The trailer is alittle cool, I wish they didn't cancel releasing the modding tools for the PC version. But I wonder if they will stick the modding tools in a .iw file like they did with cod2 (dout it thou) This is why I play it on the xbox 360 anyways.

Full list of perks, dunno if you guys didn't know yet so yeah. No more marty anymore, yes!
I would be ashamed to be part of their production team.Quote:

QFT. What kind of sick minded person would be proud of what IW has done. I can understand that you'd play the game regardless, but to promote what they did as a great thing? Destroying the PC community, the very one that created them, is something to be proud of? That's like today's U.S. government burning the Bill of Rights and creating a new set of rules that restricts the freedom of people. Almost like what the president did in the Fallout universe.Quote:

It better, just because they screwed PC players over doesn't mean the game itself is terrible. They no doubt put a ton of effort into this game. I totally agree with you guys that it sucks what they did to PC players but it doesn't mean the game itself will be any different. Then again I prefer console because of the fact that it has match making....and I suck with a mouse. Who knows though, they may patch it to allow dedi's, once they realize PC sales tank. Console will no doubt sky rocket into record sales. Also it's not like they removed dedis for no reason. They had a reason. Still I don't agree with it but it's not like they were like "HURR LETS BONE THE PC COMMUNITY CAUSE CAN HURRRRR". Can't say I agree with the player cap though....
Yeah but penguin...if they're fucking over a certain audience and important features are missing...why would the game merit a perfect score? These are MAJOR flaws, no matter how you slice it.
Because hype = good scores.
And so does a nice "donation" from infinity ward to the reviewers.
I can't wait to see the "professional reviewer" (read: paid off assholes) scores as 9.2 average, with the user reviews being just marginally over 2 or 3.
I was excited for this game before I saw the shit like sentry guns, dual wielding, and some of the perks. And they fucked over the PC version, good thing I'm getting it for console.
Also, jcap, I doubt the user review will be like that. There will be thousands of kiddie fan boys rating it a 10 just because it's MW2.
campaigns supposed to be about 3 hours long.
Love, Caskey.
Well, that's why I gave it around a 3, counting those fanboys who will give it nothing less than a 10/10. Maybe I shouldn't have said 3. I doubt it will have an average above 5 though.Quote:

Turns out Infinity Ward isn't the only PC-based company considering ditching dedicated servers. iD is too >>
iD says likely no dedicated servers for RAGE
I can only pray this isn't the start of the downward spiral.
brb, nuking activision and iD
Oh cool, IW started a trend.
I wouldn't worry so much about that. Judging by the overwhelming reaction to IW's decision, companies will realize soon that dedi removal is not the brightest idea. Especially when PC sales start to drop drastically.

I understand what you are saying, is this going to be like what Microsoft tried to do with H2V (minus Dedi Servers), pay to play as it may be?
I would not be surprised, even though as long as there are alternatives, and programmers willing to stick the alternatives into hit PC games (like someone making an unofficial Dedicated Server patch for MW2), I cannot see these pay-to-play (for non-mmo) business plans working out.
It won't work. Ever.
PC gamers are (for the most part) smarter than console kids and know when there getting ripped off.
That's another reason while H2V sold like ass.
That isn't hope. It's a way of not cutting your own throat when a knife is held against it.Quote:

If they said they were adding back dedicated servers, everyone will shut up. Hell, it's what they want. But if they said that and they didn't deliver, then they'd be caught in a very very bad lie. If they said they were never going to put dedicated servers in, they would have just put salt on the wound and lost even those people buying the game hoping it might be added in the future, since all hope would be lost. So, they said the equivalent of "maybe". The complaining can't get any worse than it is now, and they are still able to screw over their customers!

Investigators cross-referenced the user's e-mail address with a Facebook account which had his cell phone number listed, and determined his identity to be 18-year-old Christian Del Amo. They turned the information over to the Miami-Dade police department, who arranged to purchase a pirated copy of the game and bust the hacker in the process.
Police obtained the game from a "runner," who led them back to Del Amo. The 18-year old was arrested yesterday, and is currently incarcerated in Miami's Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. IPCybercrime told VentureBeat that Del Amo was set up to sell thousands of illegal copies of Modern Warfare 2.

While an arrest was made in the case, it didn't come quick enough to prevent piracy of the game. Illegal copies of Modern Warfare 2 have been appearing on peer-to-peer file-sharing services since earlier this week, potentially costing publisher Activision thousands of lost sales.
Good. I hope they lose a lot of sales because of their betrayal to PC gamers.
P.S. 2500th post!
Go Del Amo! You are an hero!
They deserve the thousands of lost sales. IW is is ripping off the gaming community with a shitty product surrounded by hype. There's probably going to be way more than just the few thousand that pirated it who will buy the game and regret it, and IW is going to make off with their money.
As far as I am concerned with the game, IW could not make a single sale and every single copy could be pirated and it still wouldn't be enough.
I think the game is still going to be fun. Ill let you know when I play Tuesday.
I lol'd at the leaker when it was posted on facebook. I want to see nobody in this community buy the PC version since it sucks like hell, and hope they get the console ones.
I wonder how many people bought the Prestige Edition in modacity for throwing out $150 for NVG's, paper, metal, cardboard and a disk. Hope the NVG's work
Buying the console version over the PC solves nothing. That just causes more damage. And the game is shit. It's not worth any version.
I will rent it for the SP, and I would advise all of you to do that. It gives no extra money to IW or Activision, but it lets you enjoy the story.
video game rental stores must get the game for free thenQuote:

