CoD:MW2 - No more dedicated servers

The release date is still the 10th for everyone.

The price I can live with considering I'm already purchasing console games at $60.

 

I think the biggest issue that I have is that not only will this decrease the life of the game considerably, but IW can decide at anytime that it's not profitable for them to run servers anymore and shut it down altogether. Hopefully at some point via patch they will get some sense in their heads and include ded. servers AND mods!

 

Anybody seen a video which one of the missions in a single player of MW2 is being a terrorist and shooting down innocent civilians at an airport?

Haha, yeah. Sick.

 

spoiler!!!
saw it. i personally don't find it sick but i can see why it makes people cringe.
you don't HAVE to shoot, you have a choice. imo if you're sick at this, then gta, postal series would have you go nuts.

highlight to read

 

meh, im gonna order borderlands, this is a terrible mistake for iw to make, TERRIBLE, because like other games that host the servers, well serverside, you lose choices, and everything else, anyone who is content of vanilla gaming obviously has not played that game very much, sure vanilla is fun but it gets monotonous and you lose interest in an otherwise fun game, mods add life and fun to a game in many different ways, ive hosted servers for years now and maintained them myself, i had a css and tf2 server and nothing, and i repeat nothing is more fun than mods on those servers, wether is for more maps or custom maps, the gameplay can be hilarous and also 1000x better, for example the reality mods for cod making things more realistic, which encourages less of the run around spraying gameplay type and actual tactical playing, which is nice for those of us who want a challenge, or who like that kind of stuff, i actually use this crap in real life situations and its fun to use it in games also, but when im not in the mood, i disconnect and get on a TDM server and spray and pray, wether its the mg42 ala cod5 or the m60 in cod4, (god thats fun).

With this decision this game is dead to me now, ill look forward to finding it in the bargain bin for singleplayer mode, as the multiplayer will probably be dead after iw realizes their terrible mistake and ditches the game, ( and their costly dedicated servers too) for their next adventure into retarded.

foolish greed man, under the guise of piracy no less. shame on them.

 

Who gives a crap? I don't understand why a group doesn't just RIP the content from mw2, change it a little bit and release it as a mod for mw1, they almost look the same anyway.

I mean, look what those guys did with the cinematic mod for hl2, they totally changed the landscape and look of the game with that.

Not saying it has to be done to that extent....but it just shows that it CAN be done.

 

But it's not the same. They are two different games. It would take considerable, almost monumental work to rip the content and adapt it to COD4.

But I agree with you. This won't decrease the life of the game considerably. The Internet in general has overblown this negative issues of MW2 and have forgotten that even without dedicated servers, mod tools, blah blah blah, the game will still be FUN. Fun games have considerable replay ability and all IW needs to do is pump out sequels left and right and milk this thing to the last drop.

 

But that video was flagged and removed from youtube for violence or something where there are more gore stuff on youtube.

 

More popular videos tend to have higher chances of being "caught."

 

If not really about the price but the principle. If publishers know people are willing to pay console price for their games on pc then they would all charge that rate.

 

There isn't another game that interests me atm besides L4D2.

 

What about AC2?

 

I hate the 1st one so much I deserve the 2nd for free.

 

More of a multi player kind of guy. The only decent single player game I can think of is Simcity 4!!!

 

its very uphill to me.

people look too much into a game before they even play it to know what theyre talking about. play it, then talk about it, otherwise, dont talk about it because obviously u dont know. kty

 

that's a pretty thickheaded approach. what are you advocating, ignorance?

 

He's advocating prudence.
