call of duty modern warfare 2

[Spike88]

I'm not really "excited" about MW2, even though I've played through the CoD4 story 10-15 times(its something I can pick up on the fly and play). Although I'm pre-ordering the Hardened edition when I get paid Tuesday.
CoD4 has a nice story and well polished gameplay.The only negative is its just its like Halo in the sense that everyone thinks its the sliced bread of gaming.

I'm mostly getting the hardened edition for the CoD1 download code :P.

I think there is also two other MW2 threads. I know one of them for sure because I made it, although it was mostly about the prestige edition.

The game I'm most excited about at the moment is Assassin's Creed 2.

Absolutely! And I completely agree about the Halo comment lol. I enjoyed COD4, It's just not as good as people make out.

I was partially excited for it, but since there will be no dedicated servers, then as a PC gamer I join the others that boycott the game.

Not a huge loss for me anyway as I have other games I look way more forward too.

Just a heads-up on this one: It strongly looks like you'll be getting yet another console-port.

This pretty much sums it up:

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 and you can add in that the max number from what I get is 9vs9, so I assume maps might not be the biggest, and that there is NO LEAN feature in the PC version ( I guess not on the console one either ).

Seriously as I read on another forum this seems to be one of the biggest
FU*K YOU from any devloper to a PC community, a PC community that of course was the one that made the series popular in the beginning.

No way in H*ell I buy this title, it looks like it will be a beta test for their new IW.net or whatever it is called.

wow, MW2 sounds like a weak game.

Ahhh CoD when it was all pc. No grenade indicator, you had to listen for the tell-tale sound. No health regeneration either. CoD and the United Offensive expansion offered me some of the most fun I've had in first person multiplayer. The artillery barrage in UO was hilariously unfair at times though. 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 get it for 360

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...

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.
