wow, MW2 sounds like a weak game.

I loved being the one dishing it out. Gotta love 64 player battles on decent sized maps. I so miss CoD1 Search & Destroy mode with 64 players. That **** was intense!

I wonder why that game 'Joint Ops' never really got popular. I think you could play 120-something multiplayer in it. It was hella fun, but often became laggy as hell when I tried it. It was pretty cool when a team was losing a point, and then a bunch of em would pick mortars and bomb the hell out of the point, much to the dismay of the enemy that just captured it and decided to spawn there.

I'd like to see a new CoD with at least 64 player multiplayer AND decent sized maps right out of the box. I don't know how, but the maps in CoD1, despite being fairly small, felt just right for hectic (but not ridiculous) 64-player fights. Oh man I just remembered deployable machine guns in UO. They were awesome. Do the CoD game's still have those? Those mg's made capture-the-flag a more dangerous game.

I just saw Law Abiding Citizen and it made me think about the ability to control a Froster-Miller Talon armed with a .50 cal. It would be like the AC-130 scene from CoD4:MW. I know I would enjoy playing it.

Ill enjoy this game when I get my hands on it for PS3, but for PC NO WAY! No dedicated servers = garbage game.

Well I enjoy your disapointment towards the lack of dedicated servers, but by still buying the game in give your money to IW I can not see that it will do any good in the end.

By all means it is not a critique we can all do as we wish, but I have opted out buying the game independent of platform.

I have never really liked the CoD series...(some of the old ones were pretty good.)

I always found that they aimed towards a younger, and more"bang bang" group...

I think thats just it, I really enjoyed the first ones ages ago. Then I jumped ship for a while, until I tried COD4. I dont like that stuff anymore, its more like watching a pretty cartoon while clicking the mouse here and there.

Thats never going to happen again.
Activision/IW have decreed that going forward COD on pc will be exactly as COD on console. That is to say COD as a pc game will be S H I T.

• No dedicated servers
• No more kicking or banning players from servers
• IW.net decides who hosts
• Automatic host migration
• No mods
• No lean
• No console
• FOV locked at 65
• 25% price increase over previous game
• pc version is lucky to get mouse control and graphic settings

100% S H I T, not worthy of buying, renting or surfing the high seas.

Good one

On a more serious note this is starting to be quite a trend. Not that it has yet affected any games I'm seriously awaiting for(bar SH-series where the lack of dedi isn't really a problem), but things don't certainly look promising for PC gamers.

It depends really.
Some pc games have a multiplayer component where at most 3 to 6 players will play together. Other games such as Dangerous Waters don't need a dedicated server because of how the missions are played.
A game such as Falcon 4 that has a dynamic multiplayer campaign needs to have a dedicated server.
FPS games where more than 20 people are expeted to play on maps need a dedicated server.
What irks me is that everything in MW2 is a downgrade with respect to MW except the price that has gone up. This makes no sense and pc gamers should really be leaving this piece of C R A P on the shelves.

Since we are kind of on the topic of fps games, what are some good and very recent PC fps shoot em up games with dedicated servers and large multiplayer? Battlefield 2 is getting kinda old. I like playing with large maps and lots of people.

Multiplayer fps games that I recall playing and enjoying the hell out of are; the old CoD + UO, Battlefield 42, Red Orchestra, and Battlefield 2. I used to be into Quake and UT. I know UT is still around in some form or other, but somehow they aren't interesting to me anymore. There was a brief stint I enjoyed an mmo called Planetside, but monthly fee's aren't my thing so I ditched it long ago. Hows the action in Arma 2 online? Are there large scale player battles? I've only ever really did little co-op affairs. The Operation Flashpoint style of games just never seemed suitable for large player battles. Sure the huge maps and vehicles are there, but I don't think the game's popular enough for me to just join a 60+ player game whenever I feel like it.

I guess what I really want right now is another Battlefield game Any news on Red Orchestra 2?

ps. I would love it if every fps game would have proper bullet penetration. Also, I've yet to see anything top the awesomeness of Red Orchestra's 'suppression' effects.

I also wonder why someone would pay THAT MUCH MONEY!!! LOL for a peice of s*** game that probably has a linear storyline that is boreing...

I wonder... if I put CALL OF DUTY, THE UBER SUPER DUPER EDITION!!! on a peice of dog s*** if I could make tons of money off it. (and ruin some kids console who trys to shove it in...)

Modern warfare 2, get killed a new way!, no leaning! rush out and get shot, instead of leaning around and shooting!

I just saw a video of the "No Russian" chapter of MW2 and I'm sure it will make some people angry...if they where mad at GT4 then "No Russian" will be a nuclear bomb to the few that usually complain about violence in video games.

This is the part where you go through the Airport killing people?

I'm glad I work 6-2 on Tuesday, I'll go straight from work to my local gamestop and pick up my hardened edition.
