Why the hell would Activision drop the Call of Duty title from Infinity Ward's game? That sounds fucking crazy to me. Modern Warfare 2 is a stupid name by itself. They should just make Call of Duty into a Tom Clancy's sort of thing; drop the numbers and give the games subtitles.

"So at what point does the Modern Warfare series get so huge that Activision steps in and says we want to do it annually and now Treyarch is going to be doing them in the off years?"
"Modern Warfare 1942."

Modern Warfare is probably going to be Infinity Ward only

COD will probably be Treyarch only.

Thats my guess.

Treyarch had one bad game in COD3...but COD WAW is pretty good.

GN writes, "Yesterday, in a barrage of media announcements, it was made abundantly clear that Infinity Ward has no plans to support standard dedicated servers in their upcoming game Modern Warfare 2. The community immediately responded by posting several petitions on the official IW forums, two of which were largely successful. The two biggest petitions averaged 250-300 pages in length, totaling several thousand signatures each (it is unknown how many were duplicate signatures between the two). Infinity Ward responded in force, and closed down the two largest petitions overnight.

The above petition has not been "shutdown" by IW. They have stated they will let it go. 72,000 + signatures already. At $60.00 a game they are looking at $4,320,000 in lost revenue. Although this is just the hardcore PC clan type gamers, it is a significant loss of revenue.

The only true PC mutliplayer shooter to me always has and always will be Counter-Strike. The BF series as well I guess, but I never played them competitively.

I've played on both platforms. I've had nearly every console made starting with the Atari 2600 to present, and have had a gaming PC since DOS 5. FPS was born on PC, evolved on PC, and was then dumbed down for consoles. Now the reverse is happening, which is pretty sad - but it's a sign of the times, and I can't blame companies for wanting to maximize their profits.

You either don't have a very good gaming PC, or you don't know how to configure it, or the games properly.

I have a fairly crappy PC, most parts are several years old (2006-2007) and it runs every game out there pretty well, and they look better than their console counterparts.

How does it run Crysis? That's what is used to benchmark gaming PC's nowadays.

As far as dumbing shooters down for consoles - there's no such thing. It actually takes a lot more skill to be good at FPS on a console than it does on a PC.

And yeah, hardware issues is why a lot of people go with consoles as well. A person running QUAD-SLI w/ 295's is going to have an edge on you in COD 4-2 any way you look at it. With consoles, everyone is on equal ground unless you have a shitty ISP.

Dumbing down meaning watered down graphics, options, configs, mod options, etc.

As far as skill goes, I suppose you are right. It is tougher to maneuver with an inferior control set - but most of the players you will run in to on LIVE/PSN are going to be dumbasses anyways.

Yeah, easy pickins until you find the elite. I agree about the mods, but as far as graphics are concerned, that's the price you pay for having the optimal settings for everyone. You, yourself, said that turning down graphics is a part of PC gaming - and it's the shitty part when you're facing someone with a system two times more powerful than yours.

Consoles are winning because they're more accessible (dumbed down, if you will) and the piracy isn't nearly as rampant. To turn any kind of significant profit on a PC, you pretty much have to invest 5 years into developing an MMO and hope to get ~5% of WoW's market, lol.

Modern Warfare 2 For PC (http://www.fourzerotwo.com/?p=745)

 On 10.20.09, In Video Games (http://www.fourzerotwo.com/?cat=40), By fourzerotwo

I recently broke news on a PC community member’s podcast that Modern Warfare 2 would be introducing a completely new backend infastructure called IWNET that would allow matchmaking for multiplayer games on PC. The news, by default, means no more browsing through a Server List for a server with the settings / ping you want among other things, and sent shockwaves through the hardcore PC community, leading to many more questions than answers as to ‘HOW’ this would work, and if it would really be better for the PC community as a whole.

Questions, assumptions, and speculation I intend to dispel.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is actually the biggest investment Infinity Ward has ever made into the PC version of our games. It’s also the most feature-rich PC version we’ve ever made. IWNET takes the benefits of dedicated servers and allows them to be utilized and accessed by every player, out of the box, while removing the barrier to entry for players unaware of how to maintain a server on their own.

How does it do this?

