lol

So it would be like "Play now" button in BF2?

Basically yes... i think (correct me if i'm wrong).

But i know what matchmaking is ,i've played halo 3 on live, IT WAS HORRIBLE (atleast in my opinion, compared to dedi): LOTS of lag, less players, you'll be put in the random server with players at same rank as you, you'll have to pay for DLC/updates, no more mods or custom made maps/skins/weapons etc. IWnet is basically like matchmaking in Xbox live games.

Instead, i think i'll buy Fallout 3 GOTY edition for PC. Helps me to pass some time 'till BFBC 2 comes out

And of course, i can still keep playing BF2 and CoD4

I had to make a choice between L4D 2 and MW2... just made it.

Good Choice

this is why im glad i got a ps3

lol this will solve everything.... not!

If half the people that actually signed the petition went on NOT to buy the game on any platform, IW would change there minds. But thats about as likely as the world ending before 2010. Makes me laugh really, most of the people that have signed the petition are still gonna go out and buy the game, maybe not on PC, but they'll buy it anyway. I bet in some cases people will actually go out and buy a console JUST to play this game.
It's generally the best way to get things done, a huge public respone (that results in company losing money), and they will change their minds. It wouldnt make commerical sense not too.

Its over everyone. The PC version of the Modern Warfare 2 is now officially screwed by the Infinity Ward. It looks that PC version is going be nothing but a crippled console port.

We all know by now that there will be no dedicated servers or support for mods or custom maps but heres some other things IW has changed in PC version:

- There will be no "lean" (apparently game is not "balanced" for lean)
- No console commands (you will HAVE to play the game the way it is done)
- Ping in multiplayer will be around 100ms
- Only IW can kick/ban hackers/cheaters, annoying players can only be muted
- Max number of players in one match will be between 2-18, so max is 9vs9 no matter what game mode is being played (W-T-F!!!??)
- Playing in LAN requires internet and steam connection
- After 25 killstreak, match ends to a tactical nuke
- No record feature
- "PC has custom stuff like mouse control, text chat in game, and graphics settings" said by mickey-IW in BestBuy dev chat. All of those are self-explanatory when it comes to PC games
- If the host ragequits, the game pauses for 5 seconds while the IW.net chooses new host, which can be anyone from anywhere. It can be YOU, even if you didnt want to

Some of you may have read these things from some other site, but i wanted to post these here too for everyone to see. This is seriously a total BS!!

In the meantime, BF2 with its mods and servers lives on !!

Looks like it will be BF2 FTW for a long time yet!!

Sorry for double post - lag is causing this a lot recently...

You got that right v1k1ng

All glory to the BF2, DICE and BF:BC2

BTW, it was fun playing at the essex last night. I personally had a blast, even though my K/D sucked and at the operation road rage i crashed 8 times with the "littlebird" . I'll come play again at essex sometime. I've been playing every 3rd, 4rth day lately, my ISP is **cking with my connection (goddamn sonera)

Can you change points till match end/time limit like in 4? Or is it like the console version w/ 20 kills per match

Like i said unknown, after 25 kills the player who got that killstreak gets a tactical nuke which kills everyone in the game (including the player who launched the nuke and hes/her teammates) and ends the round. Heres also some leaked footage of a multiplayer match which ends to this nuke:



Can you unbalance the game any more than this??? This match lasted 4 freaking minutes, imagine how short match will be if someone is using hax (aimbot, wallhack etc). "Not balanced for lean", well my PC is not balanced for bs.

Oh and btw, theres been news that theres disc errors on the PC version of the game. Apparently PC version has two DVDs in it: first contains the game itself and the other contains extra material, probably "making of" videos, concept art and other bs that nobody really needs. It looks like this extra material DVD doesnt work. The game itself "appears" to work and even though its just extra DVD thats having these errors, i dont know about you, but if i buy a video game i would expect that no matter how shitty the game is (or extra material in this case) i would still expect them to work, especially now after we have to pay extra 10$ for it.

Okey, first that 25 killstreak is good so that if there is cheater and he kills all in the 2 minutes, and round dont go too far and he dont get a much points if he get somehow kicked in the server, well thats the only good news...

THEN the BAD NEWS:

1: What if there is some 24/7 players against 1/7 players, that dont take a long to get kills, and what then happens?? the new players go away beacuse they dont have a chance to kill him beacuse round ends too quickly, and rounds ends too quickly.

2. How much peoples enjoy if there is actyally good player, he maybe got kicked beacuse he is too darn good in that server and those players want to take long round..
