Official COD6 MW2 thread

that is the case, instead of dedicated servers, letting you pick where you want to play. this POS checks your stats, your ping, and connects you to what it deems will give you the best playing experience based upon a bunch of stats.

meaning.
no clan. no familiars you can shoot in the face. just what "the man" (iw) wants you to play.


i'm still against their MP setup, but curiosity is eating away at me and im about to blow this gift card i got from my birthday on this. technically i'm not giving IW "MY" money, so i deem it ok.

/hypocritical? lulz

Honestly you guys need to stop complaining about this server BS....
Seriously who cares?

This game still has the BEST campaign of all time, along with the BEST multiplayer ever in my opinion.

yeah, no ps3 MP until friday. it feels like they didn't even bother to test the PS3 version.

I didn't pre-order the game, Game Stop had 20 people waiting outside. Target = 0. Beat the game in about 7 hrs; which I've heard it's supposed to take 5-10 hrs. I thought the story was good, and I heard about the controversial levels when they showed up on digg and youtube. I'm actually interested that a game developer took it to this level; while GTA makes it a parody that you can kill random people on the street (who are unarmed), when it's situated in a FPS; it's shameful. (Which I disagree)

And to the comment that said "its just pixels". The ARMY game was used to recruit soldiers; they invested money for tournaments. And if you take a look at the unarmed planes / droids; the person in charge is sitting in a room, with essentially a joystick and a screen. The argument can be said that there is a removed physically relationship; which allows the person behind the screen to have no feeling. It's an instant trigger; no second thoughts.

Uh, you haven't actually played the game have you? You can still play with your friends, you can still have private games and there is still a place for clans.

In fact I would go so far as to say that this was a good move by Infinity Ward. It has really streamlined the multiplayer process and will cut down on cheating and piracy and make it a hell of a lot easier to get the game updated.

...and that's why the matchmaking is BROKEN right now on the ps3 right?

I'm talking about the PC version which was changed significantly from previous versions. This has nothing to do with the PS3 which has more or less the same multiplayer system as previous versions.

We the PC users, didn't need our multiplayer matchmaking streamlined. Even in it's primitive COD4 format, it worked quite well.

Furthermore, there's no more assurance of piracy prevention (removal of dedicated servers probably assured that many PC users would merely pirate the game instead of buying it).

Cheating happened to a very limited extent before, since punkbuster was available on most servers. It will of course still be present in MW2.

Finally, releasing the game for console gamers a week ahead of the PC version assured that it will be heavily pirated, since you can get it off the net right now.

All versions, including the pc version, were released yesterday...

I think what he meant was, the console versions have been playing online for the past week or so. I haven't heard about anyone getting their hands on the PC version before release.

You don't have to kill the civilians, You can just shoot cops. Lets the Russian terrorists do the dirty work if it bothers you.

That's exactly what I did. I couldn't shoot those poor innocent fucking pixels. No . . . really though, I couldn't shoot 'em.

I did happen to notice most of the female victims were nearly the same shape, hair color, even clothing style.

Do you take yourself seriously when you say things like this?

havent played the game, the anti dedicated server fearmongering has gotten to me.

This game still has the BEST campaign of all time, along with the BEST multiplayer ever in my opinion.

6hr campaign is the best of all time? i rated it below cod4s single player, and close to WaWs single player campaign.

and as far as the dedicated servers go, its only 1 of a laundry list of downgrades from previous cod games, and yet they hiked the price up? it all comes down to IW and Activision being $$ hungry and therefore cutting corners and attempting to drag more cash out of everyones hands.

i wont buy it until they fix some things.

SP campaign is so short. Pretty lame. PC version is a total fail already - Hacks surfaced 4 hours after launch:
