Believe it or not MW2 outsold its predecessor in sales in the first week making it the most sucessfull pc version. Yes i am talking about the pc version, i guess the boycott was an epic fail. But it amazes me how those pc forums dont resemble the reallity of the pc fanbase.

Anyway... long story short, we gonna get plenty cod games on the pc like mw3 and IW has just turned into another developer that focuses on consoles and makes money on the pc like the devil.

So hate it or love it, boycott it or not, get ready for more cod games on the pc ;)

Only about 200000 people signed the petition. How many units of the game were sold? Even if all of them did not buy the game it still would have broken records

This. Most people didn't care about the $60 price tag or lack of dedicated servers, or didn't even know about them. Hence the reason why message boards across the internet have been getting flooded with people asking why their online gameplay is so laggy, why they have to connect to new hosts mid-match, etc.

The problem with the boycott was that not enough people knew about it or even why it was being boycotted.

I'm sure at least 10-20% of those boycotters that have signed the petition have bought the game.

:shock: What all those things supose to mean? The game did not flop on the pc like you said, end of story. No matter how you bash it and people rate it terrible etc,etc and everyone said its not worth getting etc,etc. Still the game rocked in sales, this just proves that this forum is not a trustworthy source of what the pc fanbase likes.

Dakan, you are probably one of the most annoying trolls on these forums.

Also I'd like to see the ACTUAL sale records, I don't want to see a "news post" about it. I can make a news post and tell people it's acurate because I wrote it.

well this isn't the only occasion that you have REPOSTED info we all know about, but the fact that your arguments are always based on something so weak that it makes me angry to read your posts.

It sold poorly compared to the 360 and even PS3 versions. That makes it somewhat of a flop.

Most gamers in general never visit message boards so I don't see how this news, assuming that it's true and not more PR gibberish, is an indictment against anyone here who refuses to buy a neutered FPS at an inflated price.

Sadly i am 23, what you didnt know that cod games are very popular among "casual" adult pc gamers....thats right, casual not some hardcore gamers that play DnD rpgs and rts since they were 12. So i guess that explains why cod games are so popular on pc. Because the minority of gamers are casual gamers. I am sure that here there will be used the old: "pc gamers are better than that" But i thought you wanted more gamers to start playing on pc, what happened to that? Now pc gaming is for hardcore gamers only? :lol:

Lurk more man. The whole reason i was against MW2 was because if it was successful it would show to other companies that they can release crap ports for the PC without any repercussions. So now most developers wont put any effort into making a good PC game, thye will just give us a console game with mouse and keyboard support.

Few years ago i was at your situation, but the thing is that Publichers do whatever they want in order to make money. In other words if IW and Activision believe that acting like every other game developer/publicher and lowering the pc version quality is a good thing for sales....why wouldnt they? Pc gamers are gonna buy it anyway, so why wouldnt they? Everyobody is neglecting the quality of the pc version or their multiplatform game. Its not like if we stop buying them, that will change. They will only ditch the pc version. So no way to change this, we just have to learn to accept it, like i do!!

Actually, yeah, if people stopped buying them they would have to change or go out of business. That's pretty much how economics work.

EVERYONE is doing that, OPF2 did the exact same thing. No lean no dedicated servers. All the developers treat the pc version like crap and i alwats used to say that but no one cared. Its not like we can do something about it. We cant ask them politetly to improve the quality of the pc version. Game developers are keep on lowering the port quality of the pc version. IW has just joined the party. We cant change anything on that matter, maybe try to buy bad company 2 but i dont think that will change anything either. Worst case scenario they stop making games for the pc. Its more profitable to simple not develop because the games dont sell, than improve the quality of the product when the money are already rolling in. We just cant do anything about and everyone is doing the same thing :(

So pretty much you are saying that you are one of the mindless mass that will roll over to publishers because you dont think there isnt anything you can do to make them release a quality game? You said and quoted yourself that the PC version of MW2 sold more and faster than any of the console versions. IW sees this and it knows that the PC market is huge. If everyone on PC didnt buy the game that wouldnt make them drop the PC market altogether, they would be forced to release what we wanted because we know what we want to pay for. I am not going to learn to accept it and pay for a half a**ed port.

