If I don't buy it, it's because I'm pretty much over FPS's until I see something original being offered.Techno Squidgy said:Today I discovered that the dedicated servers promised to PC gamers for MW3 have not been what everyone expected. Dedicated servers will be unranked only. This means that if you wish to level up and make any kind of progress you have to use IWNet, the matchmaking service introduced in MW2.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
The reason most of us wanted Dedicated servers is so that we can enjoy the game with a regular group of people, in a low ping environment, with the settings how we like them. While it's true that you can still do this, it's a moot point because you make NO PROGRESS while doing this. I don't want to have to play with a bunch of random people I don't know, across someone's inevitably terrible broadband connection, with no admins, just so I can level up.
So PC gamers, I ask you, Will you be getting MW3 in light of this news?
I for one, will be cancelling my pre-order if this doesn't change.
That said, I have to ask, why should a private match allow you to progress? Whats the point of having progress tracked by lvls and leaderboards if people will be able to game system with regards to them in private matches?
Sorry bro, no pity here. You can do like the rest of us and make progress against random players with your inevitably terrible broadband connection, or cry about it on a forum and not buy the game. Oh well, one less person for me to shoot. There will be plenty others I'm sure.
