Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for PC is now a LEGIT console port

[minmaster]

sorry but dice's buggy and glitchy game coding is nothing to be proud of tbh. they got nothing on IW in that dept. and they should just shut up instead of trying to make a big deal out of something that was already planned. i know a lot of people are rejoicing and giving dice props but this move (celebrating IW bashing) made me lose some respect for them. what all of a sudden people are forgetting that dice have their own issues? they should just be quiet and think about making games that are half as stable and bug free as IW's. and this is coming from a bf fan.

i mean wtf, they are pretending to be PC dedicated? since release of BF2142 3 yrs ago, this is what they have released so far:
BC1 - consoles
mirror's edge - consoles, pc port (they didn't even bother changing xbox controller icons on pc)
BF: heroes - casual pc game nobody wanted
BF 1943 - consoles, (pc delayed 1/2 yr)

i'll rejoice when i see something decent on PC from dice. for now it's just all words, and taking advantage of an opportunity to make themselves look good for doing nothing special.

minmaster, i agree. it would take a very, very good game for me to play a dice game again. i wish my personal boycott of EA was nearly as successful.

I think dailytech used that phrase in a recent article.

Political science that is.

Is any one not planning to buy the game because of this? I signed the petition for the cause, but it does not mean I won't buy it some where down the line. I guess I will wait for a few guinea pigs.

 

[LumbergTech]

its like we all have ferraris but they want us to limit them to the abilities of a go-kart

i won't play any FPS that uses that system, some games I don't mind....but not FPS

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

This game on Steam in my country costs USD$90. Yeah, that's USD. For a gimped game with 4-5 hours single player (the whole game is up on various video sites) and gimped MP. It sickens me that this title is still going to make these assholes filthy rich.

PC is at 8% now, so at least i'll have somebody to play with.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Info from the Best Buy chat with the COD-MW2 devs:

Josh111
PC Question... What will the max amount of players per map be for PC multiplayer on IW.net
Vince-IW
9v9

GeneralClean
With the new IW.net, how many players can it support at one time with each server set-up, 8 vs 8, 12 vs 12, 16 vs 16, and how much bandwidth are we talking about per player basis, Upload and Download?
Mackey-IW
The max number of players on all platforms are 1v1 through 9v9. This is the number of players we focused on when we were balancing map size, perks, classes, challenges, etc.

More info here: Post on NVNews forums

Edit: Even better, here's a thread which appears to have the entire chat log. It's spread across several messages, so be sure to scroll down for the remainder: Post on BF2S forums

Edit2: The official transcript is here: Best Buy Forums

 

[stag3]

wow 9v9 is the max?

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

wow 9v9 is the max?

That's about as much as the xbox can handle. Why would they waste resources developing bigger maps to handle more people?

 

[pontifex]

wow 9v9 is the max?

Did you play the first MW? much more than that on the 1st one and it was just retarded.

HAHAH! i was wondering when someone was going to say something about that. seriously, with all the hate for EA here and considering how shit BF2 is, it's funny to see everyone all for them now.

Exactly. You wouldn't WANT to play this with more than 9v9 anyway.

 

[The Boston Dangler]

Exactly. You wouldn't WANT to play this with more than 9v9 anyway.

i consider 26 players the maximum for an enjoyable experience, and no less than 14 maybe 12.

This is exactly how I feel about Modern Warfare 2 and IW:

Enjoy.

I played plenty of times with 12v12 and it was fine, some of the more open maps worked great with more players. On smaller maps though it sucked ass.

If they allowed us to make our own maps still we wouldn't have to worry about being constrained to their map design, but I guess people don't care about that anymore for some reason.

 

[supaidaaman]

I am waiting to buy this now. 9v9 is BS. 12v12 at least. This is garbage.

In case you were in doubt that Activision has nothing but contempt for gamers (and even their own developers), http://bit.ly/2uP8T2

“In the last cycle of videogames you spent $50 on a game, played it and took it back to the shop for credit. Today, we’ll (charge) $100 for a guitar. You might add a microphone or drums; you might buy two or three expansions packs, different types of music. Over the life of your ownership you’ll probably buy around 25 additional song packs in digital downloads. So, what used to be a $50 sale is a $500 sale today.”
...
Activision, Kotick said, has no interest in games that “don’t have the potential to be exploited every year on every platform with clear sequel potential and have the potential to become $100 million franchises.”
...
Talking about upcoming and expensive Activision titles such as Modern Warfare 2, Kotick said: “if it was left to me, I would raise the prices even further.”
...
Maybe the choice quotes of the event, though, came when Kotick talked about Activision’s developers; you know, the guys who actually make the stuff he gets so rich from. You’d think he’d have a bit of respect for them, right? Oh no, Kotick’s goal over the past 10 years has been – you couldn’t make this up – “to take all the fun out of making video games.” How? By instilling a culture of “scepticism, pessimism, and fear” amongst the company’s staff based around the economic depression and an incentive program that rewards “profit and nothing else”.

Yet this company will continue to rake in millions as people continue to buy their overpriced and gimped games because gamers have no principles (don't believe me? Head on over to the CPU forum and see how many people recommend Intel chips despite the large number of enthusiasts swearing to stop supporting such an evil company on principle).

Dude, BF2 was an amazing game, depsite the many bugs. (None of which I experienced... :\)

It is an image of what PC gaming should be, minus the coding flaws. Bad production doesn't mean we can't like a game, and use it as an example by which to just shit ports like CoD:MW2

 

[Coldkilla]

Yea the mods were the only thing keeping me playing, as I completely hate it otherwise.

One/two shot kill, no jumping, one life per round, short sprints. When you can shoot someone in the head once and they live.. I dont even know what to say to that.

 

[minmaster]

Exactly. You wouldn't WANT to play this with more than 9v9 anyway.

does it matter? with everyone canceling their PC orders, we'd be lucky to fill a 9v9 server to its capacity.
