I can see clearly now MWII is gone!

[werepossum]

MW2 was my most anticipated game, but I'm no longer buying it. The straw that broke the camel's back (the last kick in the teeth?) was the lack of a lean function. Did Infinity Ward suddenly get swept back to 1998? I hung on through lack of mod support, lack of dedicated servers, and every other slap at the PC gaming community, but eventually one has to accept that a developer is more interested in raping its base than in serving it. Now the most anticipated PC game of the year has become another poor quality Russian first-time developer's me-too console port, nothing more than a cheap attempt to pick up a few more dollars. Congrats, Infinity Ward, you've just lost another $60 that's not "balanced for leaning". Long my favorite developer (or at least tied with Monolith), Infinity Ward has now made itself rectum non gratis in my household.

I'm kind of shy of the Battlefield series, especially after BF 2 MC betrayed me on the 360... But it is very appealing seance the CoD price hike...

This is reminding me a lot of the "my TV is better than yours so I demand my version be better" fallout that Bioshock received during their widescreen issue a couple years back. That is, I think you guys are making a huge deal out of something that's not really that huge of a deal. I personally don't play recent games on my PC and will be getting it on the PS3. Feel free to do what you wish to do, but screaming 'BOYCOTT' every time you don't get your way is a little sad, to say the least.
Also, quite honestly, I fully expect that some guys will end up getting the game and unofficially putting in everything you guys want in no time anyway. For all I know some of you might be those guys.

Then again, I may be completely wrong about everything, so I'll wait and see how everything works out.

I'm getting both!
I will probably play MW2 more though

I thought Battlefield: Bad Company was a horrible game. So, no, I'll stick to MW2 and MAG.

 

[HassEsser]

Anyone else kicking MWII to the curb in favor of Bad Company 2?

I now am. Thank you so much for such a great post. BC2 looks a lot better than MWII and BC1. Getting it for PC and PS3.

Neither of those games interest me, but I can recognize a colossal dick move when I see one, or in the case of MW2, 3.

No matter how many whiney posters try to persuade me otherwise, I will buy MW2.

And this is why companies like Activision and EA will continue to rape us up the ass. Thank you HappyTreeFriend for your contribution to gamer butt rape.

Aww, how cute, you think I care

I think that the important question is:


When did we start using Roman numerals to replace the 2

 

[slowpoke999]

I wish buying BF:BC hurt MW2's sales, the former game would sell tons,shit I'd probably buy 10 copies and gift 9 to random people.

MW2 selling good tells other game developers that:They can make shitty excuses to raise the price on their game for no reason, treat x-box users worse cause they're used to it and cut content from PC games so they're more like x-box users,even though players on different consoles can't play with each other anyway.

I can see the future if MW2 sells good(which i can't see),PC gaming dies,console users laugh,then the games market crashes and it has to be rebooted again without the 'mistakes of the past' being allowed to happen again.

 

[StigmataDiaboli]

I have to admit BC2's multiplayer looks looks more intense for team games. Technically in Modern Warfare 2 teamwork usually means having less people to kill than free-for-all.

 

[SomeUnregPunk]

...I haven't been waiting for this game.
I have been waiting for operation flashpoint: dragon rising [http://www.codemasters.com/flashpoint/], borderlands [http://www.borderlandsthegame.com/], MAG [http://www.mag.com/] and BF:BC2 [http://badcompany2.ea.com/]

Two of them has come out and I have only played the easier one of the four.
I saw that MW2 was going the wrong path for me and that made me drop it from the list of FPS games that I want to play. I see no reason to boycott it because I'm just not going to buy it. I don't need to put my name on a list or whine about it. I just need to not buy it. PC gaming will survive this. Stop being overly dramatic.

 

[Danny Ocean]

You mean anyone that wants their money's worth on the PC.

wow you are a IDIOT, they said it would be for 360 and the ps3, jesus, if I wouldn't get suspended I would call you a dumb piece of shit.

Well, this is hilarious. Honestly, you just made my day.

You will. Mark my words, this is only the beginning.

 

[Jekken6]

I'm definitely getting Bad Company 2 ( i'm not sure whether to get the PC or PS3 version) and i'll probably rent MW2 on PS3 to check the singleplayer and get the trophies.

? DLC will be a charged item for PC
- No dedicated servers
-Matchmaking system used to play with similarly ranked players
-VAC instead of PB
-Semi-capable password servers
-Semi-capable ad-hoc servers
- Competitive play is dead
-MW2 mods would not be possible (not directly stated/confirmed)
-Full integration into Steam-I dont like steam that much especial mine got hacked 2 times already
9v9 only

i cried a little...

-No dedicated servers- Just like on consoles, and we've done just fine with them for years.
-Matchmaking system used to play with similarly ranked players- How is this a bad thing, at all? Paying with players of the same skill level as you is a GOOD thing, at least you wont just get raped match after match.
-Competitive play is dead- How is it? CoD4 had one of the biggest competitive 'scenes' on the xbox 360, so no, it really isn't dead.
-MW2 mods would not be possible (not directly stated/confirmed)- Good, I'd rather not spend hours trawling through 'Super mario' maps just to get to a decent level.
-Full integration into Steam-I dont like steam that much especial mine got hacked 2 times already[/b]- Steam is a VERY good distribution service, so I dont see why you're complaining.
- 9v9 only- You'd rather had a 64 player match where you die every 2 seconds?


I really dont see peoples problems with MW2. Its an amazing game, and well worty the price for the single player alone, let alone the multiplayer. People need to stop talking all this shit about a game they haven't even played yet... Dont let it become the new popular thing to hate.
Just to clarify, I've played through the campaign at a friends who 'acquired' the game early.

Wow, I think we have a strong contender for stupidest member of the Escapist. Ever.

*SNIP*

Biggest problem I have with it is the "experimental" price hike. As soon as I found out about that, the game was only going to be purchased used.
