Meh, I won't be playing the PC version. So this doesn't effect me, it actually sounds like a smart thing to do, keeps pirates at bay!
so me = Not signed.

Besides, you can LAN over the internet, it's just a little difficult. but there are free programs that do the work for you.

Do you even know what the point of LAN is? Apparently not, going by your response.

The point of a LAN is to link two or more systems/PCs together. Usually this term is most heard in PCgamer circles and is often done so that friends can play co-op or against each-other.

I don't think YOU know what the point of a lan is.

False. It's to get sub 50 ping. Which you can't do with internet. It is the most important part of tournaments too. Then again I didn't expect you to actually know what you were talking about.

Didn't sign.
Used to play CoD1 on PC years back.
Never bought a CoD game on PC since that one, been buying consoles.

Reason I didn't sign is because we've been playing on non dedicated servers on consoles, it isn't all that bad, we've had to deal with it, so why can't you? Just get over it.. Such a stupid reason not to buy the game.

How to phrase this.

Suppose that they took out, on consoles, the ability to play with your friends list, so you would have to hope you were just placedi n the same game as a friend by sheer chance.

That's fairly equivalent - the removal of something that is intrinsic to our current understanding of what constitutes these experiences.

Some Wii fans are totally fine with SD graphics, so if the graphics of an HD multiplat (Wii+HD) game were the same as the Wii's, can someone say:

"... It isn't all that bad, we've had to deal with it, so why can't you? Just get over it.. Such a stupid reason not to buy the game."


It doesn't make any sense to settle for less than what is already standard.

WRONG, you CAN get sub 50 ping, if everybody in your LAN has good internet and/or are close together. Anyway, I guess people who lan are not interested in gaming, just oogling their ping levels...seriously, get a clue.

I usually get sub 50 ping on L4D dedicated servers. Normally around 30.

Consistantly though?

Right now going on lan between my 3 comps in uT2004 I have 9 ping on the highest one, and that's using a wireless, not ethernet. There is no way to reachtht on the actual internet.

yes, actually there is. When I used XBC there were times I was getting around 38 ping consistantly. Even still, this is irrelevant to the initial response I made, because having good PING is only a bonus of LANing, not the purpose of doing it.
