Tomato Posted October 18, 2009 Author Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) WHY IW?!!!!!!!!!! WHY??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so what does this mean for us now? For me it means I might just play CoD4 still after MW2 is released. I did it with WaW, I can do it with this. Also, you can all sign this petition that was set up.

!Chuck4Abuck Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 maybe is just a marketing move but still sign the petition is by 13,828 signatures Quote
-=Medic=- Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 To make it clear here a quote of what we gonna have for MW2 Source Here are the snippets: We're doing a lot on the backend to make the game accessible for everyone. There is no delay for the PC version of MW2 There's prestige mode Jason West at the MP event, said that he was dead on, on the matchmaking servers. We've been building a system on the backend called IW.NET. You are completely reliant on IW.NET. There are no server lists. There are no dedicated servers. You have private matches where you can customize the game You cannot put MW2 on a dedicated server. This is the first time we've ever done something like this and the team has huge plans for what IW.NET develops into. Customizing your game...you have quite a few options in a private match You're getting same game (as in Console), plus matchmaking and private match. Server admin point-of view, NO DEDICATED SERVERS I've summarized some of my own thoughts from the cast here: General IW partnering through Steam is what you will see in the future. Matchmaking is not through Steam, but IW.NET is run in conjunction with Steam. GSP's will no longer be renting out servers. No PunkBuster. VAC will be used as an anti cheat. Retail distribution: Pre-orders will get a disk. Or you could order from Steam. DLC may now need to be paid for - not confirmed. Piracy was only a small reason for going to IW.NET - not the whole reason. Clans: No more clan servers. Private matches, replace clan servers. Listen servers will connect to each other. IW.NET/Steam will replace the community server admin Competitive Gaming Competitive gaming has changed forever. It might be possible in the future for IW engineers to load a "competitive" setting on IW.NET, but it is far from a guarantee, It might also never happen. Modding Modding the game is now very much in question. Fourzerotwo had no info on modding. However, it appears that there will be no mods or maps for MW2. Modding in SpecOps? Unknown. Today our game has changed for ever. What a mess, really annoying to read this, if they not gonna change it (which I doubt 24 days before game release) they go to hell I'm keeping COD4 for Multiplayer Quote
!Chuck4Abuck Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 dude yea mess in a half , maybe they release a dedicated server patch , i was so goin to by this game but now ima wait a bit , i ratter play in a clan server then steam Quote
Bananahammock Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 dude yea mess in a half , maybe they release a dedicated server patch , i was so goin to by this game but now ima wait a bit , i ratter play in a clan server then steam My thoughts exactly. Why are devs f***ing with shit thats proven to work. First Blizz now IW. SIGH. Quote
Duckie Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 I signed the petition. Not much else I can do. Its received 4k signatures in the past hour so thats good Quote
Malokyte Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 I blame casual gamers for this blatant stupidity. CoD is a competitive series and should stay that way <.< I still hope that this is either a horrible, horrible dream, or that Activision is playing a premature April Fool's joke. Quote
w!key Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 *sigh* First it was Wolf 2 failing hard, with this announcement I am not interested in MW 2 if they keep it that way, the only hope I have left is Diablo 3 or L4D2. Quote
