That pic is great.


Anyone figure out how to turn off the music yet? It's done by Hans Zimmer once again, so the music is overwhelming and at times, obtrusive. It's hard to hear footsteps and enemy banter when you have some magical brass section blaring in your ears. Nothing kills emersion like an orchestra following you around.

COD4 had a mod that kill its' music. It's awesome. Thanks for another kick in the balls, IW.

But but but! Then everyone wont be on the same level playing field! :roll:

That boycott worked really well.

hey it just means:
-that they were really wise to wait before telling us the bad news
-that not so much people care about missing things
-that whatever's missing, the title still has good points in its sleeve

I think people don't know much about P2P style matchmaking
for now it seems there's a few quirks about it, maybe they'll be able to solve it or maybe not and those will be long lasting issues

and maybe at some point people will become bored of such issues
future will tell

Good points.

From what I've read the game is fun and works well (mostly). However, even if it was voted Most Awesome Game Ever and had zero issues, it's still a significant step backwards in terms of multiplayer technology/features and accessibility (modding). As you noted, the question is "Who knows/cares about it?"

The entirely deceptive marketing campaign by IW is an additional issue.

Speaking of the boycott, apparently i'm e-famous.

I've had probably 7-8 people send me that picture today. 8)

DaFox, thank you for not being a Member of that Boycott and then being caught playing it. Epic toss avoided, shame about the others.

Well done.

EDIT - there was only a small group in that bunch who are playing it.

That's how I roll.

It definitely is a step backwards in terms of PC MP, I just can't understand why people would boycott it when it won't make a significant enough difference to make IW think about going back to allowing dedicated servers.

Yes it's a shit that I can't get a <100 ping. Yeah it's shit I'll have to expect to pay for any future DLC (although personally this doesn't bother me much as I know I've wasted money on far worse things) but doesn't change that it is, in my books at least, one of the best titles to be released this year if not the best.

Currently I have a couple runners for GOTY. Batman Arkham Asylum, Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter IV, Halo 3 ODST, Borderlands, Beatles Rock Band, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II and there's more I can't think of atm and Modern Warfare 2 is well up there for me, if not up the top (still need to play more to properly decide). There are still a few more titles to be released though that could change my mind.

I think you can't know for sure that the boycott ain't gonna have any effect until numbers are out

Considering that over the 2 million copies reserved and 5 million copies sold, only 15% of them were the PC version; IW is not gonna care.

Progress on LAN and dedicated servers...
