Originally $1300, just adding what I've put into it over the last two years.

Spoiled? This has never been done before, and with good reason. Is it too much to ask that players are able to run their own servers on the PC in a FPS game? I think not.

Is it really being spoiled when they're removing basic components of a game?

Yes, spoiled.
You people have the mindset that because you play your video games on a computer, that you are better than everyone else and deserve more. Once again, it's IW's game, and they can do whatever they want.
You are not entitled to dedicated servers.
They are making a stupid choice, Ketchup. We're not spoiled, we just like to have things organized and have options, to join what server we want to, to have what mods we want. They treat us like idiots and raise prices. I feel sorry for everyone on consoles, they should have the right to dedicated servers, it's much better then matchmaking.
Why do you guys even care about multiplayer, it's going to be the same old shit of *SPAWN, PUSH G TO THROW GRENADE, GET SPAWN KILLED (OR KILLED WITH A GRENADE), THEN KILL SOMEONE WITH YOUR GRENADE.* CoD2 was the best multiplayer and always will be.
I think it takes the personal element out of owning a server, setting it up the way you want, and having regular people playing together. Now you have to set up fucking parties or have everybody on eachothers friend lists if you stand any chance of playing together.
[editline]08:34AM[/editline]
They will probably consider parties a "working" replacement to the problem.
[editline]08:35AM[/editline]
And I would be so very surprised if they ever put in something that truely helps regulars play together.
[editline]08:37AM[/editline]
And to be honest I would not be at all surprised if they abused this position they hold with servers to make money. Actually I think that's probably the point. They seem to care less about the player when they take this "casual easy" look on it, maybe that's how they see their game, some shit to play for 30 minutes who cares who you're playing with.

Funny how CoD2 is exactly the same as your description.
I must say that casual gamer worshiping and pc gaming discrimination is certainly starting to become tiresome for most of the individuals who can be considered as more experienced/serious pc gamers.
It is also disappointing that actions such as these are mostly done to increase the amount of sales from the main majority rather then to improve the game as a piece of software or as a piece of art, which unfortunately shows that money collection in general stands above the actual game creation and expression of it as art which is theoretically what videogames are in the first place. I by no means want to apply this claim o every individual, or group of individuals that make games, but most of the large corporations that are creating games appear to have "the system of what is important to them" configured in such a manner.
Or maybe the new titles are frequently simplified due to constant complaints from various individuals (such as serious pc gamers) who can often be quite picky and requiring when it comes to videogame creation. Maybe simplified titles are often created to avoid criticism, although such an attempt to avoid criticism often leads to larger amount of it due to a sudden destruction of a possible masterpiece.
Overall there are a definitely a lot more perspectives and difficulties which result in such decisions, but i attempted to list some of the major ones.

They acknowledged it with a BS, fluff response. They addressed none of the complaints that everyone has. What you posted was proof of nothing. For all you know it could easily be for one of their IW.net servers, which more than likely use a collection of rented servers from all over for their use.
Until they say that they f*cked up and dedicated servers are coming, there is precisely jack and squat to go by. Stop assuming.

Wow. I work for MyIS. I'm not "sponsored" by anybody. I think that all thins considered I've remained pretty damn neutral in my news reporting on this crap. If you're going to even attempt to mouth off to me at least know about what you're talking about first. It's also funny how you say my last post was "crying" about anything when all it served was to prove you wrong. As you want to try and twist that around in your favor, this debate died before it ever started.
And unsourced information? The hell do you think I included a large "RUMOR" tag on that news item for? A RUMOR that I still included the original news source for. For the the sake of hilarity? Damn man, you struck out and it's only your second post in response to me. Kudos!

Neutral? Even though you won't report a said rumour just because it's reassuring. Only negativity, nice impartiality there.
And still, your "RUMOR" tagged news post still implied it as fact.

I'm not reporting on that because it's not even up to "rumor" status. Nobody knows that it's the port for a dedicated server just because one guy was running it. Re-read my post explaining this just a bit further up on this page. Once you get done doing that, read it a third time, possibly a fourth. Maybe it'll start to sink in then, but I somehow doubt it.
Secondly, nothing in my delay news thread made it seem like a fact at all. Did my constant use of "rumor", "may", or "are claiming" in the non-quoted part of that news post throw you off? You're incredibly dense and not a very good troll given how easily you're being proven wrong here. Give it up.
Never bothered the Xbox users. People can play competetive fine on xbox.
[editline]11:37AM[/editline]
And they don't even have professionally hosted servers, we get some randomer from wherever hosting the fucking clanmatch, so the result is a lagfest.

Though you didn't use language such as "If true, this will mean that PC owners..." or question the credibility of the source (which had none).
[QUOTE=Fish_poke;17934936]In all of these threads, I just find more and more butthurt PC fanboys. SERIOUSLY, DEAL WITH IT. Consoles have had matchmaking since PS2. I think you guys should have the same experience we do. Plus, you guys have lean. Lean is important to me :([/QUOTE]Yeah.....how about you get the fuck out this thread before you have an army on your ass. I think that consoles are inferior to PCs cause the consoles are limited to where the PCs are not. Do you think I could type a statement like this on xbox live? Fuck no!!! Plus all of the accessories are fucking expensive and I have to PAY to play my games online even if I already have an internet. Its not our fault that we just "happen" to get extra content, but hey we have modders and people who customize the game to great extents. It doesn't always work out but some people truly make the game incredible. I tell you what, I'll agree with your statement after Japan takes every little game remake they've ever done and released them in the rest of the world which (as we all know) will never happen.

We are better than console users. You guys let yourself be bullied and pushed around by developers for far too long. What 100,000 people and still growing are bitching about is stuff that you people live with because you let it happen. We like being spoiled, so why not defend it? You obviously aren't a true PC gamer if you don't think this is a huge pile of rubbish, so I suggest you stop trying to sound educated.

My apologies. I hadn't realized you need to have one simple and very unnecessary phrase added before you'll understand that a clearly marked rumor is, in fact, a rumor. I'll be sure to spoon feed you the news so that you don't get confused when rumors are clearly labled as "rumors" in the headline and in the tags. I'll also be sure to step up the usage of the qualifying terms "may" "may have" and "are claiming" so that you don't overlook them in the future.
Perhaps the news should have read:
[quote][Rumor] Modern Warfare 2 Delayed on the PC, THIS IS A RUMOR!!!!
IF TRUE THIS RUMOR MAY In what seems to be a growing trend these days for games may have claimed another victim WITH ITS RUMOR SCARE. Electronic Theater is claiming that the PC version of Modern Warfare 2 has been delayed until November 24, two weeks after the game's scheduled release on consoles. BUT THIS IS A RUMOR. LET'S NOT FORGET THAT!
<Quotesnip>
FOR THE MORONS OUT THERE THIS MEANS THAT IF THIS RUMOR IS TRUE, PC owners may have to wait to experience Modern Warfare 2 and pay a premium of $10 extra over the "normal" price of a PC title. THAT $10 PREMIUM ISN'T A RUMOR. THAT'S REAL, THE REST OF THIS IS 100% PURE RUMOR. How does that make you feel KNOWING THAT YOU MAY HAVE JUST READ A RUMOR?[/quote]

I have to agree with him. There are just some devs out there that want you to play the game they want it to be, and if you don't like it, don't fuckkin buy it. Half of the people who signed this petition will still play the mp.
