Whos buying COD:MW2?

[Acoustique]

funny how the ad accidentally covers the poll on ve3d now


happened twice now, on 2 separate computers, 2 different browsers and OS's aswell

strange isnt it?

 

[ebeattie]

Ya know, Activision seems to be trying quite hard to be the asshole publisher that EA at times is. But unlike EA, it seems that Activision is going for all asshole ALL the time!

God, I love censorship!

 

[pigwalk]

EA's been pretty good lately, good ports, new IP's, getting rid of Securom. Someone had to take their place right?

 

[RavenX]

I'm gonna get it for PC.

FAIL

So why are you getting this even after seeing this? Please explain, really I like to know. Must be the 10 dollar increase, or the ability to save online?

I'd also add to that list that since there is no console, you can't play in windowed mode anymore.

Which BLOWS! I always play my games in windowed mode.

I've never understood why anyone would want to play their games in windowed mode.

if they have 2 screens, they can chat on MSN while they play instead of having to minimize, open, etc...plus it's quicker to deal with the OS

don't ask me why someone would do that, but it's a possibility

Neither - 66%... This forum rocks!

You can have two screens and still play full screen games on only one display. Maybe I'm old fashioned or something but when I'm playing a game, I don't give two squirts of piss about IM's or E-Mail, or even other applications.

 

[Leb_CRX]

ya, I got 3 screens

but if you want to use something on another screen, you have to minimize the game, or alt+tab, and that takes a while in fullscreen mode
in windowed mode, takes seconds

Ok, so I finally got around to reading that Best Buy transcrip where all of this news was reiterated and the9v9 was referenced:

1. HOW IN THE WORLD is a game balanced/not balanced for LEANING!?!
2.

TRU-Jennifer: What are the current steps being taken in regard to active blocking measures that some major ISPs have taken regarding Peer 2 Peer connections, such as what Comcast does?

Mackey-IW: Only players capable of hosting will be host.

Wha? SO they can tell when an ISP limits P2P BEFORE making a connection?

3.

ulukai: I'm in a lan party association our last lan had 400 players, can we play lan with the pc version and is the game made for lan party competition and last question could you explain why there is no collector version on pc ?

...

Mackey-IW: As long as you can connect to steam you can play the game fine.

This after recently saying that playing without an internet connection on a lan works fine... how does that work exactly w/o internet to Steam?

4.

Moriarte: Ignoring IW.net, is the PC version a direct port of the console version?

Mackey-IW: No, PC has custom stuff like mouse control,

...oh my

It seems like the folks at IW are just incapable of listening or critically thinking about the PC gaming market at all right now...

 

[Dan_D]

Yeah Infinity Ward can pretty much blow me on this one. They can keep their MW2 for all platforms as far as I am concerned. Come back to us when you remember how to make games right again.

 

[imExcitebike]

The main reason I'll be buying this for X360 is because all of my friends will be as well. I would prefer to play it on my PC, but, having no friends that can afford a PC that can handle it, it makes it less fun to not have anyone I know to play with.

i like to smoke crack cuz other people are doing it

doesn't mean you should buy the game

All these issues that everyone is whining and QQing over don't matter to me. They are not impeding my decision to buy the game.

I would prefer to get the game for pc., but no one I KNOW PERSONALLY is getting it for the pc, they are getting it for x360.

The choice of which I should get it for, with the purpose of playing with friends, is obvious.


PS I'm sorry about your crack addiction

It will be interesting to hear the reports come launch day about IWnet...lag anyone?

 

[Gorankar]

The MP on the PC side is dead for this one b4 the game even launches. ala FEAR 2, and for the same reasons.

 

[AirCooledMustang]

I'm buying it for the Co-op and story mode witch look great. and i don't cry about the changes they made, they might not even be real just fake, seeing all you people say MW2 is going to suck is funny, i would love to see you make a game just a good as it.

Just becuase you can't make a game doesn't mean you can say a game sucks guy. I can't build a Pentium III processor but I can certainly say that it sucks compared to what we have today. Same with MW2, you may not be able to make it but you can certainly say it sucks compared to what is already available. Think before posting next time.

Oh, and the changes aren't fake, it's straight from IW themselves. What a retarded post i just responded to.

Yes, because coding a game yourself is a prerequisite for commenting on a game's features or lack of them.
No dedicated server or mod tools for the PC means the MP portion will tank. Name any recent games that maintain a large player base for more than a few months after release, that lack both of those. You can get away with no mod tools for a while, but no dedicated server is an instagib in a MP FPS title.

here's to hoping the next IW patch for CoD4 isn't one to gib it, like what happened to the console version already!

Any new patch for Call of Duty 4 that changes anything significant probably won't get installed on my system.

yeah, but a bunch of id10ts will, and that will cut down on the number of servers (out of 11000 last I checked, so... who cares )


MW2's system forces this, no matter what.

its ok crack is ok


your ok man! buy your cod4 for 360 or ps3

Not buying it. Not even for console. I'm a PC gamer and they shit all over us. Kiss my ass IW.

 

[zero2dash]

Agreed.
I was hyped to get the PC version Monday night; after reading a minute ago about the 9 vs 9 restriction on PC as well as console, they can kiss mine as well. I'll put my money towards L4D2 and Borderlands instead.

I want to believe this is all Activision's doing, but who knows.

 

[M3T4LM4N222]

I was going to buy it, but with my internet situation (170kb/s download, 100kb/s upload) there is no point, besides, all my friends are console fanatics, and I will be going over to one of there house's on the day of the release. I bought L4D + L4D2 for PC as an alternative, but I still can't game online so..

I am still on the line about it.

I dont know if ill buy it or not. I really just want to play the single player now... $60 is a bit much.

Because with the exception of lean (don't care) and the price (wait for a deal) none of those points apply to the single-player. If it delivers another "All Ghillied Up", then it'll be worth it for me.

I never once fired up the MP for CoD4, and never had any intention of doing so with MW2.

 

[yeap]

As a long time PC cod fan i will not be buying the new one. I dont like what IW has done with the dedicated servers, getting rid of lean, capping the amount of players, and not allowing mod use to get rid of the terrible perk system. MW2 is a console port plain and simple. I knew something was wrong with COD when they allowed Treyarch to make another game. It feels like stab in the back to the PC community. Now that COD is dead im more interested in what new game will takes it place.
