Internet is srs biz! Also uh, I won't judge you because you have MW2 on PC, but I do want to slap you for giving Activision more money for that shitty product on PC.

So your saying Bad company 2 (PC) is better than Killzone 2????????

BC2 on PC is definitely better than KZ2, but BC2 on PC has it's own issues and bugs that need to be fixed.

BC2 is barely playable. You need to be able to chat or in the least, see chat when dead. You need to be able to see other people's classes from the score menu. It needs a server browser that doesn't suck horse balls. Said browser also needs to show your real ping, because I would join a game with 46 in the browser and I have never gotten in a game with less than 100. Which brings me to my next complaint, it needs better netcode because the one they have sucks blue whale dick. I can't fathom how people are play with over 100 ping, this would be unacceptable in any true PC game, also I get disconnected from a server 5 seconds in unless I am patched right into my modem. If I try to use my router I can't stay connected at all at any time of day on any server. I swear, some of the stuff that comes out of my ass has more quality to it than their netcode. Last problem, if they are gonna forgoe the skillful way of playing FPSes with fast gameplay and make strategy and tactics a big deal things need to be balanced. Just like in Starcraft or any other Strategy game everything needs to be balanced, and the way things are currently, they are not.

All that said, it's still better than KZ2.

wait the ping works in your browser? WTF! my issue is that it's still not as good as CS, gun balance and physics are all over the place on PC because of the shitty servers they run, not to mention you can't shoot through walls, realistic my ass, ping gets really shitty and that's everything with online FPS since I've died unloading 3 Saiga shots to somebody's head before at close range that did pretty much nothing due to lag, no auto sigh-in is the most retarded shit I've ever seen, and companies need to start fucking make games that integrate with different friend lists(facebook, twitter, steam, live, skype, whatever the fuck people use,) because I'm sick and tired of having to add people everytime I get a new game and that's plain retarded. 32 player cap is also pissing me off, once in awhile, I'd like to get on 64+ player servers just to have pure chaos but you can't have that shit in this game because EA controls the servers, I hate how restricting PC games are starting to become, and I blame consoles.

I fully agree. How can you not have shooting through some walls? They have had that in a mod over 10 years ago. I do get ping in the browser, but it's really fucked up. Some servers will have 1 ping others like 30, very few are over 100. Then I join and I'm sitting on something along the lines of 158 or so. It's absolutely ridiculous. I also fully agree with the 64+ player limit, the game also badly needs the SDK because the maps are getting old. The game needs a ton of fixing before I can lebel it as anything aove mediocre.

Isn't elitism usually about zomg this looks amazing! instead of input methods? I mean, you can use dual analog on PC if you wish, it's not like people are restricted to mouse and keyboard on PC. ^^;

It's nt elitism if it's measurable and obviously better. Then it's just truth.

Of course I do, it's like those Lamborghini clubs that people wish they were in. Seriously though, aren't we used to most PC gamers being elitists by now? Although in my case, I just state the obvious, it's not like I don't own consoles and enjoy console games. You got your summer cars or bikes, then you got your all weather or winter ones right?

Also you don't see me calling console owners elitist when they start talking platformers, do you?

e·lit·ism or é·lit·ism  (-ltzm, -l-)

n.
1. The belief that certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority, as in intellect, social status, or financial resources.
2.
a. The sense of entitlement enjoyed by such a group or class.
b. Control, rule, or domination by such a group or class.
Or specifically meaning 1 and 2a.
I would bet that a large proportion of posts in this thread would fall into the above criteria, hence elitism.


Tease.

Yeah I guess I am an elitist.

I do feel entitled to games with a good control scheme, with modding tools, usable UIs, good ping scores, dedicated servers, no shoehorned mechanics, etc.

Won't lie there, games that don't have those usually suck pretty badly when it comes to FPSes on the PC. If you don't feel entitled to those features and a few others then you are just a bad consumer and I can blame you for the decline of the shooter genre.
