yes

wow, just wow

Bad luck, magtrev.

There will be NO dedicated servers or mods for the PC version.

**** you console gaming. Why can't we peacefully coexist?

Hopefully it's just an Activision thing to reduce piracy (making people choose the console version over PC version) and not a sign of the future.

IW forums in meltdown over that

quite funny actually

 

[scooterb]

This could be the biggest arse-raping in the history of video gaming.

IW wait for millions of people to preorder it and then 3 weeks away from release they drop that load of shit.

Treyarch > Infinity Ward.

Holy crap! 4Chan has taken over IW forums.

The internet is in a bad way at the minute...

Check out this on the IW boards. So true.

Wow wonder if they've banned a few IP's on internode. Went on IW forums and got this.

You have been permanently banned from this board.

Please contact the Board Administrator for more information.

A ban has been issued on your IP address.

The linking rules only apply to news articles if someone could quote it for me.

Same thing happened to me on aflfooty2009.com ant. Perhaps IW's boards are administered by sooz

I'm a casual PC gamer, pretty much all my online gaming over the past 2 years has been given only to COD4 on the Internode servers.

I have basic needs for online gaming.
One is lag free or minimal lag (I had on average 50 - 60 ping on Internode servers, I wouldn't really want much or any worse)

The second is a system for my friends to quickly and easily join into a game that I'm participating in and vice versa, even if we change games or servers at any given point in time for some reason.

Now I don't understand completely the full story with this IWNet business that is supposedly replacing dedicated servers and I'll wait a week or 2 longer until more light is shed on the matter, or perhaps someone here can better inform me on all the minor details of it.

But put simply if these 2 things can not be consistently achieved then I'll have to cancel my pre order and pirate the game for single player purposes. I'm not paying $100 for a broken online multiplayer experience.

I'm not confident in this new system as yet, I'm presuming we'll all be connecting to the US for IW's system.

 

[scooterb]

I'm guessing that a lot of PC players will stick with CoD4 now.

I can't believe that IW has taken a step back....

Whered you get that idea.

Its just the local region search function that isnt being built in to the PS3 game.

Sorry was refering to PC, couldn't stand to play MW or MW2 on a console...

 

[AG]

3rd person is a good add on to give people the choice. Hopefully the multiplayer maps are good.

 

[Ochre]

Hopefully the multiplayer maps are good.
