a thousand leaners, an army of tilting warriors, rushing the stronghold. what force can repel their off-balance fury? bullets cannot stop them, for they are leaning out of the way; where a juicy brain should be, only air, for the head has relocated several degrees laterally. the tower of pisa looms in the distance, an apocryphal galileo dropping weights from its height.
but in the end gravity wins the day. they have all fallen over, for in leaning there is no balance.

Hopefully WaW goes on sale on steam again for $24.99. I will pick it up. I want to try out those zombie maps anyway.
Mrbob said:DoW2 require steam too which makes this decision even stranger. Unless it is a different 3rd party client D2D is talking about. I can't think of any. Perhaps a journalist should dig deeper on the topic!
I'd dare to hypothesize that the single player campaign was the largest factor in MW's successSuperEnemyCrab said:Shame on you if you are surprised people are more focused on MP in a CoD title.
I don't see Fox/IGN/D2D giving up sales of the biggest game of the year because it requires Steam while they still have another Steam game on their site. Maybe Activision did an exclusivity deal with Valve for digital distribution?Talamius said:I was thinking the same thing...are we absolutely sure this is about Steam, or is it about some sort of DRM IW is requiring?

Well of course, why should they care when they've been perfectly content with laggy games since Xbox 1.firehawk12 said:You know, I just realized something. People who probably don't give a shit about dedicated servers are now bitching about the whole private party chat thing on live. Seems like these issues only matter when it hits home.

I'm lucky most of my friends play on 360. This is fucking ridiculous.
I look forward to every other sites' stories once sales numbers are released. Surely, in sites like IGN and GiantBomb, the PC sales will be low because piracy is out of control.Zeliard said:Where the fuck are these balls and this sense in the rest of the industry?
Good on Ars Technica for not kowtowing to major corporations like the spineless gaming industry is.

kaRMa: Please give me a direct answer. On the PC version. Are all games hosted by players, and is there a five-second delay when host migration is in effect?
Vince-IW: yes.
Players don't get to choose who hosts.Blue Geezer said:so erm. forgive me for being perhaps shortsighted but whats to stop two people greifing by creating a server then having one leave and join and so on creating this endless loop where you wait 5 seconds for the host to migrate?
