So, can we find these servers in-game or do we need to hack too?

THEY TOOK OUT LEANING TOO!? WHY ARE THEY SO DESPERATE TO BRING THE PC VERSION DOWN TO THE CONSOLE'S LEVEL!?
Mind explaining to the playstation user here what leaning is?

Literally just that. It was the ability to lean the character, perhaps from behind a wall, so that you could shoot around cover and corners and such.

If I came off as rude, it was not my intent.

Its progress but it isnt Activison making effort, it was some guys, Activision there too busy servicing the console market to care about the original market.

Everyone who boycotts the game by pirating it is a hypocrite. Plain and simple. Funny as one of the reasons why IW did what they did was to work against piracy. And here you are giving them a very damn good reason why they removed Dedicated servers.

Once again PC hypocrites (you know who you are)

NICE JOB ;)

And yet, this influx of pirating and haxzoring only serves to prove how ineffectual IW's "new system" is.

OH the ability to peek around corners,ok. See, me and my friends don't call it that so I got confused.

If you were boycotting it for the lack of servers. Then don't buy a copy.

IW/Activision haven't put in the effort to give people what they want, instead someone's had to hack the game just to get the command console and servers.
I agree, DO NOT BUY THIS TILL IW FIXES THIS THEMSELVES, its pointless to buy the game till the Servers are official because IW will just count you among the people who liked the "new" matchmaking system.

I gotta say if IW didn't see this coming then they are blinded by all the money they got from the console version

ugh. please don't they screwed you over in the first place. Wait until it get's cheep and then go buy it. IW did not make the effort of giving you Dedicated servers and if a hacker does it instead of them it's just plain bullshit.

It's exactly what it sounds like leaning. In some PC games you have buttons dedicated to leaning left or right. A nice approximation on consoles would be what is done in Killzone 2.

Edit: Bah someone beat me to it.

Flawed system or not pirating the game just gives IW the excuse they need to say "This is why we removed dedicated servers so people would stop playing pirated copies on them".

If anyone had a problem with MW2 they simply should not buy it. But Pirating it just makes you a hypocrite with absolutely zero credibility in anything you say.

Totally irrelevant because if none one bought the game all they will say is "PC is not a viable platform." If they are going to make excuses, they will make them regardless of what the players do or do not do. They were making excuses even before the game launched.

saw some figures today about the sales that went something along the lines of

54% of sales came from ps3
43% of sales came from xbox360
while the other 3% was pc and if you see all the hate thats been dredged up in the internet combined with the amount of people who signed the petition you must at least think that quite alot of people didnt buy the game for pc and also that boycott thing shown earlier
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/BOYCOTTMW2/members?p=2
thats a slightly more accurate estimate mate and look at the amount of pages there is in total theres almost double which means 2x the amount of players have signed up to it.

on the piracy issue surely the idea of a boycott is meant to deprive the developers of their money hell if you look at piracy when it was first invented on the seas it involved taking goods. also i'll give you another example at that if martin luther king who is the father of all boycotts said we are not going to use buses people dont use buses so they find another way around to get to the destination they want like through walking or cycling. they dont just sit at home saying since we are not allowed to use buses we arnt going anywhere which is effectively what youre saying we should do. because since we are unhappy with the service that iw has given (buses to relate back) we are boycotting the product so we find another way round (again relating back to the original boycott on buses and this is walking or cycling in that example) and this is piracy otherwise we are just sitting at home doing nothing.

Make any excuse you want. Your attempt at rationalizing of pirating the game makes your opinion worthless. Also by clicking on your link its funny how many of those in the "Boycott" are playing Modern Warfare 2.

Keep it coming hypocrites your just digging yourselves into a deeper hole.

It still gives them zero credibility for their "new system" when it fails like this, was my point.

Good thing I'm not a pirate, I just support the learning of lessons.

Lesson one: The customer is always right, IW, ALWAYS.
That's why you've got a lot of pirates right now, do you understand, IW?

I just hope one of those lessons is "Two wrongs dont make a right"

And no the customer isnt always right. Just most of the time. Business's just want you to think your always right while subtly changing things. Years of working retail has taught me this.

I think you'll find that just saying someones opinion is worthless rather than engaging them in a debate to either prove or disprove it makes you look a lot more silly than it does them.

Disclaimer: I have not, nor do I intend to, bought (or pirated) Mewtwo. It probably wont run on my computer anyway. I am here for the principal. (also for teh lolz)
