Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for PC
AlucardX24 | 8:13 PM on 11.07.2009 12 comments


Something's been bothering me a lot lately. No, it's not that Infinity Ward has "let us PC gamers down" or anything like that. It's the people who are whining about it.

Infinity Ward is not obligated to do anything special for us PC gamers. They don't have to make their game the same way PC games have always been. They're allowed to try new, more successful things for a PC version. What if matchmaking catches on? It did for console gaming. We're always told that PC gaming is dying, and we know it isn't, so we argue the opposite. Yet, we're complaining when a company is trying to help our market be more accessible than having to copy and paste the server's IP to all of your friends and hope the server isn't full. Now, I am a bit upset that mods are disabled and they will be charging for map packs, and I agree that it's a big blow to the PC standard that we can't mod this game. Honestly though, I believe that playing the actual game is enough, and in the end mods have a smaller following than the actual game, so people end up playing the main modes.

So, to all you PC elitists who believe Infinity Ward deserves to be "punished" because they "broke the rules of PC gaming," suck it up, grow up, and:

Cool. I'm not obliged to buy their game either. :)

So, how would you like it if MS decided that they were shutting down LIVE? You wouldn't like it? Well, "suck it up, grow up and arnie.jpg".

Eh, sorry about the bitchiness, as much as I laugh about my "witty" remarks. Having a bad night.
AlucardX24's Destructoid Blog
Don't worry about it. I understand why people are angry. However, if MS decided to shut down Live it would be different, since people are paying a monthly/yearly fee for it. They're bound to payment like we're bound to contract.

The complaints may be a bit loud, sure, but they are to be expected. Compared to the previous game, MW2 has been crippled.
Lurfadur's Destructoid Blog
Well they could have just given the OPTION to use the new matchmaking AND/OR use the traditional dedicated server listing.

i would fap this, but my phone's being crap :(
Magnalon's Destructoid Blog
Read this chart, then reconsider this blog. Zyrs has it down pat: this is a downgrade from MW1 in every sense of the word.

You're actually suggesting that a combination of dedicated servers AND matchmaking is WORSE than just matchmaking? My guess is you've never gamed on dedicated servers before.
Funksy's Destructoid Blog
U sir, are an idiot. "Please, gimp my experience. Force me to play the game the same way consoles do, because that's the standard now. I'll love you for it."

Matchmaking. Sucks. Very large. Balls.

Concerned that people won't be able to figure out how to use a server browser? Than implement a quick play option. There's no reason that matchmaking and dedicated servers have to mutually exclusive.

BUT STOP TRYING TO CONVINCE ME THAT THIS IS A GOOD THING FOR ME. Its not! I'm irritated as fuck because they keep trying to tell me why IWNET IS GOOD FOR ME! I, along with many of my fellow PC gamers, am not retarded. I can smell bullshit, and this reeks of it.

That is all
brainderailment's Destructoid Blog
I think the whining is pretty annoying. PC gamers just need to vote with their moneys, not by pirating the game, but by buying a shitload of another similar game.
Arkhon's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, I don't get it either. The PC version of the game will still be better than the console versions because it will have better graphics and the mouse & keyboard control PC gamers love so much. Console gamers have put up with no dedicated servers and no modding for years now without complaint.
Magnalon's Destructoid Blog
@Arkhon
I would say console users just push that out of their minds rather then think to complain. There's no use in complaining about something that a console simply cannot do at the current time.

Also, if the large blast of PC ignorance has shown us anything recently, some console users don't even KNOW what dedicated servers even are. A large chunk of people thought they were private pirate servers (lawl).

You sir, have been fighting the good fight for PC gamers on this issue. Like... The REALLY good fight. I salute you.
