I must admit though strife has a point, while "host quit" is a major annoyance, for a console game COD4 had a fantastic match making system that 9 times out of 10 delivered a flawless experience up to the 18 player cap. I'm not saying that its perfect or a match for dedicated servers but for a console game it was pretty good.

lag and poor reg are much harder to notice on a console with sticks and auto aim.
 
I don't really know what to do now. I know I would still enjoy it more with mouse/keyboard.. but I love Halo, so I might just get it on the xbox while I have a Gold sub still goin.

Why do you think there will be cheating? You can play through steam and so VAC will prevent cheats, which is better than punkbuster IMO.

Having thought about it there was never an announcement by evenbalance that they were making PB for MW2. So...... even if a decicated server is implemented it will come without PB or you'll be waiting a few months for PB to be added. /fail

There is no reason why the server needs PB and cannot run with VAC
 
In the shack news interview "Robert Bowling: We have host migration now, which is awesome, because the host leaves, the game resumes, and you don't miss anything."

Wow how truly awesome that is!

Instead of a continuous and uninterrupted game we now get 3 second pauses every few minutes when the host quits!

Excellent new feature tbh!

FREAKING SWEET!!!

exactly.

i will certainly not be buying this game.

they really do get worse and worse every single time. COD:UO is still my favorite game of all time.

a lot of gamers will just download it for the SP now... Great marketing. :p

:rolleyes: Yeah, and it's those very 'gamers' that have brought this around. They download the game, hack it, pirate it (whatever) and it's a sale lost to IW. They have to protect their investment and if that's at the cost of allowing dedicated servers and losing a few of the more hardcore gamers then so be it. In reality it's no huge loss to them.

Whatever the number of sales lost/names on this petition you can bet your bottom dollar that the number of pirated/downloaded copies outweighed it for CoD4 and MW2 - easy.

PC gaming has been on it's way out for a fair few years now. Sad, but true. And the 'community' are partly to blame. These people want EVERYTHING; games for nothing and the best, most reliable way of playing online.

It's all about MONEY...how to stop losing it and how to make more of it.
 
If multiplayer is worth my time then I will buy it...otherwise not....

If MW2 is crapola I won't buy it.
 
I'm listening to that webcast again and I really can't believe how Rob Bowling seems to think that they're doing PC gamers a favour to make it more accessible to us.

Because choosing a low ping server from a list of thousands is too hard for us :rolleyes:

Except they have shafted those that are guarenteed not to pirate the game up the rear. No CD key = no playing online. GG

And its not like you can buy a mod chip for an xbox or PS3 is it? :rolleyes:
