Since the new server system IW uses it's not possible for any person to kick another as of now. Obviously this is heavily exploited by pirates

MW2 sucks, pirates suck, now if you'll excuse me I'll go back to playing Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising, which i don't think ANYBODY cared about enough to pirate it (I'm a huge fan of the original)...
Hey, that's a great new way to stop piracy! Fire your marketing dept, stop giving your game so much hype, no-one will even know its released, then no-one will pirate!

You know what we need to stop those pirates?
Ninjas.
EA should train a giant ninja army and then shrink them into the computer like in Tron. After taking 2 1/2 seconds to defeat the Master Control Program, they'll then be free to safeguard all the copies of Modern Warfare 2 (since, after all, it's the only game worth protecting).
When a pirate downloads an illegal copy of the game, the next thing they know, they've got Ninja! They'll probably be assassinated instantly from their eye patch blindside.

Being that 360 and PS3 gamers are pirating it also I guess they'll be giving up making games altogether?HG131 said:
Customer service comes before company profits. Because without the former, there's no reason to receive the latter. I still stick by my original opinion.
Well, a fix came out for Batman 2 days after the anti-piracy measure was discovered.Slash Dementia said:
$5 is what bootleg 360 games usually go for. I get mine for about the same price. Same thing for bootleg PC games, except the price of those of whether it's in a CD, a DVD-5, a DVD-9 or two DVD-9s.
True! I mean, Dreamfall sold exceedingly well for a game with no advertising, and hardly anyone pirated it. However, pirates tend to gravitate towards flashy, overhyped shooters liek Crysis or MW2. It's a shame, they play those bland, uninspired messes and miss out on the greatest gems.UtopiaV1 said:
This is just me but if I was a game developer I would abandon the PC altogether.
They get ia lot of whining, claims that the game will be boycotted, pirates and cheaters that ruin it for everyone that wants to play legitmately. This doesn't apply to all PC gamers of course, I'm sure there are many decent PC gamers, they just aren't the ones we hear about.
I respect IW for their decision, they want people to play the game as they made it and I think they did it with the best intentions and not to ruin the game on the PC. They want the experience to be good for everyone not just a select few and their attempt to prevent cheating may not have worked as well as intended but at least they're doing something, it's only early days.

The problem is the IW will use poor game sales as a reason to not develop games for the PC in the future.
Its a shame, because their games are normaly good, if overpriced

I'm glad you're not.mstickle said:
Actually when we had dedicated servers pirates couldn't play on genuine servers, they kept to themselves and we kept to ourselves. Now everybody plays together. Go figure.mstickle said:
I think they did it for the worst intentions so they can bring dedicated servers back later on as this "awesome new thing" and then charge their usage with a monthly subscription. But that's just me. And the CFO of Activision that hinted at it.mstickle said:
