That's exactly my point. Hacking is gonna happen regardless of what system you had, but if PC gamers had dedicated servers they'd be able to ban people instantly, instead of waiting weeks for VAC to ban them (if they catch them in the first place).GiantMuffin

Sorry, kind of sounded like you were implying they haxx0red to prove a point.

Yeah the "hack/cheat free games" supposedly provided by IWnet is just a bunch of vapid PR BS. One step forward and two steps back. In the short term there is nothing whatsoever anyone can do to avoid or get rid of hackers and griefers. Other than to just leave the game. For griefers there's no long term solution either.

[QUOTE="KungfuKitten"]

[QUOTE="Hickamie14"]As a PC and console gamer, really don't understand why PC gamers would refrain from buying MW2 just because it doesn't have dedicated servers. With that said, I'm glad PC guys figured out how to mod MW2:)

GiantMuffin

I doubt anyone is refraining from buying MW2 just because it doesn't have dedicated servers.

Are you serious? Go on IW forums and see for yourself. Thats PRECISELY the reason nobody wants it on PC. There are TONS of people who aren't getting MW2 because of that, PC owners who did get the game are now complaining about how bad the matchmaking is and hackers and people who are injecting viruses to other players through matches. I'd bet more money that atleast 75% of the people who did buy MW2 on PC are regretting their purchase.

Imagine if IW took away STANDARD features from the console versions, like clan tags, or trophies/achievements, or rumble, etc. Dedicated servers is a standard feature of PC FPS' and there's literally no reason for it to have been taken away other than cutting costs or laziness.

There are like 20 other great reasons not to buy this game.
edit: Ok apparently it is a really big deal. I think the other things wrong with activision/mw2 are also a really big deal, but i understand that the loss of dedicated servers hit them instantly. Maybe that is why this is currently the number one reason.

At the time of the reveal there were people pledging that they canceled their preorders in droves on Infinity Ward's forums, claiming they had clans that had been hosting multiple dedicated servers since COD1 and United Offensive. I'd prefer to say they were in until they heard the announcement. To doubt that anyone canceled those preorders specifically because of dedicated servers is to be insanely naive.

Ah, I was hoping PC gamers didn't buy the game, resulting in low sales which would have forced ACTIVISION and IW to make their next game on PC much, much better.

I guess the PC audience couldn't boycott it?:(

Then again, I will wait till next year before I really scrutinize the sales of this game. I don't care about sales, but I do care if anyone can stand up to the Evil Empire, Activision.

Were you against EA last gen? Or are you just so cool to be hating (X big publisher) this gen? Spare us. Please king...please use your top level bottom level wordsmithing smite too, master of wordsmithing.

Poor sales may give the opposite effect, and there simply won't be a PC version next time.

What's the difference? Infinity Wards sold out a long time ago and have already gave up on PC gamers, the very same people who helped jumpstart the first Call of Duty.

Thats so true.

Maybe it's the ... what is an english expression for this? ... The one thing that made people say 'this is it'. There are like 20 other great reasons not to buy this game.

No this is the big thing. The camel's back wasn't anywhere near the breaking point before this straw the size of a tree came crashing down.

Apparently that was a false positive reported by a certain anti virus program. I'm not sure of all the details though.

Bandwagon fallacy much? Assassin's Creed was popular, and it sucked. I want a week of my life back. BTW, COD4 sucked too. COD2 sucked too. And Oblivion sucked ass, yet it's probably the most popular and definitely the best rated RPG of all time. Meanwhile, no one plays my favorite FPS, Red Orchestra. I don't play it because it's unpopular, I play it in spite of it. The server populations in NA definitely don't make me happy with that game. No one plays Fallout 1 any more, but I beat that and loved it. There isn't a correlation between popularity and love/hate, but isn't that the point?

Excuse me? Where did I state I dislike the game? True, I don't plan on buying it as I already have my multiplayer fix with Team Fortress 2, and I am not spending £35 on a 4 hour campaign. But I never said anything about hating the game.

I was just stating that the people who continue to debate the same things about MW2 would love to read that.

+1. I probably would have bought the game had they allowed dedicated servers. I can forgive boring/short campaigns and 10 dollars if I can play on my clan's ded.

Wow you know it's hilarious, it was because people were against EA last gen that they finally cut the crap and started making quality games this gen. If you think it's just a thing to be *cool* then I don't know what to say. When people talk with their actions and wallets it affects companies more than words could ever do. EA has learned this lesson very well.