I thought about buying it, but no console, no mods, and a 9 vs 9 limit ruined it for me. I hate big 60 people games, but I usually play 24-38 players games, they just seem a perfect amount of people. Especially since in smaller games I play usually have a lot more camping.Quote:

Looking at videos of the [leaked] game and such, it looks promising. I'm going to buy it (which I was planning to do anyway), because this is Infinity Ward. So far, they've nailed every game they've made, and I have good faith in them that MW2 will be as great as the rest of their work. The quality of everything looks just as great as every other game they've made...and the fp animations still look godly, which is, mainly what I look at in a game. So far it hasn't failed me yet in picking a game a love playing.
I do care and am angry at what they did, but to be honest, Matchmaking is kind of cool. I always liked being able to talk to people before the game started, and a lower player count allowed me to connect with each player better. Having so many players, you lose track of everyone, and the actual experience is hurt because you just seem anonymous and no one really cares if you kill them. In smaller games, I'll sometimes form a little rivalry with a player and I just have much more fun.
Consoles = Just play the game normally, no mods, less lag (most times), better graphics (stays that way)
PC = trash, no dedi, no modifications, no dev, mouse and keyboard (obviously is custom >_>), optimized horribly (depends), graphics can suck ass depending on your computer
You guys don't have to be a hate machine about it, its fucking over and done with, I dout IW will change their mind on PC stuff unless their sales drop badly. This isn't to flame anybody, just saying. The only way IW will change their mind is mostly by sales for the PC, or they can care less since consoles will be really high and they will make tons of money off of it since the pre-orders are above 1.5 million
E: I forgot the sales, I think its above 1 million
Getting it for the 360, but not on the release day.

I have a key for this game, but it says i cannot activate the code in my region.
fucking aussies >.>
As the reviews start coming in...
Two perfect scores for the console version to start us off. Let's see how the next couple days progress.
I have played it, and its not MW anymore.
Its more like Modern Warfare: Combat Evolved.
I wonder who received a laundry bag of money?Quote:

Alright I gotta say this. As pissed off as I am at Infinity Ward, I think you're letting your bias get the better of you on this one. IF the PC version starts getting perfect scores, by all means let loose but let's wait until we start hearing things from more "renowned" review sites.Quote:

I don't believe in giving a game an overall score, so that's why I kept those two parts separate. If someone is getting a game for SP only, like I was going to, I don't want to hear about the collective score with multiplayer that I'll never care for.
:v:
Those graphics look like arse Pyong. Please tell me the majority of the game looks better :|
Its not my copy of the game in that screen, but, that is a bad example of gfx, and might not be maxed out.
im a sly fuck. preordered this shit about 15 minutes ago. going to midnight release in a few hours. apparently theyre going to have some national guard guys down at the gamestop too

I mean, yeah, Infinity Ward/Activision really seem to have fucked up (I'll judge that tomorrow/Wednesday) but damn it their animators are still some of the best :bowdown:
I agree, the developers themselves did a great job and we can't group them with the decision makers. I want to support them, but the other guys had to ruin it.
50.cal with silencer. Wait what?
And for fucks sake they fixed the acog scope which was my biggest problem with CoD4.
FFFFFFFFFFF Hurry up with the cracked servers mod!
Should I get the game for Xbox? Solely for SP? It's $80 here.
If your going to get it get it on the PC. Xbox limits you to controller but on PC you at least get the choice.
I want refs :realsmug:Quote:

Playing with a maximum sensitivity would fuck me up so bad on M&KB because I twitch look and twitch aim like crazy.
Well, for some reason P2 does, especially since USB, for some reason, does not have custom key mapping enabled and if using usb you need a wireless controller plugged in, then switch to that. Good thing my dad keeps his old pc's from 2002 around so I have stuff.Quote:

Imho, if I where to get an adapter, I would get the XIM, its just that much better.
One thing that made me laugh and just shake my fucking head was the level were you play undercover and shoot up a fucking airport. That's all you're doing. Shoot 'em up.
This may work well and all for mindless fuck 12 year olds (whose parents are suppose to buy the game for them, but will ultimately blame developers for their too mindless acts if the child fucks up), but in order for me to actually justify wanting to progress further is having an actual goal I'm trying to accomplish. If I wanted to just shot shit I would fire up Firefight. At least then I get some variety with it as well.
Also, if any reviewer tries to claim that level as controversy then look up their GTA or Saints Row review. You've been able to kill innocent bystanders for years now, there's nothing new about it in games and it is a completely mindless action in this one. Really though, you could go the whole mission by just shooting the airport security only. There really is nothing special about shooting up "civilian" NPCs.
Seeing as how MW2 "uses licensed technology from id Software"
id's Rage unlikely to use dedicated servers.
I think it's pretty clear that the "brains" of the outfit for IW are not really brains at all. Rather, they're complacent fucks with no concern over what drives a good story or how to translate a story into a game for that matter. Now it seems to be apparent that they chose to license their tech rather than develop it themselves. If you're going to make a game, at least make sure the tech/engine you're using can support your ideas and goals (assuming you set goals). I bet id gave them a discount so they can be the ones to break the lack of dedi support news.
I'll admit though, the game artists did a pretty damn good job (though, overall, it doesn't seem any more advance than Halo 3's engine). At least they held up their end of the game-developing-process.
