Pleasantly surprised MW2 Online isn't the poo everyone is making it out to be

No thanks this is getting random and extremely offtopic. Its funny how people say "nah ill by bad company 2 instead" or something.

Well i dont like vehicles in fps so i wont be playing any mp fps with vehicles,

In Battlefield 2 you could find servers which locked vehicles and therefore was strictly an infantry match. This was possible because of dedicated servers where the host could choose the match settings very freely, something you couldn't do in MW2 I might add.

No Dedicated Servers = a lot of people pissed. Thats the only reason. It is not a bad game by any means it just gets bashed for that reason alone.

If the trend ends up being games that actually get me interested in gaming and keep me up all hours of the night for the first time in years, then yes. I don't care how crippling it is compared to what I was used to. If I enjoy playing it, I think it is money well spent. Plague27

And the most stupidest post of the day goes too...

I told them that its retarded and silly to bash a game simply because it lacks features.Plague27

Hey let's all go buy "Big Rigs". Sure it lacks some features, but it's a great game once you get past all it's downfalls!Plague27

I had a little laugh about this. I just got the game because im bored as and well needed something to bum around for abit inbetween Borderlands and Dragonage lol.

If you hate server browsers and other PC features you should just quit PC gaming and buy a console. I have no interest in trying my luck with the game unless there's a demo. MW2 sets a bad precedent, it's more expensive and has less, actually no PC specific features at all, I don't understand any PC gamer who supports it.ManicAce

They are usually multi platform players. I cant get my head around any long time PC gamer disliking server browsers. Community and mod support are the reason games stick around so long on the PC.

Yeah it is so freaking large. 32v32 or 75v75 has nothing on 9x9.

I don't know about me being destined for consoles. I have a PS3 but find it merely okay as a system. The 360 is pretty boring and the Wii is.... well. It may as well not exist. I have been keeping my rig up to date since about 1995. In that time, I think I have played everything. My favorite game I have right now is ARMA2. It may not be OFP, but it tries in all the right ways. Is it complex? Yes. Does it appeal to PC gamer's on the level of infinite possibilities? Yes. Did it sell? No. So then I ask, how much longer will the series be around? The most complex games ever to hit the pc were all of my favorite space sims- Freespace, independence war, and the X series. What has happened to the space genre? It died. My true love is the deep and satisfying experiences that have been the hallmark of the PC platform for ages (although Grim Fandango wasn't complex and still seems to be adored by most of us). However, just because a game doesn't fit in to the common mold, it doesn't mean I won't touch it. Whether that means features, content, or gameplay- I will try anything. Take, for instance, shattered horizon. It lacks a TON of content and is very, very basic. Just like modern warfare 2, however, it delivers incredibly engaging gameplay that is unique to its own title and both fun and fulfilling. I seriously think everyone is just finding a title to sacrifice and it happens to be MW2. There is no rage like a nerd rage and game developers know that gamers cry the loudest and still play their games. All I have been saying since the beginning was that the game is excellent- despite its seemingly endless platform shortfalls. Yet, when you play it, you don't notice any of it and enjoy the game on its own merit. So, without further ado, I am going to hit up some more MW2 multiplayer before I settle down with Stalker Shadow of Oblivion for the rest of the day.Plague27
