IW.Net would have cost FAR more than implementing DS, since DS were already part of the game code afaik.

Could it be a move by IW to gain control over gameplay and create new business oppurtunitys once they find a model? Possibly charging a service similar to xbox live?
 
The place I pre-ordered from then cancelled has sent it anyway from the looks of it.

I have contacted them already, it will be going straight back.

Mostly just Markk or some variation of that. I was in the french clan VRB for most of my uo life till they got banned for added a banned player by accident :/

I played UO in a clan. We were top of the Euro ClanBase ladder for Domination and TDM for a good 3-4 months or so. Then we got bored of the game and quit :)

We were useless and SD as we were all run and gun type players.
 
Few of the guys in my clan who didn't actually cancel their pre-orders say their orders have shipped.
Wonder how it'll be for them considering the devs said in the bestbuy chat that they weren't even finished the game yet.
 
Been watching a livestream for about 30 mins now. This guy got his pre-order early as he works in a shop apparently. Not the PC version but I saw enough to know that IW are doing PC gamers a massive favour by upsetting us as it looks really poor graphically & the designs look very similar to COD4.

Only thing much different is a new blood effect when you get shot rest of it looks like a gameplay cross between COD4 & Gears Of War but with some very bland uninspired looking maps!

I'm pretty sure that from Activisions and IW's own financial results it sold least on PC.

But im pretty plastered at the moment so that might not be the case, regardless though x360 is the leading platform regarding sales so thats always gonna factor into their decisions.

Personally do i think IW's decisions are backward yes, but its tough times out there and what ever brings in the most revenue is gonna be the most likely solution.

But how is losing pc sales going to bring in more revenue?
 
I think he means what is more cost- effective. Ie. their profit margins for console games are clearly greater on consoles than PC therefore they have focussed their efforts there.

At the same time they have lied/ dodged/ done whatever possible to try and make the pc crowd go out and buy an inferior product (many ESSENTIAL things missing) compared to those games ALREADY on the market.
