Modern Warfare 2 shock: No servers or mods for PC version!

WarhammerTX · Oct 19, 2009

78465 and counting ==$ 4,707,900.00 in possible lost revenue

MadClown · Oct 20, 2009

This is actually IW's fault, the only wrong doing Activision did was charge a little extra for it, IW actually didn't want to make this for PC, maybe they're doing this because they dont want to make PC games in the future.

Just going back to UK upload speeds yeah.

I've just looked at the prices if i wanted a faster internet connection.

Man we are buggered for playing MW2 in the uk ! By far the biggest & one of the fastest ISP over here is virgin media.

Well to get a 1.5Mb upload speed with them you have to go with their fastest 50mb connection & thats gunna set you back £38 a month :eek:

Ok wouldnt be so bad but even 1.5Mb upload still isnt nearly fast enough to host a propper multi player game on MW2. Prob be ok for 3 a side max :shadedshu

On my 768 Kb/s DSL I can host 12 player matches of cod4 on shitboxlive without everyone lagging, im sure 1.5Mb can do close to 16, but then why should you, thats what dedicated servers are for, oh wait.:shadedshu

Ok my guess at 6 players being about the max on a 1.5Mb upload was abit overly pessimistic. But still there be no more 50 player games not hosted in the uk anyway.

I just checked and the petition is going up by 1-3 every second.

What was the number that got valves attention? 65k? 75? Lets hope they notice this.

A light at the end of the tunnel? Or still the same incoming train?

fourzerotwo: Definitely made a big wave, and the response will not be ignored. I'll ensure everyone at IW sees the petitions and responses to it.

hopefully that means that this stuff wont get ignored. Or they will just stop the petitions from being created and then ignore us completely.

It works fine for me every time. No pop ups or anything. Maybe you should scan for malware.

Everyone trashed Treyarch but I always felt they were a better developer. Well guess what. They proved me right. :laugh:

Well you may not like the era but it was a far better game than MW. It did everything MW did plus so much more.

They were trashed for reasons they had no control over. COD3 which had a 6 MONTH development time! Basically they were handed a lump of clay and told to build a bridge in 30 seconds. With the time they had I thought they did a bang up job.

mastrdrver · Oct 20, 2009

The reason I'm upset about not having dedicated servers:

Modern Warfare was the first COD game I got. I used to play game online, but that was back when dial-up was the norm and you had to call your friend's house to play. It was ok at best. When I started playing COD4 online with DSL, this was worlds different from what I've seen my brother-in-law play with his 360 or anything I had previously experienced with a pc. My favorite part about it was that I could go to the same server and play with the same group of people I've never seen or meet in real life. It is really the reason I ended up with the community (not clan) that I'm in now and have been for about 2 years. We have one WaW server and when there is no public around, about 4 to 6 of us will get in to the server and play just knifes or just pistols. Its really fun and give the game a change when its been out so long. I've played WaW and COD4 online multiple times with my brother-in-laws 360. He has DSL for a internet connection, but the game play just isn't the same. It feels slower and less entertaining and energetic (ever played 15v15 War on WaW with two good sides? Its nuts but exhilarating). I prefer much more to play online on the pc than any console any day of the week.

Yea I totally agree as well as your thoughts on WaW. I think they have also supported WaW a lot more than IW has with Cod:4

Its a great game. Not as good as UO but what COD since then was?

I disagree. MW was better than WaW.

And they had more than 6 months to develop cod3. It was in development before 2 was even released.

And which screws PC gamers over more, not having a dedicated server, or flat out not releasing the game on the platform at all?

Sorry, IW may be headed down the drain, but Treyarch has already been in the sewer for a while.

Agreed.

joinmeindeath417 · Oct 20, 2009

I feel WaW was more of a nostalgic feel for obvious reasons and felt great especially the Russian story (the part where your running through burning buildings...man excited).

With Modern Warfare i felt like it had a really big Hollywood feel. (mainly cause they made it all up).

Thats just my opinion now back to on topic.

I don't think this will put IW down the drain honestly to them it's a small number of people who that they are concerned about Consoles are what they care about. Like i said that many people signed a petition but wait until the game comes out and who holds true to not buying it.

Its 81K now but this is not suprising to me, I didn't expect it but its not suprising at all, many developers more and more are giving PC gamers the good ol bitch slap nowadays, so it should have been expected something was wrong(even though it shouldn't be that way)
