Modern Warfare 2 Tested

2 of my clan mates tested some MW2 this morning after activation.

Right here is my ACTUAL findings in game and not some assumptions made on a IW forum.

Installed the game this morning (just after 1 when it was unlocked in steam) which took about half an hour to install to 11GB!! After me having some issues (VERY Minor and probably my own fault) the game was installed and launching. J4ck4ss launched the game within seconds of mine and we started testing.

HEre is where the story goes the way no one expected. We created a private match to start off with due to no servers being found publicly (Note that this was directly after the SA launch so sit down and listen). Via steam's friend list all that J4ck4ss had to do was right click and join game... We had a BLAST! Only 2 people in a private match but still better than any other COD. We then got Joined by [VAMP] Tobias (My bro) And we had a few Private matches... We went to bed at 3:20 this morning.

With the small disappointment of not finding public servers to test I woke up at 5:30 this morning and I looked for servers. Clicked on my desired game mode and BAM im in a game. Allthough this game was SLIGHTLY laggy it was better than the SGS servers when they had their lag issues... Then J4ck4ss came online and we decided to look for free for all games. Both of us were in in seconds with a game setup. Pings were AMAZING!! It was so smooth and so responsive it felt much better than COD 4 over lan even. No Im not exaggerating... This game is amazing. The Game is awesome, does not look like a port, does not feel like a port and the best is yet to follow....

IWnet and the matchmaking system works better than Dedicated servers!! No really, you just click join and your in a lag free game with no hassles... Wait, yes, just like IW said!

hold your horses a bit. Raziel may be a (soon to be suspended for 3 matches due to stupid comment :D ) over excited jack russel on heat.

I will give my opinion tomorrow.
 
Sounds a bit too excited yeah. Better than lan? Heh.

Be sure to test it with people across the country, not just yourselves all "lanning" with each other.
 
They didn't mention what lines they have after they test....

What lines did the hoster have? Is this possible with a 384kbs line?

Bwhahah, yeah maybe he is a bit over excited there.

You getting it tomorrow maps?
 
Raz and jackass live in different cities, but then again, the first testing was just with them then 2 other players joining. I host 4 player co op borderlands sessions every night, no lag issues there. What I want to see is what happens when you get more than 10 players involved.

I don't have mw2 but a mate close-by has. Will go and stress test tonight.

Thanks Maplassie. If this works well with 10 players on 384kbs line I am buying this asap!
 
i'll be posting my findings later on in the day. need to go my friends office to pick it up.

will be testing via a 512k line
 
will wait and see Mappy.

your clan mates might be overcome with what is known as SHINY syndrome
 
When you guys are stress testing, can you also please find out how much bandwidth does it consume after like an hour of game-play...
 
That's why I said aswell, they might just be a TAD to excited, game being new and all and them SOOOO looking forward to it.

I'll wait for my hands on.

That part is easy, I'll log into my radius server, check bandwidth before and after. Also want to see if it has any implications being a HOST, with all the players connecting to you.

Agreed. They'll start moaning once their shots don't register in clan games.

THat's the one thing I am BURNING to test out. Want to get a 5vs5 match this weekend, Host the game myself, and DELIBERATELY Disconnect to see what happens with the host migration, how that affects it, and just see how a general clan game goes.

Hmmm. I'm still very sceptical and won't accept "minor lag" when I have NO LAG on the SAIX servers. After all, that's why I got a 4MB line. If I was happy with "some lag" I would have stayed on a 384 line.
 
hmmmm interesting ... i eager to see the results ... and of course laugh at the people who cancelled their orders cause i can LOL
 
This can only end in tears...

Either for the optimists, as per quotes posted in this thread.
Or the pessimists, as per the IW hate spam plastered on the forums for the last 3 weeks.
May the best team win. :)
