Modern Warfare 2

[delanvital]

Well I was going to preorder this the other week, seems pretty clear now though: if you love PC gaming then the only thing you can do is boycott this tragedy of a game.

Either way the PC market is going to get screwed though - if people buy it, they'll claim it's a sign that PC gamers want this kind of console system - if not, they'll claim poor sales indicate a dying market and use it as an excuse to shaft us with even less support next time.

A tad off-topic: If what keeps so many from us leaving Windows, is gaming, why is Microsoft so interested in moving gaming to the consoles? Better short-term profit? With cloud-computing, netbooks on various others OS's, phones running Android and Symbian etc...

Just listened to the "Fourzerotwo (iw moderator)  interview" on the BASHANDSLASH webcast and its not all bad news
Here are the snippets:

We're doing a lot on the backend to make the game accessible for everyone.
 There is no delay for the PC version of MW2
 There's prestige mode
  Jason West at the MP event, said that he was dead on, on the matchmaking servers. We've been building a system on the backend called IW.NET.
 You are completely reliant on IW.NET. There are no server lists. There are no dedicated servers.
 You have private matches where you can customize the game
 You cannot put MW2 on a dedicated server.
 This is the first time we've ever done something like this and the team has huge plans for what IW.NET develops into.
Customizing your game...you have quite a few options in a private match
You're getting same game (as in Console), plus matchmaking and private match.
Server admin point-of view, NO DEDICATED SERVERS

from what i gather we will be able to run PRIVATE matches, invite dmw members to it,  will be able customise the game to our needs (perks..respawn time... helli's...etc)
but these PRiIVATE matches would be run from your own pc.
they were saying it may be posible to run these games from a server with a graphics card installed, but only time will tell if this is case.

intresting inteview :g:

I'v seen the key points on that too. But http://www.infinityward.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=125736

And having tried the almost same system in OFP : DR that they are going to use in MW2, it is not a good system I can say that :sideways:

Also one thing is that this IW.net that we need to use to be able to play is probably going to be in USA, so what about the lag and when a Malysian player connects with 4k ping what happends then ?

very good point, but i would think they would have to have iw.net servers all round the globe or it just would work  :eyebrow:
