This guy is playing the pc version online, and frankly, atleast imho, it doesn't seem that bad, even the 360 version was less laggy than the previous cod games, I think they optimized the netcode more.

So...so hang on a sec. The only way to play multiplayer with the PC version is to use matchmaking or go through steam? For fucks sake, talk about your limited options.
I can't comprehend this. Every fucking online MP game since EVER has had LAN. You DO NOT remove LAN from a game for any reason. How the fuck are me and my freinds supposed to play this on our gamenights?Quote:

so glad i never got into cod.
Actually they are at a lower level than EA ever was. EA is actually coming back a little now that they are under new management. At least Digital Illusions CE (DICE) is still putting PC as their first priority.Quote:

You'd essentially have to have FIOS (and even then, i dunno) to be able to have that many players connect in one location like that.Quote:

What I mean by that style is the way they did it in the first game. It would cut in and out of scenes, telling the prequel to the game, all while the opening credits are running.
Hell, I'd redo this entire game if I had the chance. :|
Oh, and while I'm on the note of credits, I really want to say that the opening credits in Modern Warfare ROCKED HOUSE, while the ones in MW2 blow ass.
I just came back from closing my midnight launch for this game.
Fuck Modern warfare 2.
Thats all I have to say, I got my money back and so did all my employees.
row row fight the powa
You mean where you question if IW is seriously and knowningly trying to rob you of your money with this crap they are selling? To con, or not to con? That was their question.Quote:

The only, and I truly mean only really cool feature was snow mobile racing. That was fun. Other than that, everything else sucked.
Haha amazon has just their price by £20 its now £32.
As much as i can see everyone here hating me for it i may just pick it up just to see how bad it really is.
Ignoring IW.net, is the PC version a direct port of the console version?Quote:
Funniest question/answer I have ever seen:
Mackey-IW: No, PC has custom stuff like mouse control, text chat in game, and graphics settings.
real time player movement
Real time weapon change.Quote:

Amazon are selling mw2 for £32 i would guess that will be the cheapest you will find it for a while.Quote:

10 = Fantastic, goes way above and beyond any other game out there. Has more originality and creativity in it than every game that was released in the past year combined.
By that scale, no game should ever achieve a 10, or even a 9. I'd expect the current 7-10 games to be between 4 and 7.
You know we should be thanking infinity ward, this site was originaly based around h2vista but when h2v came out everyone thought it was absolute garbage, now we have a game worse than halo2vista.:iamafag:
Infinityward, i salute you.
Oh and whos up for a Buyers remorse V2.

The only thing stealth does in Arkham Asylum is create more and more clever ways to take out enemies. Trust me, every single enemy you see, you'll take out. It's just a matter of how you want to do it :-3Quote:

Hello Modacity,
I've noticed around the Internet, including here, that people seem to be rather upset by Modern Warfare 2. In short, it's "just a bad game." I would be concerned, but I must thank you and all of the Internet for not only giving the game gratuitous amounts of publicity by not shutting up about it (which is strange, considering most bad games are usually best ignored and left to die alone), but by playing the game anyway. In fact, some of you have even been kind enough to buy the game you all have been bashing so much! I really must thank you for all the help.
With the success of our "bad, nasty game," we have been able to convince others, such as id Software, that features that took effort are not only unnecessary to add, but are discouraged, because as far as the business world can tell, the worse a game is, the more attention and money it will receive! It's a shame Valve decided to live up to making L4D2 a full sequel, Gabe could be swimming in as much money as I am if he had just done exactly what his ungrateful followers wanted and caused more and more viral ruckus for his game. So, while those perfectly good games wither away, you all can continue to dine on my shit and let it thrive for many years to come, while the entire industry follows our example and pumps out the terrible games that give your meaningless lives something to care about for a change.
So, in closing, you're welcome for Modern Warfare 2, because you clearly love it more than any good game that's out right now.
-Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision and your new daddy
^lol
Let him play h2vista :v:Quote:

It's going to be played for a little while then people are going to go back to MW.
Just my thought though.
It's happend to many times.
ROFL, check out the tags for this thread.
ODST was overhyped and sucked? No, you're probably thinking Halo 3.Quote:

One of my LAN buddys.
Inferno Pro: lol guess what i just found out
MadSickHowitzer: what
Inferno Pro: CoD6:MW2 does NOT have lan play
Inferno Pro: how
Inferno Pro: what
Inferno Pro: fuck
Inferno Pro: holy
MadSickHowitzer: that's amazing.
MadSickHowitzer: Really?
Inferno Pro: a online shooter. with no LAN play.
Inferno Pro: thats never been done before
Inferno Pro: epic fail
MadSickHowitzer: yeah...I think the gaming industry is intentionally trying to kill off the PC market
MadSickHowitzer: This is why I pirate. These companies don't deserve profits when they treat consumers like this.
Inferno Pro: indeed
Inferno Pro: the meta critic user rating for MW2 PC is like 1.2 out of 10
Inferno Pro: no one is buyign the pc version
MadSickHowitzer: I really do genuinely believe that they're TRYING to kill the PC market. They don't want anyone making more money in that market.
MadSickHowitzer: They want to boost console sales.
Inferno Pro: prolly
MadSickHowitzer: And EA is nickel and diming the PC market with all this bullshit about taking out features and putting them in future expansion packs
MadSickHowitzer: shit that should be in the ORIGINAL game.
Inferno Pro: valve is still doing a great job with PC gaming though
MadSickHowitzer: Even with Steam. I mean, if you think about it, Steam itself may actually be GOOD for the PC market.
MadSickHowitzer: Way more than initially though.
MadSickHowitzer: t
Inferno Pro: well i dislike steam for being copy protection retarded
Inferno Pro: but valve is doing a good thing
MadSickHowitzer: but it offers so much in the way of connectivity and game purchasing
Inferno Pro: yea
Inferno Pro: but i stilll hate the copy protection
Inferno Pro: i want to be able to LAN on 1 copy of a game
Inferno Pro: and dupe it for my freinds
MadSickHowitzer: Yeah, but that's better than dealing with the bullshit EA and Microsoft are feeding us.
Inferno Pro: and shit
Inferno Pro: im pirating MW2 right now btw lol
MadSickHowitzer: oshi you are so gonna get busted though dude
Inferno Pro: naw im using mega upload
Does that site not allow you to see comments of people that rated it low?Quote:

