Plz people get over the lack of DS.
I got it on PC and thought its more laggy and random that it should be, the game is pretty damn good, and still a superior version compared to the consoles. Play or don't

They've got to bring back party chat on the less tactical game modes like TD matches and the like. The call of duty community is largely made up of mouthy kids and idiots and I really shouldn't be forced to listen to how they want to fuck each others Mums.

Think of it this way: There are two multiplayer modes in CoD4 & WaW for PC (large scale and small scale). Now there's only one in MW2. In a simplified fashion think of it that way: There were 2 now there's only 1.

Shut the fuck up nobody cares

What Kif said, and I haven't had a problem yet. We just don't use voice chat, considering our party is the entire team anyways.

Yesterday while playing i couldn't believe it but instead of playing with a 12 year old it was an 8 year old :| i still cannot understand how people would let their 8 year old child play online video games especially with people who have nerd rages who swear like no tomorrow O.o

I now refer to the game as Muting Warfare 2

I don't get the big deal about this party chat stuff. You think that just because every multiplayer game before MW2 allowed it means that you should have it now? Times are changing you spoiled console gamers. Get over it.

How does it feel?

I hope they make a matchmaking for spec ops, that would be nice

Lack of party chat functionality is a big problem.

My other main complaint is that Special Ops doesn't have more options for online play. Its either one player or two player via invite. Why I can simply search for a random co-op player to play with online, as well as via invite here is beyond me. The fact the its not possibly to do some co-op mission, without two players on veteran, hurts the game more.

I hope they improve Special Ops more, because more online games are about co-op play over one on one/death match play.

I'd like it if they'd listen to the dedicated server complaints, but PC gamers are apparently spineless and went and bought the game anyway. Oh well, pirated MW2 for single, will play MW1 for multi.

@Yehat
That better fucking mean they patch in dedis. I will actually buy the game if they do, but not until then.

Well that's shitty. 6400 people want party chat and they consider it, but 200,000+ want dedis and they ignore us? And then on top of that, they don't even hide the fact that it's a console port in the hex of the executable? That's just fucking low.

I hope they don't change anything. It works fine how it is.

Also, Mosh Pit is the best.

What's most frustrating is that certain game types, like 3rd person Team Deathmatch allow for the Party Chat, but first-person Team Deathmatch doesn't. Are they saying if you play 3rd person you're allowed to "cheat?" Or did they do it to get people to give the playlist a chance? Also, individual modes like Domination (and the aforementioned TD) don't allow it, but if you play Groundwar, which is made up SOLELY of Team Detahmatch and Domination, no Party Chat. WTF?

It's as if they chose which playlists to remove the feature from at random. The only mode it makes sense to remove, imo, is S&D since it's objective based AND there are no respawns. Any playlist that includes a no respawn gametype should not have it, all others should. It's a basic feature built into the system and opening up the ability to remove core LIVE functionality on Microsoft's part is absurd. One of the main reasons I stopped playing Killzone 2 on PS3 was how annoying it was to meet up with friends and chat whether we were in the same game or not. It's a basic feature of a service I PAY MONEY FOR. What are they going to do next, remove my ability to download game content and force me to buy it all at retail?

maybe IW should focus on their game types. actually starting a game the user selects. 3rd person tactical isn't 18 player free-for-all on rust. BIG TIME FAIL IW, not nearly as bad as treyarch, but cutting it close.
