Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 discussion thread

[scope54]

IW.net is doing the matchmaking and dedi servers, steam is working in conjunction with IW.net

 

[Rapidfire48]

This stupid move and going to make anything DICE makes that much better.

 

[CDdude55]

I'm laughing at all you suckers right now. Everyone trashed Treyarch. I bet you wished Treyarch was at the helm again. THEY love the community and haven't forgotten us.

They can keep there love for the community, its IW that gives us what we want...the game.(even if they are aholes for screwing us over on the MP)

So you want PvP servers and to pay for DLC. Um ok?

Like i said, this is coming from a guy that doesn't like nor care for COD's online. And as i said, i hate that they keep ripping people off. But IW just makes a stronger game in general and that's what i care for the most.


Its like how Microsoft can be a bunch of greedy bastards, yet i still love and use their operating systems.(or at least most of there OS's)

 

[DaveK]

Honestly I pre-ordered the game and I am going to go buy the game. It looks really awesome. Even though there might not be dedicated servers doesn't mean its going to ruin the whole entire game.

This.

 

[Mussels]

i just feel that they've ignored lanners


how is this system going to work when 500 people are in the one place, relying on some laggy shit to host his own client based server?

 

[WarhammerTX]

MW 2 cancellations

there HAVE been about 19000 according to some yahoo financial page
i really wish i could find the link, but IF you can trust me, its there
i just listened to the podcast where 402 explained it, and basically IWnet kills everything that makes PC gaming...PC gaming, which is pretty bad news from the perspective of anyone who's DL'd an awesome mod for a game.

 

[TheMailMan78]

Gee where are all the console fanboys at?

 

[Nick89]

Looks like I wont be getting COD MW2....

Fixed:

Honestly I pre-ordered the game and I am going to go cancel my pre-order of the game. It looks really awesome. But because there might not be dedicated servers means its going to ruin the whole entire game.

 

[dir_d]

Wow thats almost 1 million dollars taken away from preorders. I really hope it sends a message to IW. I dont care if the game gets pushed back as long as it has Dedicated Server support

 

[Deleted member 67555]

i hate the fact that it's delayed, i'm waiting so patiently and i'm running out of prestige ranks in cod waw lol

Me to...I have 9 slots open and I'm like 3, I think, into the 10th

I canceled mine.....Not paying for crappy P2P gaming...That's what my Xbox is for...

DICE has another go at it

We feel it's important to support the unique community needs of the PC community. Dedicated servers are a big part of this, and we recognize that requirement. We're putting a server browser and matchmaking in 1943 PC and the same features are intended for BFBC2. We're working hard on the PC version with a dedicated team building and molding the game so it is not a console port. This team is lead by DICE developers responsible for Battlefield 2. Very experienced and hardcore PC gamers.

#Battlefield You're dedicated to your game, why shouldn't your servers be dedicated too? We understand your pain #MW2 PC fans.

@Demize99 What else would people expect from a PC game that's only a port of their console game.

a lot more than that... at $50 per order and right now: 50482 signatures... thats a total right now of:
$2524100.00 just on preorders alone... never mind people who will not buy once they hear and the more people who will add to that one petition

also what about revenue lost from retaillers and game hosting companies... theres a lot at stake here

 

[rpsgc]

Sadly I'm certain a lot of poor misinformed souls will buy this game without knowing its Terrible Secret™ and be unable to return it.

Gee where are all the console fanboys at?

At modernwarfare2forum, the bastard offspring of cod4boards and cod4forums, home of the (dumb variety of) consolites and COD fanboys.

 

[Sir_Real]

So how they planning on running MW2 online now dedicated servers have gone?

Is it case that Infinity ward/Activision will have their own bank of servers running MW2 online games 24/7 ?

Or

Is the games going to be hosted from peoples home pcs thus relying on people with fast internet connections to host games ?

 

[Scrizz]

yes it does ruin the game, I only play MP

Most likely, yes.

 

[twicksisted]

yep... same here... i buy a game... play online and then after a while if im bored (or the net go's down) play the single player... infact i hate playing a game against AI... find it loathsome and boring... much better to play against real people... i mean thats what modern gaming is all about!

 

[Sir_Real]

Most likely, yes.

If i'm not mistaken thats how co-op mode in waw works. Ok but theres one big prob its limited to four players max ! Thats obveusly about the limit for most peoples internet connection speeds.

So true! Thats why i played the PC in the first place because originally, the lan play, then moved on to internet play on dedicated servers. Taking this away from the PC is a step backwards and it will kill the game tbh.

See this is how a company should run its business. They should listen to the community and give them what they want. I love bf2 and these statements by DICE helps reassure me that my faith in them is not wrong.

 

[rpsgc]

Ontopic

The IW forums are up now and they seem to have created a PC subforum.
http://www.infinityward.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=24




Now for a little off-topic venting:

Due to MW2, today I learned a valuable lesson! If some muppets start thread crapping, insulting (everyone) and flaming in your thread (just because they're idiots and call a troll to anyone who disagrees with their retarded opinions), don't even try to argue with them if your post count is less than 100 and their post count is 2000+, it doesn't matter if you're right, the moderators will always side with them and punish you, not the troublemakers.

Jerks always win.
