Complaining About Modern Warfare 2 Complaining

"[image]

I've read so many posts of such a batshit, bugfuck nature about this Modern Warfare Server Thing that it's hard to know where to begin. If you are angry at this break from tradition, and if you feel betrayed by these eleventh hour revelations, these are both situated well within the reasonable and comport (by and large) to the known. Do not buy it. Your platform of choice is the most open, universal digital venue on the planet. A suitor will be along presently.

It's not cherry-picking to say that the notion of Microsoft somehow being involved runs deep. You could be charitable and say they mean Infinity Ward was infected somehow by Microsoft's peer to peer vision, but that's not what they're saying. They're talking about literal collusion to bring about the downfall of the PC. Even though Modern Warfare 2 is launching on Steam, leverages Steamworks, and grants Steam Achievements.

Some of the rage is channeled semi-constructively into (not a boycott, per se, but) a redirection of funds from Modern Warfare 2 over to Battlefield 2: Bad Company - a notion that has been cannily seized by the would-be recipient. Battlefield 2 is going to be pretty good, so why not buy it - but let's pause for a moment and really absorb the idea that PC gamers are rallying around a DICE console port in their zeal. Nevermind the fact that you can't host your own Battlefield 2 servers, and that having a dedicated server for the game involves renting it from one of their partners. Maybe they didn't read the FAQ?

I love how everyone's complaining about a system they don't even understand.

Nobody really knows how Modern Warfare 2 is going to handle multiplayer except for Infinity Ward, and without a big-ass audience, it's still just theory for them. I don't care who decided to do what, and how different it is, not until I actually see it. This could be a revolution in multiplayer matchmaking that completely reinvents the way shooters are played. It could chomp beached whale dick. It could basically do nothing differently, it could also take matchmaking to its roots and get you laid, I don't know how, neither does anyone, because it doesn't exist yet.

But here's why I really don't care about how the multiplayer system works: because I don't give a damn about multiplayer. I want a sequel to Modern Warfare, which had such a great single-player game it's even fun to watch someone else play it. I've beaten it many times. Not even in arcade mode or whatever. Just over and over, because the game is so awesome it might as well come with hot pink truck nuts.

and if you don't think hot pink truck nuts are awesome i'm not sure we can be friends"

Yeah well not everyone is as enthusiastic about playing through single player missions several times over and over again. I only personally played through the single player once. Multiplayer is the meat of any FPS its what give it its longevity. No dedicated servers means no Mods or player created maps on pc which is a big staple that makes the PC better than consoles. To me its not that big a deal because those servers don't become that popular anyways for the most part. I just hope they still have hardcore mode in the new game.

Wow your opinion is such garbage no wonders no one has answered you!! Sure I like single player too it was sick! But the fact is that I play modern warfare for its multiplayer the single player is a really nice bonus! No one is going to want to pay $50+ for a 10 hour game without any online team play. My comment is not to defend nor attack the game makers decision to do this but more towards your stupid, stupid point of view, god your stupid i lack the words to say how stupid, stupid you are. Your opinion is such a lopsided idiotic one that does not deserve an answer.
