PC Gamers, Boycott MW2

[Baggie]

Boycott seems a bit silly, I'm just not buying the game. They have shown me that they don't want my money, I won't argue.

 

[Tdc2182]

No. You think this will be EFFECTIVE?

Oh, IW will be so angry that about 10 random people on the internet have had a 'nerd raeg' and refuse to buy their game?

Ooooh, that'll kill their company!

Just STFU. Noone likes boycotts, they don't work, they annoy people and the people who do them don't understand that what they're doing is wonderfully innefectual.

Ummm, hate to burst your bubble (not really, I'm actually enjoying this), but a lot more than 10 people have boycotted/ canceled their pre-orders over this. It's actually more like a hundred thousand.(http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?dedis4mw) So no, you STFU. Or at least have enough decency to back up your statements with facts. And for the record I'm not totally against the matchmaking system, but i think it'd be better if it was paired with a server browser.

You presume that I give a shit. You presume wrong. I was referring to THIS THREAD. Not the entirety of the fucking WORLD. Oh, so you expect me to rifle through piles of statistics simply to point out how many whiny fucktards have cancelled their order? If a game's singleplayer isn't good enough to stand on its own two legs, what's the point? I wouldn't buy a game if it was solely intended for multiplayer. They, apparently, don't think the Singleplayer is WORTH their money, so it's best that they DON'T buy it, as they are undeserving.

I am with this guy. The boycott won't work,and seeing how it's going to be the best selling game, I don't think it matters to them. I don't think they even are going to comprehend that people are bitching about such a small thing in a multiplayer that has most likely already won multiplayer of the year.

This will never work.

And I really don't care that much. I just want to shoot people and enjoy the new story they have to offer.

I didn't see a SINGLE aspect of Modern Warfare 1 that would keep my interest beyond console life.

1. Mods
2. Custom Servers
3. Familiar players in servers
None of that appeals to you?

Things taken OUT:
-Player-bought dedicated servers
-Punkbuster
-Mods

Things put IN:
-VAC
-Matchmaking & Smoother Gameplay: [http://www.fourzerotwo.com/?p=745] With IWNET matchmaking, it takes all that into account for you. All you have to do is select the playlist (pre-set gametypes with custom rules) that fits the style of play you are in the mood for. When you do, it will automatically find you a game with the best performance, ping, and preferences based on your location and individual connection as well as matching you with players of your same SKILL.
-Playlists and Private Matches: [Same Website] If you just want to jump into a public game of Search and Destroy or Hardcore Search and Destroy and you don?t care about fully customizing it, then you can utilize playlists to do that quickly for you. However, say you?re in a clan and you want to play a Clan match with another team, or you want to practice for an upcoming tournament that has specific rules in a private game. Then you can start a Private Match (which is essentially like running your own private server) where you have complete control over the rules, who can join, boot players you don't want, and essentially control the entire game or tweak it to your liking. Once the rules are set, you can invite the other team in or just start it up with your clan to practice with the custom rules before the match. This now allows you to play custom games out of the box without the need to install mods, find a modded server with the rules you like, or worry about not being in control of the match.
-Party System and Friendslist: [Website is same] You can utilize the friendslist to see when your friends are online, and invite them to your Party. A Party allows you to move from game to game as a group. It?s great for clan matches, because you can party of with your clan and move from public game to public game together.


I honestly don't see why there is a boycott. The system sounds like it's fucking superior to the fucking list we have now.

 

[internetzealot1]

L4D2, MW2... I wonder what sequels we'll boycott next?

 

[WJeff]

I wasn't going to buy this anyway. I have just enough modern warfare shooty fun with Counter Strike. And thanks to the dedicated servers and mods, I doubt I'll ever get bored with it.

 

[Bigeyez]

Taking it away from PC gamers? Last time I check IF owns Call of Duty and "owes" gamers jack squat. It's amazing the sense of entitlement people on the internet have about videogames.

Get over it, seriously.

I hate having to sift through server lists when I just wanna put bullets into people in MW1. Call me a simpleton but I think the idea of letting an IW server give me an optimum match is pretty damn appealing.

Don't say we. Not to be judgmental but I highly doubt your a long time PC gamer who understands the differences brought upon with this announcement.

I am a long term PC gamer. I'm just saying, so far the advantages outweigh the losses.

Hey, did you know that air strikes, knife throwing, as well as the new gunship and predator missile perks were all mods from the PC version of CoD?

Did you know the first CoD was released on PC exclusively, and the next game was fueled by the funds acquired from all the PC gamers who purchased it?

IW may not owe every single one of us, but they owe it to the PC community to support us.

And you're getting it with the IWNET system so you don't get to level 50 in 2 rounds and you actually relax and have fun.

God, everyone against this is so unbelievably ignorant on the matter it boggles my mind.

I assume you are referring to quick-boost servers. They exist. DEAL WITH IT. Or do you need IW to hold your hand and make sure you don't cheat to get to the higher levels? NORMAL SERVERS EXIST. There are at last count about 5 thousand of them for CoD 4. Not every server is one that will give you 10,00 points per kill.

Every argument I see is by someone who is not a PC gamer, and thus does not understand what we are being denied because they have never experienced it themselves.

Oi. What the hell do you want from IW? They're giving you games you have near complete control over, they're giving you a way to migrate between servers as a clan, they're blocking cheating better. What more do you want?

 

[Akai Shizuku]

I already plan on boycotting it as its predecessor was nothing but a political propaganda tool, and I expect this game to follow in suit.
