Hi V_R,

Good News and Bad News

Good news...

MW2 Infamy trailer...


HD Version


Bad News...

Looks like MW2 maybe delayed by two weeks on PC..... Still unconfirmed though.. :(
[UPDATE 2] Bad news for those waiting for Modern Warfare 2 for the PC! By the looks of it, it has been delayed a full 2 weeks...

[UPDATE] As it's not directly confirmed by Activision-Blizzard, let's hope for the best and think of this as unconfirmed news.
[UPDATE 2] Thanks to @WePlayCoD » it has now been unofficially confirmed by an Activision representative...

I went to sign up to fileplanet and it appears I'm already a member :D

Have reserved CoDmw2 & Bioshock 2 demos.

Is that download manager ok and to be trusted?
 
Nevermind, installed the download manager anyway :)

And hey Ian, there's a Wolfenstein demo there.

Looks as if Wolfenstein has been getting a bad press but I think it's great meself, the single player anyway.
 
WTF???? No Dedicated Servers? Matchmaking Only!!!???

I cant believe its true, no servers, will be matchmaking. Meaning it will be like console MP and no online servers like what you can rent from a provider..... :( :( :( :( :(

Im cancelling my preorder..... :eek::(:mad:

Unedited Webcast..
http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/2369799

Black Saturday?

A day of infamy?

It's hard, very hard, for me to write objectively right now, but here is a summary of what we heard on BASH 123. If you missed it...we will have it on demand in a few minutes.

The raw version of BASH 123 can be found here temporarily.

Fourzerotwo was on our BASH webcast this morning and he had a few surprises for the PC community.

Here are the snippets:

  • We're doing a lot on the backend to make the game accessible for everyone.
  • There is no delay for the PC version of MW2
  • There's prestige mode
  • Jason West at the MP event, said that he was dead on, on the matchmaking servers. We've been building a system on the backend called IW.NET.
  • You are completely reliant on IW.NET. There are no server lists. There are no dedicated servers.
  • You have private matches where you can customize the game
  • You cannot put MW2 on a dedicated server.
  • This is the first time we've ever done something like this and the team has huge plans for what IW.NET develops into.
  • Customizing your game...you have quite a few options in a private match
  • You're getting same game (as in Console), plus matchmaking and private match.
  • Server admin point-of view, NO DEDICATED SERVERS
I've summarized some of my own thoughts from the cast here:

General
  • IW partnering through Steam is what you will see in the future. Matchmaking is not through Steam, but IW.NET is run in conjunction with Steam.
  • GSP's will no longer be renting out servers.
  • No PunkBuster. VAC will be used as an anti cheat.
  • Retail distribution: Pre-orders will get a disk. Or you could order from Steam.
  • DLC may now need to be paid for - not confirmed.
  • Piracy was only a small reason for going to IW.NET - not the whole reason.
Clans:
  • No more clan servers. Private matches, replace clan servers.
  • Listen servers will connect to each other.
  • IW.NET/Steam will replace the community server admin
Competitive Gaming
  • Competitive gaming has changed forever.
  • It might be possible in the future for IW engineers to load a "competitive" setting on IW.NET, but it is far from a guarantee. It might also never happen.
Modding
  • Modding the game is now very much in question. Fourzerotwo had no info on modding. However, it appears that there will be no mods or maps for MW2.
  • Modding in SpecOps? Unknown.
Today our game has changed for ever.

I'll leave this post with Josh Peckler's comments from planetmedalofhonor.com:
The server community is what's made us. It's what defined us.

IW.NET is getting the PC community to turn into consoles. You're trying to re-write our history.

I don't fully understand the above but it looks like bad news to me.

What's VAC? What's DLC?

No punkbuster, imo, would be a good thing but the rest looks to suck :(

And I certainly wouldn't buy the game for single player, if the last two are anything to go by.
 
Hi Flopp's,
DLC stands for down load(able) content....VAC stands for Valve anti-cheat and i'm not sure what that means....it's gamerspeak.

Ye DLC is downloadable content, like the map packs, which you paid for on console.

VAC is Valve anti cheat, Steams version of PB, which is easier to bypass than PB.

No servers, you host the game locally like you do on the consoles.... Also means no mods, maps nothing.

This basically means the competitive scene is dead. :(

I signed it as well dude......the cheek of 'em !!
The people should refrain buying the game until things are sorted out.....although, i know that would never happen.....there's now 24042 sigs.
24042 multipled by an average of forty quid aint loose change. Actually, its almost a cool million.
That would be big loss.