Matchmaking & Smoother Gameplay: When you want to player a multiplayer game on PC, in the past. You’d have to scroll through a Server Browser which listed every available server which was hosted by individual server admins. Each had their own private rules, mods, or ways of playing the game. Most players would also use the server browser to find just the best quality game (based on PING). With IWNET matchmaking, it takes all that into account for you. All you have to do is select the playlist (pre-set gametypes with custom rules) that fits the style of play you are in the mood for. When you do, it will automatically find you a game with the best performance, ping, and preferences based on your location and individual connection as well as matching you with players of your same SKILL. So you’re always guaranteed the best game performance for where you are and what connection you’re playing on as well as an equal game with other players of your same skill level, not rank, but skill level. It doesn’t mean you’ll just be thrown into a random game! It will put you in the game that will give you the smoothest gameplay possible without you having to manually find a server with the best ping.

Playlists and Private Matches: As I described above, Playlists are pre-set game modes and gametypes for public games. If you just want to jump into a public game of Search and Destroy or Hardcore Search and Destroy and you don’t care about fully customizing it, then you can utilize playlists to do that quickly for you. However, say you’re in a clan and you want to play a Clan match with another team, or you want to practice for an upcoming tournament that has specific rules in a private game. Then you can start a Private Match (which is essentially like running your own private server) where you have complete control over the rules, who can join, boot players you don’t want, and essentially control the entire game or tweak it to your liking. Once the rules are set, you can invite the other team in or just start it up with your clan to practice with the custom rules before the match. This now allows you to play custom games out of the box without the need to install mods, find a modded server with the rules you like, or worry about not being in control of the match.

Party System and Friendslist: Modern Warfare 2 on PC also makes it much easier if you want to party up with your friends, or again, with your clan for a match. You can utilize the friendslist to see when your friends are online, and invite them to your Party. A Party allows you to move from game to game as a group. It’s great for clan matches, because you can party of with your clan and move from public game to public game together. Or if you’re doing a scrim, party up and invite the other clan (who is in a party) and they’ll all join at once. Set up a private match together and play. It makes setting up scrims or games with friends easier and hassle free.

Cheat / Hack Free Games: The biggest benefit of using IWnet by far is the fact that you don’t have to worry about joining a server full of aim-bots, wallhacks, or cheaters. Or relying on the server admin of the server to constantly be monitoring, banning, and policing it. Modern Warfare 2 on PC allows us to control the quality of the game much more than ever before as well as utilizing the VAC (Valve-Anti-Cheat) system to keep games clean of hackers and cheaters.

All in all, IWNET adds a load of new features that the PC version of our games have never had before and allows us an infrastructure to continue to update and improve on the game post-launch.

I recently broke news on a PC community member’s podcast that Modern Warfare 2 would be introducing a completely new backend infastructure called IWNET that would allow matchmaking for multiplayer games on PC. The news, by default, means no more browsing through a Server List for a server with the settings / ping you want among other things, and sent shockwaves through the hardcore PC community, leading to many more questions than answers as to ‘HOW’ this would work, and if it would really be better for the PC community as a whole.

Questions, assumptions, and speculation I intend to dispel.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is actually the biggest investment Infinity Ward has ever made into the PC version of our games. It’s also the most feature-rich PC version we’ve ever made. IWNET takes the benefits of dedicated servers and allows them to be utilized and accessed by every player, out of the box, while removing the barrier to entry for players unaware of how to maintain a server on their own.

How does it do this?

Matchmaking & Smoother Gameplay: When you want to player a multiplayer game on PC, in the past. You’d have to scroll through a Server Browser which listed every available server which was hosted by individual server admins. Each had their own private rules, mods, or ways of playing the game. Most players would also use the server browser to find just the best quality game (based on PING). With IWNET matchmaking, it takes all that into account for you. All you have to do is select the playlist (pre-set gametypes with custom rules) that fits the style of play you are in the mood for. When you do, it will automatically find you a game with the best performance, ping, and preferences based on your location and individual connection as well as matching you with players of your same SKILL. So you’re always guaranteed the best game performance for where you are and what connection you’re playing on as well as an equal game with other players of your same skill level, not rank, but skill level. It doesn’t mean you’ll just be thrown into a random game! It will put you in the game that will give you the smoothest gameplay possible without you having to manually find a server with the best ping.

Playlists and Private Matches: As I described above, Playlists are pre-set game modes and gametypes for public games. If you just want to jump into a public game of Search and Destroy or Hardcore Search and Destroy and you don’t care about fully customizing it, then you can utilize playlists to do that quickly for you. However, say you’re in a clan and you want to play a Clan match with another team, or you want to practice for an upcoming tournament that has specific rules in a private game. Then you can start a Private Match (which is essentially like running your own private server) where you have complete control over the rules, who can join, boot players you don’t want, and essentially control the entire game or tweak it to your liking. Once the rules are set, you can invite the other team in or just start it up with your clan to practice with the custom rules before the match. This now allows you to play custom games out of the box without the need to install mods, find a modded server with the rules you like, or worry about not being in control of the match.

