Can't see them backtracking and adding dedi's now, disappointed is not the word.

And to think COD on the Xbox was one of the reasons I came back to PC gaming....to play it properly. :(
 
Just found this thread.....cannot beleive what i'm reading.
OFDR sucked arrrrrssse cos of its lack of dedicated servers. Now COD? Jesus the game was born to be played on dedicated servers.
How many folk will be happy will repeated playing of SP cos they can't find/organise anyone with hardware good enough to host a MP game?
Unbelievably stupid.....and pre-order cancelled.
My son and step-son have both pre-ordered this for xbox360, will they suffer too?
 
so like the failed left4dead2 boycott, im willing to bet on release people will still buy it stating '' only for the sp campaign!!! '' ;)
 
I wonder how many people will buy the game without no knowledge of the new limitations and then be disappointed / complain.

Well XBox will be as XBox has always been, gaming via Live, with up to 8 people (or whateveR) with a crappy gamepad with crappy graphics.

XBox has never had COD dedicated servers, it's always been matchmaking.
 
couldnt believe this. looked at a youtube video to find out there was no dedi servers..

signed the petition and 46813 have currently signed which means £1.4m in lost sales

off to a terrible start.

Oh, ok thanks for that mate.

Was hoping to tell them they'd wasted their money :p
 
To be honest it'll still be a good SP experience on Xbox and the pad works quite well, the vibration gives a good feel to most of the weapons. As long as they aren't omfghardcore gamers I'm sure they'll love MW2 and while the graphics won't be as pin sharp as the PC variant, I'm sure IW is used to programming for the 360 now and will have squeezed every last drop of performace out of it. There should be up to 18 players per game as well btw, which isn't bad at all for a console game.

Cancelled my pre-order too :(

The petition is pointless, I'm sure I read that it they could not implement dedi server support now even if they wanted to? Signed it anyway :p
 
I'm not really sure whether I'm happy about this. I think I am somewhat, as I'm glad that the community are actually making a dent on Activision. When you think of ~50,000 people, it's not that many, but when you think of the amount of revenue they've lost, it does make a difference.

I'd love Infinity Ward to make a public announcement regarding this whole incident, but I'm very glad that the community is speaking up. I can't believe that it's effected Activision's shares though, unbelievable.
