Have what???

Since a large portion of veteran COD4 players have boycotted the game, it makes sense that there will be a relatively large number of casual players (usually noobs) that will populate the online community.

I wouldn't be suprised if these noobs are playing with their 360 pads on the PC, because the sight of a keyboard and mouse makes them fall into a coma.

cod was always more about MP than SP.. what will it last you for? 4? 6hrs? and then you will feel like you wasted 35quid... ;) i wont be buying it.. i will be "trying" it tho..
 
since when was it called steam works? ive always known it as steam!
any way wont be buying this crap as we all know its a pure console game, at its most purest form
 
face...


palm...

surely gabe newell [out of all people in the games industry] must realise that this game isnt going to work how it should


he might as well declare a HL3 & CS:S 2 double pack






then tell us there will be no dedicated servers
it may as well be a GFWL title and have XBOX360 Achievements

heck, whilst we are at it, lets remove keyboard and mouse functionality so that you have to use a pad for it!

essentially the steamworks thing is something that encourages user development
pretty strange considering third party mods are out of the window

what is their intention? get users to create maps, then sell them as DLC for the game?

Your attitude. It stinks. In the same way that a large percentage of the PC gamers who have hopped aboard this hate-mobile. You seem to think you offer something above and beyond a typical gamer. Not a chance.

Seriously, from what I've seen since this announcement your 'community' won't be missed.

The console & PC community are separate as far as gaming connectivity goes, so it makes no difference to the console community what happens to PC gaming so you would not understand the frustration anyway as your obviously happy with what is offered on the Consoles as far as server & player count support is concerned & is one of the very things that sets the communities apart.

Of course I understand why you're frustrated, it's just the way a lot of 'you' go about showing it. Does you no favours at all and, had you gone about it in a different way, perhaps you would have got what you wanted.

If I was in IW's shoes I certainly wouldn't be bullied in to doing what is being asked, especially HOW it is being asked. It's a backfire of epic proportions. There's a right way and a wrong way to go about doing things and unfortunately they've chosen the latter.

If you had come together in the way a community can (should) to resolve issues rather than just all jumping on the boycott bandwagon and posting crappy messages here, on IW's board and all over the internet who knows what would have happened instead.

What would you suggest?

Is not like were an organised group of people just randomers who liked the last game and are ****ed off about the new one lacking the fundamental feature that is dedicated servers.

Go back to the console forum?

Seriously whats with the hatred from console users? I have both a console and PC and dont feel the need to start arguments over the differences. All you're doing is showing that perhaps the age/intelligence of the average console user is incredibly low.

We're annoyed that they're ripped out the backbone of the game, and IW arent going to listen however we put the point across.

Maybe Hitler would have ended the war peaceably if the allies had asked nicely. :D

I will have a ponder and come back. :)

To be honest though, everyone knows how inaffective online petitions are - especially like the one used (two second sign up, no email/registration) and yet it was your first point of call! That in itself almost invalidates the whole thing or at worst undermines what you're trying to achieve. There's no REAL effort in it either; a link is banded around countless forums encouraging all to vent and moan about what has happened. The communities are way too segregated...you should have one place that leads on all of them, where communities as a whole sign up to and have a leader, or lead team to keep things focussed. You would soon become a force to be reckoned with I'm sure, but as it stands you are not and all you come off as is a group of elitist whiners who demand that games companies bend over backwards and do what you want BECAUSE YOU SAY SO. :)

Think about it. Think how much power you could have if you were all pulled under one umbrella. You could do so much more than anything that's out there at the moment.

Anyway, I'm rambling.