All multiplats are halfed finished ports. They are not gonna improve the quality unless they actually have definitive proof that the game will do amazingly well in the pc market. If everyone didnt buy the game on the pc, they would ditch the pc version. it serves them better to discontinue the support of the pc platform instead of spending resources to make a high quality pc version of the sequel of a gmae that did not do well well on pc then they released it. Long story short EVERYONE does that, not only IW, they just joined in. If mw2 did not do well then they wouldnt release mw3 on pc. Trust me no one will bother to port the game well on pc hoping it will give em more sales.

We just cant do anything about and everyone is doing the same thing :(dakan45

But everybody is not doing the same thing: Dedicated Servers for AvP. Although it's kind of disappointing that something PC gamers have enjoyed for the past 10+ years now merits its own press release. Sad, sad, sad...

This makes no SENSE! The PC market made the most sales. How can a company like IW ignore the amount of income that they will be getting from there? Also, not everyone does that, Bioware does not, Blizzard does not, Valve does not, Indie developers are becoming more and more popular. These are all developers that care about their fanbase and strive to make their games worth while to play.

Yeah 2 developers against all the rest, its good to know taht avp will ahvd dx11 and dedicated servers, i hope the game is equally good since i was tracking it from the beginning, also its good to know that bad company 2 will have lean and dedicated servers but that wont change things like "no dedicated servers for rage" and the most other gamedevelopers that go in the same boat.. 90% of the multiplatforms i played the last 2 years were console focused and cheap ports. I think the situation is getting worse and not better.

Believe it or not MW2 outsold its predecessor in sales in the first week making it the most sucessfull pc version. Yes i am talking about the pc version, i guess the boycott was an epic fail. But it amazes me how those pc forums dont resemble the reallity of the pc fanbase.

Anyway... long story short, we gonna get plenty cod games on the pc like mw3 and IW has just turned into another developer that focuses on consoles and makes money on the pc like the devil.

So hate it or love it, boycott it or not, get ready for more cod games on the pc ;)

dakan45


Congratz matey , support a rubbish port , make fun of the community and keep being a mindless fanzombie.And to answer your question why it doesnt resemble the reality of the fanbase let me give you 2 reasons :

1st.There are people like you , reactionary , diehard users who buy the game.

2nd.Most of the pc users arent interested in/cant have access to forums , community websites etc , hence the misinformation.(aka they got drifted by the hype)

your tone and sarcasm of your post disgust me

Ehh, bioware games have no need of dedicated servers and they are pretty console focused the last few years. Only dragon age is not console focuses but it does have terrible optimazation. Blizzard and valve release one game every now and then, they dont release games games all the time. As for indie developers....well they are independant, so ofcourse they will be dedicated servers sicne they dont depend on anything to provide those things.

Oh ya, and the boycott was not an epic fail. Other developers are using it to their advantage by advertising the features that they are leaving in, like dedicated servers or lean. This shows that some developers do listen to what the fans want.

1st.There are people like you , reactionary , diehard users who buy the game.

2nd.Most of the pc users arent interested in/cant have access to forums , community websites etc , hence the misinformation.(aka they got drifted by the hype)

your tone and sarcasm of your post disgust me

I dont like your tone of hate too, all you proved is that more and more people are like me and less like you the so called "hardcore pc gamers"

[QUOTE="Iantheone"]This makes no SENSE! The PC market made the most sales. How can a company like IW ignore the amount of income that they will be getting from there? Also, not everyone does that, Bioware does not, Blizzard does not, Valve does not, Indie developers are becoming more and more popular. These are all developers that care about their fanbase and strive to make their games worth while to play. dakan45
Ehh, bioware games have no need of dedicated servers and they are pretty console focused the last few years. Only dragon age is not console focuses but it does have terrible optimazation. Blizzard and valve release one game every now and then, they dont release games games all the time. As for indie developers....well they are independant, so ofcourse they will be dedicated servers sicne they dont depend on anything to provide those things.

Lol...

1st.Why are they console focused?

2nd.Why DA:O has terrible optimisation?

3rd.The argument about Blizzard and Valve is stupid and incoherent ; It doesnt matter when they release their games but how the sales do.

