Its called making as much money possible for doing as little work possible. I definitely changed my preorder a few days ago to Bad Company 2 cause IW aint get my money!Vault boy Eddie said:
Yeah I did, wanted to see if the new system was any good and lo' and behold it's actually not, like every PC gamer knew it wouldn't be, you just can't beat dedicated servers. I've had lag in some of the games, players skipping across the ground in some matches and slowness at times, they said it would be good, it's not even that, it's the same as on the *gulp* consoles *shudders*.
I'm not bothered though really, I had the money to spend and was looking for another game to buy and play, got Borderlands with it too
I'm hoping IW/Activision see just how much of a mess they've made and reintegrate dedicated servers into the mix, will make the multiplayer worth playing again. There is really host migration though cause the game paused to find a new host so at least that part works ok.
I didn't doubt that IW would deliver a top notch singleplayer experience, what I've played of it so far is awesome and I look forward to finishing it, but I'll take my time, not blow through it like some maniac(my mate finished it in 4 hours, who seriously does that?)and miss everything.
EDIT: I plan to get BF:BC2 also, got enough money for quite a few games so this fiasco doesn't really faze me. Sucks though that IW went this route, I've lost faith in them, as well as Activision, who no doubt enforced this decision.

I'm not getting fucking MW2.
They charge more for an ASS LOAD less content? They can go finger themselves.

Preordered it when it first came available on Steam. Today after reading yet another article online, I asked for a refund. Few hours later, I got my money back from Steam. I'm done with all of this, it's not worth $60.
Well, I wasn't going to but it in the first place but now I am NEVER going to buy it even if the price tumbles below £1.
*Hugs* Good taste in games. Except I never got Borderlands cause Left 4 Dead 2 solves that paricular need.Vault boy Eddie said:
Yes, I have plenty of work to do and other games to play, I have no intention of picking up this game. While dedicated server fiasco have turned me off multiplayer, the other lack of features such as lean, and console have stopped me from even considering playing single player. I hate playing online on the console with matchmaking servers, the reason online is so great on pc is the mini-communities that form and the endless customization possible to make the game something I enjoy, rather than the features that appeal to the masses.
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, text chat in game, and graphics settings.
Yeah, when mouse control, graphical settings, and in game text chat are the only things that differentiate the game from a console port I loose all interest.

Was originaly realy looking forward to this release. The extra money probably wouldn't have put me off that much either... but since I mostly play online with a close group of friends / clan, the whole dedicated server fiasco put me off... won't be buying this title.
Yeah, I keep hearing those people saying "Oh you are gonna cave in and buy it anyway!"
I suppose they weren't talking about me - I still haven't bought it and am going to go with DAO instead.

Oddly thats exactly what I was thinking of doing. Rather than spend $60 for a short campaign and stunted multiplayer, spend the $50 on DAO for a much longer and more fulfilling experience. It seems nowadays you'll get more for your money out of an RPG than something like a blockbuster FPS game.
Exactly, some people have the 13 year old jonas bros fan syndrome. *Oh mai gah if I don't play the game im gonna die!!!* I'm still standing!ElArabDeMagnifico said:
I was going to buy it because I played the hell out of COD4 when it came out. Sorry the dedicated server thing doesn't fly with me for this type of game. Also 9v9 seems like a harsh restriction for a PC FPS.
I have enough games to play now that I will get along without it, maybe I will buy it when the price goes down in a few years...and 2 more COD games have come out. -_-