They probably don't show negative comments.
Because IW is paying them.
I commented BTW.
Yeah, think about it, it's funny how the actual gamers are giving this game all this negative feedback but all the big reviewing sites are all praising it.
what a corrupt system. the companies that make the most money get the best reviews.
Phantom pages are back on Modacity!
I'll enjoy pirating this game until they fix the multiplayer aspects of the PC version. I'm sorry but no LAN + no server browser + no dedicated servers = retarded.
reviewers = casuals
Im like 1/2 done with the campaign and enjoy the mp. I still dont get why people are fussing so much. I am playing xbox though.Quote:

But the game its self is still good. campaign is fun. multiplayer is fun
btw guys, when I played this online on xbox, I'd say that the game is half as laggy as cod4 was, and thats on the xbox, which limits bandwidth, and on our manly pc's with tons of bandwidth, it will probably be less.
Most of the time almost everyone is at 4bars
Yep and all people on the pc need is a USB xbox controller and they can enjoy the same experience on the pc as on xbox.:iamafag:Quote:

Do. Not. Discuss. Period. x5.Quote:

(sorry about your 11gb,)
Are we allowed to talk about teal?
But seriously. How long till we get a server list on EPCgaming or something? I'm sure there will be a hack to set up modified versions of the game that you can freely join into with a 3rd party hack or patch. Then there will be a online server list and dedi's running a "dedicated" hack of the game.
If rec0 is possible I'm sure MW2 hacked dedis are.
I'm willing to bet nobody will care enough about this game to want to waste their time hacking it, much like H2V
No. People actually care about the CoD series. Compare the CoD4 and CoD:WaW community to the H2V community.
Big difference.
A very good point. Halo's community is more full of dumbass 14 year olds :v:
cept for us right guiz

I told everyone around me at my school how much this game sucked.
Most of them nodded, and apparently, I wasn't the only one warning everyone. The general consensus seems to be it sucks.
But because they're making money off of it, they will only continue to do things like this.
In unrelated news, my stepbrother (majormajormajorMAJOR IW fanboy) just told me about his plan to work at Infinity Ward when he gets older.
but this game rocks
I was hoping to see the PC version get bad reviews, but thats not happening so far. However I would be lying to say that I am not actually enjoying the game (xbox 360), I was expecting it to be far worse. It feels like an updated Cod4, hell that's what it is.
I don't play these games for the singleplayer. What IW did to the pc game worries me.
I know a kid that got mugged going home right off he picked up his game at midnight release. I heard 4 more stories of this sort. OMG controversial issue right there!: "There shouldn't be midnight launches for games!"
They got mugged by PC gamers who were raging at IW and Activision.Quote:

Well Having been doing nothing but playing this game for the past few hours.... I must say $60 well spent. They definitely rushed through the campaign and jumped around far to much and left a lot unexplained. But I still enjoyed the campaign and they DEFINITELY pushed some boundaries, with more than just the Airport scene. But that's what I liked most about it. Multilayer definitely adds some new aspects that provide plenty of entertainment and so far appears to be well balanced. I am thoroughly enjoying it so far, but that's just my two cents.
Which is funny in two ways:Quote:

I won't fault anyone for buying the game, but don't bullshit me or anyone else by acting like buying it for the consoles doesn't cause any harm for the PC. That's how I see it anyway.
Stop enjoying this game. Stop buying this game. Activision is bad. IW is bad. Console gaming is bad.
Etc...

Lol.

Want to know what this website gave Modern Warfare 2? An 80%. 80%.Quote:
At lest you have your fellow writers and editors here to stroke your ego. Bravo, you just wrote a biased review and people congratulated you for it. This game has the best multiplayer on any console, and this sequel really is a major improvement from its predecessor. The have made levels larger and more fair and cut down on the endless grenade fests. Not to mention the whole perk system has been revamped to allow more addicting unlockables. If you want to write about politics, write for the BBC. If you want to write about video games,, I suggest you do it objectively.
Because, there are people who played the first one more just because it was a fast paced cluster fuck of 64 players, and they loved that. Then there were the people who just enjoyed the game play regardless of how many people were actually in a server. You can't say a game sucks because of their reckless decision to bone PC players. I got it for console because I enjoy the style of game play it brings and I feel they fixed a lot of balance issues with the first one. Overall I'm impressed with their work and I find it quite enjoyable. I'm not a fanboy, I couldn't give two shits. I just happen to like what they gave me. And other people, especially reviewers, who can over look the shitty end of the stick PC players got and look into the actual game play will probably say the same thing.
So far as multiplayer goes, those two things virtually go hand in hand. If you give us an inferior system (in this case, matchmaking) the actual gameplay goes downhill due to lag, host advantage, lack of customization, etc.Quote:
