Modern warfare 2, goodbye life.[views:21130][posts:135]____________________________________ [Nov 12,2009 10:18am - arktouros ""] there are so many people across the internet boycotting this game for all of the above reasons yet it still annihilated sales records. sad day for the FPS gaming legacy. many types of games play better on console. tactical RPG, strategy games, and FP shooters all belong on the PC though. |

| ______________________________ [Nov 12,2009 10:26am - GUY ""] stop whining!! |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 12,2009 10:32am - porphyria ""] since I'm basically playing the Xbox version I should be able to play Xbox players, shouldn't I? haha. |
| ________________________________ [Nov 12,2009 10:33am - Pires ""] meh. all PC games look great. Although, I don't have a PC that can withstand playing games, as mine is pretty ancient (it has a hard time running XP, let alone a fucking game). Both consoles I have I received as birthday presents, so I'll just continue to use that and love it. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 12,2009 10:33am - arktouros ""] i am whining, about a game i have no desire to play. having a blast playing dragon age (on PC...) and i'll be playing assassin's creed 2 next week on xbox because that's where it belongs. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 12,2009 10:37am - arktouros ""] maintaining a PC is a huge investment of time and money and a console is a small amount of money up front with no maintenance and a few years shelf life. i totally understand why it's so popular. i'm whining because i feel like true shooters are dying, and i'll be whining until half-life 3 gets released i guess. |

| _____________________________________________________ [Nov 12,2009 10:53am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] PC games used to always be superior. Better controls, better hardware, and better display. In the days of high performance consoles and HD tv's, though, PCs are only superior in 1 regard now. There are TONS of great shooters on consoles now. My girlfriend has a PS3 and xbox 360. I can't bring myself to use a fucking controller though. Even when I watch a veteran to the game playing it, the movements and camera view makes it look like I'm watching a child play his first PC game. I need my mouse. Even though, not a FPS.. GTA 4 is a good example. I'm told there's pretty much AUTO-TARGETING when you're using the guns on the console version. There isn't any on PC. Why? It's easy as shit to aim. It's STILL easier to aim on the PC even vs a console with auto-targeting. A source of fun lately for me is to be driving down a street on GTA 4 and fire a single shot out of my car with a handgun through the windshield and into the face of an oncoming car. They're instantly dead and just drive into a wall. Eat that, console. |

| __________________________________ [Nov 12,2009 10:56am - reimroc ""] its so true. since the advent of online consoles there have always been rumors that the next FPS will allow PC players to connect to the same servers as console players. The only problem is that the players aiming with a mouse/keyboard would de_stroy the console players. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 12,2009 11:05am - arktouros ""] yep, and MSD speaks truth. i'm a big fan of the campaigns in the Halo series. The firefights are the best I've seen on a console, the physics, AI, maps, and weapons are all very well done. I still feel mentally challenged when I'm running around and aiming though...but since the game is built from scratch to account for the control issues, it works. But I wouldn't suffer through one minute of playing online. and you're right about GTA4. even with all the auto-aim, you still have to sit there taking bullets while you try to swing around the camera with the control stick, and you're able to get off a shot...you might not know where that shot goes though. |

In fact I hate playing with auto aim, it ruins the immersion. |

Or was I misinformed? Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising came out earlier this month. It rapes babies in its awesomeness. It is essentially war-simulation as opposed to the arcade-y battles you see in CoD. Although I've heard ArmA 2 is way better insofar as realism, but my laptop sucks and they don't make it for consoles. |

| ____________________________________ [Nov 12,2009 4:32pm - porphyria ""] seems to me that IWnet is like putting your trust into a matchmaking site to hook you up with a hot babe. I was playing MP earlier fine but now it seems IWnet is down...stuck on 'Connecting to IWnet...' I REALLY hope they release a patch at some point expanding the PC version to add it's standard features. |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 12,2009 4:43pm - thegreatspaldino ""] you people DO realize that you can use a mouse and keyboard on a 360, right? look it up. |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 12,2009 4:46pm - thegreatspaldino ""] http://gizmodo.com/223963/xcm-xfps-xbox-360-keyboardmouse-adapter-in-action there, i did the search for you. stop whining and play. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 12,2009 4:51pm - porphyria ""] yeah but I don't want a 360, I can do way more on my PC than a 360 so it doesn't make sense for me to need another piece of hardware. also it's lame that there's no dedicated servers meaning you could be playing against entire servers that blow, I prefer to choose where I play and there's way more sense of community when you join servers you know and can play with people you've played with before. Being able to choose servers such as 'TACTICAL ONLY' is a big plus for me because sometimes I want a serious game with rules so it's not a server with all noobs running and gunning. Also the ability to create mods/maps, ect is a huge advantage with the PC and has been around forever, so the fact that Infinity Ward just decides to take it out is kinda ridiculous! I'm still going to play the game and give it a chance but I'll probably end up going back to World At War if they don't add the standard pc features. |

| ____________________________________ [Nov 12,2009 4:58pm - porphyria ""] "IWNET takes the benefits of dedicated servers and allows them to be utilized and accessed by every player, out of the box, while removing the barrier to entry for players unaware of how to maintain a server on their own." - Robert Bowling, Infinity Ward Dude is a retard! 90% of the people that play online don't even have the intentions of starting a server, probably ever! They just want a choice on where to play. Chances are if the person is playing the game on their PC they're not as illiterate as most console gamers. |

| ____________________________________ [Nov 12,2009 7:23pm - porphyria ""] hahaha the piece of shit IWNET server crashed already. I hope it fails and continues to fail they're forced to give the people what they expected to be standard, dedicated servers! |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 12,2009 7:24pm - porphyria ""] this means, no one can play multiplayer at least PC users... I hope someone DOS attacked it. |
