Mw2 for PC situation has gotten even worse.

First: Price hike.

Second: No dedicated servers.

And now this:

The following has been confirmed in an interview with Robert Bowling.

IWnet replaces CoD4 Dedicated servers.
IW has control of the game.
IWnet servers will host multiplayer.
DLC will be a charged item for PC. (contrary to previous announcement)
No dedicated servers.
Semi-capable password servers.
Semi-capable ad-hoc servers.
Competitive play is dead.
MW2 mods would not be possible.
Full integration into Steam.
There will be private matches possible, but no type of promod.
It will make servers and games uniform across the board setup and rule-wise.
How many players on a server is unconfirmed.
PC has been turned into console.

It's worse than we thought. Byebye MW2, we'll miss you.

So basically no more COD4 either?

I'm not sure, its a bit ambiguous. That could simply mean "cod4 style dedicated servers"

how could they retro-remove our servers? :(

What crap really. Typical

how many ppl are going to boycott this game now? i just dont understand this, not even from a financial point of view.

looks like the entire SA community will be sticking to cod4.

Yeah, I don't see how they can pull the dedicated server code off the internet (or out of MW1) now. I think Subversion hit it on the head.

They may very well stop supporting MW1 though.

Ill pick up MW2 Bargin Bin for Xbox just to play the SP.

They probably will. Think we can assume no more patches etc.

But as far as competitive play goes, cod4 will be around for a long, long time, since MW2 has pretty much destroyed competitive play. CS:S and Q3A for example are old games which still have a strong competitive following.

But I can't believe they're now charging for DLC, and hiking price, AND doing all of this.

Remember these mygaming articles?

MW2 DLC on PC is free? (wrong.)

MW2 resists international price hike? (wrong again!)

And this is my favourite:

MW2 will cater to the hardcore gamer. (lol? are they fscking kidding? No clans, no competitive gaming, servers which randomly assign you to play with a bunch of random noobs. Yeah IW, thats HARD bru.)

They've run this title aground. GG.

P.S. Mappy you still willing to pay R1500 for this game? :(
