IW fucked MW2 up. The only way to react is to cancel preorders. I did. Fuck petitions they wont do shit. It's like no lan in SC2 but 10 times worse. If they lose 50 percent preorders they might reconsider their decision.

In some retarded way they think this will prevent file sharing like it really didn't for L4D

So no private servers = no mods possible. No mods means no competitive gaming, so no mw2 on lans at all?

Oh god, nothing like a good laugh in the morning, but yea as a GSP I had lots of plans for this game now all gone down the drain, well at least Hitler cheered me up.

Cancelling Pre-orders will have the biggest affects, but that don't mean that you shouldnt sign the petitions too:

Numbers count for everything to the cheifs at the top, if they are big enough that they see their profits growing, they may turn, and the only way to do that is to show them just how big the numbers are in every way

develops don't care about competitve gaming.

don't you get it?

they never did!!!

the competitive scene has always had to do its own modding and coding, developers don't get paid for making a game that people enjoy and keep playing - they make games that you buy and play for a month then buy another.

Until there's a business model that encourages competitive gaming then they'll be no interest from developers and publishers.

Personally I can't see why they don't encourage it, they could do the server-hosting themselves and encourage people to join large clans have have some form of match-making system so that the average person could enjoy the thrill of a scrim which most of the public haven't!

Just hope I can get a job in games development - will change that balance so games are playable more than profitable.

3.9 mil is a much lower amount of money compared to what they will gain by selling those DLC's...

Downloadable Content - that means new maps, new mods, new characters, even new SP levels... Just anything that the community could make if the dipshits over at IW didn't remove the dedi servers! Now we gotta pay for it.

have i understood right this matchmaking thing; that there will be no servers on this game, just some rooms what you can create and where the room admin "hosts" server with his internet connection? nothing like in cod4 it was? or does this only affect on clan players who wants to pracc on their own server?

Well you're kinda getting the point there with the admin hosting the game. Clans will be able to create private games, with a password, no problemo, but you won't be able to play promod cause it just won't exist. That goes for all the custom content btw. There won't be any except for the stuff IW makes themselves. And seeing as they don't give a rat's ass about the competitive community, a promod will be the very last of their concerns. Also, you won't be able to keep playing on the same public server as you normally do, cause the servers are totally fluctuate to the players themselves...

i dont know about a 'rats ass'

i expect they do give consideration but it wont be a priority


personally i think they just have to find a way of making money from the competitive scene - sponsored teams and matches perhaps, advertising in server names or load up times, charging people for a dedicated server hosted by them in a professional environement (so u don't have to queue for matches), perhaps charging a small fee to register as a clan in their leagues/cups and tournaments (this would also help stop 2 week project fail clans).

Quake Live?

U know quake live will fail since they just lose money on it. They will probably add something u have to pay for and get the community's rage over them.

Krosan 20 Oct 2009, 11:04
I don't see tournaments with $14,000 for the Quake Live winner points to a lack of money ;)
Perhaps ID aren't gaining much from it, but with all this publicity, they surely can get break even if you ask me. Not sure though!

Heh well if they fail with Rage they wont afford to throw any more money around so i guess it kinda depends on that. Schooling a new generations of quakers is nice tho. We will probably see within a year anyway!

You have to pay for private servers (about 5$ a month) but that was known from the very beginning.

quake live isnt really a new game though - its just an old game quake3 wrapped into a webbrowser with some other stuff

not a new idea/plot etc.... just same old stuff gain
