SuperTaz Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 It seems EA is getting more and more popular by the day because of the MW2 debacle: http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/328969.page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadWarrior Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I can guarantee you with their explanation for the need for dedicated servers for both CONSOLE AND PC that they will get more popular. That's the part IW missed, when they decided to screw PC players, but they've also screwed the console fella's as well, so who really cares? I will say again, I want to game with my clan. I don't want to be paired up with the 13 yr olds down the street who may or may not be of the same skill level. I do not want to have to put up with VAC. I do not want to put up without having a branded server for my clan. I DO WANT to be able to play the games I love with the guys I've gamed with, both new and old to my clan, on a server that WE RUN and CONTROL! I DO WANT to be able to have PB ENABLED on my servers. I DO WANT to be able to have PBBANS STREAMING for said-servers. I DO WANT to have dedi-server files. I WILL NOT SUPPORT NOR BUY MW2 for said above reasons. I doubt they care, and I doubt they'll read this thread, but those are solid reasons, and if need be, my clan will move on to a game that is not IW produced, and will find another niche in the gaming world, and support it. MW2, without the above, will not be supported by my clan. If I can't game with my UK members as well as my US members and Canadian members on the same server due to piss-poor-pairing, I will not be playing the game, nor will my clan.

=GoMg=THE__DRIFTER Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I think this is the most clear and concise statement I have read in quite some time. Us old farts can't keep up with you youngsters these days... Seriously though, it is a great post and pretty much sums up our opinions as a group. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadWarrior Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I am 36, have members in my clan as old as 56, and some younger than I, as well, but average age is around 30+ regardless. We're not putting up with this, various members on twitter and so on. I refuse to get on twitter just to tweet to a spokesperson, I'll put it public on my own forums, and add the key-words so it gets hit with google. Google-bot hits my site lots, so does yahoo-bot, etc, I can include the key-words to trigger more hits. More my strategy, really. Boycot this game, and use your personal gaming sites to do so, and put the tools you have to work for you. Get IW to think twice, and support a different game, and let this one suck hind-tit. I won't be a part of this thread much further. RW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Man Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Our clan has pretty much decided as of yesterday to move to battle field bad company 2. No bullshitting around with IW... Its too bad because they did have a good thing going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaythegreat1 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Never really liked the Camp of Duty Series. We were almost considering getting a MW2 server, just to have another game besides bf2. Then the news broke... so, All aboard the BFBC2 train! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaydaX Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 The following is a list of Call of Duty games on Steam, and whether itis possible to register retail CD Keys for the specific game's to Steam: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Retail CD Keys for this game can and must be added to Steam in order to play the game. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/show...ad.php?t=995300 As users have posted on the steam forums this will mean users can not sell MW2 used since it's tied to your steam account.

MaydaX Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 This users post on the steam forums sums it up Of course it will upset people. They are charging us more, just because they can. Steam puts this ridiculous price of $90 for no good reason. Then there's no demo, there's no beta, they remove features with a tested (and failed) MP model and hope that you are stupid or just don't have anything else to play so you purchase it regardless. And if you don't like it - you're at a 100% loss. Console gamers can at least rent it or sell it. Hell, they can even >. It's only logical that you see people upset with this. You, as a customer, are left with no choice but to either buy it or gtfo. And to top it off IW forums are down atm mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Too many connections They expect us to believe IWNet will be a success when they can't even keep their forums online.

McBain{TibeT} Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I really pity the people who'll still go ahead and buy the game in the hope of having a half decent multiplayer experience. Can you imagine the stink in the community if "IW.Net" falls over or gets hit by a DDOS attack in the first few days... IW would never live it down. The fact that they can't even keep their forums up atm should be putting more people off tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceAcer Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I put a video up on youtube to try and help you COD players out a bit , it seems to me youtube is sticking all the videos about this matter on the back burner and not listing them proberly !

I have COD4 and i had a server or 2 but i let go i dont care for COD online play the maps are to small for the amount of fire power one has and all that get bombed from the sky crap relly turned me off big time !

SuperTaz Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Keep the cancellations coming. Each cancellation puts a dent in IW's pockets and if they see their sales make a serious decline, they will think twice next time to not put out dedicated servers nor integrate PB into their games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*WfF* FoRcE Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) Well it seems im going to have to keep my SOF2 server as long as PB supports it. I wanted to get a COD4 WAW server---but im not sure how these issues are going to work out for COD in general. My luck is getting a new server then PB drops the game, Im sure SOF2 is soon to follow and I will have to learn how to play NINTENDO... LAME!!!!!!! *IF PB DROPS MY SUPPORT---I DROP THE SERVERS---PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!* THIS IS NOT BASHING PB--IF THEY WILL NOT DO BUSINESS WITH YOU (PB) KEEPING THE GAME CLEAN THEN I WILL NOT BUY THE NEW GAMES OR RENT OR HOST ANY OF THERE HACKER INFESTED SERVERS NOT PUNK BUSTERED AND NOT DEDICATED. SORRY--JUST HAD TO VENT--IM PISSED OFF!!! Edited October 29, 2009 by *WfF* FoRcE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTaz Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Get a BFBC2, BF1943 server or Wolfenstein PC server. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadWarrior Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 If the game does not have PB support, it will not be played by me! I am with you, SuperTaz and others, who support the cause. We unite under one name, namely PC-Gamers! Speak with your wallet on this one. MW2 should not be purchased by anyone who is a serious gamer.

5ickness Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 This sucks, no dedis = no game! which is a shame, our clan were looking to get a server etc.. But IWnet.. if they can't keep their forum up, what makes them think that they can keep IWnet up? IW have got a bad dose of Consolitis, I hope they choke on it. ..and VAC.. don't get me started.. I love my streaming server - it's the way it's meant to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTHRAX70 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 We Russian gamers Call of Duty 4, World at War. We are against no dedicated!!! Only the PB and only dedicated! We ignore MW2.

xX_Renegade_Xx Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Speak with your wallet on this one. MW2 should not be purchased by anyone who is a serious gamer. +1 I was going to pre-order it until this announcement came through. It makes more sense to include dedicated servers and mod tools, obviously FourZeroTwo is a console fanboy so can't see the importance of these. I've been watching the forums for Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising too and seems a lot of players can't even play because of this listen server system, some are not even able to get online, maybe MW2 will be the same, irrespective of what IW tells us now.

RoadWarrior Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 If players can't get online, you will see one very expensive paper-weight sitting on a lot of computer desks. This idea of pairing/steam/vac is just horrible to think about. Thus far any pc-games that attempt to use this system are failing horribly.
