Modern Warfare 2 shock: No servers or mods for PC version!

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

I'm sorry Consoles are not the future. Unless you take the fact that they are becoming more and more like PC's then they are (Hardware Wise, Maybe even Software Wise one day).

I wonder if IW did a deal with some ISP providers. Think about it, this forces people to get better ISP to host.

I wish I could pretend to agree with you but all signs point to an industry shift to prioritize development efforts on consoles. They blame it on piracy and things like that but it's also simply easier to standardize their optimization for reconfigured systems. Plus they sell console games for more. This isnt new and has been slowly moving in this direction for over 2 years. Just look at all the the PC versions of console games that get release dates pushed back to help boost early consoles sales. (Assassins Creed 2...)

I implore you to see reason...

Mostly I hate consoles because I could never learn to appreciate a 12yo child telling me he ****ed my mom.

Please sign the petition..... I have and its the best petition I have ever signed.

Almost 71,000 now.

Thats already on the first post. If all games go like this, it will just force me to start doing piracy on the console and kick my pc for gaming.

Haha, nice one Activision screwing up things, first 10USD overpricing, still fine, but added these two? I think i will choose L4D2 then

No way i'm playing over here in Brazil with 200 Ping, It's quite impossible to kill when bullets don't go were im pointing.
Playing on live always sucked since there arent many people over here, latency sucks, so i tried playing with u folks and couldn't, that's why i buy MP games for the PC, now not the MW2, maybe rent or borrow for the SP experience.

Not gonna flame you but some people like me are decent at the game and goto tournaments and play for hardware and money. I really enjoyed doing this with COD4 more then CS or CSS. Alot of people had very high hopes for this game as far as league play and now that is just out the window thats why i wont be buying it and i will continue playing COD4 and other games.

I understand that, and in my youth I did the same, hell I still do once or twice a year.

I don't get how you believe that this has to change simply because there are no more dedicated servers. It becomes slightly more difficult on the admin side of things, but doesn't make it impossible. Hell, that last LAN party I went to had a COD4 tournament, but didn't use dedicated servers, instead they used machines connected to the projectors as spectators. Dedicated servers are not required for competitive play.

Really though, they aim this game at Xbox 360 users. I don't know the figures, but I'm sure that 75 or ever 80% of the people who avidly play MW1 play it on the Xbox or PS3. Inifinity Ward seems to just be joining the group of game makers who don't give a rats ass about PC gaming.

LOL He just got absolutely 'owned'! I like how he slipped in the fact that he plays in comps for money........ great lol. i have many words for people that do that (change to off topic just to sound cool), but just like he said im not hear to flame people either. Heads up tho, im not as cool as this cat, i have never been to a lan tornament for cash, maybe i was just out actually getting laid instead of getting fragged like you.

 

[troyrae360]

Can someone please explane why having dedacated servers is so important? From what I gather you can still setup your own game ect...

So that you can play with X persons across the pond with ping lower than 100.

Just took a brain scan and it told me that i played the first MW and i got interested in playing the story, so the doctor told me the most obvious thing to do was buy MW2 no matter if the MP sucks ass.(because i don't like CODs online)

Im not complaing about the game, im pointed out little nuisances that i have encountered from them.

Well i'm definately not getting this now. Very few ISPs in the UK have good upload speeds so the latency is going to be horrible when playing online with other UK peeps (i get 40KB/s upstream maximum when uploading, and that's the fastest i can get on any ISP). Combined with the rediculous price bump it's made this game very undesirable for me, even though i loved CoD4.

Oh well, at least there will be more people playing L4D2 now