Party System and Friendslist: Modern Warfare 2 on PC also makes it much easier if you want to party up with your friends, or again, with your clan for a match. You can utilize the friendslist to see when your friends are online, and invite them to your Party. A Party allows you to move from game to game as a group. It’s great for clan matches, because you can party of with your clan and move from public game to public game together. Or if you’re doing a scrim, party up and invite the other clan (who is in a party) and they’ll all join at once. Set up a private match together and play. It makes setting up scrims or games with friends easier and hassle free.

Cheat / Hack Free Games: The biggest benefit of using IWnet by far is the fact that you don’t have to worry about joining a server full of aim-bots, wallhacks, or cheaters. Or relying on the server admin of the server to constantly be monitoring, banning, and policing it. Modern Warfare 2 on PC allows us to control the quality of the game much more than ever before as well as utilizing the VAC (Valve-Anti-Cheat) system to keep games clean of hackers and cheaters.

All in all, IWNET adds a load of new features that the PC version of our games have never had before and allows us an infrastructure to continue to update and improve on the game post-launch.

That's a pretty weak response...

Since we are all going through IW's servers, why don't they allow PC and console players to play together? After all it's painfully clear that the PC version is just a port of the 360 version.

Man i'd love to tee off on the XBL players.

Man, I started to play COD4-1 again last night to warm up for this after like a 6-month hiatus, I forgot how awesome the game is. Dang.

No shit. I started really back into it about a month ago. I had stopped at 7th or 8th prestige. I prestiged up and started from scratch again....now I'm playing it like it's brand new. Fun as shit.

Dude, just because its easier to play with a mouse and keyboard doesn't mean you are better than the console players.

Its like telling two boxers to fight, except one has their left hand tied behind their back, not exactly a fair fight.

That's why he won't be playing it on PC either - harder to hack now...

But in all seriousness, I honestly used to play CS with a guy who used the old Xbox controller modified to work for PC. He was insanely good. Skill is skill, and yeah the majority XBL/PS3 players would get stomped by Mouse+Keyboard, but the non-scrubs playing non-scrubs wouldn't be affected, IMO.

Having played extensive amounts of FPS games on both PC and the 360, there's really no denying the superiority of the mouse/keyboard combination. Yes, there are some amazing console players, but IMHO, the best PC players would stomp the best console players, simply due to the control scheme. Those same console players would stomp average/good PC players, though.

In case it's unclear, that's not a put-down of console players, just a comment on the control schemes...

Yeah, if they were playing mouse/keyboard against console.

Like I said earlier, its not a fair argument.

The Mouse/Keyboard player would beat the console player if they were playing eachother like that, but its a hell of a lot faster to aim with a mouse than it is a joystick.

If rumors circulating around NeoGAF prove true, Modern Warfare 2 developer Infinity Ward won't be allowing the use of the Xbox 360's party chat feature during ranked multiplayer playlists in its upcoming title. Since a distinction in the post is made between different styles of online matches (ranked and social), we presume the function will not be utilized throughout all of Modern Warfare 2's online playlists.

I hadn't heard the ranked vs social distinction, only that it would likely only affect certain modes. I'm really hoping it's just for things like S&D, and not TDM, where ghosting really isn't a problem. I'm going to be really annoyed if it affects TDM, as that will definitely affect my enjoyment of the game. I have a group of people I play with regularly, and I MUCH prefer to just chat with those folks, rather than all the 12 year old kids on XBL cussing, talking trash, etc. We don't use it for ghosting - just chatting.

The party chat system is one of the best things about XBL. I really don't like the precedent this would set. They should just create specific "no party chat" playlists for those who want to play that way...

I'm already concerned about how this MP in this game is going to turn out, and this is just one more thing that makes me wonder...

That is one the the biggest features on the box.

I guess the good thing here for me is that my son may just change his mind and want to get this on the pS3 instead since party chat would be gimped.

http://www.themodernwarfare2.com/mw2/multiplayer/perks/

It's both a perk AND a death streak.

The base level of the perk is the same as COD4, plus you can now crawl.

The pro level of the perk adds the ability to use your entire loadout while in last stand - rifles, frags, etc.

They took the most annoying perk in the game, made it considerably worse, AND also added it as a death streak. They should have either removed it entirely, or made it only a death streak. It's like they've never played their own game with the public...

Seriously...UAV Jammer. If they don't know where you are...and they won't....kills are easier. I used to be a stopping power guy as well, but I found "the Jam" works better.

