Make sure to get CoD5 for PC if you're a casual gamer because every other server grants you 1000-5000 xp per kill, so it's easy to level up. If you're a hardcore gamer, it'd be best to get the game for consoles, since those require more than an hour or two to max out your level. But if you're a casual gamer, the PC version will be right up your ally.

Breaking stupid leveling systems and achievement systems is what open gaming/networking is all about.

If you don't like it, yeah, enjoy being a hardass, but in the meantime, I'll just enjoy the gameplay while you enjoy grinding XP for your M1 Carbean.

The best part is Achievement Box on TF2. You still have to grind, but you don't have to pretend to care.

It's not about grinding xp to get the next weapon, it's about your rank being representative of your time put in, and yet on the PC version it's 5k xp per kill so people are maxed out within an hour or two. It makes it so that things like leaderboards aren't even available in the game, and turns it into a "Nintendo-esque" online system (no leaderboards, getting bored of it after a couple of hours). Thankfully the 360 and PS3 version maintained their legit online play.

Wait..what?

Leaderboards and rankings are necessary to keep you from getting bored of a game?

I'm not even sure what to say to that. I don't know about you, but I play games to have fun, not to inflate some meaningless number beside my name so that I can feel special.

there jsut modded servers, there are plenty others not like it... anyways its a good thing having the option of playing in one of those kind of servers or not, if u want to just get all the guns right away and then be able to play the game the way it is meant to be played then u can, or if u want, you can grind

you do know there's a file in the PC version that you can modify to whatever rank you want, right? (at least in CoD 4, there was)

Leaderboards can drive you to keep playing and having fun while not making it all feel pointless. It's the reason Smash Bros Brawl online got boring after an hour or two. It's not necessarily playing TO increase that number. But that number certainly helps to increase the longevity and not make it feel pointless. The number makes it fun. :)

It's not necessarily playing TO increase that number. But that number certainly helps to increase the longevity and not make it feel pointless. The number makes it fun. :)

A sense of accomplishment is having a good KDR in CSS, pwning noobs, or matching up with gosu players. It's not having a big number next to your name that makes you look fancy. Putting time into a game is meaningless if you're not good at it. Likewise making ANY game imbalanced, i.e. forcing new players to put an inordinate amount of time into their software before they can become competitive, BREAKS games and makes the core gameplay faulty and requires players to spend an unreasonable amount of time just getting up to par. Thanks but no thanks. I want to have all of my options available to me every spawn from the minute I purchase the game. Why? Because that forces the game developers to actually think about game balance. Is there anything more constructive than ensuring that all players have a level playing field so that the only distinguishing factor is player skill? Please, gentlemen. Please. This crap (leveling systems in shooters) has to die. It's the worst part of MMOs and it shouldn't bleed into other genres. Some of us just want to have a Quake style deathmatch and have a fast paced bleedfest that is built around player skill and player movement, not the big BA sniper rifle you unlocked at level 55.

Cheaters are one thing. Mods are another. Custom content is another. Some rules were meant to be broken, others were not. Achievements are a waste of my time and energy and they were destined to be ripped to shreds and tossed aside so that they justly mean nothing. The real professional players shouldn't have to bend to ANYONE when they start a new game, they should simply be able to enter in and start pwning as God intended. Now cheats affect game balance. Did I indicate that I was against game balance? No, I indicated that I was for game balance. Cheating is creating an uneven playing field, which is what developers foremost and players secondly do when they create ridiculous leveling systems with unbalanced unlockables.

why the hell do people call World at War COD5 when the devs have made it clear it isnt? this isn't the first time this has happened with COD, or other games, not that hard folks.

this is NOT COD5. it isn't worthy of a COD4.5 in my books. COD5 will be ready when the real COD devs (Infinity Ward) are done with it.

No there should be a progression system like ranking so that you can work towards something not just pointlessly killing for 5 hours.

lol funny you should mention auto-aim, a program only available on PC. Console gamers can man it up and use real aiming but PC gamers need to invent these "auto aim" things and have programs like punkbuster to prevent the cheaters. Too many cheaters in PC games.

lol funny you should mention auto-aim, a program only available on PC. Console gamers can man it up and use real aiming but PC gamers need to invent these "auto aim" things and have programs like punkbuster to prevent the cheaters. Too many cheaters in PC games.

