The True Problem : Pc Sales are low bc of ppl Downloading the game online . A lot of PC game companies know this. It was better when it used to be harder to get a game online
 
Nobody can touch me in this game, they are going to take away all these things from the PC? Eff that, I'm not buying this game. Just because some people don't know about cg_FOV 80, and rate and fps commands is not my problem, this is what makes me better then them, and now when i reformat comps, i wont be able to get my sensitivity since there will be no console command, it will prob be a dumb slider bar so i am not wasting my money on this game. If there going to make it like this, they should allow people on PC to play against people on console since no more dedicated servers....
 
I'd just love it if people instead of flinging around random insults and so on targeted against CEOs/reps/etc of companies who obviously have no idea of what the PC gaming community wants would do something productive instead of just saying "I'm not gonna buy this game now, I'm just gonna download it instead".

If Infinity Ward isn't interested in the PC gaming market then take your money to another developer who actually wants to entertain us.

Do not pirate a game as a means of protest, it only gives these ignorant people an excuse to abandon PC gaming altogether. Instead find another game you like and buy that instead.

 
Wow that's a game killer for me, so I'm going to skip this game. I was hoping they'd have at least dedicated server support.
 
"We're, of course, watching this very carefully and paying attention to it,"

If your paying so much attention to it, then why don't you fix it? No dedicated servers? WTF is up with that. It pisses me off to no end that your implementing the match making service on PC's and I can almost guarantee I will not play the game online. Your also taking away console commands, lean and other features. I am not paying for this game, as I had planned to, and I might pirate it if I deem it worthy of my time where I could be playing other, better made games.

I hope your happy with yourselves. We PC gamers can be your best friends if you treat us right or your worst nightmare when you pull shit like this. Just because we play our games on a computer instead of some console doesn't mean we aren't gamers too. Get your heads out of your asses.
 
[citation][nom]nekko[/nom]this game is NOT fail and get over the dedicated servers.. Its still a great game...[/citation]

Apparently you haven't been a PC gamer very long.. this entire concept flies in the face of PC gaming. They're removing the very features that made the last COD:MW such a hit.

I'm voting with my wallet. Activision doesn't care about losing a couple million dollars? What a bunch of fiscal retards.
 
Forcing the online mode to be p2p only kills any competitive play for this game. It essentially renders it a single player game. One of the great features of cod4 was the online ladders. Removing console commands kills any effort to mod the game as well. I guess if you want a watered down shooter this is the game for you. I'm going to stick with L4D2 and older shooters for good online play.
 
I like to see dedicated servers and people I play against or with daily. I also like the admins I see on those same servers. The way it looks, that sense of community will be gone. When I play L4D I have never seen the same person twice. Is that how this game will be? I will pass.

Can someone suggest a game or a new one coming out that will be the equal of CoD4:MW or better? Battlefield 3 is not coming out till 2011, so anything soon?

NO!!! Tell me you are wrong! Please! and to suffer1337dude. Why did you put 1337 in your name. I am guessing you have no clue what it is and if you say you do, everyone can tell from your posts you're an idiot.

PC Gamers give plenty of reasons why they are complaining. Taking away a dedicated server takes away our right to make a choice. Personally I think a good ass kicking is what someone like me may need to improve my skills as a gamer so I'd rather not play with a bunch of loosers and I'd also like to be able to setup my own dedicated server so I can hookup 6 PCs in the same place on a lan so we can do some serious LAN parties. Not is better than shooting someone and hearing their frustration and then pay back! It's all good fun. They dumb down the console games to work with the controllers as in UT3. Heck even the name was dumbed down for consoles. DX10 was supposed to be a big leap and you are supposed buy Windows 7 for DX11 but who cares if no companies plan on making games to take advantage of the technology. PCs have always been the testing grounds for the latest and greatest technology which eventually gets into the consoles which are never really pushing technology except for the day of release and only the PS3 had really great technology due to the use of IBM's Cell Processor. Other than that PCs have caught and passed consoles but are not going to be making advances as fast as they used to since games were always the motivator for people to build new PCs.

