Vekkinho Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 I played MW(1) and yes it's a good casual "killing time" game... I know MW fans are gonna hate me because of saying this but I really feel the game is a waste. Maps are beautiful but what's the point if you sprint all the time and shoot everything that moves?! I never had a chance to enjoy it's eye candy, unlike STALKER! So I think I'll pass! Just my 2 cents, don't hate me 'cause of it! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Deigs Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Pity about the no dedictated server thing for the PC version. I know a virtual army of Call of Duty lifers that is in up-roar about PC gamers being left out in the cold. It's a trend now that X-Box and PS3 games are now being lazily ported to the PC, rather then the other way around. But I hope you have a great time with it, I will be buying this on PS3 for sure. :) 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 161 Squadron Australia's DCS Community

Eddie Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Will be giving it a miss for the moment. No way I'm prepared to pay £30 for a game with multiplayer based on matchmaking/P2P, maybe 5 years ago but not these days. Pity really, I was quite looking forward to it. I might pick it up once in appears in the bargain bins for the single player. But for now I'm just waiting for BF:BC2.
joey45 Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 You should see the thread on it over at BIS [ofp/arma]. No dedi on the PC version no sale.... IW have lost alot of their PC sales due to no dedi server and they're shaming them for turning their backs on PC gaming [where it all bagan for them]. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Grimes Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 It MIGHT be a rent for me on the PS3. Anything more than that is strictly not happening. I've got PC shooters to enjoy myself with online play. Bring on the Bad Company 2. I trust Dice at making proper large scale online shooters more-so than anyone else. Every Battlefield game since 1942 has been evidence to this fact. Hell... I even trust the full conversion mods at making a great experience.

-fox- Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) Boycotting! Main reasons being the price hike and all the arrogance towards PC-gamers. Also a bit disgusted by their decision to include the controversial airport level (I am not one to complain about gory scenes or violence in media in general but being part of a massacre on civilians and the way it's done seems very wrong to me). Also trying to avoid buying any other Activision game full price in an honest attempt to not support Mr. Kotick. Dragon Age and Stalker: Call of Pripyat will keep me busy anyway.

RedTiger Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) Can anyone confirm if the blasted infintite respawning enemies are still in MW2? I hated that about the first one. It made playing the campaign on anything other than the medium difficulty just completely unfun. The dedicated server change doesn't bother me a bit. Yet again the vocal minority screams bloody murder. Dedicated servers might be great for the hardcore clans and such, however if you just want to play a game here and there against other players and don't care for all that, match making is an improvement. MW2 is total run and gun anyway. EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I understand the lament for the loss of a dedicated server list. This has been a staple in FPS for years. However, the way MW2 does it will at worst be no different for me and at best an improvement. Plus, sorry if no one likes this, but this is THE way multiplayer will be done in the future on all but the niche titles. Servers professionally with chat lobby/matchmaking. Its already happened and FPS won't be any different. Edited November 10, 2009 by RedTiger
Grimes Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I agree with you that the likelyhood of matchmaking in games is going to become more and more favorable. That said, it is my hope that the system becomes abit of a hybrid offering the best of both worlds. IMO the majority of those complaining about the loss of dedicated servers are complaining about what that loss causes. A loss of the ingame console, mods, massive amounts of players, and control. A great matchmaking service allows you to connect to a dedicated server yourself or search for a game that has a majority of people in your skill level. The lack of control is something that bothers me. Its why I loath Halo 3 multiplayer. In it you get a broad option of what you want to play, they match you up with other people (sometimes WAY better than you or experienced players who reset their stats.... oh and three 9 year olds) Then the game picks a map with a set of rules to play on, if people dont like it they can veto it (with NO indication of what the other option is). Matchmaking on a small scale really is a game of russian roulette. As more players get added to the mix and great teamwork becomes less important, then match making gets the appearance of being more "fair." That said, even titles with dedicated servers AND matchmaking (Left 4 Dead) sometimes get it wrong. Its a game of 4v4 where teamwork is essential, and to be truthfull the match making is hit and miss at times, I'm not even sure if they internally rank your skill level in finding a match or not. Let it be known you still have complete control over what type of game to play in L4D, so the at least did an epic job with that. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

LMFAO Moriarte: Ignoring IW.net, is the PC version a direct port of the console version? Mackey-IW: No, because you play it on a PC. :megalol: Come on! He might as well have really said that! Reading the rest of that Q&A, I can see why there's so much uproar. I don't mind people not being able to tweak the game. I happen to like it when everyone has to play by the same mechanics unless its some huge community-wide understanding that it is better to include/exclude some feature, which is rare. The big killer for me....65 degree FOV!? What am I, a mole!? 70 degrees is bad enough. 65 sucks. Why is the FOV so small on the consoles? Don't they practically require an HD TV which without exception, is WIDE SCREEN? Edited November 10, 2009 by RedTiger 2

RedTiger Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Think what OfP/ArmA/2 would be like without the tools... No interest in ArmA, never played the original OfP and I'm waiting for the demo for the second one. I guess I wasn't expecting a whole pile of suck out of MW2. The first one seemed ok to me as-is.
Grimes Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) Think what OfP/ArmA/2 would be like without the tools... They wouldn't have one of the best mod communities in gaming. At least for Arma, I can't speak for OFP as I havnt played it yet. But from what I know of it, it ALSO lacks dedicated servers. "No, PC has custom stuff like mouse control"This game will totally rock. It has mouse control! /facepalm @RedTiger. Don't count out the ability to slightly mod gameplay. You'd be surprised at how different people can make a game. Look at Arma or most Valve games, they can all have server side mods which don't require the user to download an entire mod package before even starting their game. If custom items, gameplay mechanics, or maps are needed before joining than usually the game automatically downloads that content to the user. Most of the time the special mods or even map selection in the server are stated in metadata server tags or in the server name itself. Its remarkably user-friendly when it comes to identifying which servers are running anything special. Just look at... Its a serverside mod, requires no extra download, and entirely different form of gaming entertainment.

Zulu Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Honestly this sucks so much, Here in South Africa we have a pretty big gaming community with COD being the most played but on South African Only servers hosted in South Africa because of our terrible broadband connectivity but now its impossible for us to play, I see people are complaining that they will have 100 ping well us we will probably have to settle with something over 400, To INVENT an Airplane is Nothing.
