Lostconfused said:No those games are made for wide screen. They are just going to cap the max resolution at 1280x720 or whatever the games native res is.
It's their fucking game.Zaraki_Kenpachi said:Why are people pissed at IW? Do they even have any say in this?
Wow, that is seriously one of the most awkward interviews I've ever heard. :lol :lolMikey Jr. said:http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/2369799
Skip to 1:41.
Robert Bowling.
Flat out.
NO DEDICATED SERVERS. Matchmaking only.
They ask him about custom content. He completely skips around the issue. He knows that there won't be custom content but doesnt want to embarass himself.
Wow, MW2 has changed for the worse.

Not it isn't. It's Activisions'sMickeyKnox said:It's their fucking game.
Seeing as how after Blizzard they have the biggest franchise I would say yes, they can pretty much tell him to fuck off when it comes to something like this.Zaraki_Kenpachi said:But it's the CEO of activision who seems to be pushing it, can they really do much about it?

Mikey Jr. said:Also, apparently it's P2P.
Hahaha, ohh man. This is just a massive fucking joke now.
Basically what the PC guys are buying is the console version.
Go back to the interviews with them after the whole pay to play service bullshit the CEO was throwing around.zoku88 said::lol :lol :lol
Ask yourself this: how do any of these moves benefit the developers themselves?MickeyKnox said:Go back to the interviews with them after the whole pay to play service bullshit the CEO was throwing around.

Guess my $60 is going elsewhere.
Think of it like an IRC room or something. The server is always up. Usually attracts a core group of people + randoms. Once you find a good server with a good community, it's hard to go somewhere else. In Counter-Strike, I only ever played on NdN servers. In TF2, I usually stuck with the GAF servers we had, TheVille, circle-x, or now I'm sticking with The Machine Teamplay server.ChoklitReign said:What's so special about dedicated servers?

Darklord said:Able to run 24/7 without a host being in the game. Can run smoother, with less ping, more players and is overall a better experiance pretty much. Matchmaking is also hell for most of the world as it dumps players from like NZ or UK into a US which is obviously unplayable with the 500 or so ping.
Fuck Infinty Ward. They're just as responsible and their divergence from PC gaming isn't any secret. Even Rob Bowling on the podcast where this is revealed talks about playing L4D on the 360.Zaraki_Kenpachi said:Why are people pissed at IW? Do they even have any say in this?

We will all rue the day Microsoft decided to go into gaming to protect their revenue streams.
thanks this belongs in OPghst said:skip to 1hr 40 mins if you want to hear the concrete "no" from inf ward's paid shill.
the longer it goes on, the more abhorrent it gets. like licking piss off of nettles.
Felix Lighter said:What a stupid, stupid anti-consumer move. Ugh, Activision. Those interviewers were heart broken. No amount of spinning was going make up for the removal of dedicated servers.
SuperEnemyCrab said:With a dedicated server you get:
-better connection speed since it's likely hosted at a datacenter/backbone site
-higher player counts
-server is up 24/7
-admins can install mods, add-ons
-you build a community of regular players
-cheaters are banned directly from the server
-clans can practice easier, run their own games
Brannon said:Activision just shot their fans in the foot.
No. It's not even funny enough to warrant using here. This is horrible. Goddamn.
On a hopefully miraculous note, maybe some really smart person would take the dedicated server codes from Call of Duty 4 and World at War and somehow combobulate them to work with Modern Warfare 2 somehow maybe.
This is really, REALLY hoping, though.
Not gonna happen, is it?

It will be far superior to MW2 on probably every level. Bank it.Dark Stalkers said:Hopefully Bad Company 2 will be good.
I hope so, because if it is, it may get me to go ahead and bite on a 5850 for the DX11 goodies.Dark Stalkers said:Hopefully Bad Company 2 will be good.