Old school gamers like myself will always hate the new games that come out as they keep pulling out these great features. WE MADE these games and these companies popular and now they are screwing us over after all of our support. You don't play need for speed because of console gamers. We PC gamers made it #1. Same for Quake, Duke Nukem, Unreal, Doom. Now they are saying thanks but F you! I will support ANY company that makes a real PC game such as SimBin and I hope id Software too and Epic.
 
They are going where the money is. Cant blame them.
Consoles are the king when it comes to game sales and you cant run a company without making a profit.. well unless your GM or.. well you know.. anyway.. PC gamers need some sort of standard on games and hardware to make the PC a viable platform again.
I hate playing on a console.. but i also hate installing a game on pc.. jumping through hoops and getting software installed that i didnt ask for.
Meanwhile my son just puts the disk in his xbox360 and plays.. no setup issues, no video card driver updates.. no hassles...that really bugs me!
When the average consumer can buy a $300 PC at wall-mart take it home and play the latest PC games on it without hassles at hi res with good fps .. the PC will be a viable gaming platform.
Then the universe will collapse in on itself. :)
 
People saying it will kill competition.. WOW freaking spoiled little brats. I hate dedicated servers THEY killed any real type of fps community imo. I'm glad this game is going back to this type of host/join. And will diffently be it.

Oh back on the competition rogue spear had a great following with great competitions, ladders, tournaments.. People actually got to know each other, and know who the jackasses were. Even when they changed there names it wouldn't take much time to figure out who somebody was.

Not to mention I hate not being able to control a server unless I pay for one. Screw that.

Have you lost your mind? FPS competitions started dying when consoles started taking off.
 
You're nuts if you think fps competitions started dying cause of consoles. How the hell do you even figure that.

It's because it went to this dedicated server crap in the first place. No sense of community people come people go nobody cares, admins are rarely on, and unless you pay for servers or have a guild/clan control one you're shit out of luck.

Games were you can easily host your own server without a T1/T3 line have great competitions. AKA rogue spear it had a strong backing with great competition, and kept it for years. Till it got up to about the 6 year mark it really started dieing down. That's good for any fps game.

this "dedicated server crap" has been around for a long time. It hasn't gone to, it has came from. Quake 1 allowed dedicated servers if I remember correctly. I know Quake 2 dose. You don't need a T1/T3 to host a great competition. and you lack of sense of community with dedicated servers is your own fault. I have hosted servers for sometime and if I got the sense someone was cheating or acting in a way which prevented others from having fun playing the game we ganged up on them and forced them to leave. That was fun! All this technology on the xbox and PS3 came originally from PC gaming. I was using chat and voice chat years ago. They finally added to consoles. The thing about a PC is that you can take technology and combine them without waiting for sony or microsoft to enable that technology. kingnoobe should just be noobe
 
Improving experience? I think not... All I get is high pings. I thought I would atleast give this game a try but I seriously regret buying it.
 
Are people still trying to deny the truth? The only reason there is no dedicated server support for PC is because it's not worth it to the company, PC doesn't make much money for them thanks to pirating. Why spend money servicing pirates, why bother offering great support for a dying segment. Oh don't get me wrong, there are still a huge number of PC gamers, it's just that most of them pirate, so to the developers who only see $$$$ from the people who pay, the PC gaming sector looks very dead. You people should be thankful versions for PC are still being made, I remember how there was debate whether Take Two was going to bother with a PC release for GTA4. Again, why bother when most of it is going to be pirated and you can't make money from the release? All you get is a bunch of whinny pirates who demand support when they haven't paid crap. It's unfortunate for the honest people, but that's what happens when criminal activity takes over a community like PC Gaming, the innocent guy gets gunned down in the crossfire.
 
Modern Warfare 2

Increase Price by $10? Check

Go fuck yourself IW and Activision. You can take your bullshit statement and shove it up your ass.
 
Sometime in the future we'll get our simulation shooter....and then infinity ward will realize what they missed out on when they see people online 24/7. For now, im sure they'll all be too busy enjoying the new boat/car/motorcycle bought with the fat check they receive from the console sales.

As a purchaser of MW for the pc, i will not be purchasing MW2. Later infinity ward..u just lost another customer!
