So your not really talking about MW2 are you, you mean gaming as an whole. Also, do you mean the future of just PC gaming or console gaming too? Obviously, with consoles the devs are limited. So games like MW2 look pretty good on a console and not so good by high spec PC standards (when the console version is ported to the PC).

Personally, and I wish this wasnt the case, but I think PC gaming is dying and the publishers/developers know this :( Mainly because its those same companies that have caused this to happen.



I used to be right into PC gaming (check my history on here and you will see), Ive even had a few kickass gaming rigs. But in the end I found I was spending too much cash on it and not getting enough back (ie f*cking Crysis......I couldnt even run that bitch nice with CrossFire and a OC'ed Quad Core!)

Yeah the games dont look as nice on a console, but for the small pricetag on a console, compared to mega £££'s on a GFX card, I can live with that.
Once you add in the cost of a separate computer for all of your non-gaming related tasks, a console is not that much cheaper than a budget gaming rig, and the budget gaming rig will have gfx just as good, if not slightly better. Not to mention the average price for a new console game is $10 more than the average PC release price, and you have to pay to play online on your 360, no, no you aren't saving any money at all. You took a step backwards for around the same price in the end.

I would never buy another IW game again.

The only reason for a grown man to buy consoles is to play things that are console specific. Either that or he needs something to occupy the kids attention, or to quiet the childs whining etc.

If building a budget gaming PC is too much money for someone's budget, they must have fallen on hard times. Consoles in the long run cost much more unless you buy everything on PC at MSRP and spend too much on the hardware through bad buying decisions. But if you pirate everything on console, it of course isn't as expensive but that is fairly rare. I think the companies love the pirates because it gives them an excuse to overcharge the masses for something or justify abusive behavior toward the customer base. Its not like those who pirate for themselves would have actually paid for the game to begin with. They are usually too poor or cheap to have paid full price anyway. I think the recent console banning was just to boost sales of units around the holidays as a smart guy said on the forums recently. Forgot who it was but I would like to give credit where its due.

I own all 3 consoles, and it's just as you say, I got them for the exclusives, and I got the Wii primarily for the kids to play, so they can game, yet still get a little exercise (I still kick them out of the house most days tho. lol)

Yeah, and by pirating on the 360, and then getting it banned, you have to buy another 360 just to play online, completely eliminating ANY price advantage it had to begin with.

Nope, saving money is not a good reason to buy a console. It doesn't save you anything.

Hate to say it, but the online portion of MW2 is pretty kickass. Just got done playing for a few hours and even with the lack of dedicated servers, it's still really fun. Haven't really noticed lag or anything like that. Although, I do hope they add some sort of dedicated server client or something.. I'd rather just have a server that I know everyone goes to than having to setup a party every time I get on..

Well proper stealthing after a game is released and with the latest firmware, never got anybody banned that I know of. Most pirates don't know any better though and make the mistakes of getting a console banned. The educated ones have nothing to worry about really.

I am just saying that its a small percentage of the console using market and its sad to have to pirate games to make something cost effective in the long run. I am just saying PC is the better choice but if you have plenty of extra money and don't mind, consoles are perfectly fine. PC gaming requires some technical know-how to take full advantage of that platform even more. But of course we don't mind, thanks to the knowledge we all share here.

I dont agree. I would spends shit loads of cash upgrading my PC because gaming on a budget rig is just crap. I use a laptop now for all my internet/burning etc needs and its just easier to have a console (or 2) linked up to the TV for some casual gaming. TBH, the PC doesnt really have a lot of titles that would warranty me to build another gaming rig (surely even you would have to admit that consoles get the best exclusives!).

Console games can be found fairly cheap also if you look in the right place. Modern Warfare 2 was on sale for the first few days @ £26. Personally I think thats very reasonable.

I know a lot of hardcore PC gamers that have decided to switch to consoles because they are the easier option and dont require upgrading every other month.

Actually m8, a lot of people that stuck to those rules got banned this time around because MS can now read your firmware ;)

Gaming on a budget gaming rig still has better graphics than a console, even tho it won't max out all the settings, it only takes medium in Crysis to be at a console's level. Most games that come out don't require more gpu power. My 8800GT still plays most games better looking at higher resolutions than a console. Going higher is a matter of choice, not need.

