Modern Warfare 2

The Recon thing has no place here. You can't compare the two situations. Recon is simply visual and it's alright to have it come out later. However, you couldn't possible think that IW would hold out on a server browser just to release it later. I'm not saying you think that, paladin.

You're taking what I said to answer someone else's comment out of context. Paraphrasing: Warlord comment Bungie released recon because a small group kicked, screamed, and complained about not being able to unlock it. My answer was to his comment about a publisher giving in to small group. (Which they didn't) I suggest you process the information you read before you post about it.

H2V Editing Kit is a perfect example. What happened with the editor? Nothing.

And look how bad the game bombed.

Seriously. Halo 2 Vista would be as popular as Halo CE if they had a good editing kit.

And yet look at which game is still played.

Halo 2 Vista would have sold great if it wasn't a terrible port and vista exclusive.

That and better anti-cheat protection.

e: but this topic is about MW2, disregard this post!

IW is not going to compromise on the modding aspect of the argument. Blame the ESA not them.

[Rook]

Look at UT3 and Halo CE and Nox and Starcraft and EE and so many other games where the modding community has DRASTICALLY extended the life of a game.

hmm? Regular halo has much more people than CE to this day and there are no mods for that other than little piddly shit.

thread still full of mad kiddies

I will enjoy pirating this game when it's released if nothing is done about the current multiplayer state!

I don't care so much about the lack of editing tools, as I never really liked or saw that many good CoD4 mods/maps, the lack of a server browser and dedicated servers takes the thought of supporting the developers out of the picture. It's unfortunate because I'm sure I'd have no problems supporting the developers responsible for everything except the multiplayer interface.

Christ Paladin, if you don't care about this, why the fuck are you so angry at the people who do give a damn?

You can say "It's a god damn game" all you want, but last I checked gamers have every right to protest a decision they don't agree with. Call it immature all you want, this is about way more than Modern Warfare 2. Most PC gamers I know are terrified that what Activision/Infinity Ward are doing here will become a standard later on.

boom babe, exactly what i said.

it's setting a precedent that is worse for consumers anyway you slice it.
