PC games traditionally run on dedicated servers- ie machines supported by devs or private companies that host the game independently of players. They run a preset variant of the game and individual players just come and go as they please.

 

Console games run on Peer to Peer hosting. Players are put together and the best connection becomes host.

 

Activision have taken dedicated servers out of MW2- which I think is a pc first.

 

Naturally, pc gamers being elitist, unbearable snobs, are upset by this sacrilege, despite p2p being perfectly acceptable for a game like MW2 because They're Better, despite never having tried a console game before :heh:

They're not actually being shipped. Activision have an el bastardo embargo on this baby so nobody is getting it before Tuesday. All these 'shipped' messages are the game being sent to couriers etc so that the embargo doesn't make the game late.

I hope you were being sarcastic because in no way that p2p has any advantages at all over dedicated servers other than letting them control the community like 'Big Brother'. I don't pay any notice to any Elitist superiority rants wherever it comes from, I am no PC elitist but once you use a dedicated server there's no turning back.

 

It means no host advantage, less cheating because server admins usually monitor most of the time, being able to change game rules such as Time limit more players etc, the mods that increase replayability, the server communities and the people you meet in your favourite servers and less lag because you can simply join a server with a low ping which is within your country rather than it being a lottery.

 

At the end of the day all I want is the best online experience overall and dedicated servers gives you that.

I used to play dedicated servers on CS

 

Lots of lag and rampant cheats remain two of my prevailing memories. That and the wank custom mods screaming HEADSHOT at me.

Well, I went into temptation and...pre-ordered the game, saved $20 (Still $100 in Australia >_> ) by ordering it online rather then store (The negative is the fact that the game store is having a mid-night launch release so I have to wait until the day before I get it :( )

You need to go on better servers.

 

I can list a load of things I dislike about Xbox Live (racists being my main concern), but at the end of the day we're going to have to agree to disagree. But I definitely will not be buying this game at launch.

Just checked my order status on Play.com...

 

Hardened Edition - Packing

Standard Edition - Packing

 

Before anyone says anything, the standard edition is for my bro, also I got an e-mail regarding the Hardened Edition yesterday or something saying that it's going to be shipped by courier to ensure it isn't delayed, I still doubt that I'll be getting it early, esp if there is an embargo but it's nice to have it 'confirmed' for its day of release. :)

 

IF it does arrive early though, I can still play it right? just not online I'm guessing... this isn't gonna be like Halo 3 all over again where there was some shit over people getting banned for playing it early or something daft IIRC lolol.

 

Either way I'd better attempt to finish the first MW before this arrives! :o (yes I was one of the few that actually resisted it but now that I've got into the single player I rather like it)

That was for playing an illegal copy a month before the game's release.

Haha, a lad I know has got a lifetime ban for having/playing an illegal copy... yes, the copy I played at his.

I told him he shouldn't play it before release date, but still, oh well.

 

That's why I won't get mine chipped!

I've been meaning to post here for ages. Since the infamous terrorist footage came out...So here's where MW2 lies with me. I am still boycotting it because of the ludicrous RRP! However the terrorist footage has actually made me stand up and notice. I'm not one for pouring hours and hours into a multiplayer game, mostly because I tend to not be good enough at them. I will put time in but not for a title where the best of the best just kick everyone elses ass! With CoD4 the single player didn't really seem to do much for me at all hence why I'm not really interested in picking up MW2.

 

The terrorist scene has single handedly convinced me that Infinity Ward presumably with Activision's blessing are trying to do something new and interesting for those who want to experience in the single player story. They didn't have to do this at all, its not like they aren't gonna sell a ton of copies anyway...they could shovel out any kind of crap for the sequel and will sell on name and reputation alone...but they didn't and they do deserve praise for that...

 

Also hate the fact how this game is being dealt with as some kind of special case with GAME offering free courier delivery due to the postal strikes...what about all the other new release game deliveries threatened by it.

Would you still boycott even if ASDA are going to be selling it for a rumoured £27

No I wouldn't but don't get paid till the friday so doubt they will have any by the....

 

They will be taking a big loss on that would have thought...dealer price will be way up in the £30+ bracket at least I would have thought.
