I don't think IW will really care because a few kids crying about dedicated servers.
The game still has like over 3 million preorders on consoles alone.

You don't like what they did, fine, don't buy the game.
You already know 50% of the people that signed that petition will buy the game.

Us console players have been playing on P2P for a long time, we don't complain and make petitions about it. I get the one odd laggy game once in a while, so what?

Contrary to popular belief, there are fr more kids playing on the consoles than on the PC. Probably why kids can put up with the lag, grown ups don't have that kind of patience.

Yeah... tell me that when ALL console FPS stop having auto-aim, even in multiplayer. That's skill right there....

I hate auto-aim.  I do better without it.  It's only there to slightly offset the difficulty in aiming with 2 analog sticks.  Like I said it is so much more complicated and takes so much more skill to be good with dual analogs compared to mice and keyboard that they have to implement auto-aim for the noobs or lesser skilled players.  It's always messing me up, though, especially when I am sniping.

I agree with this, dual analog is ass for FPS no matter how good I am with it( and I'm damn good :P ) vs mouse and keyboard, it's simply inferior for shooting games. It's not so much that console players have lesser skills, it's the input that sucks ass cracks to start with. I prefer FPS on PCs for many many reasons and hate the console effect that it brought to PC gaming. One important part is always dedicated servers that you can customize to your needs, better control scheme, better graphics, and absolutely hate how much slower most FPS this gen are because of the speed reduction they have to do with console shooters due to the inferior controls, FPS in general are much slower than what they used to be on PCs because of console popularity and the skill difference becomes not as noticeble since people are used to baby slow speeds.



DS=Dedicated servers people



I think it's brilliant that Torchlight has been above COD6 for the last week or so on the Steam charts. I'm sure the Steam charts are drawn up based on revenue rather than unit sales (which makes more sense), so with Torchlight being only £14.99 compared to COD6's £34.99, it looks like it's selling at least 2.5 times the number of units and probably 3 times as many or more.



Over 181k people have signed the petition!!! This is a success for the PC gaming community, and we are seeing the MW2 sales being affected by Infinity Ward's own blunders. Keep it up!

Why do any of you even bother talking to Shio? That guy knows absolutely nothing about PC gaming. I've been playing on both PC and consoles since before that guy was even born. Plus, MW2 is going to sell like crazy on all 3 platforms so all of this crap is moot...

I do know alot, and I'm correct the vast majority of times. If you are trying so hard to discredit me, maybe you should challenge what I say with well thought arguments, rather than just insulting without adding anything with substance.

Over 186k people have signed the petition against the removal of dedicated servers in MW2!!! It will definitely reach 200k somewhere in the next 2 weeks.



I must be the only guy who loves CoD for what IW is good at: single player. CoD has the best SP campaigns of any shooter series. Bar none.

Battlefield/DICE's games have always been the choice for MP. CoD sucks in MP. Always has, always will. (my opinion only!)



 

Over 190k people signed the petition!! This is a great success against IW and MW2.

I'm not even gonna sign it, I'm not buying it period, Steam is required to get on IW.net so most online DD don't even carry it since Steam is their biggest competition. This game will fail hard on PC, shit is going down, period, I'm glad the console players are getting an awesome game though, it's just not up to my standards as a PC shooter.
