The Modern Warfare 2 Boycotts and Petitions Are in Full Swing

That's going like 30 times faster than the L4D2 boycott. And I agree with the PC community.
I actually agree with this one. The L4D2 boycott was retarded, but IW fucking deserve it.

I never knew games could become so serious.

Maybe because they're taking our cries to help and shoving them up their arses whilst laughing at us? They're actually censoring the petition threads and trying to ignore a community wide mayhem.

All so they can get more profits at minimum effort
The L4D2 boycott was slightly more two-sided, this is just a spit in the face to EVERYONE.
Holy shit, their forums are in a [b]massive[/b] shitstorm right now. And mods are deleting every thread regarding the news.

It's like this game becomes the most pirated game ever.
Two times the amount of pirates that downloaded Spore. I wonder what IW would say about that.
idiots, its only a fucking video game, boo freaking hoo.

[QUOTE=usaokay;17904146]The executive producer of the Battlefield franchise just announced that they will have Dedicated Servers for Bad Company 2!

Good play. Its the other war game I was thinking of getting.
Since I don't know much about this you can rate me dumb, but is it possible to get dedicated servers for consoles, I'm pretty sure BFBC2 won't be able to run on my computer and I've never really liked matchmaking. COD4's was ok in the sense that I could just click and I'd normally find a server, but GTA IV's was terrible, half the time I get disconnected before I joined a server.

Aren't you the one who always bitches and bitches about Fallout 3 sucking because Bethesda made it?!

Oh yeah and SR2 matchmaking was ridiculously dumb. First of all it didn't even show you who you were playing with in the lobby. Then people drop in and out like flies with ADHD, then when it finally sets, it shows you who you're playing with, then another few drop out, then it waits again, then it kicks you off multiplayer. I was able to play one round of multiplayer in the 3 months I've had SR2 and even with all the effort it took to log on the multiplayer wasn't fun. It was 2 against 4. And my teammate was afk so it was really 1 against 4.

I'll give IW some time to give an explanation but if they don't I may just get Dragon Age instead and wait for a price drop on MW2. I can always get cool concept art from the Guild Wars team and the art book they made for Guild Wars 2. Hell, that book costs 28 bucks for over a hundred pages of art. MW2's artbook costs an extra $20 for like 30 pages of art.

No, I bitch about it being a bad game, and I never boycotted it either, because I know boycotts never work.
33,000 sigs wow
Honestly like what I said about the L4D2 boycott, it won't work from a monetary standpoint.
L4D1 sold about $125 million. The boycott, at most, could drop sales by $1 million.
This is similar, even though more people are signing up the ratio of money lost to money gained probably won't change IW's minds if you just look at money.
At this point there are 33,000 signs. If it goes at the rate of L4D2 boycott's rate, it'd reach maybe 100,000-120,000. They'll lose about 7.2 million. Now judging from the previous game's sales, lets say this in total reaches 10 million sales. They'll make 700 million dollars with 10 million sales.
Now from a community stand point, they should at least give an explanation. From there we can judge whether it was a valid point or not and if they should keep it or change it.
I love how, what these people who start boycotts don't realize, is that the people at Infinity Ward/Valve/Any company besides EA have to make a living too, so they're not going to just like drop the game/a concept in the game. All of these boycotts are such bullshit anyway.

You're still crying over a fucking video game, yet you condemn us for being disappointed at this news and actually taking some form of action? Quit being a jive turkey, fool.
A boycott for a sequel to a game that was given universal acclaim and numerous awards...
What a bunch of fucking idiots.

That's being dumbed down for consolefags and pretty much turning away the audience that brought them up to where they are now since the beginning.
You don't read, do you?

Way to read the thread.
Multiplayer sucks anyway. Just a bunch of noobs acting like idiots and screaming over the mic.
Singleplayer is the only good thing about this game. I couldn't care less if they get rid of multiplayer, I just want singleplayer with a good story and good graphics.

That's the main reason why dedicated servers are needed. So clans or groups of friends can get together on their own server and have fun.
[QUOTE=Snake31;17893244]I'm buying it for xbox so I don't really care, lol.[/QUOTE]
Me too.
I mean really, none of my friends play PC. I'm the only one that does. Plus, all I have right now is a shitty laptop from 2 years ago.

well anyway i now have $60 to pre-order L4D2 instead of this shit.
You know how there's battle.net for blizzard and Blizzard is now run by Activision. Maybe Activision is pushing that same type of network for MW2, which is why IWnet is being formed.
[editline]07:23PM[/editline]
Also I like the console wars going on in the IW forums.
[editline]07:25PM[/editline]
And at least the petition on the IW forums sounds reasonable. Unlike the L4D2 one. Or the sense I was getting from some of you guys.
L4D2 has brought a whole new class of idiots who think they can change a game by whining.
