Modern WarFAIL too

Logan

While I am still at it,  I will try to recommend a common resource for frustrated PC gamers of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (COD MW2). While there is an ongoing online petition by players for Infinity Ward to install dedicated servers for PC users, plus the usual ability of players to do mods and custom maps (which is now over 249,000 signatures as of this writing), there is a website dedicated to documenting player issues of this game.

Modern Warfail2 calls COD MW2 "the biggest FAIL in PC FPS gaming history" documents cases from all over the world the experience of players using the PC version. It also dispels what Infinity Ward has been touting as a better experience for gamers, that a peer to peer (P2P) service is much better than the dedicated servers that PC gamers have been so used before.

­This website has a forums section, image gallery, and other information for you to know what players are discussing or reporting the game.  The image gallery is fun to look at as it pokes fun at the EPIC FAILS of the system.

Modern Warfail 2 has this to say about their service:

With Modern Warfail 2, Insanity Ward has completely back stabbed and abandoned the PC community.

It has removed the ability to join or host dedicated servers and has been replaced by a new system called IWNet which uses a so called, state of the art, Peer to Peer technology, also known as P2P.

That’s right P2P. Most people will remember P2P from Kazaa, the filesharing program which was popular around the year 2002. However, P2P is, apparently according to Infinity Ward, not only SuperB for sharing music and videos, no it’s also a technology which guarantees lag free multi player gaming with no 0 ping advantage for the host. Sadly, the downsides of this great and modern technology are that you can’t host your own server anymore to hangout with friends, play custom maps on and kick/ban cheaters. Instead the game will be hosted on some one’s pc with 10 open Internet Explorer windows, Windows Live Messenger running in the background and is downloading torrents via it’s high speed residential DSL line. But don’t worry, it won’t affect your online multiplayer experience at all, P2P will be able to handle your game without any lag _at_all !

And if you’re worried about cheaters, don’t fear Valve’s Anti Cheat (VAC) system is here ! As we all know PunkBuster is crap so they removed it.

VAC will detect and ban ALL cheaters for you. Of course banning will not be instantly because, like it already does perfectly at CounterStrike, ‘cheaters aren’t instantly kicked from the server. Their account is just flagged for a ban at a later date.’

Oh and if you’re looking to play a good 12VS12 clan match, shame on you because every gamer knows that ‘games cap out at 9VS9′, duh !!


If you agree with what they say, then time for you to be there and be counted. Infinity Ward is not budging an inch to what the players are clamoring for. So the next best thing is to document and even created parodies of the game.
