Digg.com - Modern Warfare 2 boycott.

Review from the telegraph..

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolo...-Duty-Modern-Warfare-2-video-game-review.html

Not a PC gamer I see. Balanced review? I think not.

More accurately "not a minority PC gamer who thinks they're more relevant than they actually are".

Sorry to be the bearer of grim news but I'm willing to bet money this game will sell bucketloads on all platforms with eSports peons stamping their feet at the sidelines.

Here is a full playthrough/walkthrough for the SP, 4 hours total.... and the same old boring game.

Its not balanced for review.

I'm not sure if I should laugh (probably) or cry.

links to a few router manufacturers (its not even a how to) because to host you have to configure your router to forward ports (because who in their right minds is going to enable UPnP). But wait this is meant to make it easier for the casual gamer to play because clicking "join" was to hard.

What percentage of them will even know what IP address their router is on and what percentage of the ones that do will screw up their config ?

 

[JonDavies]

If you start a private game the host can kick/ban

The eSports peons that actually put COD on the map. I'm pretty sure most COD players today haven't played vCOD, at least not the multiplayer.

Those were the days

Dailyfail trying to cause a ****storm, shock horror. The MPs were just saying how these violent games should be sold to minors. There are already laws to prevent such thing.

So meh.

Some screenshots of PC version are starting to emerge. In this one, you can clearly see one of the PC exclusive features which was mentioned during the best buy chat.

That special feature is mouse support btw. Wooo! Lucky us.

Already seeing reports of matches failing because the host dropped and it could not migrate host.

 

[Tripnologist]

Already seeing reports for matches failing becuase the host dropped and it could not migrate host.

Half of me hopes this new system is alright. The other half of me hopes that it is absolutely horrible and causes a huge backlash.

Hmm, well before it just ended the game no matter what

 

[RDM]

There are already laws to prevent such thing.

So meh.

Wasn't there a news item the other week saying that the law to prevent such a thing is actually invalid and so until the law is amended it is actually legal to sell 18 cert items to minors?

I seen some video's on Youtube and it does look good. It does make me want to buy it, but i just can't see the point in buying a game without dedicated servers and how they treated the pc gaming community. Lets hope it turns out to be a kick in the face to them.
