IW ruin MW2 online gameplay before it even releases. Updated.

[Bat Vader]

My argument is that the mp looks simply amazing. Who cares about the details when ITS FUN?

This is a console gamer. It is full of failure to understand how the modding, dedicated server and competitive gaming communities function and how this affects them.

This is a PC Elitist. Comparable to a Console Fanboy in terms of judging before thinking insulting anyone who thinks rationally.

PC Elitists and Console Fanboys are both full of fails. They spurn the other side of gaming without ever giving it a chance.

The irony here is that I play on consoles as well. I was mostly referring to Apocalypse Tank's moronic post, and how it showed that many (The one's I've spoken to and seen on forums) console gamers don't get why the PC community are pissed off. Basically "If it's not important to me, it's not important to anyone" attitude of the guy is what bothers me.

I see. You should pry say you play consoles as well so you don't get people like me with what I said.

I have nothing against anyone. I just get annoyed by people who spurn others for owning a different console or PC,

I just find all the fighting between the console and PC community silly. We are all gamers. We shouldn't let one game create a rift between us.

Doesn't ruin the multiplayer for me. GO XBOX!

It doesn't ruin it for you because you've had it ruined all along and actually like to get screwed over by this point. Yeah, go xbox indeed...

care to explain why I've had it ruined all along?

Gladly.

The thing PC users are complaining about (Dedicated server support) is something XBOX users never had in the first place. You were screwed over to begin with under the excuse of simplicity, while there was no technical reason not to allow XBOX users with basic computer skills to set up their own dedicated servers to which other players could connect. This announcement doesn't affect you because the screwover involved happened to you the moment you bought the XBOX. Istead of saying "This doesn't affect me!" you should be asking "Why aren't they adding better and more advanced features to my platform instead of taking them away from another platform?"

And that's before we touch on the subjects such as XBOX users having to pay for DLC that's free on the PC, having to pay for basic access to multiplayer and other such lovely "features". However, you've been screwed over all along so you consider that a norm and are happy about it instead of demanding better service. That's the worst part of this whole incident...

First part of your statement is take it or leave it for me.
Second part, you should have to pay for DLC. Someone has to make it, so someone should get paid for it.

Exactly my point. You don't know any better so you're happy with it. But that doesn't mean XBox is better off, it just means it sucked the same to begin with

P2P is gonna be so horrible.

I really would just like to see how the design team came up for this.

Dude 1-"Hey guys how do we destroy one of the most succesful franchises in PC Gaming history"

Dude 2-"Well we could replace a key compononent that not just builds community but is also reliable and allows players from all over the world to enjoy a smooth game."

Dude 3-"How about add P2P?"

Dude 1-"Brilliant, give this man a promotion!"



Imagine 32 player servers.....

Indeed. I find console gaming quiet enjoyable for platforming and driving games. I could get a controller to play Prince of Persia on my PC, but I'd rather slouch into my couch and play it. That reminds me....I've gotta go look for a good place to buy a PS3. And before anyone else has anything to say against that, Xbox "exclusive" titles come out on the PC, so I can play them here.

 

[The Austin]

GO XBOX!

 

[TelHybrid]

Man... this whole community is really making me not want to get this game at all now for any platform. PC users getting in the waaaambulance, console users all "haha now your version isn't better than ours anymore"...

 

[WaffleGod]

Man, IW and Activision are really putting up their middle finger and saying "Fuck you! We can do whatever we want because we know we can!" to all their fans and gamer worldwide, aren't they? First the insane price increase, then they decide to dump half the features PC gaming stands for. What's next? Make you pay for certain perks? (holy shit, I'm giving them idea's!)

 

[Cryo84R]

Man. Shit. Wow. You guys aren't even TRYING to not look like elitist assholes.

 

[xscoot]

There are many reasons Activision did this; it's actually a pretty genius move.

Firstly, there's the DLC. Now, that isn't much; you can sell DLC even with dedicated servers.

But then, there's the fact you can't mod the game. They want this to happen. You see, when you mod any game, you get extra enjoyment from it, without paying the devs a cent. They want you to buy new games after a while, not stick with the same 3 or 4. So, they simply got rid of mods. You'll get tired of it sooner, and leave, only to buy the next sequel. They don't care how much you enjoy it; you already paid for it.

Now, if it was a subscription, this wouldn't have happened. If each person had to pay 10 dollars a year to keep playing, you'd have dedicated servers and mods; the longer you play, the more money they make. But, the opposite is true right now. The more fun you have with one game, the less games you buy from them.

We all know they did it for cash... We also know it's a dickmove, and everyone with a brain should be giving them the financial finger and not supporting this downright extortion from them.

Companies keep forgetting, they work for US, not the other way around.

Hey everybody, it looks like they're taking content away from the console gamers too.

Maybe they'll listen once they have pissed everyone off.

 

[MetallicaRulez0]

I like people saying this "ruins competitive play for the PC" when 360 and PS3 players have been playing competitively on this same system for years now. Custom Games. Use them.

 

[McGee]

Guys, guys, guys!!! Guess what? The max number of players on IWNet is 9v9, and they took away lean! Wooooo! I remember when people found out about them taking away dedicated servers, they joked about IW taking away lean also because we thought that would be so ridiculous. Oh we were so naive.....

 

[shadow skill]

Great move on the leaning bit IW.

Well, that is only taken away from the 360 players,

It seems the PS3 gamers have had nothing taken away

For now, that is.

Yes. But there is only a week left. Nothing can be done.

Oh god, I said it. Next thing tomorrow, they will announce that it will not be coming on the PS3. I have ruined it for us all.

I will now go ritually dis-embowl myself now

Sir, you have just unleashed Murhpy's Law.

May god have mercy on us all.

Yes, I have.

We all must have a mass prayer for the sake of this game.

I'm not really excited about the game (Atleast not with all of the shenanigans IW/Activision has been pulling), I just like using gross exaggerations for humors' sake.