Haha, I know the feeling. Add Dead Silence to that, and you can straight up run up to him without him even having a clue. The best is when you do the headshot and you know he's thinking "WTF did that come from? THERE'S NO WAY!!1"

MW2 is strictly a console game. IW is making a big mistake concerning PC gamers with MW2. The no dedicated servers and no anti-cheat is not sitting well at all.

The petitions put together by PC gamers have been exploding with signatures. A couple hundred thousand have signed so far. That is tens millions of dollars of revenue just lost for IW. Matter of a fact, the whole console crossover idea that has been dominant in developing games has begun to backfire.

DICE jumped on it though saying the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will have dedicated servers and anti-cheats in place. They have acknowledged that the PC gamer has been ignored and are gearing their work towards that. And I can't wait. BBC2 looks fucking EPIC...

Will this game be any different on PS3 vs. XBox? I've had a PS3 for a long time, but I picked up an Xbox a couple days ago during that Wal-Mart deal so I could play online with xbox friends, too.

There's no way I'm buying two copies of a $60 game, though. Will the games be identical for both consoles, including online play? I've got more friends with xbox than ps3, so that might be the deciding factor if they're identical.

Sounds like PC Gamers are pissed. Oh well I always found them a little snobby.

Infinity Ward needs to realize that talking to people in the PC community does not end well for the buzz around its game. The lack of dedicated servers was "announced" during an interview with a gaming podcast, and the interviewers were stunned into silence when they were basically told their community, as they knew it, was dead. They would have to learn to adapt to Infinity Ward controlling all aspects of the servers, or move onto another game.

More recently, Best Buy hosted an online chat between gamers and Mackey McCandlish and Ryan Lastimosa from Infinity Ward. The floor was open for questions, and the pair systematically crushed any hope that the PC version of the game would even attempt to make gamers happy, or allow for what the community has been taking for granted for years. We're going to take a look at some of the more telling questions from this session, and give our thoughts on why this is bad, bad news.

Josh111: PC Question... What will the max amount of players per map be for PC multiplayer on IW.net

Vince-IW: 9v9

No matter how good a connection the host has, no matter how powerful your dedicated server was, the maximum number of players online is 18. If you have a larger clan, you're out of luck. If you're waiting for someone to create a custom map to allow larger groups, don't bother. There is no news on mod tools or the ability to add your own content into the locked-down server structure.

Infinity Ward says the maps are balanced for only nine players per side, but they also say there is no lean in the game because the game "isn't balanced for lean." Remember, you can easily answer any inconvenient questions by saying it would ruin the game's balance.

Somehow, I doubt between the past games and this one they've forgotten how to implement lean. Likewise, with the ability to run your own servers players can decide what size games they'd like to play on, or use new maps that are larger. As the system is set up now, however, that is simply not an option.

Q: Is there a console in the PC version of the game, so we can change our field of view from the xbox's default 65 FOV to 80 also can we tweaks the weapon damage for each gun, removes perks, graphical debris, breathing sway, also thru console like we where able to before or is this all gone?

Vince-IW: We would like you to play the game the way we designed and balanced it.

The lack of console commands is going to be something that may not make the headlines, but may be one of the most annoying omissions to the game. The ability to tweak and adjust your play experience through the console is something PC gamers have enjoyed since... well, since there has been modern gaming.

There is a long list of adjustments and tweaks gamers can make to titles like Borderlands on the PC in order to adjust settings. Now you're locked into whatever options Infinity Ward sees fit to put into the menus.

This is, for all intents and purposes, a console game that plays on your PC. You won't be able to make any tweaks, you can't adjust anything, and even better? You won't be able to make recordings of your matches. The question in the chat showed just how far the gulf between what gamers want and what Infinity Ward is giving them has become. "Is there a /record feature? Answer yes... please. We're trying to give you a 'chance'," the gamer asked. The answer was a simple "No."

DudezTY: Since we cannot kick people in ranked matches, how will we stop hackers who get past VAC?

Mackey-IW: Our goal is to ban hackers from the game.

It's a shame that it's impossible to show a jaw dropping on an online chat. There will be no way to kick players, and Infinity Ward seems sure they'll simply be able to keep hackers and cheaters from playing.

That's a pipe dream, of course, but with no control in the hands of the players, no ability to control who is hosting, and no ability to kick or ban players from your game, you're just going to have to take their word for it.

kaRMa: Please give me a direct answer. On the PC version. Are all games hosted by players, and is there a five-second delay when host migration is in effect?

Vince-IW: yes.

