Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer 9v9 maximum

But guys, it's been declared as most anticipated!!!

sad, it's one of these rare time where I think we should unite against this.

Personally, I will take my 60$ and invest it completly into pc-only games to support the market. I already bought Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the ripper and still life 2 with 40$ of that 60$. Sherlock last me 15 hours and I am 5 hours into still life 2. Now that some great value and I will probably buy Killing floor or torchlight with the remaining 20$. I suggest everyone who wanted to buy cod6 to do that. It's not like there is a shortage of good pc games at the moment and you might find some jewels with your 60$

That was quite funny to read, the IW guys are such a bunch of douchebags. PC has custom stuff like mouse control :lol: Thank God I only care about the campaign.

Go Treyarch! Make another real PC COD!

Baranga

rofl they actually said that!?! Its not custom...its a requirement. And dont pretend you dont know IW, youve made PC games before!

Jesus, but 9x9? Thats just stupid.

I also don't see how limiting the game to 9v9 makes it more appealing... You could do it before (I play 6v6 games of WAW all the time).

PC has no common provider of matchmaking like on xbox360, so to have match making on the PC we had to create IW.Net, kind of similar to the match making networks created for RTS games on PC. This was not a trivial undertaking, although it's understandable that these days consumers may take match match making for granted

we dont take it for granted. We have experienced it, it sucks.

In MP, a new game mode we have is Demolition. I'd have to say its one of my personal favorites as one team's objective is to detonate two targets. It gets really heavy when one target is detonated and all the focus is shifted to one target, leading to all kinds of crazy moments you'd see in only in MW2

Thats funny, because thats been my favorite game mode in Day of Defeat: Source for years! HACKS!

PC Question... What will the max amount of players per map be for PC multiplayer on IW.net
01:32 Vince-IW
9v9

9x9? In these days of 32-player minimums, youre giving us 18? Uuuuggggh....

How are PC gaming clans going to uphold their clan rules in the IW-net system? Are you going to give admin rights to gaming rooms so that admins can Kick or Ban players who refuse to follow clan rules? For example, {MRoA} servers prohibit racial comments from guest and/or clan members...
01:53 Vince-IW
No idea yet. In response to the PC clan question: Private matches are a way for players to easily play with their friends and apply whatever House Rules they want. You can not kick players from Ranked matches. If language is a problem you can easily mute players.


Hooray, no support for simple things such as banning. Good work, IW

02:25 DudezTY
Since we can not kick people in ranked matches, how will we stop hackers who get past VAC?
02:25 Mackey-IW
Our goal is to ban hackers from the game.

Way to dodge the question...

02:54 Moriarte
Ignoring IW.net, is the PC version a direct port of the console version?
02:55 Mackey-IW
No, PC has custom stuff like mouse control, text chat in game, and graphics settings.

Wow...just, wow.

So while server lists work perfect for PCs (and we know this because how long have we been using them?) they don't always work as well for consoles (not saying they can't just that they usually don't). Plus matchmaking goes along with consoles more which is supposd to be relaxing. Just pressing "A" and the game finding a match for me while i am half way asleep on a couch goes right along with what consoles do best... sifting through a sever list on a tv screen 10 ft to 15 ft away is not. But yeah for PCs matchmaking just doesn't work (i guess it could, but server lists work so well on them and developers are used to it).

I do bet that IW had to cut out all the dedicated servers because they had to work on IW.net which was unnecessary at best. "Well since we spent 6 months working on Crap.net we now have no time to put in the dedicated server fuctionality.... oh well PC gamers don't want them anyway... we know this because we are not douchebags....."

exactly! and thats the whole issue...they said IW.net was made specifically for PC to make the gameplay better.

They have yet to tell us how, outside of "its more fair" or "its better".

but the fact remains, we did not want it, and we did not ask for it. IW.net has its own agenda here.

Furthermore, I have never heard of anyone complain about the issues IW claims plague the CoD 4 community.

