GrimReaper90 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 We can only hope so....I doubt that it will make a difference though...its 10 days to the release...unless they have been working on it and keeping it under wraps it will be impossible for them to do it in 10 days...but who knows time will tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaine Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Latest petition signed. Nice to see gamers across different platforms actually uniting over this issue, instead of the usual fan boy nonsense that was rampant on IW boards.

XPL Ryan Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 As i have stated in many forums, my Money is finally headed back to EA Games for BF BC2, At least they wont screw us over off the bat, they will wait min 6 months before they do this. I love the videos that IW release regarding MW2, one of them shows a connection failure. Hmmm Not what i want for a multi-player game. I QA'ed At Activision a few years a go, i should have seen this one coming from a mile away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixshot Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Heh... always knew that it'd get worse as they add more unlocks. Why can't they just simply hand us X number of unlock points, refundable in case you want to change things, which can be spent on unlocking things in a tree-like manner? I played BF2142 and the tree system is pretty good as it forces you to prioritize what unlock branch you want to work on. Eventually you'll unlock everything but I still would like to see a limit on how much you can unlock overall. Giving you limited number of unlock points forces you to spend 'em wisely on certain weapon classes and perks. For example, one can spend all their unlock points on weapon classes and the like but would not have enough to unlock certain kill/death streak perk. Or one can unlock everything essential to being a sniper but have nothing left over to unlock things like assault rifles, SMGs, or maybe claymores. I think using this system, it guarantees that you won't have everything at your disposal by the time you reach the highest level/rank. And instead, forces everyone to consider how they want their profile to be like. I suck as a sniper in every game I have played. But hand me an assault rifle, semi-auto rifle, or a SMG and I can play okay w/ it. The bolt-action rifle category in World at War is the only set of weapons that I do not have all the marksmanship completed on. And I think the unlock profile should reflect that. Anyway, everything is pretty much moot. IW can't think forward and they think adding more unlocks and streak features will make the game better. Am I the only one who think that DICE's idea of going from 7 classes in BF2 down to 4 in 2142 was a radical and different idea at the time?

RoadWarrior Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 The whole unlock issue....ftw. I personally like to re-start in COD4 and rank up once in a while. It's worth the time, just to re-enjoy the thrill of it all. Go play on a competition mod server, with no unlocks, and you really see the benefits of not having them at all. Ranking is really a console thing, and it's ruining pc-gaming in ways even losing dedicated servers can't. RW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadWarrior Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 BestBuy Live Session with Devs for MW2 Being held this Tuesday, Nov 3/09 You'll have to deal with the time-zone issues on your end to figure out what time it will be in your area. A suggestion, though. If you're going to get involved, be polite, and only post/discuss with some education and relevance. Absolutely no fan-boy/bashing/MW2 sucks comments are going to help our cause. If the dev's are going to do anything positive in response to our cries for dedicated files, they do need to see that we indeed to care, and that there is a mature and sensible reasoning behind it.

VAPOR33 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 This users post on the steam forums sums it up And to top it off IW forums are down atm They expect us to believe IWNet will be a success when they can't even keep their forums online. PRICELESS ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixshot Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Must ... formulate... questions... "Is there any guarantee that if a person hosts a public match or round that they will not be given an unfair advantage (as being the host)?" "If IWNET is intended to be an improvement to the Average Joe Player, how does it improve upon a player's experience where ping and internet connectivity are major issues in other parts of the world?" "Can the IWNET infrastructure offer any guarantee that the general playing experience will not include players who may not live up to other people's higher standards? For instance, a dedicated server for which a clan or group host is able to offer higher standards of playing by removing players who do not abide by server rules. Is there any assurance for which players will not suffer due to unruly and disruptive people?" I don't know if I'll be able to participate in their live-chat. But the above two are what I want to ask them directly. Hopefully, if they cannot answer it or they answer in a round-about way, they'll start realizing that they'll need dedicated servers in order to continue retaining the community for which it has built (or destroyed).
