And to think not only a year ago we all were praising about how much we loved  IW for COD4 when Treyarch came out with COD:WAW. now WAW kicks butt and IW does crapp like this. im so looking forward to Treyarch's new release next year. they really have the opportunity to be the COD series on top and put IW behind us!

I wouldn't get your hopes up on Treyarch's new release next year, it was Activision who told IW not to support dedicated servers. Unless Activision see's the mistake they made i bet Treyarch version will have the same IWNet system.

Oh i thought it was IW that made that desicion to f**k us all.

That is a dedicated server. the game has been cracked by a very crafty programer,

IW

Almost make me think about getting the game 

I is very tempting but I think I'm going to keep fighting until Iw does something or bc2 comes out. there is a post release petition, it probably wont do any good but I figure hell why not, and once again I only signed once.

Right click on the video and click watch on youtube.

snide??    surely that's an innocent enquiry   rofl    omg I hope he replies. 

I think I am closing in on 30 hours of playtime on the mp, yes I would have preferred dedicated servers but it is still one of the most enjoyable games I own. But the $10 price increase was not justified.

someone discovered through the hacked console that there are new gameplay modes in the multiplayer, that infinityward plans to sell as DLC..paying to just unlock something already in the game is a pretty scumbag move
+1 to the list of fail

errrr.. don't say that! you're teasing me to buy the game!
i gotta stay strong..

EDIT: alright, just came from an online game . yes, the first multiplayer cr@ck is out.
they are saying this is just the beginning. dedi servers will come at the end of the week and with the unlocked features that iw will have as dlc.

There are few developers that can put together games of this quality. For every great game that comes along there are 20 worthless games. Sure, MW2's "full potential" was lost and some expectations were not meet, but its a great game by today's standards.

The point is they have talent and there is no reason to try and boycott or punish them. Why hurt the guys who produce the "1 in 20" powerhouse titles? Its childish and hurts the gaming community.

 


MW2 is a powerhouse title? By who's standards?

Seriously? The worlds standards.


Modern Warfare 2's launch was the biggest in game history with an estimated 4.7 million sold on the first day in North America and UK.

Well, for one I'm not boycotting really.  I just don't want to pay this much for a console game on my PC and a lame 9v9 player count. I would think that's the best message to send Activision. As far as the game standards go, I love how there is never any distinction of the game between the platforms. Of course it's going to be a huge success because the console players have nothing to complain about. Even the interview with IW bragged how the developers were gamers and how much fun they had playing it, but never gave a distinction of the console/PC and what kind of gamers they were. Just like the game, consoles and PC are treated the same. Worlds standard for consoles-yes, but that's below my standard. Console gaming sucks IMO.

To be honest the PC version seems like a big fail to me. No, i don't own MW2. There will be a cold day in hell before i give my hard earned money to the greedy and ignorant folks over at IW. They've showed us that they don't give a rats a** about the PC community. I'm not gonna lick any boot that just kicked me in the face. I truly hope IWnet collapses.

People won't subscribe like they think, i don't see a system like that working in the western market on the PC. You will see a crap load of private servers if they did try that on the PC. I don't know how they could pull it off on the console when any file over 8MB is considered DLC.

Next few years we will see BattleField 3 , Counter-Strike 2 and other FPS games so i wish them luck getting PC gamers to pay a monthly fee to play Call of Duty online. They going to offer people a WoW pet if they subscribe to Call of Duty online lol.

Ok, so your definition of "powerhouse" is that it had big sales.

Your a big boy and I don't need to create a detailed post listing everything they did right. Once you get past the failed expectations I'm sure you'll see why MW2 sold so many copies. Its a solid game.

I guess them gutting the PC version and charging everyone more for it is justified then.

The gaming industry grew to the point where the workers don't always run the show. A billion dollar industry has a tendency to draw-in execs/owners/publishers who's only concern is profits (go figure). These guys care more about their new Mercedes than dedicated servers, and they run the show and they want games published asap. MW2 wasn't the first or last game to suffer because of it.

Think about this next part.

Would the actual MW2 designers (the gamers at heart) want dedicated servers for their creation? Why do you think they didn't get it? Who really made the decision? Who was most likely to suffer from a boycott or lost sales?

@MSim  I really hope your right, but how many of us would have believed that IW would cut out dedi servers before the announcement.  DLC will no doubt be added to MW2 for the consoles, it most likely will be for pc users too, at a price, just like expansion packs for WOW.  The next logical business step would be to bleed gamers dry with subscriptions.  The constant massive income from WOW and the like must have game producers panting.  I think they will try, whether they succeed is a different question.  Hopefully not.

On a different note, not only gamers have noticed the coming of MW2.  Clicky.  Enjoy the read and yes it is from a serious broadsheet.