Yes, because cheating has never been attempted by console gamers. True fact. Look it up in your videogame manuals. PC gamers all cheat, and console gamers never cheat. Hey, wait. LoL funny you should mention console modding, a program that is only on consoles. PC gamers can man up and use real shooting but console gamers need to invent those "console mod" things and have Xbox Live mods to prevent the cheaters. Too many cheaters in console games. See what I just did there? Creating a program to deal with cheaters isn't impressive. Likewise having a fleet of employees and mods who police your games to ensure no one is cheating isn't impressive. It's just part of the natural progression towards stopping cheating. And it's pretty damn indicative of the fact that people cheat on all platforms, but they're often deterred by more effective and error-proof systems and are more frequently caught. And you REALLY missed the point about auto-aim. Like it needs to be said, people who aren't cheating don't use aimbotters. Whereas aim assist is the default on nearly every console shooter.

[QUOTE="death919"][QUOTE="BobHipJames"] Cheaters are one thing. Mods are another. Custom content is another. Some rules were meant to be broken, others were not. Achievements are a waste of my time and energy and they were destined to be ripped to shreds and tossed aside so that they justly mean nothing. The real professional players shouldn't have to bend to ANYONE when they start a new game, they should simply be able to enter in and start pwning as God intended. Now cheats affect game balance. Did I indicate that I was against game balance? No, I indicated that I was for game balance. Cheating is creating an uneven playing field, which is what developers foremost and players secondly do when they create ridiculous leveling systems with unbalanced unlockables.BobHipJames
No there should be a progression system like ranking so that you can work towards something not just pointlessly killing for 5 hours.

Working towards a number and a more extravagant icon? Would you stop already?

You're thinking about it too literally, there's alot more to it than a number/picture, although casual gamers like just skipping the ranking with their 5000xp per kill servers, they don't want to work towards unlocking more weapons. Which again helps support this thread, that CoD:WaW is for casual gamers on PC but the hardcore gamers go on 360/PS3 where they actually earn their ranks instead of cheating to earn the highest rank in a couple of hours.

cept this rank means nothing at all and all you did was just win a little star next to your name.:roll:

Its alot more than a star next to your name, it's your rank and represents how much of the challenges you did.

And then those "casual gamers" get bored because they have nothing to work for and so they quit. Why does this matter so much to you? Not everyone who plays COD WaW goes on these types of servers. Most people that I've seen work for their rank.

This thread isn't about hacking in PC games this thread is about people cheating to increase their rank in CoD5 for PC, that type of stuff kills games just like it killed Diablo 2.

It's not about being good it's about having fun. And taking out the rank system makes the game less fun.

Less fun for who? I don't really play for ranks... I play for fun. Ranks can usualy be acheived by anyone who puts enough time... so there's nothing fun in that.

i had cod4 installed on 2 computers and for the 2nd pc i didn't bother transfering the rank-file. it's because there's no point; rank is meaningless to me and to most players, the weapons make little difference in hardcore deathmatch anyway (my fav mode). i upgraded my pc recently and reinstalled cod4, again, i didn't bother trying to transfer rank, everyone knows me on my fav server anyway so noone will actually look at it. as for the weapons, it takes far less time to unlock the weapons themselves than their respective camouflages (camouflages mean nothing to gameplay, except maybe the gold weapons are easier to spot because of the shine)

but noone looks at the rank. it's not like MMOs ("omg his items and the way he plays - ebay account!!!" or "rank 12 gladiator - this guy's a hardcore pvper"). i have NEVER seen anyone even refer to rank on any server i've played.

So you are telling the reason you play this game is not to enjoy it and have fun by exhanging bullets to another, but to meaingly grind and gain virtual ranks?

I don't know about you, but I remember back in the days before meaningless achievements, trophies and gamerscores, when people played video games for FUN, rather than some stupid carrot on a stick scheme employed by the game's developer. The stupid stuff like XP grinding in CoD pisses me off to no end. It's just an artificial way of giving your game longevity.
