I will remind you that MW is the spawn of BF2! Never forget that!Char-Nobyl said:
Well some times dedicated servers will render big (or small) close-nit communities. Which can be really great. You can choose so you NEVER have to worry about lag. Admins can keep control over them kicking and banning idiots, pirates and hackers. If a brilliant mod is released (say Counter Strike) you can create a server for people to play your mod on.Brockyman said:
This is not only because of the dedicated server deal. It's the anti-mod thing they are doing. A mod like Counter-Strike or Poke 646 can really give you more out of your game. Even some custom maps, skins, stories, quests, models and rules can give your game more life. Removing those things and dedicated servers... well it's like removing 3/4 of the game... THEN CHARGE MORE FOR IT!? What do they think we are? Idiots?
Anyway, dedicated servers really improves your chances of a proper lag-free match by... well you are sure to get what you want. Support for dedicated servers and a proper serer-list is the best thing in the world.
In peer-to-peer it's really a gamble.
Thank you much! That gives me a bit more insight. For the non-PC gamers, it as hard to understand exactly what was going on...WickedSkin said:
I've seen some of some of the mods for COD4 and Half Life/Half Life 2 before, and they looked really fun.
I honestly think they are trying to do something they feel is better (or Activision is being a bunch of doucebags as usual), BUT, being a marketing professional myself, they should have listened to your community before making the decision, OR, if they really can't do it from a technological or cost standpoint, at least give that as a reason...
No they don't, they really don't. I still don't forgive them for Tiberium Wars.L33tsauce_Marty said:
It's about principle, can't just get rid of options for a stupid reason.Nicky 3 Beaves said:
A lot of people don't like it when one of there favourite parts of multiplayer online is taken away and replaced with something they don't like. If everyone just didn't care then they would get away with anything.GamingAwesome1 said:
Also I am so sick of this PC gamer/Console gamer crap, it used to be just gamer. The reason a lot of gamers would buy a game for computer instead of the console is because they preferred it. Dedicated servers and what not made it a better experience.
The reasons they've given so far aren't that brilliant:Brockyman said:

It's full of BS.
All this boils down to is that they want to turn games from US into China. They don't want you to make mods, new custom maps, replacement skins and so forth. They want you to buy and download their stupid ass DLC instead. They just want you to pay them a lot more then you should.
They are just being douche bags. People will accept this because they are apathetic. Console gamers were naive or apathetic. They hardly have any freedom at all. They just throw cash at everyone who asks them to.
As a gamer of both PCs and consoles I really dont like the tone of your post. Every purchase I made for either PC or console,I still use.I may not agree with the way it was done as a whole(some "DLC" should be free depending on the game) but I was hardly just throwing cash around.WickedSkin said:
As a console gamer I take offense..
Well you go ahead and do that. ()akmarksman said:
But you don't feel offended every time they expect you to pay more for less? Then ask you to pay again and again for a tiny bit more? On consoles prices might be different because of different licensing. However developers now, when they realized people will accepted it, release less game and charge the same. Only to make you pay even more for a tiny bit of DLC.
Now they will be trying harder and harder to do the same to PCs. I feel bloody offended.
Imagine all new tvs didnt let you choose what channel to watch. Instead the remote just has one big button called "match making" it then randomly selects a channel for you.GamingAwesome1 said:
If you want a different channel because its put you on the Weather Channel, you must either sit through the whole program before it works again, or turn the tv off and on again!
wait, this counts as news!?
geez, if I do something stupid with $60, can I be featured on the escapist?

DAMN, that is COLD, but so trueLamppenkeyboard said:
If Infinity Ward was any lesser of a company, I hope they realize that everybody would hate them. They are just so lucky they have their army of consumer zombies.
Hahah.
I had a good laugh at this. I'm not a PC gamer, so I don't particularly care, but if he thinks his $60 matters to DICE, he's probably quite mistaken.
Then again, maybe more people will do this and it will mean a lot more, but that's a horrible longshot.

BF:BC is a pretty damn good console shooter. Hell, I'd say its my favorite. kicks so much ASS!
and this 60$ thing is creating GOOD publicity for DICE and B-company 2, so i do not think it will be a mistake.
although i sure as hell wouldn't do such a thing, because i have better uses for the 60$ i'm not spending on MW2 (BOOZE!)

I was never really interested in MW2 to begin with, but I guess some just have to take it a step or two above the people like me and really send a message to the folks at IW.
I'm not very "gung ho" about CoD games, I prefer them over Halo, but I'd never go and actually buy one. Valve has kept me pretty content.