And even if you did need to keep upgrading, you still have to pay to play online on the 360.

You can disagree all you like, but the facts speak in favor of computers for gaming on a budget. Slightly higher entry cost, but cheaper games, and free online, coupled with better gfx, more versatility, and free online gameplay adds up to consoles costing more in the long run. To do everything a budget gaming rig can do, you have to buy both a 360 and a semi-decent computer. Add those 2 things together and you end up paying just as much, if not more, than that budget gaming rig.

And those that switched to consoles were never hardcore FPS gamers in the first place. A keyboard and mouse completely shames a controller for FPSs. It's not even a debate. And even if you attempt to argue in defense of a controller, you can still use one on a PC, so that's not in favor of consoles anyway. I flatly refuse to believe they were hardcore PC gamers. They were casual at best, or played WoW all damn day.

The 360 is pretty much the reason PC gaming is failing. When people decided that it was OK to pay a fee to play against others online, and OK to pay for DLC in the form of map packs and mods, they gave the devs the go ahead to try that model on other platforms, and now here we are, with shitty console ports that cost more money for less features than their predecessor. MS will never get a penny from me for Xbox Live Gold because of that. Not to mention, it's not worth the price anyway. Ohhhhhh, ahhhhhhh, you get achievements, friends list w/chat and stat tracking. Whoopty fuckin doo. Like you can't do those things on PC, for free.

The ONLY thing the consoles have in their favor is some of the exclusives. Everything else (up until this point anyway), was better on the PC.

More of an exception rather than the norm, every other online games are basically free. There are private servers for WoW too (I'm currently in one).

Yea, i know. Was just pointing out there are some games out there that make you pay monthly to play online. Basically i was being pedantic.

I told ya so. Its going to get a lot worse.

PC games cost money too, you know.:rolleyes:

I just bought Assassins Creed for 5 bucks and Overload trilogy is on steam for 8 bucks. Hell even L4D2 was only 44 bucks new. Thats a far cry from 59.99.

No kidding. They have DC burned and blown to bits too.
Should we take that as unamerican of bowing to terrorism too.
This game is rock solid. It run great on this second game machine
listed below this post too.

Do YOU get to blow up DC? No. Its not the same as the airport scene and you know it.

That was the first game that ever inspired me to throw a controller. *shudder*

Did you ever find all the pie? I did once but missed getting to the damn ship!

You can't fight an industry unless there willing to change there ways as a developer and marketer.
Ah and how do you get them to willingly change? By voting with your wallet.


Internally yes, YOU will reap the rewards of knowing you didn't pay for that game. Your $60 not going to them isn't hurting them if you choose to spend it elsewhere. Because they have 310 million reasons to get over it.;)
First off only Activision is saying they made 300 million in the first 24 hours. I want to see that confirmed by an outside source. Second by you buying this game you basically spared your butt cheeks and begged IW to give you a good "what for". If we all took that attitude and apply it to other things how would this world look? Why recycle? I mean pollution is so bad why bother? See what I mean? We have to start somewhere. ;)

This bullshit over the damn airport scene is getting ridiculous. Are people really that afraid to realize thats whats really going on in their real world that they have to bash a video game for portraying that? Utterly ridiculous honestly. The only reason its getting so much media attention is because the game IS that popular. If this was say, Spongebobs pc game nobody would give a shit.

well I dont think it would be a call of duty title if all the game did was encompass a few teletubbies running around throwing custod at each other - but I agree, the press are making a fuss over nothing..

secondly I must also warn that you are walking a thin line on weather this thread gets closed or not by debating the airport scene because it usually gets out of hand....



.:EDIT:.

If a game studio wanted to put the 911 or london bombings (like the time they blew up a bus) scenes in a FPs - I can understand why THAT would cause a stir.

And posting a debatable video with Fox news talking about the airport scene isnt worse than my post? Im just calling the whole thing rubbish. Play the game if you like, if not dont play it and call it a day. (Not you, people in general)
