I can see clearly now MWII is gone!

[tsolless]

The ironic thing is about MW2 and the move to remove dedicated servers to fight piracy and mods is that there is a pirated version of the game with patched in (by the pirates) dedicated server support.

Which means that people will download the pirated version in order to get dedicated server support, something only available on the pirated versions of the game. These people wouldn't have pirated the game if the retail version had dedicated server support

Developers need to realize that any customer is a potential pirate and any pirate is a potential customer. They need to try to reward customers and not to disadvantage pirates as it just results in stuff like this.

I'm buying BC2 on release day, and MAYBE I'll pick up MW2 sometime later. I never buy hype games on release day unless with the exception of Uncharted 2.

 

[Christemo]

it looks awesome . after the huge amount of cockslapping that IW has given their fanbase, this seems like the best shooter of 2010 that i know of.

my only problem about it is that i need a very very manly PC to render it.

 

[Christemo]

PLay them Both and then decide.
But from what i've seen (and heard) MW2 will not live up to the hype.
But what ever does?

games that lived up to the hype in recent years:
Uncharted 2.
SSBB.
Mario Kart Wii.
Street Fighter 4.

and a fuckton of others, so your presumption isnt very accurate.

I just wait for the price to go down, buy it secondhand. I do it for every game, that way I usually do get my money's worth.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

I love Bad Company, so of course I'm getting this game. It will probably be my Game of The Year 2010.

Also, I love that guy's Swedish accent. Mostly cause I'm Swedish myself.

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

The consoles are still being ripped off their money, it's just harder for you guys to notice anymore.

So we're stupid now? Please, just say it.

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

I agree. The XBox version will still be awesome

I'll address this to all three of you: one very good reason to not get the 360 version is that, for no adequate reason, they're making it so you can't be in a Party in all but 3 gametypes.

, if I wouldn't get suspended I would call you a dumb piece of shit.

You do know that's almost entirely no different, right?
Learn some manners.

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.

Way to completely misunderstand him. He's saying that the PC version is the only one not worth it (which I disagree with). Try to get your facts straight before condescending like that.

Yes, I read every post. And yes, you are a braindead fuckskulls for buying MW2. I for one never had any plans whatsoever to buy MW2 even before the upcoming price hyke to $90 USD. I doubt I'll get BF: BC2 either but only because a crippling lack of interest in the entire FPS genre.

Thank you for your most unnecessary post.

Be a little nicer on the forums, so no flame.

Out of curiosity, whats all this talk of a price hike? Everywhere I've looked its been $59.99. Is this price hike coming after the release of something. On a side note, if you have a "crippling lack of interest" in FPS's, why do you need to come here and start flaming those of us who do?

I myself intend to get MW2 over Bad Company 2. I'm never consider whether multiplayer is good as I'm a single player guy. Plus I was never all that enamored with Bad Company 1 anyway...

 

[Pegghead]

Just because they screwed up with the pc servers does not mean that right now we should start treating modern warfare 2 like it's some kind of hell spawn of Satan. Seriously, this past week I've seen nothing but hate threads for this game, all because they made a few silly decisions concerning their servers, and that's just it. For months beforehand you guys couldn't wait for this game, now you've all turned into gigantic whiners and frankly I'm sick of hearing people ***** about this game.

I enjoyed Battlefield: Bad Company for the ride. I found it quite fun with some of the most realistic sound that I've ever heard. First, the guns sounded like they should. Second, there was dynamic echoing. The witty banter between your two comrades was some of the best I've seen in a warfare shooter as well. The one thing that pissed me off with this game is the lack of attention to environment. Yeah, the outside looked great, but the indoor environments, such as

Spoiler

when you go into the president's mansion near the end of the game and all you can find in there are a couple of chairs and boxes lying about,

scream laziness. The multiplayer wasn't as great as Modern Warfare's and I had no reason to play it again, so it was returned. Hopefully Bad Company 2 will expand their indoor environments as well as the scope of the world.

I feel like I'm back in high school. Was enamored over a girl that wasn't that big a deal, but I had such a crush on her I couldn't look at any other. Then she became a complete *****, I saw her for what she was, and with that I discovered a much prettier and smarter girl who had been looking at me all along.

Thats gotta be the greatest metaphor ever.

 

[Katana314]

Battlefield 2 was an utter failure to me, but I don't hold firm grudges. I'll check out a demo and see if their promises hold up.

 

[TMAN10112]

Holy crap, that looks amazing.

I just joined the MW2 boycott yuesterday (confirmed 9v9 was the last straw), and now I find out there's an upcoming game that looks even better.

Infinity Ward is dead to me, but now I've found DICE.

Edit:

Spoiler: Here's an awesome trailer I found

 

[oppp7]

I'm an old fan of BC. I loved the fact that you could destroy everything. It NEVER got old to set C4 on a wall when you knew an enemy was on the other side.
Plus when those bastard trees got in the way of my vehicles they paid for it in blood.
It looks like you can destroy even more in this version. Overall, single player wasn't great (too easy) but its unusual storyline ranks among my favorites. The multiplayer was great though. My friends say you die too easy in it, but I never noticed too much.
So, ya, if MW2 seems irritating to you, just get BC2. I won't get either until they go down in price, but it'll be BC2 when I do get one.

I didn't like Bad Company that much anyways. Also, since they are adding the fuckwits back into the sequel, I refuse to get it, simply because I hated listening to that fucking hick. Can't wait to get Modern Warfare 2, though. And, as someone said on the first page, no matter what any internet boycott says, MW2 will still get a huge number of sales. Again, I don't see what is so bad about them taking away the dedicated servers. I'd rather TF2 only have official servers.

Just because they screwed up with the pc servers does not mean that right now we should start treating modern warfare 2 like it's some kind of hell spawn of Satan. Seriously, this past week I've seen nothing but hate threads for this game, all because they made a few silly decisions concerning their servers, and that's just it.

For you two.
It wasn't just a few silly decisions with servers so besides the whole server catastrophe they removed the lean function,
function to record in game,
if a hacker gets through VAC there is nothing you can do,
also there is a delay when the host leaves.

What is with all the Modern Warfare 2 hate? It could be another WWII shooter...Reality sucks?

Bascially everything above justifies the hate and I would rather a WWII than MW2 at this point.
