[narcossintese]

Any PC go'ers wanna make a online Sneap clan when this comes out?

I plan on getting it.

Just got an XBox three weeks ago and I've been playing CoD4 for the last week or so xBox live ID is Saculus AOD.

I'm not that good yet.

Sad that they totally nerfed the PC version: http://csnation.totalgamingnetwork.com/forums/showthread.php?t=180393

They're trying to keep the experience consistent across all platforms, which is understandable, but hopefully it's not a step that all developers are going to take with their PC versions.

Still debating whether I'm going to get it on PC or 360.

i was excited for this game all year to have to most devastating news in my personal gaming history come about the pc version not having dedicated servers and mod support, so fuck you IW and fuck this game, thank you for killing what we love about online pc gaming.

just checked, online petition is 85K+ signatures now, so i hope this gains some interest.

i have been a cod player from the beginning and i would like to kill the idiot that thought this would be a good idea.

I like COD very much...we even did a few LAN-matches at work
Since 2 months I got a PS3, but I'm so bad in playing shooters with the ps3 controller.

When you're used to mouse + keyboard,
I think it's very hard to switch.

What are your experiences?

Cheers, Markus.

The dedicated server part sucks, but I kind of like not having mods. From my experience it splits the community and makes a pain to find good matches. I even hate how popular the "hardcore mode" of CoD4 got, as most of my country servers use it. I remember how UnrealTournament sucked with every server running a different mod, maps and mutators, and you had to download a shitload of files just to enter on a different server. That's one of my favourite things on Xbox Live. Everybody with the same software and hardware.

I ain't buying this one now for damn sure
Fuck you IW. If it wasn't for the PC community you would be nothing and now you're fucking us over.

Whats a dedicated server anyway?

found this, a petition for a dedicated server thing...PETITION

 

[narcossintese]

Dedicated servers are those running on a dedicated machine. I mean, not like a dude on a computer hosting the match while he´s playing on it. Dedicated servers have better performance, usually are 24/7 on air (even when it´s empty) and you can always find one close to your location, which means better ping and less lags.

 

[Notuern]

Yeah.. not having support for dedicated servers is just absolutely retarded. :/

Not really... they only sold half a million copies for PC, and the other 12.5m were sold on consoles

It even said right in that article that up to 60% of people playing on PC were using pirated copies, so I'd say it's the PC users that fucked themselves over

COD1 was released exclusively on PC in 2003, and were very successful thanks to the PC community. They wouldn't be where they are today without that.

90% of servers check your CD key, very few servers are cracked.
Saying "YEAH BUT THERES LOTS OF USERS PLAYING ON PIRATED COPIES" is pretty much bullshit nowadays. Devs seem to have this idea in their head that for every ONE legit copy bought there's 20 people using pirated copies. According to X-Fire, there's nearly as much time spent playing CoD 4 as there is time spent World of Warcraft. Think about how huge WoW's community is then think about how big CoD 4's is in comparison. I'd dare to say CoD 4's PC community is a fair bit smaller. Add into that the 90% of servers doing checks for legit cd keys so I'm just wondering where the fuck this ridiculous figure of 60% figure comes from.

It takes 5 minutes of research to realise devs talk out of their ass when it comes to piracy figures.
When something fails on PC or doesn't get the warmest reception ever, it gets blamed on piracy, always.
CoD 4 is one of the most well respected, most played games on PC. PC gamers have supported the CoD franchise since the start and it wouldn't still be around if it wasn't for the PC Community's support.

IW fucked PC users over big time and they're now backpeddaling without any truly good responses to the issue.
IW have even responded to all this uproar it's caused within the community. FourZeroTwo posted a twitter thing saying it won't go ignored and that all IW employees will see the petition or some shit.

Trawl a couple of gaming news sites for all of 5 minutes and all the info is there in the articles and discussions.

I don't think is possible, but it would be so cool to see a match between Pc version users and Ps3 version users !
PS3 users fragged all the time lol
Jokes aside, I am gonna order this

 

[GarethSE]

the attempts to connect PC users and console users before haven't really worked well
Quake 3 players on dreamcast could play against pc players, that didnt work
same goes for shadowrun on 360.

 

[IronMaiden15]

I'm actually more interested in Borderlands but it is on my "to get list."

 

[KeithRT99]

I'm having trouble picking where i'm gonna preorder it. Best buy and gamestop are having midnight launches, but amazon and walmart give you 20$ online giftcards(not applicable to MW2) if you order it from them. I can't decide. Do i need to have it at midnight, or can i wait and get the giftcard.

Wow guys there is a level where you are a terrorist shooting up an airport. I felt so weird playing it. I couldn't shoot any of the innocent people running away. It was intense.