Why is this a problem? Because Infinity Ward also revealed in the chat that the game will pick who hosts. You have no control over it. If the host leaves, there will be a five-second delay while the game picks the next best host. Players have no way of controlling who is hosting, and of course we know there will be no dedicated servers.

The host will of course have a ping advantage, which should be mitigated by the software "having a great tolerance for latency," and a five-second pause if the host rage-quits before the game restarts will ruin any flow the game enjoyed until that point.

What's more interesting is that they said ISPs will have to deal with you hosting games, even if there is language against running servers in their usage agreement. Infinity Ward's response is that since this isn't a "permanent" server, they have to deal with it. When someone else asked what would happen if their ISP throttled traffic that comes from running a server, they were told that "only players capable of hosting will host."

They better hope that no ISPs get upset, because there is no way for any player to control who hosts. You can't opt out of hosting. If the host quits, the game stops for five seconds while the next one is selected by the software. This is good for gamers... somehow.

Moriarte: Ignoring IW.net, is the PC version a direct port of the console version?

Mackey-IW: No, PC has custom stuff like mouse control, text chat in game, and graphics settings.

This is the amount of work that went into the PC version: you are given the ability to use a mouse, to use text chat, and to adjust graphical settings. Are your fears now put to rest?
To sum it up

We thought the lack of dedicated servers was bad, but now we can add the lack of console commands, the inability to have a say in who hosts the game, a lengthy pause while the game migrates to a new host if the currently selected host quits, no leaning, no option to record matches, and no way to kick or block trouble players, hackers, or cheaters.

You have to wonder if there are any actual PC gamers working at Infinity Ward, as it will be a challenge to find any member of the PC gaming community that will stand up for any of these omissions, not to mention all of them bundled together. At launch, this will be one of the most locked-down, inflexible, and gamer-unfriendly game ever created.

It won't stay that way, of course. The pirates will have the game up on the torrent sites soon, if they haven't already, and the code will be ripped apart and modded to allow everything gamers want. How quickly will dedicated servers pop up for these pirates? It's hard to say... but we have a feeling it won't be long. Those that buy the game legally will have no choice but to play exactly how the developer and publisher want them to. On the other hand, this has given us some incredibly amusing images from the peanut gallery. The images were found on Evil Avatar's discussion thread.
Welcome to the new face of PC gaming.

I was way too tired to even try playing multiplayer (woke up at 4 am the previous morning) so I just played the campaign and stayed up til 4 am playing that.

For those of you who have kids, there is a warning that pops up in the beginning that one level may be offensive, I'm pretty sure of which one it is and I could have really done with out it. Check spoiler tag below if you want to know. I wouldn't want my kids playing this level.

Not so much snobby, but I really enjoyed going into some clans server and wiping the mat with their best players while being without a clan myself. Getting alot of invites to clans but giving them a "thanks, but I am good" oh that was sweet!

My favorite moment was me packing a SAW in that open map with a bus in the middle (been almost a year, forget the name) and making a clan boot me because I pretty much crushed their team by myself. I was like 89-15 that map. Good times!

I recently got back on COD4 for a map to see how bad I am now. 12-10...ouch!

Looking forward to getting MW2 during lunchbreak. I will get ownd for awhile, but should be decent in time.

I decided at 12:30 am I couldn't wait any longer and even though I put $5 at Gamestop (its like a 7 mile drive) so I went to the walmart right down the street and there were two lines (one for ps3 and one for 360).

Surprisingly the PS3 line had like 40 people in it and the 360 line had 4. I was going to get it on 360 anyways, so I got in that line and got out within 10 minutes. Everyone in front of me was buying the hardened edition, but I just went with the standard.

No energy drinks and cookies though.

It comes in a 'steelbook' case, has a game art book and a free download of Call of Duty Classic on the XBLA or PS Store.

After tax, the regular edition (in CA) was $65.35 and the Hardened Edition was like $89.30 IIRC (saw the guy who bought it in front of me and decided to go with the regular).

Either that or stabbing a sniper in the back. That's definately sweet too.

What's the diff between red dot sight and holographic??

Red Dot is exactly what the name implies: there is a glowing red dot in the center of the sight. That dot shows the approximate location of where the round will hit. The sight looks like a short cylinder mounthed on top of the weapon.

A holographic sight typically has a crosshair with circle around it with range ticks (lower ticks used on targets at farther ranges). The crosshairs in a holographic sight are just that: a reflected hologram of a circle with crosshairs in the middle. The sight looks like a square thin bracket with a wider base mounted on the weapon. Holographic sights cost a lot more than red dot sights.
