Modern Warfare 2 Limited to 9v9 And Other PC Woes

NG writes:

"Who really needs more than 18 people in one game anyway? Or an ability to pick who is hosting? Or an in-game console? (We know only paedophiles used the console in MW1). Oh, and leaning around corners? A likely story. Only F.A.G.S. used that on PC. Still, it's not all bad news coming out of a developer chat with Best Buy. IW confirmed the PC version is not a port of the console version, citing "mouse control, text chat in game, and graphics settings"."

Wow, they could have just refused to make a PC version if they wanted people to only buy it on consoles.

wardrox5280d ago

I assume there are people who don't check the net to see if a PC game is worth buying who'll waste their money on this.

Mista T5280d ago

it's 10$ cheaper and will run better on a high end PC, what more will you ask for unless your spoiled? I'm a console gamer so I'll get bashed for what I think like usually

nycredude5280d ago (Edited 5280d ago )

Yeah it's $10 cheaper but knowing Activision lately they will probably release dedicated server support in a DLC for $10 shortly after they release.

Edit at below

I don't condone pirating but if any game is deserving of it it's this one. I can totally see this as being the most pirated game ever.

Edit 2 Oh shat I forgot they raised the price. Now I KNOW this will be the most pirated game ever!

Megaton5280d ago

@1.2/1.3 - It's not $10 cheaper. Along with all the feature plucking, they raised the price to $60.

Mista T5280d ago

well then that's F'd up, why the F is it 60$???

Megaton5280d ago (Edited 5280d ago )

It's $60 because Activison feels like it should be. There was also a price hike for the console version in Europe. They're basically just being complete and utter assholes, and know gamers will take it like the sheep they expect us to be.

If you've gotta have the game, buy it used, or pirate it. Though at this point, with 2.5 million sheeple already lubed up and waiting with their pre-orders, it hardly matters. They're still going to be handsomely rewarded with a mountain of money.

toaster5280d ago

Why aren't there more threads about Bad Company 2?

Oh yeah, because good gameplay takes a backseat to hype trains.

JsonHenry5280d ago

Not going to buy this game. Just gonna get Bad Company 2.

badz1495280d ago

I thought they were only removing the dedicated servers support but this? IW should off just make MW2 for consoles! all these make them look like a douchebag even more!

BYE5279d ago

@toaster:

Because

BC2 = Teamplay, Tactics
MW2 = Deathmatch

The masses don't like using their brains when playing a video game.

Elven65279d ago

Remember what happened with Treyarch decided not to make a Call of Duty 3 PC port?

Also, this is ridiculous! Even Perfect Dark Zero on the 360 supported 32 players via P2P and it ran pretty good most of the time. Why don't IW just include it? Who cares if it won't work well for some, don't piss of the audience more than you already have!

Sm0k3y_Bac0n5279d ago (Edited 5279d ago )

@eveyone spitting their dummy out.
If you dont like it then dont buy it.

meetajhu5280d ago

LMAO Killzone 2 16v16 more enjoyment better gfx and sound and gameplay classes,lvlup system etc!! I'll pirate MW2 for PC play Single player and say goodbye to Infinity Ward!

NaiNaiNai5280d ago

Ummm. If killzone 2 is all around better. why get MW2 at all?

Or is killzone really not as good as you preach it is?

Ninjamonkey5280d ago

This is the problem. Its like IW arnt even stepping up to beating other FPS games.

Battlefield's party piece is destructable envoronments

Killzone 2 has brilliant graphics and huge multi level maps (more games should have them)

Resistance 2 has 60 player online and brilliant co-op

Halo 3 has a mix if great vehicles and guns, and great controls

Modern warefare 2? Its got perks but most games have a level up system so really what does the game have that I cant get from killzone 2 or halo 3???

Ninjamonkey5280d ago

Killzone 2 is very good. Not without its faults but a very good online experience.

In Killzone 3 the only thing they need to fix is their classes. The sniper class is way overpowered, its the n00b machine... Go completely invisible and shoot people in the face with a sniper rifle 3 feet away. =S

NaiNaiNai5280d ago

Actually I don't think Killzone 2 is a bad game. I'm just messing with him. :P

If you knew me well enough most of the crap I said is total BS just to bug people. XD

OrganicMachine5280d ago

you haven't played Killzone 2 have you? to think that the Sniper class is overpowered... lol you fool, everybody who play Skillzone 2 will say that the Assault class is overpowered or the Shotgun is overpowered.

srsly dude, play the game that you're trying to criticize

badz1495280d ago

overpowered? you mean 1 hit kill? dude, all sniper rifles in all games do that!

NaiNaiNai5279d ago

Since I have 6 negatives, killzone 2 must suck then?

ForTheFallen5279d ago

The reason you have so many negatives is because you're asking why one should get or really pirate MW2; the single player will probably be really good.

That's why (although I would never dream of pirating) I would, hypothetically, of course, pirate the sh!t out of this game to send a message.

You people need to get a life!!! its a game, play it or dont...i could care less

nycredude5280d ago

What we have a life, as a matter of fact we are gamers and we have many lives.

Just yesterday I was Roland and kicking monster ass on an alien planet looking for a secret vault. The day before I was Nathan Drake searching of Shambala, and before that being a lone warrior trying to save the kingdom of Bolataria was awesome. Next week I'm going to slay Dragons as a Mage.

OrganicMachine5280d ago

coz we played the first game that we loved and now we have a sequel that was gimped and raised the price? does that sound like a good thing to you? buy a game that was before $50 and has everything or buy the game that is $60 and less of what the first one had? be smart

ForTheFallen5279d ago

this isn't just about games anymore...it's about control. IW knows that if they can get rid of dedicated servers, it's only a matter of time before they can start forcing DLC at $10.

It's just incrementalism. Slowly walking us into a new world order...uhh I mean, DLC. lol.

tdrules5280d ago

wow thanks for implementing features that are standard in every pc game since 95.
what next:
KEYBOARD SUPPORT

Charmers5280d ago

Oh god don't give them ideas. I can see IW doing that for the next COD they do "yeah we removed keyboard and mouse support because PC gamers wanted the game to be more accessible". I don't hold out much hope for the future of COD on the PC now. I think IW should just ditch the PC, they obviously have no interest in us PC gamers now and they are doing more harm than good.

evrfighter5280d ago

MW3 will only be playable on an IWcontroller. It'll have a button for shooting and another button for locking on. All in the name of a more "enjoyable experience".

wardrox5280d ago

You forgot the button to buy DLC :P

MetalGearRising5280d ago

Who cares for pc version all the Action will be played out on xbox360 only console to enjoy this masterpiece.

qwertyuiopasdfghjkl5280d ago

Thats just silly. You must be drunk.

CernaML5280d ago

Dear Xbox,

Thanks for gimping our games! =]

DLA2K95280d ago

100% true!!!!! PS3 controller is horrible and PC gaming is laughably lame

randomwiz5280d ago

I prefer pc gaming because you know you're not gonna come across idiots, cause the only people who game on pc's are mature, because they need to afford the pc.

plus pc gaming gives free add-ons, free online play, and awesome custom stuff.

CernaML5280d ago

Because paying more for the game itself, DLC, and to play online is totally radd amirite?

MegaPowa5279d ago

the 360 version? just watch millions of RRODS happen because people played mw2 for so long.

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood253d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G253d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade252d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty253d ago (Edited 253d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality252d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator251d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G252d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy85253d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai253d ago (Edited 253d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G253d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo253d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg253d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast252d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
