So how many of oyu have cancelled your MW2 pre-orders? (PC)

[Frapple]

*
We're doing a lot on the backend to make the game accessible for everyone.
*
There is no delay for the PC version of MW2
*
There's prestige mode
*
Jason West at the MP event, said that he was dead on, on the matchmaking servers. We've been building a system on the backend called IW.NET.
*
You are completely reliant on IW.NET. There are no server lists. There are no dedicated servers.
*
You have private matches where you can customize the game
*
You cannot put MW2 on a dedicated server.
*
This is the first time we've ever done something like this and the team has huge plans for what IW.NET develops into.
*
Customizing your game...you have quite a few options in a private match
*
You're getting same game (as in Console), plus matchmaking and private match.
*
Server admin point-of view, NO DEDICATED SERVERS

Liked the first Modern Warfare, automatic weapons could've done with some recoil but was generally a great game, good enough to get me back into competitions & leagues anyway (hadn't played in one since 1.6/CoD.)

This is a deal breaker for us, all 7 of us on vent have just cancelled.

So your just getting the console version,big deal.Seems a bit much to cancel your pre-order.

 

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

I don't care about the multiplayer. It is an added extra to whatever I get.

 

[Frapple]

...because we've run gaming servers since quake 2 and have built up a great community,

...because we'd like to play above 1280x720 resolution with 2xAA.

...because we can't more than 8 people in party play on XBL.

at least XBL has a party system

 

[x434343]

If the game has matchmaking that is ANYTHING like Left 4 Dead, I think we're good.

 

[Sassafrass]

Umm...

Why have you cancelled it, exactly?

[sup]Also, looks like boycotting CoD: MW2 is the new thing.[/sup]

er no. only reason I wanted the game is for multiplayer. MP was great in cod4 on PC at least. now theres no point buying the game at all. SP will be ok but last a couple of hours. MP will be shite because its console-lized.

 

[Sassafrass]

Gotta love the fact this will soon descend into flames...

console-lised=shite?

Granted i don't know much about online pc gaming.

This. This. A billion times this. I have no doubt the multiplayer will be fun, but I couldn't care less to be honest. I’ll be buying it for the single player, though I doubt I’ll be pre ordering it.

 

[Mcface]

I canceled my PC preorder and put it on the 360.

 

[scotth266]

Yeah, pretty much. Boycotts are the new "thing" these days.

 

[Ironic]

I canceled my PC preorder and put it on the 360.

Lol, pretty much the same, but I pre-ordered borderlands instead.

After two COD games in a row, I don't think there's much else they can do to keep me interested.

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

I...don't think I care. If I buy it, it will be for the single player campaign.

 

[Chipperz]

I canceled my PC preorder and put it on the 360.

I'm not trying to troll with this, it's a serious question but...

Out of interest, why? I keep getting told that FPS's on the PC are far superior to FPS's on the console because of Keyboard/Mouse, so wouldn't it still make sense for a PC gamer to get it on the PC?

 

[Sassafrass]

Yeah, pretty much. Boycotts are the new "thing" these days.

I have a plan to deal with boy-cotting...

We boy-cot boy-cotting!! It's an awesome plan!!

We'll stop boy-cotting in its tracks!

each to his own but I way way way prefer online multiplayer on PC, I would never play cod4 on console for the same reasons I won't buy MW2. so for me yeah, shite.

like above poster gona buy borderlands instead. here comes the bad part about PC gaming, bet all my friends who will buy it are console gamers so I can't do co-op with them

Probably the easier input method for newer gamers that is making console gaming so popular now
