argh well nvm .. you just seem very anti console gamer-ish to me .. or maybe this whole anti IW thing is gone out of hand ... meh ..

Nah ... console versions cost a bomb .. and mouse>joypads ...

arent you supposed to force your believes down people neck form the "why shouldnt you buy mw2: thread?

Cool bro. Hope to hear some reviews from you soon.

Btw, just a few questions:
1. Can you play on LAN?
2. Are you able to change your IGN on the fly? Or are you stuck with a "gamertag" just like in consoles?
3. NAT. Is it easy to config? Or is IW talking trash about catering the "casual gamers".
4. Latency -- how laggy is it?
5. Oh, and most importantly, can you unlock the game? Some ppl have to wait until the 13th.

EDIT
6. I heard that you can't alt-tab while in-game (ctrl alt del only). Can you confirm that?

^ I seriously OMG at the questions above...

i mean like.... seriously???????????? possibilities on that?

I always thought MP stuffs are always better on PC than on consoles (trust me, been on PS3 MPs and got fed up with it, n now PC version is turning to that?)

gawd no...

Cheese, you're not the gatekeeper of this thread. This thread is about the PC version of the game, emphasis on game. He has every right to post here about it as you do in the console thread.

Jas, stop baiting him. Yes, you have every right to be here, but don't antagonize the ppl here please.

Now, both of you play nice before I send you both on holiday.

whoa...ign gave it 9.5 but reader reviews 1.3 only  out of 34 reviews. all hated the mp.

See this ~ my friend join MP~ his ping is the lowest as in the most lag

brothers, then which version is better? PS3 or PC version, since so many comment already, i want to get PS3 but im sucks at joystick, if PC online is lag also potong stim too

his the only one ~ lol pity
he complain even can join the game..cant even move haha

So it's pretty obvious now, BFBC2 for me~

totally dissapointed PC's MP
i tot play at midnight the ping will better..
but still same!!!
 

Valve\Steam\Steamapps\Common\Modern Warfare 2\players \config_mp.cfg

// Max amount of frames shown per second
seta com_maxfps "85"

This will allow you to have higher fsp in the game. Change to i higher value then the default (85)

// Joins a server with maximum X amount of ping
seta com_maxping "800"

No more hight ping server
IWNET forces you to join server with ping as high as 800 ms!!!! Change this to "200" and you will not be forced into server with higher ping then 200ms


// Max packets, by putting it higher your ping will be a lot more stable
seta cl_maxpackets "30"

This setting is about the amount of packages sent to other clients.If you have high bandwidth you should set the default value to 100 or more = less laggy server (ONLY FOR PPL WITH GOOD UPLOAD SPEED)

800 ping rofl what were they even smoking?

A round trip around the world takes half that time. Were they looking to prevent matchmaking from occuring between Earth and Mars?

Cool. That means you can say hi to 80 fov. =D

Day 2 of Modern Warfare 2 and the first hacks are already up for downloads



I've never been this happy ever since the IWnet bullshit.

No lean fire, no dedicated server...
IW has screwed up big time on this one. (on the PC side at least cause console gamers are forced to pay for extra content)

It's barely worth your money. But if you want to try the arcadish multi player, then go ahead, even though with crappy 100+ ping (which is playable).
