24
With people still up in arms about the lack of dedicated servers in the PC version of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2," we spoke directly to Robert Bowling at Infinity Ward to get his final word on the matter. You can see his response above, but the general theme seems to be: Wait and see.

If Infinity Ward doesn't ditch Activision soon, they're going to become as evil as Activision. If they stick with them, then I have mistaken IW as yet another Dev Company who has lost the will to care about what the community REALLY thinks of them. People have been BEGGING for dedicated servers in MW2 since the end of COD4. "We listen to the community..." Sure you do.

Well, let's just hope IW and activision learn from their mistakes huh?

Cause, I would naturally think (given the way pc gamers are), that mw2 will have record breaking piracy. And they'll know the reasons behind it, justifiable or not.

So, let's just hope they get made an example of and learn from the experience.

Sure.

Then IW and Activision will have no objections to "waiting and seeing" if they get my money or not.

1.4 - All of those pitching a fit from the PC side...
Makes me wonder who's voice is the loudest. Those that actually bought the PC version of COD4 or those that pirated it...

http://www.gamepro.com/arti...

Seems to me that Infinity Ward is trying to protect their game from idiots that pirate games and for those who honestly bought the game, well they get stuck with no dedicated servers. Folks should be pissed at the pirates, not the company trying to protect their product.

@1.4. Sure, I can agree with that. But if that's the case come out and say it. I haven't heard anyone from IW say they're doing it to counter piracy.

It's just another pile of sh*t that IW conjured up to "try" to appease gamers. IW, whatever you're trying to do, IT'S NOT WORKING.

WTF?! I got an ad about skincare or something from Beyonce. Bowling + interview = Loreal apparently.

To me, everything that comes out Kotick's and Bowling's mouths is pointless and the way they're avoiding giving out answers isn't helping.

Wait for the game to come out. IW has prided themselves on using gamer feedback to make MW2 better than MW. Play the game, and then tell me their listening to the customers is crap.

7 - fail
The only reason they're saying this is because, that if you try it out, it'll mean you'll have bought the game. Ergo, they get your money... After that they won't care.

7.1 - Well Staude
your right there,no argument with that comment. My only issue is that if IWNET fails, they will deal with it.It is in IW's best interest to try this out to test the waters. Bubbles and an agree for you.

Or you can just rent the game! or wait to see what everyone that plays the game has to say about it! See if you go with the first option, then they dont get your money, blockbuster or whatever service you would use does! Just stop b*tching!

It's not just dedicated servers. It's Mod support, price hike, 9 vs 9 cap, and an all around console approach to the PC version.

8.1 - Yeah....but
Without IWNET...those other things disappear as well. So really dedicated servers are the sticking point...or the linchpin.

"We listen to the community..." The community IS talking, but I don't think you're really listening. I call this 'lip-service'. I'm going to go with BC2 because DICE is a company that actually listens to their community.
