PC Gamers rage against Modern Warfare 2

PC gamers have let their frustrations out by submitting low scoring reviews and ratings across Gamespot, IGN and Amazon less than a day after launch. These ratings have collectively lowered the user scores significantly on the sites:

IGN user rating: 2.1 / 10
Gamespot user rating: 5.0 / 10
Amazon user rating: 1.5 / 5 Stars

PC gamers are angry at the removal of dedicated servers, mod support, kick support. They are angry at Infinity Ward and Activision for charging them $60.

According to this video

They have a right to be.

CernaML5284d ago

Holy crap I laughed so hard at 0:42.

Myst5284d ago

After seeing that I'd be mad to.

Also lol at that 0:42 mark, hilarity!

No FanS Land5284d ago

At first I wondered what you all meant by 0:42, when I saw this I laughed really hard. Very funny (well sort of) situation.

evrfighter5284d ago

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.

DiffusionE5284d ago

0.42 made my day...

This s**t got 9.5 on IGN.com? 9.5 for graphics? 10 for sound? 10 for Lasting Appeal? Editor's Choice? WTF?

hakis865284d ago

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.

II Necroplasm II5284d ago (Edited 5284d ago )

Very understandable why PC gamers are mad.

CrippleH5284d ago (Edited 5284d ago )

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.

Microsoft Xbox 3605284d ago

Wow that really sucks. Looks like the host is on dial up. lol

ReservoirDog3165284d ago

Funny and sad at the same time. Is there a word for that?

And 0:42...

Haha

hobokiller5284d ago

Wow, not trying to start a flame war, but xbox fans should really take note. After this I think IW will definitely think twice before messing with the PC community.

TheReaper425284d ago

reminds me of speed hacking in counterstrike version 1.3

toaster5284d ago (Edited 5284d ago )

I GET TO USE A MOUSE AND KEYBOARD?!?!? ON PC?!?!?!
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.

Briefcase Joe5284d ago

Fack you whale(Activision) and a fack you dolphin(Infinity Ward)!!!

Something I never knew existed came out of my nose after watching this video........

mastiffchild5284d ago

@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.

Christopher5284d ago

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.

pangitkqb5284d ago

Isn't it obvious why I'm not buying the game?

sikbeta5284d ago

PC community don't support IW/MW or Activision and then they realise how stupid they were when they f*cked a whole gaming community

dkgshiz5284d ago

I feel sorry for any PC owners who bought this. Im glad I own it on the PS3. Thats some major lag on the PC version.

MrJack5284d ago

The PC version is still the best out there, so will you guys quit whining, P2P hasn't effected it's popularity on consoles.

roybatty5284d ago

You're in KIDDIELAND here. The kiddies will disagree all night in the face of facts. Mainly out of rage of not having a decent PC.

mauleriscool5284d ago

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.

Simon_Brezhnev5284d ago

@ mauleriscool

most PS3 exclusives have dedicated servers so we know the benefit of it

narked5284d ago

ye it may be better but it's not a good product. so refrain from buying and wait for bfbc2 :D

Soldierone5284d ago

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...

dkgshiz5284d ago

No its not. You would like to think that wouldn't you?

Pandamobile5284d ago

Not really. The PC version is a direct port of the 360 version with mouse support, and uncompressed textures. That's about it...

Lich1205284d 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.

Syronicus5284d ago

PC Gamers For The WHINE... Like, cheese and whine... Good gravy, so much hate for a game that the PC community is going to pirate anyway. They made the game like this to combat the piracy so blame the pirates in your own community.

mastiffchild5284d 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?

Syronicus5284d 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.

Pika-pie5284d ago

Haha, silly PC gamers. Shoulnt play pirate games then should you

II Necroplasm II5284d ago

I think you are right. IW did this on purpose.

Viso Games5284d ago

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?

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G264d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood264d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G264d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade263d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty263d ago (Edited 263d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality263d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator262d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G263d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy85264d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai264d ago (Edited 264d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G264d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo264d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg264d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast263d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
