Modern Warfare 2 For PC Pile-On: Second Edition

As if we weren't having enough fun shoving Infinity Ward's nerdy self into a gym locker these days, have a look at just how stupid they are when it comes to the PC version of Modern Warfare 2:

Quote:
This is, for all intents and purposes, a console game that plays on your PC. You won't be able to make any tweaks, you can't adjust anything, and even better? You won't be able to make recordings of your matches. The question in the chat showed just how far the gulf between what gamers want and what Infinity Ward is giving them has become. "Is there a /record feature? Answer yes... please. We're trying to give you a 'chance'," the gamer asked. The answer was a simple "No."
DudezTY: Since we cannot kick people in ranked matches, how will we stop hackers who get past VAC?

Mackey-IW: Our goal is to ban hackers from the game.
It's a shame that it's impossible to show a jaw dropping on an online chat. There will be no way to kick players, and Infinity Ward seems sure they'll simply be able to keep hackers and cheaters from playing. That's a pipe dream, of course, but with no control in the hands of the players, no ability to control who is hosting, and no ability to kick or ban players from your game, you're just going to have to take their word for it.
So let me get this right, there's no way to kick anyone, let alone hackers? So the Halo kiddies that love to grief games to zero players will pretty much have god-mode on? Count me and my $59 out on this one fellas.

Be sure to click on the ARS link below to read even more about how little Infinity Ward thinks of PC gamers and their experiences gaming online. Or you could just stand up and kick yourself in the nards, it's pretty much the same thing.

Good luck and be sure to post your reviews as they come in.

This game fails. Did IW have a regime change or something? Or are they having a Microsoft employee stalking them threatening them by killing their family if they actually make a PC game worth playing.

It just comes down to piracy in the end. The PC gamers don't get any love because that platform gets raped. It's sad really.

Sadly I disagree because they're going to make oodles of money from the console nubs (no offense to anyone here) making them believe that the game was the blockbuster success as anticipated. They're just going to ignore any absence of PC sales since they're probably going to reach close to their intended sales numbers even without us and the PC community.
