Why do people complain about mw2 on pc?

A friend of mine recently bought mw2 for his computer and we both sat down and played the game for the good portion of the day he'd installed and it was awesome to play. I just don't see why people have made such a big fuss over all the 'problems' that the pc version of the game has. We also tried out the multiplayer component and it was brilliant fun. There wasn't any lag at all and most of all there weren't any cheaters. Another thing that people were complaining about was the matchmaking or the lack of it. I definitely enjoyed the multiplayer and though i had some trouble adjusting from cod waw it was still great to play even though the server we were playing on was full of people above rank 30. The other thing that there were complains about was the fact that it costs what was it, 10 dollars more than the console versions? The pc version of the game is by far superior in terms of graphics AND controls in comparison the ps3 version just looks washed out and really bland and my console experience with it was nowhere near as fun as it was on pc due to the hindered console controls. The difference between the two versions of the game that I played, in terms of graphics and controls was definitely enough to justify the extra cost. Another thing too, we didn't happen to run into any hackers at all. So then could anyone tell me what the big issue was with the game? I'm really curious to find out because so far I've only had a positive experience with the game.

Hmm, let's see. Infinity Ward stabbed the PC gaming community in the back.

The game is a console port.
No dedicated servers.
Online play is laggy.
No modding.
They raised the price because they are greedy twits.

I could keep going...

How is it a console port? It looks brilliant and runs fantastically and i didn't run into any lag at all when i played it online but i will agree with you on the subject of modding that it should have been allowed.

this has been covered a million times already just do a search

The game can be very laggy at times, and I often have a lot of host problems. If anyone denies those two problems, they probably haven't played enough. Actually, if you haven't run into any hackers... I KNOW you haven't played enough.

You got lucky.

There is no difference between the PS3 version and the PC version, other than graphics, oh yeah and text chat!

no lean

huge part of the cod series on pc

It's not that it's more expensive than the console versions, it's the fact that it costs the same as the console versions. PC games have been $50 for a long time, and I don't see any reason to spend an extra $10 for an updated Modern Warfare 1 experience, let alone the first $50. The lack of dedicated servers and mods irks me. But it's the lack of a "lean" control that put the nail in the coffin for me.

Also, please separate your post into paragraphs, it was very hard to read.

i have no problems, bugs or lag with the pc version and all that crap like dedicated servers. The game just sucks outright anyway

Good thing i still keep this in my account, just for some epic lulz. Of course after looking at it again my reaction is: I dont really care about the game, if you are having fun with the game than kudos to you, but people trying to defend the game and justify the price are just being silly.

I wish I could sig that image just to make threads like this easier to answer to. It captures my problem with MW2 perfectly.

The excel table sits perfectly.-CheeseEater-

Don't know if it was mentioned, but I found the campaign horrible.monkeymoose5000

Well if Modern Warafre 2 had legs, Infinity Ward literally chooped them off brutally with an axe and just left Modern Warfare 2 to bleed out and suffer. The game is just downright crippled on the pc having lack of options and even no LAN! To newbies Modern Warfare 2 would be fine and to me its ok but me to and to the vetrans and seasoned players, Modern Warfare 2 is just ridiculiously tweaked and could've been so much more.

You may not feel anything bad about it today or tommorow but soon you're gonna start feeling some frustrations to the multiplayer, believe me.

It was so ridiculous when Infinity Ward was interviewed for such outrages, they said the pc versionw ill have special features like mouse controls, grahics setting and etc! No im not joking and even if i was it would be the saddest vido gaming joke ever. Would you believe Infinity Ward said such a ridiculous thing!?! and everybody who interviewed Infinity Ward and read or heard the interview got into more of an outrage! Oh such moments back then.

the game is great when I bought it , but now I see the problems if I see the host migration screen it makes me remember the BSOD really I regret saying that MW 2 is ok , most of the time when host migration appears either it reset my score to 0 or kicks me out like this one what the hell is command client overflow or sometimes its just kicks me and say : game lobby closed !!! when I am the host I feel bad for the other players cuz it will be like this: really I am sad that I supported IW, the game is great ( and steam must do something about hackers yesterday i was playing againsta guy with 70 rank and he must prestiged like 7 times but he plays like a stupid n00b he must did a cheat to rank up that fast !! ) I guess am gonna play it till BF:BC 2 comes Dark_prince123

That's a problem IW created. Hackers could normally be kicked and banned by the Host but since there is no dedicated servers we are playing on Infinity Ward's server rules and those rules say we can't kick or ban anyone.

Singleplayer is way too short, more expensive, and too consolish
