Yep, still not funny. No amount of odd tuba music makes the "punchlines" any funnier. And the very thing that critics seem to love (OMFG ITS BASICALLY UNSCRIPTED! *shats critically*) kills the flow. It desperately needs to be more scripted.

Yep, still unfunny.

It seems I can't go into any Modern Warfare 2 discussion without someone making the same lame points against the PC version. And it's always coated in the same "Our community made you big, IW! And this is how you repay us? You intentionally did this! You love to see us in pain!!" type of betrayal that just comes off as kind of silly. And this has been going on since months before the game's launch.

I understand I am of the minority with this perspective, but I just couldn't be happier with how the PC version is. I've been a PC Gamer for a long time, and there were so many things I HATED about it. But with MW2, I no longer have to worry about landing on dedicated servers where all of the game settings are messed with to make the experience absolutely absurd. I don't miss having to wait before playing every game because the server forces you to download random content like the audio-clip of UT's "HEADSHOT!" or a bad retexture someone did to make the knives all look like dildos. I no longer have to filter through one server after another of people intentionally killing each other to build their rank up (or how EVERYONE is the highest rank because they all used this lame method). I no longer have to deal with servers that play the same map repeatedly over and over again. And I also no longer have to deal with these TERRIBLE community-made maps of badly textured wide-open areas where people can openly just shoot one another. The list goes on and on, quite honestly.

Instead, I get a game that's balanced so that everyone plays the game the way it was meant to be played. And you know what? It's a great game. I almost bought into the nerd-rage before the game came out, but quickly realized that instead, I've got a title that I haven't been able to stop playing since. And I'm not the only one. Just ask the hundreds of Steam-users who started a Modern Warfare 2 boycott how they're enjoying the game.

It's one of those things that people can't stop bitching about, but only during their breaks between enjoying the product. IW "shat" on the pc community? Please.

I'm completely happy with NEVER running into these types of servers.

I suppose he doesn't go into enough detail to cover the absolutely hemorrhaging catastrophic PC-multiplayer failure of this game.
It could have been the next big online "scene" thing, with big money involved. cod4 was kept alive in the online scene for a long time thanks to people modding the game and all the customisation really kept the game popular for a long time. It basically kept IW afloat, kept them in business, and allowed them to make mw2.
IW, in their infinite wisdom, thought that customisation and modding was theft and piracy. They decided that they could SELL people these updates rather than let the community make content for itself. As such, they removed dedicated servers - you play on a P2P system not too far off from the xbox/console style where your ping is always very high as you connect to another person's computer. You have to use the matching system which basically matches you with the lowest ping server in the style you request that it can find. This ensures heavy lag for a lot of people, moderate lag (over 100ping) as an average, and virtually unplayable for a few. When the map changes, they have a system of "migrating" you which basically tries to keep your experience uninterrupted but mostly disconnects you. One of the IW guys actually was quoted "I've been playing mostly with 100ms and that's just fine!"
They disallowed any kind of modding or customisation, instead opting to bring out DLC for the PC. This includes not allowing any kind of demo recording and there's no developer console.
Because of the P2P system, you are limited to a very small number of people playing in a server, meaning large battles aren't possible anymore because a person's pc (which is hosting the game live) just isn't usually capable of handling so many connections.
There's a shed load more. http://www.modernwarfail2.com/about/ . They really screwed up and shat all over the PC fans which basically kept the franchise alive and allowed IW to make a lot of money with this game. They did a direct port from console to PC not only because it was easy, but also because it allowed them to control the game rather than the community. Whilst console users are used to all the above complaints and have chastised PC users for their pickyness, PC users are used to much better things and the PC multiplayer of this game is abhorrent to them.
I think some people have made dedicated servers available by hacking the game, not sure though. All of this was true as of release date



the whole level system would make the game incopatable for proper dedocated server play , i think its fine as a console game , but they should have maby worked on the game for another 7 months doing a proper pc version esentauly as separate product.

basicly dice have got it right , look at the dice console games v the dice pc games (bf2,bf moder combat , bad company ) they do the same game but redesign aspects of it for each platform.


also the single player is utter shite its utterly pointless to play , its pretty much the same as the first one stupid bugs and bad level design + when they do good stuff they never capitalise on it I don't think infinity ward have muh of an idea about single player games design. but it seems that the majorty of people dont give a shit its like holywood films people just want to see shit blow up they don't care about anything evan slightly engaging on another level. whats more annoying is the game takes itself seriously if it took the piss out of itself to some exstent but its like infinity ward think its a war simulater.


all in all its a really good multi player console shooter game.

QM, Pennypacker, stfu and grab a mop.

I thought The Messiah was making "shovel-ready" projects, not "mop-ready". No jobs have been created after the looting of the Treasury (for which Bush gets a portion of blame) except in Washington DC, but an increase in thieves is not counted in these staggering new Carter-level unemployment figures.

The community organizer couldn't care less about the American economy. Why? Because he believes that the evil capitalists are being punished for taking an unequal share of wealth, and this is payback. Obummer believes this, he's grown up surrounded by angry moonbat radicals who believe this, and we're now feeling the effects of the same stupid shit that failed over in Russia.

Where does wealth come from? Liberals seem to believe it is shat from unicorns' asses.

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to sign for my free gift/Nobel Peace Prize from the Franklin Mint.

Laura, ^as always, the voice of reason, tolerance, love and objective response. CP420 seemed a bug in the butter of more than 22 users polled recently on my my reinstatement-I never asked for a poll, the one for me came from an unexpected direction, from a user I rarely had any interaction with.

The tone of dissenters on this thread so far seems a bit charged. As I always maintained, in this voting community on a site where the users and not the admins dictate, votes should hold some weight in these matters. In an objective comparative analysis of choggie's AND CaptP's history here any reasonable soul should see more differences than juxtaposition.

So for the cheap seats....I took issue and actions as I saw fit, with a handful of users here, not the entire site-I aimed when I shat, others exploded into the crowd. My actions had consequences I both expected and dealt with according to my freewill. Plus, I had not been laid properly in quite some time.

This poll has a distinctive, gremlinesque initial flavor. Unfavorable bouquet and predictable finish.
Compliments stale bread or hard, semi-soft cheese.

Thank you, xxovercastxx. I shall attempt to and succeed in living up to your gracious consideration.

Not trying to be a dick BF but sometimes it comes quite easy-Offense is taken at the obvious comparison.

BillO had some great timing and his dry, sardonic wit was more often well-placed than not. What did he do to piss on the rug anyhow???

I almost shat every time he hit the landmine with something. I was yelling at my monitor "STOP DOING THAT!"

Very busy (with teevirus.com mostly), but great! Thanks for asking.

How've you been? Real life and kids keeping you busy? I got worried when a Shat post hit #1 and you were nowhere to be found.

I don't like Twilight because the author borrowed the very basics of vampire mythology and shat all over the rest. One might as well throw, say, elves in there - you can't go wrong with elves!! It just doesn't compare to True Blood, which has simply bent the 'rules' slightly all the while managing to still make complete sense as far as mythology and logic is concerned.

canada for the shatman


And for Alaska, right?

Scary! I'm glad they didn't show any of the sharks, I probably would've shat meself.

The Shat seems shorter in person... or maybe just standing beside a guy who can look "The Shaq" in the eye...
