So sorry if this is a silly question, does it not have LAN support now?

And lots of people bought COD4 on the PC (and World At War). But ya know, Phaethon was just trollin'.

Of course it sold well, but it was also pirated off the hook, especially early on. This helped grow the online community. Giving away copies of a great game can really help its longevity and future sales.

I guess it's still possible, but it seems pretty unlikely to me. IWNet almost certainly requires an internet connection at the very least.

But even if there is LAN support, it doesn't really change the fact that FourZeroTwo was completely dishonest in that interview.

Lebato: FM3 may not have *Open* Private matches... friends list only is what is being said. Downgrade from FM2; adopting the TRASHING Halo model.

Well I was referring to the lying part. We'll see if it has private matches like in FM2. I'm thinking it will still have it. To be honest though, I wouldn't care that much. I like the options online, but it's frustrating and hard to find people who are willing to race clean online in racing games.

It's also hard to find people of your level, you either get some people who spend all their lives playing Forza, or some complete noobs who are not worth racing against. Then later on in the life cycle, you will only find these repetitive "matches"--drifting (fun for a while), oval, and maybe cat and mouse.

So yeah, I'm thinking matchmaking in FM3 might just be a good thing, that is until they release new tracks that divide the community just like in H3.

Modern Warfare 2 is to be launched at a Leicester Square event in London, “home of the ‘Hollywood Premiere’.”

The screening’s to be compered by a celeb fan.

The event will also be supported by an “epic” midnight opening at HMV’s Trocadero Store.

There’s also to be a “VIP launch party” in “a secret underground bunker,” headlined by one of the “UK’s biggest male artists of 2009.”

We’re practically shitting ourselves with excitement, now. Hit the link for the PR.

On November 9th 2009, Modern Warfare 2 will invade the capital with a unique game launch event and screening. In a world’s first, the most highly-anticipated game of all time will be hosting its launch event in Leicester Square, home of the ‘Hollywood Premiere’.

The screening will be compered by a celebrity fan of the game and give journalists, celebs and fans of the critically-acclaimed Modern Warfare series a chance to see this year’s biggest game on the big screen ahead of its global launch on Tuesday 10th November.

The event will also be supported by an epic midnight opening at HMV’s flagship Trocadero Store, along with a VIP launch party in a secret underground bunker, headlined by one of the UK’s biggest male artists of 2009.

Good post. I hate some of the ignorant user comments though. Take this one for instance:

The thing I disliked about Call of Duty 4 on PC was how hard it was to find a server that actually just let me play the game's multiplayer without a bunch of absurd little mods/tunings.

face+palm

Are people really this stupid? There's a mods "yes/no" switch in the server browser, and it defaults to NO. Ugh.

People just love to offer their opinion without having a clue about what they're talking about.

ID10T. There should be 2 interfaces to every game: The basic ID10T one, and then a tab at the top that says, "1337". That should solve that problem ;)

This guy clearly hasn't actually played Call of Duty 4 on the PC. All ranked servers use vanilla settings, outside of a few small considerations, like player count... and it's not difficult to filter your search to fit those parameters either. I usually hate it when people say, "you haven't played the game!" but this guy clearly doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

If ease of use was a serious issue, I wouldn't be against some form of matchmaking. The problem I have is that they're using that to rationalize their decision to toss mods and dedicated servers out the window, and frankly, they're not mutually exclusive. It's fucking insulting that they think their double talk and rationalizing would fly. We're not fucking stupid, and they're treating us like we were born yesterday.

Did I mention they were fucking liars? ;)

A comment that couldn't be more true, and obviously so (and funny...). This is what bugs me so much about gamer conversions, we have to listen to an insufferable amount of hype for exclusives and then games that are truly great never get enough credit due to their being no real reason to hype them. I can only imagine how insane the hype would be for GTA4 if that would have been exclusive lol.

Oddly none of this makes MW2 a horrible game. Less value than CoD4 when it was released, but come on, PC gamers are dieing to get a decent shooter. Even more CoD4 MW2 looks better and deeper--and IW is right, it should be more accessable and value to typical gamers (and weed out a lot of piracy).

I hate consolized games. I hate the fact Halo 3 has a ton of options that are worthless without a server browser. Bungie lied. Turn10 are some of the biggest... yeah. Don't get me started with EA and DICE (180 degree turn after BF:V release e.g.) These companies over promise, gloss over the uncomfortables, etc all the time.

While I would miss Ded Servers in CoD4 MW2, I cannot think of a single mod I liked. Due to the complexity of asset design and the skill needed in most of these games not following FC2's steps, modding is a dieing field, just like PC game sales.

No ded servers makes this a sure 360 sale for me, the end result doesn't change too much how I played the games. I would guess the comeptitive gamers would stay on the more established, stable, and less "over the top" CoD4 anyhow. I don't agree with IW's move, but then again I am not sure it makes from a business perspective for IW to not lock customers down, diminish piracy, and offer more potential DLC sales. The PC version was SURE to sell the least -- even WORSE THAN THE FREAKING PS3 FOR CRYING OUT LOUD -- so further reducing sales doesn't make sense.

They should have been more up front from day 1. That is the big problem. Now they can join Valve, EA, Dice, Turn10, Microsoft, Sony, etc in this exclusive club of companies with PR not worth the toilet paper I wipe my butt with.

I'm not dying for a new shooter. You're talking to an audience that still plays CS 1.6. We don't need a new entry into every franchise, every year.

As someone who participates in competition, no mods is a deal breaker. And as a gamer (note, no platform attached) who appreciates how much mods have done for the genre, it should be a deal breaker for everyone else too. The mod scene is still capable of producing retail quality content. Just look at source. Assuming otherwise is short sighted. This isn't just bad for PC gamers, it's bad for shooter fans in general.

Lets hope others don't follow in Infinity Ward's footsteps. Don't be naive. Ease of use is not the issue here. Ease of use and mod/dedicated server support are NOT mutually exclusive concepts!

PC Gamers are paying more for less. All consumers should be concerned about such issues.. and there's nothing wrong with the vocal dissent. It's hard for people on both sides of the issue to have an intelligent discussion about it, which is a shame, because it belittles some of the more reasonable concerns that people are trying to voice.

Just because hardcore gamers (and this isn't about platform) aren't the bread and butter of this industry anymore, our opinions are still valuable. These giant publishers are so short sighted sometimes.. it's sad.

And no, it doesn't make it a bad game, but it does excessively deplete its value to me.. and it concerns me that people are just willing to overlook broader issues and just take everything pubs give us laying down.

Fuck that.

The game has officially been leaked. Or rather another French person stole a copy of the game from a manufacturing facility.

"shocking" new detail
There is an option to turn on 3rd person camera in private matches, and there are a couple of matchmaking playlists that are 3rd person oriented.

So if you want to avoid the game's story being spoiled, I'd say it's a good time to avoid all gaming related websites and forums.

But even if there is LAN support, it doesn't really change the fact that FourZeroTwo was completely dishonest in that interview.

If we had a games media worth the elevated opinion of itself somebody would have asked him the question, why did you say X when you clearly had IWnet in the works. Sadly we don't or those that would like to ask that question know that it's just not worth their while.

Was it definitely someone in France? Technicolor? Man it's always from there!

Anyway, there is a fun mission in the game that has a nice little twist in the way it plays out. It's also the reason the BBFC gave it an 18. I did think at the time it would be fun just to be dropped into this scenario without any prior knowledge so if you want to enjoy the campaign "pure" so to speak, be very careful what you click on as it's bound to come out in short order.
