Modern Warfare 2

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.

And those an vary depending on where you play a game (or so I can hope >_> that sucks if it's really that bad). But still that doesn't affect the console what so ever so therefore, as far as the reviewer can be concerned, game play is fine. And even still, because the IW.net is utter shit is a separate concern entirely to the game play and they need to fix that.

I did that when I first played it and that's how I formulated my opinion of the game.

And that's your own opinion.

See that's the thing though. This generation of consoles is the one getting the short end of the stick when it comes to online gaming. You pay $50 for something PC gets for free, your options are more limited, and you are GUARANTEED lag. Just because consoles are used to taking it doesn't make it right.

But you see, you're steering away from what I'm trying to get at. The point I'm trying to make is that the game play itself, I feel, was rather successful and much more balanced than in COD4 and overall I think it is a much more entertaining game (in the multilayer aspect anyway) and that matter has nothing to do with the lack of dedi support and the 9v9 cap. The 9v9 cap just removes players enjoyment of, as I said before, a fast paced cluster fuck. That's just your own personal choice not to want to get it because it lacks that feature. I'm not saying any of their choices were smart.

And what fucking idiot decided to take out LAN play? That is actually THE WORST thing they did IMO. Removing LAN is like removing split-screen.

It's dumb and stupid and gay and homosexual and queer and fucked up and shit.

From what I've seen so far from playing the game was a lackluster SP story, solid SP gameplay, and zero ability to have a good multiplayer experience when I'm forced to play stuff that I don't want to. The multiplayer was somewhat fun, but not fun enough.

:facepalm:

Nevermind. You seem to be missing what I'm driving at.

Heh, I just found BF:BC2 was on pre-order. Thought about getting it on my 360.

Then on their website I saw on their twitter... the xbox 360 will use dedicated severs along with pc. Pre-ordering the limited edition of this now, cod6 is nice but I can't pass up still being able to have my dedicated severs on something that will actually be able to run better than an 8600gt. Plus the ps3 beta will already feature 24 people, so I can imagine this might support bigger games.

I was simply addressing the game, not your comment on how some guy decides not to buy the game because he can't be so close to somebody else in a server to anally fuck them.

[PenGuin1362]

Indeed you were. Misunderstood that last comment, and that is your own opinion.

So I went and picked up my copy today, threw the disk in, and get "Modern Warfare 2 cannot be installed yet, because it is not yet released"

I Have the fucking disk. I want my fucking game.
