[QUOTE=Zips;17884071]Because like with all things it's possible they'll change their minds prior to the game's release based on the sort of feedback I'm sure they're going to see here. However, all the facts are as printed as they came directly from the CM of IW, Robert Bowling. Must you threadshit?[/QUOTE] I don't recall him saying "Competitive play is dead". I'm not threadshitting, I'm asking you if you think you are posting a news article.
[QUOTE=Zips;17884071]However, all the facts are as printed as they came directly from the CM of IW, Robert Bowling. Must you threadshit?[/QUOTE] I don't believe Rob actually said that mods weren't possible, or that competitive play was dead, or that multiplayer was, indeed, ruined.
Go ahead Zips, do you think you are posting a news article, or a biased opinion article?
If they're sticking to the Steam way of games then WHY DISSALOW FUCKING MODDING AND DEDICATED SERVERS AND MAKE DLC PAYING-REQUIRED?
I don't know where this "No modding" thing is coming from. Infinity Ward is still using their Quake 3 derived engine which means it still uses .pk3 or .pk4 files.
Well....... fuck. I've been with COD since the BEGINNING! THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME FOR BUYING EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR GAMES? HUH??
[QUOTE=thisispain;17884351]I don't know where this "No modding" thing is coming from. Infinity Ward is still using their Quake 3 derived engine which means it still uses .pk3 or .pk4 files.[/QUOTE] Well, in theory, since they're requiring the use IWnet all Internet servers, then potentially you won't get the option to use mods on your own listen server. However, Rob simply stated in the webcast that he didn't know, so at this point it's all speculation.
Whatever computer is running the server should have the option of using mods. Neither the article nor the webcast is even clear on this matter.

[I]Nobody said that we were talking about the whole game modding. Just the multiplayer modding as there will be no dedicated servers.[/I]
I'm glad I don't give a fuck about CoD. I could never get into the series.
[QUOTE=Stopper;17882918]Way to go motherfuckers. Way to go on the platform that made your ga-. Scratch that - Your GOOD game, which deserved it's glory, famous. Way to go and ruin it for us you filthy shits. If it wasn't for the PC, Call of Duty would've been successful at all. It would've been [B]DEAD.[/B] I hope their company president suffers from an insult and remains a vegatable for the rest of his pathetic fucking life![/QUOTE] Haha like the CEO made these decisions, try not to get too butthurt.

[QUOTE=markg06;17884517]Haha like the CEO made these decisions, try not to get too butthurt.[/QUOTE] He approved them.
Like I said in the other thread, I think this is just bullshit like the delay. It seems like only the really obscure sites get the info first, later turning out to be not true.
[QUOTE=KommradKommisar;17884372]Well....... fuck. I've been with COD since the BEGINNING! THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME FOR BUYING EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR GAMES? HUH??[/QUOTE] How cute you think that IW owes you something.
[QUOTE=thisispain;17884554]You aren't as clever as you think you are.[/QUOTE] I'm going to stop here (Don't worry, I have more witty comments in my sleeve) so we don't get banned.

[QUOTE=Zips;17883877]What the hell are you talking about? Try listening to the stream before making such BS claims.[/QUOTE] haha zips is a liar

[QUOTE=SteveUK;17884576]Like I said in the other thread, I think this is just bullshit like the delay. It seems like only the really obscure sites get the info first, later turning out to be not true.[/QUOTE] You realise they got all that info from Robert Bowling right?
It actually sounds pretty awesome. Not having to deal with half-assed crappy mods or five-year-old administrators or even crappy PunkBuster that can easily be process killed to use hacks. Sigh, PC Gamers [i]always[/i] will complain on any cards they're delt. They either complain about "Omgz!11 TAHT NOOB ADMIN BANT ME 4 KILLIN HIM!11" or "HACKER!!! OMG!!! I'LL GET AN ADMIN TO BAN YOU!"... I'm sure this will get boxed or I'll be accused for trolling (Apparently telling the truth is trolling). [quote]• IW has control of the game -- No noob server owners that have a hair trigger on the ban hammer. • IWnet servers will host multiplayer -- What's wrong? You don't like good servers? • DLC will be a charged item for PC -- 360/PS3 Users have to, what's fair is fair. • No dedicated servers -- I could agree with you on this. However, I highly doubt that they'll have dead nights. After all, CoD4 was a smash hit as far as multiplayer. • Matchmaking system used to play with similarly ranked players -- No Noobs (Or no pros bothering your noob skill)? • VAC instead of PB -- PunkBuster fails. • Semi-capable password servers -- "Capable" is the keyword, "Semi" is to cover theirselves if they [b]FAIL[/b] • Semi-capable ad-hoc servers -- Read above. • Competitive play is dead -- Sounds like an more of an opinion than an actual fact. • MW2 mods would not be possible -- That's a [b]GOOD[/b] Thing. WHY buy MW2 if you don't like the game? • Full integration into Steam -- Steam owns the entire market, It's not a shock. Steam is to PC as PSN is to PS3 and as XBMP is to 360. I don't know how someone could call themself a PC gamer without using steam or having never used it.[/quote] If you really hate it that much, [i]3 Words[/i] - [b]Buy a Console[/b].

[QUOTE=Evil_Toaster;17884012]Whoa whoa whoa, are we judging games before they're released? I thought that was against our religion.[/QUOTE] :nyd: Says the man who was the forefront of L4D2 boycotters on FP. Also, Thisispain, we are allowed to say [I]"Aww the game looks sucky now."[/I] because we wanted to enjoy it.
Ah well, I'm not pre-ordering it any more.
Holy shit thisispain calm down You're starting to push it
I'm going to go get my money back.
Lol
• IW has control of the game: Meh • IWnet servers will host multiplayer: Could be good, means no shitty servers, but on the other hand means no really good, fun, community based servers (like the FP TF2 server is for TF2) • DLC will be a charged item for PC: we had it coming, but no one'll buy it • No dedicated servers: See 2 • Matchmaking system used to play with similarly ranked players: Works on XBox, but will we be able to play with friends/other FPers easily? • VAC instead of PB: Brilliant, punk buster sucks compared to VAC • Semi-capable password servers: semi capable? • Semi-capable ad-hoc servers: semi capable? • Competitive play is dead: not too bothered • MW2 mods would not be possible: BOOOOOOOO!!!! • Full integration into Steam: coolio [editline]10:14PM[/editline] If I was going to get this at all (I may do) I would want it for Xbox anyway so I could play with my IRL friends. Also no one will buy this and they'll blame pirates.
Matchmaking? jesus fucking christ...
