Indeed, your post makes me think they might well be.
Let me tell you how much I have invested in this:

Mrbob said:Sales numbers can be twisted though. Is he talking units sold or total revenue? MW2 is selling for at least 10 dollar more a pop than MW1 so it is possible it sold less units and made more money.
Also, MW1 did have more of a continual build up in sales. MW2 was going to have a massive first week regardless since it is riding the success of the first game. I really don't think first week numbers prove much. Long term is the bigger issue.
So making inflammatory, disingenuous, hyperbolic and inaccurate arguments is perfectly fine so long as the source is known to do so often?TheOneGuy said:It's also goddamn Penny Arcade.
Consider the context. Reasonable human beings will.

There's a word for thinking that way, but "reasonable" is not it.

Really enjoy reforming party 5 times before everyone gets in a game. And the people who got dropped can't tell you, so you have to check, constantly.
Ah, just a poor imitator then.TheOneGuy said:You expect me to argue with some internet subway vagrant? I am above you in every way imaginable.
Step off, kid. Step off.

kitch9 said:Sooooo, I thought I'd try my level 4 ass on the PC again last night. I should get to play against some guys at my level right? I've got a choice of a massive 3 fucking guns and fuck all else, everybody else will be the same right? The matchmaking shit IW have shoved down our throats will make shit fair right?
Noooooooo, what the fuck is this shit I got last night!?!?
First attempt at team deathmatch, I was but on a server where the lowest guy was level 50, second attempt the lowest guy was 55.
My last attempt put me up against a party of level 70 sons of bitches all with the tag GS next to their name.
I'm running around with my little pea shooter and my knob hanging out, whilst those twats have akimbo shotguns that somehow have the ability to snipe me half the way across the map.......Don't get me started on the constant harriers, pave lows and fucking nukes that I CAN'T FUCKING USE.
The exclusive text chat that the PC version has treated me to 10 mins of "LOL....Owned.", "Noob cannon fodder LOL." and "Love it when the matchmaking gives me noobs to kill."
Its even harder than COD4 to get into on-line. At least I could pick a server that had noobs only in the server name, but this shit is fucked up.
Fuck you IW.
Enosh said:1. matchmaking isn't based on rank, it would be stupid to base it on rank
2. if it is just like in live you need an "adjustment period" in which matchmaking calculates your skill, thus the chance of getting games with people of similar skill improves the more you play.
3. "At least I could pick a server that had noobs only in the server name" which were usualy full of people looking for easy kills

Nope, I haven't gotten it either. Unless someone gifts it to me or I somehow get it for free, I doubt I ever will get it either.out0v0rder said:I feel like the only person who hasn't bought this.
Another argument in favor of dedicated servers has been made today, with gamers complaining that Modern Warfare 2's precious IW.net has led to threats of online termination from ISPs. According to reports, players have been accused of "running servers on their home connection" and "excessive file sharing through peer to peer connections."
"I received a letter from Time-Warner Cable," writes one angry customer who had a narrow escape. "... The letter basically says that they think I have a virus thats sending/receiving information ... They say 'We ask you to bear in mind that continued violations of the road runner acceptable use policy can result in suspension or even termination of your road runner account.'

Wouldn't that mean that every P2P game could get the same treatment from ISPs? I have shat on IWNet and MW2 PC, but I really don't buy that story (yet) especially since it comes from the IW forums where there is alot of bitterness and jaded people.Crewnh said:Don't know if this was posted somewhere else, but here's another problem with the PC version.

Seems to be quite a number of folks no? Consoles data is registered or something like that. ISP service knows.People have allegedly been downgraded to dial-up, had to call their ISPs to explain themselves, or faced extra charges on their phone bills thanks to IW.net using customers' computers to host games.

Weird type of stuff to make up. I'm sure there is a difference in how IW does the PC side of things.TheOneGuy said:I'm with Archie.
Every P2P game would have to suffer from this if it was true.
