No dedicated servers for PC version MW2!

I can see it now. They get low sales (and high piracy) on the PC version compared to MW1, and then the developers declare that PC Gaming is dead and drop the platform all together.

bad bad bad. Why don't PC gamers boycott this like they did for L4D2? Silenthps

from now on I will not buy a single Activision / Infinity Ward game.. *checks that they have no good games coming* ...yep, like I was saying, no IW/Acti games for me until they remove this **** console online from the PC version!

Activision is really trying to **** over PC gamers, huh?

most of you guys have 360 or PS3 but I only have me beloved PC , I just bought a new Graphics card to keep up with my love MW2 F*** you IW and Avtvision , We don't want to have console XP if we want that we can simply buy console Dark_prince123

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

That's what I was thinking. Finding ways to combat piracy is extremely difficult, and maybe they don't even want to bother with it.

ii think most of the people who were with the COD series from the begining have moved on given the depths the series has sunk toThebettertwin

Won't bother me none (I'm getting it for the X-360), but still sorry for PC Gamers.

[QUOTE="GulliversTravel"]You can quote me that theyll be charging us for PC maps too:|

GulliversTravel

Someone posted this one the MW2 board:

• IW has control of the game

• IWnet servers will host multiplayer

• DLC will be a charged item for PC

• No dedicated servers

• Matchmaking system used to play with similarly ranked players

• VAC instead of PB

• Semi-capable password servers

• Semi-capable ad-hoc servers

• Competitive play is dead

• MW2 mods would not be possible

• Full integration into Steam

If true then:

Yeah...don't think I will be getting this game now.

bad bad bad. Why don't PC gamers boycott this like they did for L4D2? Silenthps

we should this actually deserves a boycott

i refuse to buy this game altough i will still get to enjoy the SP at least. i was gonna buy it to until they pull some crap like this.

[QUOTE="Silenthps"]bad bad bad. Why don't PC gamers boycott this like they did for L4D2? johnny27

Agreed, this is ridiculous. I hate how console gaming is affecting the PC more and more. At least there's still Blizzard.

I found the first mw to be meh anyway, so I can't say Im bothered.

And people kept bashing me for hating on Activision and IW for MW2...

Not that I care because I don't play these sort of games, but how does not having a dedicated server combat piracy?

This is a stupid move on their part. This game is missing essential pc game components. i don't want some matchmaking crap.

Isn't it the same engine though, just some new models and maps thrown in. And I think they would had gone with GFWL if they just wanted to copy the 360 version. I think this is just to stop pirates from using private servers and most of all to create the infrastructure for selling DLC.ManicAce

That would depend on what they mean by dedicated server, as Vandalvideo said.

Activision is smart they know PC version won't be selling any close to wut consoles will so why not giving them garbage? lol hermitsSyferonik

That is BS. The main reason I like CoD4 was because of the freeze tag mod. IW is taking away mods now? Well screw you IW, you dam motherf**kers.

THANK GOD, finally a decent PC game with no dead or crappy/furry/private infested servers to filter through. Cyber space is getting expensive, time to evolve PC Dev's.

Thanks TC, you just ruined my morning. This was going to be a 1-day purchase for me. Not anymore.

I doubt it. COD 4 is the best seller and most played fps of our times, and the price of the game was really high in the first 18 months after their launchship -in my country is still at 49.95 € in retail shops-. Ironically, games with tons of free contents made by modders and even free weekend trials in the multiplayer as Ureal Tournament III and Crysis Wars are under the 20 $ barrier.

Consolization of the franchise is officially complete. I was going to get it on consoles anyway. Which one though, i'm not sure.

Are PC gamers really surprised? Developers have been treating you like second class citizens for years now. Wake up and realize where the industry is headed. Consoles is where the cash is, so that's where they go. PC gaming isn't dead, but it's becoming a shell of its former self.

Never mind Activision is annoying everyone these days, the problem must be PC :roll:

Last I checked console developers are interested in expanding into PC gaming, odd behaviour considering they are already established on the only platform that apparently matters.

Acceptance is the first step.
