If you want to know how pissed they are. I went on just ONE of a few major torrent sites and added together the downloads and leechers.

Just ONE of many torrent sites has 150k users downloading/downloaded MW2 already.

I hope this makes them kill the franchise for pc. Do it right or don't do it at all.

So what's gonna happen now - some hacker will make a hack or something so PC gamers can run their own servers? And then nobody will have to buy the PC version of MW2? That sure would sting IW.

Anyway this is just ridiculous, if every PC match online is like this then OMG.

This and the fact that it cost 10 dollars more for features taken away. It's like a turd smeared over their face by IW.

A lot of us experience this type of match making lag due to somebody lagging somebody else. Console owners that diss on anybody who's made about this issue. Do you like lagging or something?

I'm a console player also but nobody wants to lag like this.

OMG THAT IS BRILLIANT!!!!! The genius at IW who came up with that should get a f*cking medal. Oh, text chat support? Innovation on a higher level right there folks.

It's funny, on IGN the lowest score you can give a game is 0.0 and on GameSpot it's 1.0. Gamers who post on IGN are a way tougher crowd than GameSpot.

the PC gaming community is actually a lot bigger than you and the rest of the console only players seem to realize. they are also much more dedicated members. they stick with games for years and years, they create mods which are often adapted in sequels by developers, and they have thousands of ppl supplying dedicated servers for all sorts of games. the console community is so fickle. they latch on to whatever game is currently rolling on the hype train, they smother it with praise for 2-3 months, then they are on to the next game. and that's what these greedy publishers want. they want you to be obsessed with their 4 hour experience for weeks before launch, spend 60 dollars on it, then get sick of it and immediately be ready to open your wallets for the next title. there are still developers who realize this though (you're right about wow, blizzard is def one of them), and they will always do their best to keep the pc community happy. I personally divide my time between pc and consoles about evenly, but i prefer the pc community by a long shot. and i, for one, don't really see what's goin on as a bad thing. the rehashes churned out by IW have been lame since the first iteration of COD, and i'd rather just stick to games that are great. as long as valve, crytek, and blizzard are making great games for PC first, the pc community will be just fine. and with the advancements coming for developers with the introduction of directX 11, i think we're going to see a lot more developers looking to PC again.

the biggest problem a lot of the companies are having is that PC gamers standards are very high, and console gamers aren't. and it's harder to please us when our expectations bar is set by games like crysis. i really think direct x 11 is going to help out a lot with that.

...but then again, who knows. the market does seem to be ever more dominated by ignorant gamers who's last PC experience was Wolf 3d and think that trash talking the largest gaming community without knowing a thing about it is acceptable. and if more and more ppl ignorantly champion things like DLC and paying increasing prices for inferior products, maybe it will be the slow death of the PC gamer.

@sub-Mate, I agree that there's a LOT of ihnorance among some console gamers these days. Personally I game less on PC now than I used to for a variety of reasons but totally dupport the core PC gamer over MW2 and what they've pulled. They KNEW most console gamers would say "well, suck it up we get treated like that ALL the time!" instead of saying "wow, WHY do we get treated like that ALL the time?" and sticking it to the greedy gits.

IW and Acti just proved that the thought of a whole, inclusive gaming community is hogwash right now and they took all they wanted aas a result. If they don't make on it they don't want you doing it and the tech issues go WAY beyond the crap console port PC got, trust me.

Thing is, and there's some truth to ths sadly, some PC gamers bring this upon themselves wth console gamers by looking down their noses which is just as bad as console gamers being ignorant, imo. Both sets of gamers need to drop the differences as there are far more SIMILARITIES. We all GAMERS FFS! Why can't we just stand together for better treatment on all platforms? Console gamers AND PC hamers should have said we aren't buying it til EVERYONE gets dedicated servers etc. We SHOULD have looked after each other. How bad does it have ro get before we do this? Will there be no PC gaming as we know it? Certainly, imo, the big devs and pubn s are trying to sqyeeza PC gamers real hard these days forgetting where they themselves came from and hoping the console gamer continues not to care-it's time we all looked out for each other.

Sod Acti and IW. Proud not to have bought this game which, to me, is a symbol of how much in thrall to the industry most gamers are -and at the expense of themselves and other gamers everywhere. Stand up for ourselves-it's what we need to learn to do. As it stands standards are going to nosedive.

But, honestly, people still buy it. Only way they'll listen is if people don't buy it, even for the console. If only people buy it for the console, all they'll do is get rid of the PC version and have the lesser features of the console to deal with in the future.

If console players could see how much better dedicated server are vs P2P then they would ask for them as well.

When I play cod on either console, each map is different. It's all about whos host. When I'm host all my shots register pretty quickly. Off host, the hitboxes are totally garbage and nothing registers correctly.

Lets say you hit somebody with the first bullet from your gun, it will register after you shoot up to 5 bullets later. On dedicated servers it registers before you even get another shot off.

Truth be had a majority of PS3 exclusives have dedicated servers...Alot of other games have tried it too. If im not mistaken Unreal Tournement 3 took everything from PC and threw it at PS3. Mods, dedicated servers, mouse and keyboard, etc... and people still went to their console ways.

Truth be had everyone has fun in their own ways...

Lich120 - 35 days 9 hours ago

As a side note, P2P means peer-to-peer which is not what the game uses. It still uses a client/sever architecture, just one of the clients also acts as the server. What they did get rid of is the option for dedicated servers... and that's bullsh*t.

mastiffchild - 35 days 20 hours ago

Syronicus-No they didn't. MORE people will pirate it now. The fact is they forgot what the PC crowd did for them and shafted them knowing most console gamers are quite happy taking it up the rear from the industry as they don't know any better. Had we, mainly, console gamers stuck up with PC gamers maybe we'd ALL be getting dedicated servers for MW2 without price hikes.

Sadly, we need to grow up for that kind of action to happen, let alone work. You think Acti care any more about console gamers? They only prefer consoles because gamers there don't even know what rights they should have half the time. Christ! Without us they make NO money and we should have stopped them pushing us around-or do you like paying more for less and prefer P2P ro dedicated servers?

Agree(4) | Disagree(3) | Report

Syronicus - 35 days 17 hours ago

Never said that Activision cares about the console gamers. What they do care about is money and the console gamers buy their games in droves. almost 14 million copies of COD4 sold on consoles and not even 10 percent of the same sales were sold on PC. If you, the mighty PC community would step up and buy the games maybe they would favor you. They favor the money maker crowd, not the PC community that would rather pirate the copies than actually spend a little money for a legit copy and at the same time show Activision that your community is worth keeping happy because you add a greater level of revenue to the bottom line.

Because the 1.5m pirated copies downloaded for the 360 in the past 3 weeks mean nothing, right?

Because the fact that the 360 edition leaked almost a month before release whereas the PC version has only been available for a few days is totally unimportant, yes?
