have to deal with complaints about unofficial ones causing intereference, or screwing things up.


then again, corded is actually good - it'll work on PC as well as 360.

Or you can get a wireless reciever for PC. 1 reciever will connect to usb and allows use of 1-4 controllers or even guitar hero controllers.

love mine.

+1 It's great, I play NFS Shift, Crysis Warhead and GH (sick on PC) using that miracle adapter, mine was a rip cos it came with a controller too however, t'was $90 AUD.

Sucks that COD is delayed, but I hope it's worth the wait, I really wan't to stress my 5870 on it

Was this actually confirmed from Activision? I've still yet to hear anything from them officially.

You can't Alt-Tab your way out of a game and launch your web browser in a console.

Yea M$ doesn't let any companies use wireless tech unless it is there "official" wireless tech and is certified by M$, which means it would cost exactly the same as a M$ controller.

So most companies don't even bother for Making wireless controllers for Microsoft, because they can't compete at the same price.

It sucks i was going to get one if it was wireless, i like the idea of macro keys on a controller for like jumping or "Double tap" R trigger RAPID FIRE!!

Gamespot have the PC version of the game listed as a 11/24/09 release date. So i'm guessing its been confirmed.

But i don't believe Activision has said anything on the matter tho.

 

[mastrdrver]

Yea, I've see the Gamespot one and was the first place I could find in the states they showed it being delayed. Everything else was always linking back to that UK article. There has been 1 or 2 people over on [H] who mentioned they got a notice from Best Buy saying they will get the game 2 week later.

I just wasn't sure if there same something else I've missed.

OK... I have good news and bad news.

Good news?
Game is not delayed.

Bad news?
PC version has been utterly and completely f***ed.

NO MORE DEDICATED SERVERS.

IW partnering through Steam is what you will see in the future. Matchmaking is not through Steam, but IW.NET is run in conjunction with Steam.
GSP's will no longer be renting out servers.
No PunkBuster. VAC will be used as an anti cheat.
Retail distribution: Pre-orders will get a disk. Or you could order from Steam.
DLC may now need to be paid for - not confirmed.
Piracy was only a small reason for going to IW.NET - not the whole reason.

Clans:

No more clan servers. Private matches, replace clan servers.
Listen servers will connect to each other.
IW.NET/Steam will replace the community server admin
Competitive Gaming

Competitive gaming has changed forever.
It might be possible in the future for IW engineers to load a "competitive" setting on IW.NET, but it is far from a guarantee. It might also never happen.
Modding

Modding the game is now very much in question. Fourzerotwo had no info on modding. However, it appears that there will be no mods or maps for MW2.
Modding in SpecOps? Unknown.

Today our game has changed for ever.

I'll leave this post with Josh Peckler's comments from planetmedalofhonor.com:

The server community is what's made us. It's what defined us.

IW.NET is getting the PC community to turn into consoles. You're trying to re-write our history.

FU IW. You can shove it!

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.

^^ I saw that earlier it cant be true...Thats the bread and butter for IW, thats why so many people still play COD4 now. There would be no reason to play the game without Dedicated servers. Especially since i play COD4 now in Leagues and at LANs for money. I wont buy it if it does ship like that

 

[rpsgc]

Everyone send an e-mail to info@infinityward.com
Let them hear our dissatisfaction.

 

[twicksisted]

i was about to post a thread about this bad news!!!... what a load of wank!!!!
seriously i was so looking forward to this game how can you host a 50player map P2P!!!.

cancelled my preorder and hope that no PC gamers buy it out of principle.... (not condoning this behaviour either of course) but I sincerely hope that pirates rape the crap out of it too on xbox & pc!

Infinity Ward...bah!

 

[rpsgc]

They never gave a shit about the PC, the same platform that made them famous, if it wasn't for the success of COD on the PC they'd be nothing.

 

[twicksisted]

aaah welll .... i love COD myself, but theres going to be other games that will take its place... as its left a void in the market.... so be it, let it die
someone else will step in with a worthy game to fill the gap.... now just to wait for it!

 

[rpsgc]

Feel free to e-mail info@infinityward.com to show them your dissatisfaction. Even attach a screenshot of your cancelled pre-order.

This to me looks like how they can get you to pay for downloadable content. I honestly don't see this having anything to do with piracy.

 

[twicksisted]

and that downloadable content will be pirated along with the game as no self respecting PC gamer will buy it
(obviously i wouldnt stoop so low myself as to actually pirate a game or anything else for that matter...disclaimer ended)

 

[CDdude55]

Still getting it for PC, as i only care for the singleplayer.