Believe what you want, but the BestBuy chat with IW took place last night, and the transcript is posted on the BestBuy Forums.

If users are really frustrated then there are current tools available to modified original MW for playthrough.

I can't believe I ended up using sarcasm on IW, I used to respect them :( still they're way better than Treyarch any day of the week but if this goes on...by the time they reach the next CoD I'll avoid any of their games.DanielDust

Same here, i am still buying the game for the compaign but i bet it will be kinda like cod WaW. :(

I'm convinced IW has lost their damn mind.Bane_v2

[QUOTE="coolmonkeykid"]i hope to god no one buys thistony2077ca

I can see the problem, but I'm not worried because in the short term the game will flop in PC and it will take severe consequences in the IW wallets. I can't see how MW 2 could repeat the 2.5 -3 million sales of COD 4, or maintain the interest of the community once most of the players interested in the campaign speed run the 8-hour-lasting linear story mode, because the mp looks abysmal.

In fact I doubt that things can be worse to IW share in the fps online market, with BC 2 coming in two months and BF2, Brink, Doom 4, Crysis 2 and Battlefield 3 already in development. Before than the COD 4 success the most played fps were CS and BF2; there's too many incoming competence in the next months to ignore that COD 4 will probably be aoutranked by any of those titles.

And this will be fine, because the IWNET decisions are hurting the PC market, so is legit to expect a letdown in the fans response.

[QUOTE="Too_tight_shoes"]

With all these things cut out and "downgraded" it makes you wonder what went on through their minds when they decided to increase the price from £29.99 to £34.99?!

they didn't cut out anything. MW2 (and maybe future CoD games) is a true multiplaform game: all platforms play the same and thus cost the same. so those "PC only" features are not supposed to be within the game package to begin with.

next stop, army of DLCs.

[...] They became like all the other developers. They dont carea about the pc or polish, they care about money, even if the game sold trillions on pc then still they wouldnt care because game developers have the habit to improve stuff they left wrong in their previous game and forget to maintain all those things that they actually done right.dakan45

[QUOTE="darkfox101"]"No, PC has custom stuff like mouse control, text chat in game, and graphics settings." CUSTOM MOUSE CONTROL"!?! This is ground breaking. naval

Lmao yeah this comment cracked me up, along with the one where, when asked how they would deal with hackers who got passed VAC "our goal is to ban hackers". Yes well done IW, that really makes the hackers run for the hills.

Oh my God, IW are trying to take us back to the stone age.

I support piracy of this game. I've been hearing stuff and the torrenting community is getting very raucous, trying to get a leaked version and pirate 1 million copies. I can only applaud them and encourage them. By this point, I really don't want Infinity Ward making games for PC anymore. EA is my new salvation. k0r3aN_pR1d3

Personally, I think that is the wrong course of action to take. It will only add fuel to the fire, and make both this and other developers all the more determined to include even more restrictive measures in their next games. Two wrongs won't make things right. By increasing the number of torrents, you are playing directly into their hands to use those figures to justify their next move.

If you want to send a message to the devs, simply don't buy the game, and don't pirate it. That way they can't blame piracy for lost sales (as they usually do).

Agreed, no game is uncrackable. All it takes is one person to upload it on to the net and then the cracking groups will go to work.

Why would they limit the game so much? Why restrict it to 9v9 when you could simply have the best of both worlds?

lean removed? sensing some fail here. and not just that. the no ded servers, not being able to kick people in ranked games etc. whats happened to IW???

I'm half expecting IW to make an annoucment the day before realse that says "APRIL FOOLS DAY!"

But then I relize this is reality

I wonder if the price will ever go down, just like how it hasn't with Call of Duty 4.

You do know the console version is identical right?

Well they were dumb enough to remove dedicated, this dont suprise me.

"The game is not balanced for lean."

Does this make any sense at all?? At... all?

Well they were dumb enough to remove dedicated, this dont suprise me.

what they are trying to say is lean is overpowered because a player can spam lean and other players may lag out becauses the pings are so bad
