MW2 PC Troubles Start Already - Connection and Migration Issues and the 6v6 MP Surprise

With PC gamers still stinging over the lack of dedicated servers for MW2, more issues cropped up when they went to play the game. Reports of connections issues and host migration issues are troublesome as is the fact that 9v9 online play is not for all maps or game modes.

This got 9.5s hard to believe for a product that is obviously not finished and in the beta phase.

presto7175697d ago (Edited 5697d ago )

Can someone tell me something that acutally improved in MW2 with respect to part 1. Jeez.

god knows MW 2 could pass for a DLC expansion of MW1. Just like they did with ODST. Short a55 campaign, and a few MP tweaks. In this case, MP on part two is even worse.

Failz. Just failz.

Fack you whale(Activision) and a fack you dolphin(Infinity Ward)!!!

GamerPS3605697d ago

Gaming websites became so much joke this generation.
I only trust myopinion.play

Marcello5697d ago

Thats why dedicated servers were invented !!

Yes 9.5 is grossly overhyped, i was bored with the SP within 5 minutes. Seriously the engine is so boringly basic, why do we still have games that use such simple engines when we have the likes of the EGO, Frostbite, Source & my fav the CryEngine. Only good thing this game has is the graphics they are nice but thats it.

I cant wait for BF.BC2 bring it on, IW you can get stuffed !!

Ghoul5697d ago

actually there where standard the last years,
this matchmaking and peer2peer crap is pure bs.

especially on the pc.

evrfighter5697d ago

If there was a pc gamer who visits N4G regularly here b*tching about it. I have no sympathy for you.

I hate to say it but I can't help it - "We told you so.". I bet majority of those people having problems are the ones who called the boycott "stupid & unnecessary". Serves them right if you ask me.

GamerPS3605697d ago (Edited 5697d ago )

I agree. I loved cod4. I bought 2 copies for PS3 (for me and my brother). Then I bought a copy for PC also to play with my PC friends. I played the heck out of it. It's really sad that I have to talk against the franchise I loved.
But, Dev/pub screwed PC gamers over MW2. This is not how PC games supposed to be.

CrippleH5697d ago

Good time to post, most of the kiddies are asleep.

Alastes5697d ago

Honestly I don't know why people are all that surprised. IW knew that MW2 would be one of the biggest video game releases ever regardless of how the game turned out in the end. Everyone likes to think that video game studios are run by cool dudes who like to play games (And to some extent this is probably true) but the fact is they are still a business. They didn't have to cater to the PC gamers because it quite simply did not matter. Why put in the extra time and effort for what is likely to be little additional profit?

In fact, here is a perfect example:

http://www.develop-online.n...

IW had the opportunity to make MW2 basically into basically whatever they wanted. Activision essentially gives them a blank check to ensure that the game is superb. But if the game is going to have record breaking sales regardless then why bother spending all that money when they can stick to a tight budget and make a game that is not by any means terrible (At least for consoles) but by no means superior to the first game.

Of course it may still backfire on them to some degree by hurting their reputation. Then again, they just made bank. You think they give a **** what anyone else thinks?

MajestieBeast5697d ago

They will when no one buys their sh!tty product anymore just look at the medal of honor series just keep rehashing and its bound to bite you in the @ss.

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!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood677d 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

PunksOnN4G676d 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

ManMarmalade676d ago

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

fr0sty676d ago (Edited 676d 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.

StarkR3ality676d 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.

TheColbertinator675d ago

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

PunksOnN4G676d 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

andy85677d ago

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

Jin_Sakai676d ago (Edited 676d 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.

PunksOnN4G676d 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

peppeaccardo677d 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 !

jznrpg676d ago

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

anast676d ago

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