[url]http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=225716&site=cvg[/url] [quote]Infinity Ward has responded to the now 88,000-strong Modern Warfare 2 PC petition, promising fans that their outcry "won't be ignored". Yesterday's petition, in case you missed it, was sparked after it emerged that the PC version of the Modern Warfare sequel will ditch dedicated server support for more console-like matchmaking. "[It] definitely made a big wave, and the response will not be ignored. I'll ensure everyone at IW sees the petitions and responses to it," community man Robert Bowling promised via Twitter. As some clever chap pointed out on the comments yesterday, the 'bring back Wispa' petition worked, so why can't this?[/quote] Who said Petitions never work?

Late or what. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Why Reply?" - Greeman))[/highlight]
Not going to do shit. They're just trying to improve their public image. But its not working.
105 Thousand signatures now. Eep.
Why would anyone even want matchmaking? The Halo matchmaking is the worst idea ever. You can't even decide which map or game mode you want to play.

[QUOTE=johanz;17931173]Sucks for you.[/QUOTE] Indeed.

Could IW be trying a dedicated server? There was someone in there until the wee hours...
Why did they even partner up with IW, What the hell went through their mind. I don't get it, could have they not think this through?
Nutjobs, Infinity Ward are really good developers, i hope they figure this nonsense out before release, otherwise IW go down the shitter, so to speak
I want the fucking night vision goggles. But fuck I'm poor.

I don't see why so many people are pissed off, I like the machmaking feature, it doesn't require people to make games, which results in more full games than empty servers crowding up the list.
Heh, it grew by 20,000 signatures on the same day of that post

Most clan servers are full 24/7, my clan goes on every week for a fun game with the rest of the BF2142 community and gets filled up, it's all about choice.

No dedicated servers would be annoying, on pretty much any multiplayer FPS I have played I always found a server and called it home, on DODS I always played on TheSmokinNoons as they were my clan, we had our own dedicated clan made maps, awesomely funny admin mods and everything. I play a lot of TF2 now, mainly play the GTFO server, although I would like to find a more interesting server. But to the point, dedicated servers are why I buy the PC versionsof most games :)
[QUOTE=venn177;17931643]Customization. Do you like it?[/QUOTE] I don't. I prefer to play online games vanilla. I hate playing on modded servers in ANY game, and games that have a delicate balance like TF2 are overrun with shitty modded servers. Thank God Valve added official dedicated servers to L4D, or else it'd be almost unplayable with the multitude of shitty modded servers on there. Honestly, IW should just do both. Matchmaking function for those who want it and dedicated servers for those who want that. Satisfy everybody.
fuck matchmaking
They did this on purpose so the game got more attention.
Petitions always work right guys? :downs: Only reason they replied about it is to give all the nerds false hope.

I looked up Freelancer 2 and I see nothing about a petition for the game
Now lets put up a petition for free DLC.

Matchmaking haha oh wow
[QUOTE=aman III;17932024]Petitions always work right guys? :downs: Only reason they replied about it is to give all the nerds false hope.[/QUOTE] Read the other posts It's an attempt to get publicity for the game, so more people take notice.
[QUOTE=mgear;17931550]I want the fucking night vision goggles. But fuck I'm poor.[/QUOTE] Sadly there are no goggles bundled with the PC version of the game :(
