[COD MW2] No dedicated servers or PB


HSMagnet

Recommended Posts

They can afford to ignore it because they will sell millions of copies of the game for consoles.

 

~2,000,000 console titles * 60.00 = 120,000,000 -- they'll probably sell more than 2 million console copies though.

 

~150,000 pc titles * 60.00 = 9,000,000 -- just a rough estimate of the number of PC copies -- might be more might be less... but we get the picture.

 

We're a very small piece of the pie. Part of that small piece of the pie are the PC user's who don't really have a clue about dedicated servers and leagues and competition, so they'll get many PC sales that way which will only make our small piece of pie even smaller.

 

That said, /signed -- although I fear it won't make any difference, unfortunately.

I actually had someone say "What's the problem with not having dedicated server?" today. I would have slapped them round the eat if they did that in person

And this is what I get for quoting Mr. Bowling in his interview with Shacknews when he said PC gaming wouldn't be changed:

Am I the only one who sees a conspiracy theory behind all this?

 

It's plain obvious they just want to get rid of the pc side of their games altogether and get everyone to move onto consoles, where the piracy is less and they can charge us for every download, just because they are money grabbing bastards.

 

tbh with you, it would have saved their rep had they told us it would not come out for pc, rather than doing this half assed effort to give us a game.

kudos to that, i find this whole 'outbreak' repulsive, my email has been going crazy because of the server admin community releasing their feelings.. what are they thinking? i know that the sales for the PC version are going to be nothing compared to the consoles. the console "community" isnt going to care about this, in fact they are probally stoked to hear about this new IW.NET feature that will most likely improve the god-forsaken excuse for server browsing.

 

when i join a server i dont want to be paired with 'likely candidates' i want to play with my clan and more importantly my friends. the whole purpose of having PC games is to be able to mod them, create custom maps, and HOST OUR OWN SERVERS.

 

and VAC over PB? wtf are you kidding me? this is all a battle over lets do whats cheapest and cut corners with a garbage anti-cheat so we wan turn a greater profit in the end.

 

 

i knew something like this was going to happen, with the success of COD4 and the anticipation that MW2 brought out, i knew that IW was going to pull some horrible ploy out of their sleeves, i just dont think anybody expected something of this magnitude.

 

watch, IMO nobody is going to buy the PC version, of course console sales will be through the roof, but will the lack of support from the PC community there will be some new patch with dedi files and full PC support as expected. the reason they waited this long to tell the community of this dull release for PC is because if they said this from the beginning NOBODY would have been active on their twitter with suggestions, their forums, making polls, etc. maybe they forgot that the PC community is the MAIN source of their media output, we are the ones on the computers to respond to their press releases, not the people on console. <_>

 

 

phew, that feels good getting that off my chest

We've all probably heard by now, the disappointing news that Modern Warfare 2 is going to suck, HARD.

 

With no dedicated servers, and no mods, Infinity Ward have certainly screwed this game up beyond repair. They've removed all petitions from their site, and have banned several hundred members from their site because of their anger issues :S

 

All I can say is, dont remain silent and show your support. We've all waited ages for the game, and a month from release they tell us it's going to be sh*t? Hows about release a BETA and show us...People have pre-ordered their servers, pre-ordered their games which they may now not want, in future, maybe let us know before we waste our time and money?

 

If you want to help us out and show your support, then please do the following.

You know what I want to ask you, but I won't here.

I have signed the petition but I will not be joining the x-fire group under that banner, no offence but it just makes us all look like porn-loving, swearing idiots, could you not have found something more subtle but with the same kind of impact?

 

That image originated from a foul-mouthed spammer on the IW forums and that spammer had a lot of threads deleted, some of those threads highlighting good points from the PC gamers and asking very good questions to IW.

Thanks xX_Renegade_Xx for pointing that out... give me a break on the 'graphic touch'.

 

 

You might try this one instead:

Not knowing much about console gaming, do console gamers benefit from us PC gamers? I can imagine we offer great video footage, but do they enjoy the modding and mapping we do, or are they excluded from it? Do they participate in clans, or is there no reason for them to be in a clan? just wondering.
