Unless You're The Host, Your Ping Sucks in MW2 - Polidicks

[QUOTE=bepassley;18346897]my ping is perfect every game so cry some more, you obviously played a game or two with a bad host, it usually gets switched out to a better one a bit after that happens [editline]11:23PM[/editline] yea because a game can "shatter sales records" and be shitty[/QUOTE] Uh yeah, it can if it's been as hyped up as this game has. Think about it for more than half a second.

[QUOTE=Zips;18347060]Uh yeah, it can if it's been as hyped up as this game has. Think about it for more than half a second.[/QUOTE] yeah I did, this is quite possibly one of the best games this year why don't you think about it for more than half a second?

[QUOTE=bepassley;18347119]yeah I did, this is quite possibly one of the best games this year why don't you think about it for more than half a second?[/QUOTE] Yep, GOTY for a 5 hours SP campaign and broken MP. HOTY (Hype of the Year) maybe, but certainly not deserving of GOTY.

[QUOTE=Zips;18347060]Uh yeah, it can if it's been as hyped up as this game has. Think about it for more than half a second.[/QUOTE] this game is amazing, i don't really know what you're talking about

[QUOTE=Zips;18347149]Yep, GOTY for a 5 hours SP campaign and broken MP. HOTY (Hype of the Year) maybe, but certainly not deserving of GOTY.[/QUOTE] the game wasn't made for singleplayer, no recent call of duty was, and the multiplayer is not broke, maybe you should find a better host

[QUOTE=Zips;18347149]Yep, GOTY for a 5 hours SP campaign and broken MP. HOTY (Hype of the Year) maybe, but certainly not deserving of GOTY.[/QUOTE] it's hard to make a 12 hour long game exciting and action-packed. There's nothing wrong with a 5 hour long campaign when it's worth replaying for the experience of it. The MP is far from broken quit whining about nothing.

[QUOTE=ramblingoxen;18347160]the game wasn't made for singleplayer, no recent call of duty was, and the multiplayer is not broke, maybe you should find a better host[/QUOTE] That's the dumbest god damn thing I've ever seen someone say for a game that relies on random P2P hosting for the MP.

[QUOTE=Zips;18347190]That's the dumbest god damn thing I've ever seen someone say for a game that relies on random P2P hosting for the MP.[/QUOTE] the game automatically finds a better host when the host sucks so if you're with a shitty host it shouldn't take that long for it to switch...

[QUOTE=Zips;18347190]That's the dumbest god damn thing I've ever seen someone say for a game that relies on random P2P hosting for the MP.[/QUOTE] get off 56k and you should do fine

Can't we all just agree that switching IWNET was a bad idea and the game would be much better off if it allowed for dedicated servers?

I agree with that above statement. Don't fix what isn't broken.

they should have released the PC version on the 24th like they said, then the lazy fucks could have made decent multiplayer.

itt people defend mw2 because their copy works

The game last much longer than 12 hours, and while it uses matchmaking AFAIK it's far from broken. No waiting a half-hour just to get into the fucking game.

[QUOTE=Zips;18347386]Read the article and buy a clue.[/QUOTE] Buy a clue? The fuck? You're not very good at this are you?

Fucking IW they're all a bunch of Fight against grenade spam

its easy buy a xbox or ps3, as soon as lag starts the host is swapped

imo halo 3 was the best game ever

Is the screenshot key F12 by any chance? thought i glimpsed it looking around. And if so where does the game save them to?

[QUOTE=Zips;18347692][url=http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=buy+a+clue]Obviously not[/url]. :smug:[/QUOTE] That's new to me. I take what I said back.

Game's been fine for me, and I'm on a shitastic wireless connection. I keep hearing people go "FUCKING LAG" in-game, but I haven't seen even a single stutter in my flow yet. Either I'm right on top of one of their servers and it's been picking that server every time, or the bad side of all this isn't as universal as everyone is making it out to be. And [highlight]personally, in my opinion[/highlight], I like this system better. No server-side mods or modified game rules means that the game is balanced and fair every time. I didn't even like Call of Duty until now, mainly because if I tried to play it online (I tried a few times with varying versions of CoD at a local LAN arcade) all I would find were overcrowded servers with spam everywhere. CoD4 came with my graphics card, and I tried to get into that but every server I joined was a clusterfuck. I gave up on it because no matter how hard I tried it just wasn't fun. So far every round I've played in MW2 has been very fun, and I finally have some room to breathe and train without fifty grenades hurtling in my direction at all times. I don't have to worry about picking a decent server, I don't have to worry about getting matched with people who are way too powerful (Does this game have true skill level matchmaking? I never really paid attention.), and I don't have to worry about overcrowding and modified rules. Each map and each game mode play the way they were meant to be played and I love it. I'd give anything to see a system like this for TF2. TF2 is all about balance and teamwork, and a vast majority of server owners have sent that to hell (meaning it's hard to find a good server to just play TF2 the way it was meant to be played). I don't understand IW's decision to move the entire game to this system, though. Why couldn't they just have both? The system's already in place from CoD4, right? If so many of their PC-side fans wanted it, it probably would've been as easy as sticking a "Join Dedicated Server Game" button under the "Join Game" button. Let the people who want to play the game normally play the game normally and let the mod-lovers play their game. And before someone mentions it in regards to "fair and balanced every time": Yes, I am aware that cheating is already happening in this game. That changes nothing, however, because people would cheat on dedicated servers regardless. Just because some admins are around doesn't mean people won't cheat. They'll all be enjoying VAC bans in a couple of weeks anyway.
