nope

fuggers.. that didn't show a GD thing about the game!

Nope.

At least we have a release date though!

Interesting that they're dropping COD from the title...

I'm definitely looking forward to this one. COD4 was amazing - probably my favorite 360 game to date...

Hmm, the first words are "God is with us" in Russian... teaser is money. "Revolution is impossible without a revolutionary situation" in the end. Hmmm.

Why the hell would Activision drop the Call of Duty title from Infinity Ward's game? That sounds ****ing 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.

Yeah, it was a joke from the Bombcast. This is just a more formalized version of the unofficial split.


Fantastic teaser, by the way.

O I C

I'm undecided whether I should get this on PS3 or 360.3333233333

You should obviously get it for the OnLive!

Well the problem w/ that is that all my RL friends have PS3.

Oh wait, the OnLive?

Is that the new console thats internet only?

Pfff...

That thing is going to fail so miserably.

Pretty sure that was a joke, bro.

Wow that's a lot of shit to go through. Looking forward to it.

So is it a Civil War 2 scenario, or did the Terrorists invade?

Looks like the fight comes to DC....

anyone see the promo/special package that includes night vision goggles?

I wonder how well those will work; etc.

Easily the most anticipated game of the year.!

It's a first day purchase for sure.

An attorney friend of mine is taking the day off to play it (he has the flexibility to take off pretty much anytime he wants to).

****in bullshit. Trailer didn't show ANY gameplay.

I've got a little of that flexibility as well and think I might do the same.

Does it need to? This game? Really?

Special Ops mode.

PC version removes dedicated servers. ROFL

What a joke.

Yeah, pretty shitty - don't know why they'd do that. Going to be interesting to see how the PC community responds...

I'm not going to buy it right off the bat, now. $60 for Call of Duty 4, with less features? I'll wait for it to drop in price.

I know there is a great deal of PC gamers that are not going to get this without dedicated servers. Canceled my pre-order and our clan canceled the pre-order for a server.

I urge any gamers to sign this petition that will be forwarded to IW and Activision. http://www.petitiononline.com/dedis4mw/petition.html

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.

When gamers checked for them this morning..."

ShutDowned

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.

Here is the link to Infinity Wards thread on the petition. http://www.infinityward.com/forum/vi...?f=24&t=123824

Yep. It's very clear they just want to cater to console kiddies. F them.

Hahah. I have a nice rig, but I'll be playing it on the 360, just because that's how I played COD 4-1. I think the game was made to be played on consoles, but I can't be a true judge because the only COD I played on PC was the original one.

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.

ROFL

Yeah, I guess I am a bit of a nerd. But hey, online gaming is what I like to do. I have other hobbies that are less nerdy too!

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.

I have a pretty sweet gaming PC and I cannot run an FPS, every other game runs great but not shooters for some reason, that alone is why I go with console

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.

360 if youre an onliner. PS3's multiplayer is crap compared to XBOX Live. I have both systems and theres no comparison. Theres a reason Live costs 50 bucks a year.

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.

I have no problem with PS3 for online. I have played on both and see no difference at all on the COD series. Hell my son played nightly and never had a problem on either console.

I'll stick to free.

Modern Warfare 2 For PC


<!--/post-title --> On 10.20.09, In Video Games, 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.

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.

ROFL

FAIL!!! I won't be spending $60 on Call of Duty 4 for PC that has been stripped of features.

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.

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.

No hacks - no deal, huh?

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.

Apples and Oranges.

If you mean hack in a good way - yeah, they aren't offering an SDK at all for MW2.

I agree entirely. I was responding to Metrolike's assertion that the control scheme would not affect "non-scrub" players playing each other...

Does 4-1 have some good mods? Never played in on PC, so I don't know. And I was just giving you crap about hacking... I just remember you talking about griefing dudes in other games.

ROFL

I got n00btubed from across a map yesterday on S&D. Pissed me off.

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.

Thats probably to prevent cheating.

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...

Seems like they would be able to just disallow party chat when it extends to two teams within the same match rather than disallowing party chat altogether. 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.

Well the obvious workaround would be to set up your voice settings to friends only in your xbox live privacy settings.
