I would appreciate(and allow it) if someone created a separate thread titled something like 'Why You Shouldn't Buy Modern Warfare 2'. Put all the points why the game/Activision/Infinity Ward should be ignored.

The reason for this is I feel those that want to complain are already hijacking this thread way too much. I understand your rage but you can't force everyone to agree with you and not to expect everyone not to play this game simply because you wont be doing so. By having that new thread you still give forumers the choice to view your side as well as allowing them space to discuss about this game if they wanted to.

Just don't bring the hate to this thread. No more flaming from here onwards please.

Requested by Mr. Frags

Please continue you discussion based on the topic title.

It'll be best if some of the forumers buying the PC version can give a unbiased review on what they think about the new multiplayer.

frags: Nvm continue with your points in this thread. Posts your list of points. Please don't bring this up in the existing Modern Warfare 2 thread.

Why you shouldnt buy MW2?

- IW and Activision have no respect for gamers. They have also exhibit lots of arrogance in the media. Lots of broken promise. Even console gamers are ignored on the request to reset the leader board and levels due to the early leak for consoles. Not only the PC gamers are ignored. This shows that Activision doesnt care about how good is the game actually,they just want your money and thats it.Then,they gonna pump out more sequels each year to get your money. Just like NFS series 1-2 years back, Shift have improved,though.

NOTE 1: Thread deleted by IW in IW forums.
NOTE 2: IW seems like deleting any threads that might affect their reputations,like no lean threads,dedicated server threads etc.

- IW's arrogance.PC gamers who ask about anything about IWNet are mostly ignored.If not,mostly short and ambiguous answers are given to PC gamers.

Best Buy Interview Transcript

- PC gamers are being treated as minority and dedicated server issue is completely ignored.

Link 1
Link 2

- Some of the PC DVD not working.

Link

- Bobby Kotick.Why is he here? This guy is pretty much the root of all these problems. He wants money,not making good innovative games.Franchise that could have annual sequels is the interest him the most.

Link

- MW2 is an overpriced game.RM220 at TSBTSB. 60USD on Steam,or worse 90USD on Steam Australia.This just further showed that Kotick is greedy for money.

Thats the price to pay for a 5 hour single player campaign game,with a mediocre multiplayer.Length of Spec Ops is unknown.

- IWNet and Host Migration turn off.

QUOTE
Just played some multiplayer had 80-120 ping. Could aim on people but this could be due to anti lag. Game is fast paced like cod4.. with improvements. graphics seem the same. im running on medium not sure what my fps is obviously. I have a 9600gt asus geforce. 2.6 dual core intel and 4gb of ram but running vista so yeah. only 4v4 at this stage not enough people online i guess.

I think the recoil isnt good enough to easy on full auto to nail some one. Sucks not having the lean function! Going to take a while to get used to.

game runs smooth. Ping isnt to bad considering. Host migration is a real turn off if u know what i mean. Guess it comes down to if u can live with it or not. At this stage host migration is the most annoying part


Source

NOTE: I'll add more on this when there is more information.Most Aussies should have been getting the game now.

- MW2 have no modding and no custom maps at all.This means that you are stuck with the same content on day 1,until you decided to buy some maps from Activision.

Source need to find.

- No dedicated servers.This means that gaming experience on MW2 will be more laggy compared to the dedicated server system used in CS,TF2,Battlefield etc.Also,the host will have an advantage over other players as the Host will have almost zero ping,while others are having 100+ ping.That means death of competitive gaming,as the host have an advantage over others.

Link

IW's reasoning for no dedicated servers.

- No lean in MW2,because "it's not balanced for lean". Lean is a feature in CoD since CoD1.

- No console access.

I think you're referring to the competitive community rather than the pc gamers in general .. not everyone plays this game seriously .. and they are the ones who need the ded servers + mods more than anything .

Why is it necessary to announce a filler for the void that Call of Duty will be leaving behind?

Also, Battlefield and Call of Duty are two VERY different game series which have little to nothing in common with one another. The only thing they do have in common is that they're both FPS' and they're set in the near future with modern day weapons and technology.

Aside from that, they play very differently.

Can't we all just ignore MW2 and be done with? There's no need to give free advertising to another game just to spite it.

Can't say they have big difference. Most competitive clans like FFF, JEDI, Bf.Nut came from BF2142/BF2 because CoD4 killed its community biggrin.gif

Although I agree that you don't have to advertise other game here. Just chillax bro smile.gif

It seems more like they are ignoring what the community ask completely.

Not just the competitive crowd.

9v9 is only for Ground War.Welcome aboard to Fail Boat.

Just show that this game is not for those who want to play MP.

More IWNet feedback.

QUOTE
Just installed the game. Went staight to multi player. It feels like an arcade console shoot em up to me. Its awful.

IWNet is basically the xbox/console game finder which after people connect it chooses a host. The best part is, if someone leaves, the game pauses while i chooses a new host.

IW, I waited, I stuck with you. I believed you. I hoped you'd get it right. I hoped you knew what you were doing.

You failed me. A long standing customer. I will never buy a game you make again unless you fix this mess.

Even if im never a fan of all those Battle Arena games like DotA and HoN,i do agree that DotA is way better than this.

This time around BFBC2 looks like a more ambitious game than MW2; in terms of multiplayer aspect. Cheaper than MW2, and has dedicated servers support. The choice is very ez for me; I can live without COD so long as there is an alternative to this game and BFBC2 is the next best thing if not a BETTER alternative.
