I'm buying it for the PC. I'm a PC gamer first and I couldn't give a rat's ass about console play. Hopefully their new MP model works well. If it doesn't, then I won't be so eager to buy their next Modern Warfare installment.

With no dedicated servers for PC, who doesnt care and will still buy it? I was on the fence with PC before, and still am.

No dedicated servers, they can kiss my ass. I never finished the single player campaigns on Cod4 or WaW...it's the online MP I crave...


Oh well. Fuck them. I am not buying MW2. I will get Forza 3 and the new MX vs ATV for my 360, and keep playing Cod4 and WaW online....

Can't you get whoever you've pre-ordered with to give you your money back or at least put it towards another game?

Host it yourself and hope you can get other people to join or face the dire consequences of unfair latency in you join someone elses game. And then hope / pray there aren't 16 players over P2P. Exit / enter - cycle and try to find a good game. Good luck! You're going to need it

Welcome to P2P dogturd multiplayer.
 
I would have purchased several copies...at least 20.

I just took over a small ISP service for soldiers here in Iraq and have plans to host game servers on the LAN. I was planning on ordering copies to resell here and setup a dedicated server.

That plan went out the window. I guess I will stick with COD4, BF2, and whatever other games they request that support dedicated servers.

I only have 2 megs of bandwidth. This will be blocked.
 
I dont buy games for more than $20-30. Btw, why is MW1 still $40!?:confused: Still lots of other older games I haven't played yet.
 
I would have bought it on the first day for the multiplayer only. I will NOT give them any money for the crap they are trying to pull.
 
I really think that this game is going to be cracked for dedicated servers at some point. I mean, where there's a will there's a way. Take a look at the Iphone and how jailbroken its gotten. Modern Warfare 2 is the iphone for the gamer's world and I doubt it's going to go for too long without some kind of dedicated server support, not for IW, from the community itself. Whether or not those dedicated servers cracked are going to require legitimate copies of the game is a totally different story.
 
I'm all over MW2, but not for $60. I'll wait for the price to drop $15 - $20. I play SP so the furor over servers is meaningless to me.

You can just go cancel and get your money back. You shouldn't feel like you are obligated to purchase it.
 
Sorry IW. I did love you but you screw your community and I will never be able to support you. Espically since you had a price hike out from the middle of left field. More money for a game missing features? No fucking way.

You don't know that for sure. I'll give them a fair shake on this one. If it doesn't work, then they can kiss my ass until it does. I'll avoid any future Modern Warfare titles as well. I liked the last one, and hopefully I'll like this game. Most of the time changes like this are overblown by the community who loves nothing more than to whine and bitch because someone decided to do somethiing different.

Either the MP will work fine in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 or it won't. I'm not going to agonize about it or act like Infinity Ward raped my dog or something until I'm sure they did something terrible.
 
I am definitely not buying this. Especially after all I and IW have been through and they do this to me :(

I like how you talk as if Infinity Ward is reading these forums and listening to you.


Couldn't they just add dedicated server support if this path bombs? I have faith. Besides the fact that I don't really give a shit about multi. SP story is what I'm in for.
 
Hrm, Why are they doing this?
Do they not realize that without proper servers people wont play?
 
More than likely it will still be one of the largest selling games, even on PC, especially this year. People will still buy this game and play, it may even draw some less than admirable people to the PC version of the game since they basically turned matchmaking on PC into the console version. Who they really destroyed with this is the clans, modders, and hardcore competitors who have their own dedicated servers to play on. This includes most of us on the forums. Basically this helps little Jimmy Douchebag play the PC version, but hopefully this won't happen nearly as bad as we might expect.

While helping them charge us for DLC, the pros are easier updating of the game, and possibly better stopping of hackers and aimbotters. The actual implementation of the system may be better than previous "update" packages, if they stay on top of cheaters. But the cons seriously outweigh the pros at this point in time. I still have some optimism in the situation, no one can tell us what the future may hold for this system.

iam not gonna buy this first day iam going to wait and see before they get my money
 
Was thinking about buying it on release day but wont happen anymore. Ill probably buy it used at sub $30 for the SP but thats later on in the future
 
I was going to buy it, since I liked CoD4 that much, but after the recent news I said fuck it and ordered Borderland PC instead.
 
I canceled my preorder for MW2 after the IW edict.

I will focus on Risen, Dragon Age, Borderland and Civ. 4.
 
Fuck IW for doing this those greed bastards. They won't get my money as the MP was what I was most excited about.

Not sure how you are going to do that given that it uses steamworks

Obviously, he doesn't care for multiplayer. I'm not sure how connecting to the Internet to initially activate the game interferes with his enjoyment of it. We all quite clearly have access to the Internet.

The 13+ million sold on the consoles beg to differ. And this game has been in Xbox Live's top 5 most active games since release without any dedicated server support to speak of. Obviously the P2P system, at a minimum, works acceptably.

Yep. And that's why they aren't even flinching at the uproar from the PC gaming world. There approach will appeal to the casual mass and most of all, allow them to force DLC to PC gamers. There loss from people who are boycotting it due to dedicated server support is not enough to dissuade this.

Well seeing as the registration of the key to steam effectively means he won't be able to buy any used copies is going to be a bit problematic for his plan. Duh :rolleyes:

Those 13 million console users have no choice but to use matchmaking, what are they going to do, go play Halo 3 instead because they find MW2 matchmaking objectionable!? They deal with it because they have to.

PC users don't have to deal with the shitty experience offered by peer-to-peer because they can simply go play something else which offers dedicated servers.

P2P does not work acceptably for shooter games on PC, otherwise all the previous games released with that system would not have literally no one playing them within 2 weeks of release.
