Ok...I may sound like a total n00b here, but how is not having dedicated servers a bad thing?

Well this move just makes the argument stronger that developers are focusing mostly on next gen consoles for games perhaps because of the piracy issue that keeps affecting sales of PC games, especially when it comes to popular FPS games like COD. Consoles are easier to game on when it comes to online play, as any next gen console owner will tell you. Pick up, log in and play. No arranging servers, voice chat, etc.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #204 on:** October 17, 2009, 07:54:52 PM »

OK, now that I've done some 'required reading', I can weigh in on this...

Infinity Ward HAVE to be MAD IN DEY ASS to not have dedicated servers for a game such as this.
Now we will have to rely solely on the host's connection/bandwidth to determine how well it runs online!!?
Believe me, I have experienced firsthand how this goes on the consoles, and it aint cool. You have lag and more lag,
and of course, the host always has a 'ping advantage'.

This is essentially a SLAP in the face for PC gamers. IW have, in one fell swoop, 'consolised' the PC version with that move.
Now I'll admit, getting online to play with a console is WAY easier, but PC gamers are used to the hassle of starting up their game
and browsing the serverlist, where you can check your ping beforehand and join whichever server you think will run smoothly.

Wow, I can predict a veritable $#!T-STORM of protest from the PC community when this one drops.

Well look how I not running down the PC version again. This one sucks BIG time.

WTF is their end game? What do they hope to achieve by crippling the capabilities of the PC version. Dont give me the "they doing it cuz pc players pirating" line, because they spending MORE to maintain all them dedicated servers than have people put up their own servers. I just dont understand the logic. And NO mods? Next thing we go hear they make it so that you HAVE to use a controller to play on pc, the max pc res is 1280x720 or they abandoning a pc version altogether.

F*** that. I go wait till it reach $5 on steam in ithe next few months when they realise that nobody buying it. I'm certain a lot of their purchases on the PC side is because of that fact that it holds features and abilities that are unavailable on the consoles. Take THAT away, what do you get.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #207 on:** October 17, 2009, 08:50:38 PM »

...and is not even IW that paying for them servers. All they do is list em in the server browser.
Is hardcore PC gamers (like myself, and the goodly Captain) and clans that PAY to maintain a good server with decent ping, and the ability to customise
it how you want. Now you will have to wait on this 'matchmaking' to throw you into whatever server it feels like.

Hear nah man, the PC online gameplay for this game will be REAL stress. I wonder if IW REALLY test out this thing to understand the
implications of what could happen?

...and don't forget, the price is 60 US too. That is console price. Is better I just get the console version and done then. Lawwwwwd.

My fellow Xbox Live players always used to wonder why I would never play COD4 with them. Now you know.
The PC version is superior. Full stop. That is no longer the case with this game. Therefore I am officially striking this version from the 'Future New Hoss' list.

...and IW's forum is ablaze with protest and condemnation. Just check out the following threads...

58+ pages of disappointed gamers....in ONE DAY ALONE...plus I counted at least 18 people who said they have cancelled their pre-orders. They HAVE to realise that they just blew off 90% of their PC audience.

Off my Amazon wishlist, into my utorrent download list. Main reason I buy a game is for its online component. With that pretty much f**d to hell, i'll just mellow myself with some single player action and buy it legit when it gets cheap.

This game was turning out to be a major pc hit.
Tonnes of people I know who've only pirated pc games in their life were going legit for this one. And with this news, big 180.

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #211 on:** October 18, 2009, 07:47:02 AM »

Lenghty, but worth a listen.

All the confirmation I need.

one question what do they mean by competitive play is dead?

rb · « **Reply #214 on:** October 18, 2009, 10:55:03 AM »

Mods such as pro mod were used in leagues like CAL to make the game "more suited" for competitive play ie team restrictions on weapons, use of specific perks etc that were taken care of by the mod. Since they declared that no mods will be possible the balance will be left to IW and that didn't work out so well in COD4 hence the reason stuff like pro mod were created.

Trinitus · « **Reply #215 on:** October 18, 2009, 11:00:42 AM »

hmmmm.....this scary no mc, but where the source of this info come from anyway was this a IW official statement, I really hoping not!!! I know ppl who pirate copy de 1st MW and dey going legal now

Arcmanov · « **Reply #216 on:** October 18, 2009, 11:09:27 AM »

OK, that statement 'competitive play is dead' is a bit much, but because there are to be no dedicated servers,
you cannot streamline your matches, and for example, make a hardcore server and exclude the use of certain abilities/perks/weapons
that may give certain players an advantage. Being able to tweak your server like that forces all players to 'step their game up'
so to speak, and not rely on a grenade launcher, or claymores for example.

This forces people to become more creative in their play styles, and by extension, the community becomes way more competitive.

With this new model, how do you set up clan matches and tournaments if the matchmaking system just arbitrarily puts you in a game
with other unknown players?

I use my gaming PC primarily for FPS games, and I was looking forward to purchasing the PC version, so I AM 'taking this on',
and I will voice my opinion with my wallet. It is as simple as that.

Long live CoD4.

...and refer to Capn's last post. These statements on the changes came from the mouth of IW self.