Yeah 2 developers against all the rest, its good to know taht avp will ahvd dx11 and dedicated servers, i hope the game is equally good since i was tracking it from the beginning, also its good to know that bad company 2 will have lean and dedicated servers but that wont change things like "no dedicated servers for rage" and the most other gamedevelopers that go in the same boat.. 90% of the multiplatforms i played the last 2 years were console focused and cheap ports. I think the situation is getting worse and not better.dakan45

I agree that the situation is indeed getting worse but that doesn't mean I have to accept it and it certainly doesn't mean I will support it, especially at a jacked up price. By purchasing these hackneyed ports PC gamers are simply shooting themselves in the foot and I will simply never understand that.

Oh ya, and the boycott was not an epic fail. Other developers are using it to their advantage by advertising the features that they are leaving in, like dedicated servers or lean. This shows that some developers do listen to what the fans want.Iantheone
Boycotting= fail, internet arguments that can point out obvious faults and make other developers to listen and fix those problems= "Possible" You can make excuses on the situation But. the truth is that they merely taking advantage of the situation. If there is gonna be lean and dedicated servers, that good, if not i cant say i really care since the game is gonna be the same anyway.

My whole argument is not about dedicated servers. Those companies that i listed care about what PC gamers want and they have given it to them. There is a reason why Valve and Blizzard only have to release 1 game every now and again. As for optimisation, that doesnt matter so much. I will excuse some companies if the optimization is bad because it is hard to do that with a PC game since everyones computer is different. Also later on they will fix it, or the community will fix it.

[QUOTE="dakan45"]

Believe it or not MW2 outsold its predecessor in sales in the first week making it the most sucessfull pc version. Yes i am talking about the pc version, i guess the boycott was an epic fail. But it amazes me how those pc forums dont resemble the reallity of the pc fanbase.

Anyway... long story short, we gonna get plenty cod games on the pc like mw3 and IW has just turned into another developer that focuses on consoles and makes money on the pc like the devil.

So hate it or love it, boycott it or not, get ready for more cod games on the pc ;)

Congratz matey , support a rubbish port , make fun of the community and keep being a mindless fanzombie.And to answer your question why it doesnt resemble the reality of the fanbase let me give you 2 reasons :

1st.There are people like you , reactionary , diehard users who buy the game.

2nd.Most of the pc users arent interested in/cant have access to forums , community websites etc , hence the misinformation.(aka they got drifted by the hype)

I dont like your tone of hate too, all you proved is that more and more people are like me and less like you the so called "hardcore pc gamers"

Prove .. right...

Let me tell you something , to prove needs a logical sentence ;

Your response ignored my 2 points and went on to predicative remarks , gg

Actually the opposite is true. If you want something to be done and changed you have to act on it. ACT! Not sit there and complain at them. Do something to make them notice you.

1) you telling me jade empire and mass effect are not console focused? 2)For those dated and i mean dated graphics, the requirements are showing its an optimized game? Mass effect looked and run much better. Its bioware starting to neglecting the pc version from optimazation factor. I guess we cant include the port factor because its not a port. We all know they could make much better graphics/optimization for the pc version but they didnt. Because it wont be a sales factor. 3) Sales wise valve is good but they sell recycled hl2 games and l4d, they are no better than IW :lol: Also its STILL a small studio after all those earnings. Blizzard is printing money with wow so theyre is no point at making games more often.

Good to see IW publishes PC sales.Many Developers are moving away from PC due to lower sales. I hope DeadSpace 2 and EA sports games come to PC. Will be buying MW2 soon but i will miss dedicated servers.Too bad i think IW should have gone with dedicated servers.

1) Well, JE and ME were published by MS , so p\obviously they would be console focussed. Me is moe of action rpg rather than console focussed

2) It doesn't has dated graphics, tell me a name that looks quite better than DA :O in top down view (and runs nicely on all kinds of rig) . It runs nicely on even quite old hardwares , so how is it badly optimised

3) games Valve made from 2006, Ep 2, L4D (new IP ) , Portal (new IP) , TF 2 ( new game by Valve) and what has IW made till now - CoD , CoD and more CoD, so how are they same ?
