WTF is MW2 managment plan on doing to our cod series?
Treachery!
) Embrace the suck. |
Call of Duty community manager Rob Bowling, also known as 'fourzerotwo', has confirmed in a podcast that the PC version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will not support user-created mods. Worse, it will not support dedicated servers. PC gamers will have to suffer peer-to-peer connections, just like their console-owning cousins.
Mr. Bowling could offer no defence for this move, and simply stated that: “The team's focusing on having it very equal on every platform” and “We're doing a lot of work on the back end.”
Previous PC versions of CoD have supported dedicated servers. Their absence will apparently make the game “much more accessible to the PC community as a whole.”

The highly anticipated video game of 2009 going into 2010 is Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. With thousands of people already putting deposits down to make sure they receive their copy of the released game on November 10th, the excitement is starting to rise. Infinity Ward is carefully not releasing to much information of this release to soon or too quick. Gamers are searching the web daily to find any new information on this beloved game. Infinity Ward has hosted contests to entice gamers to watch small clips of the new coming video game and try to figure out what the game will entail. This video game that has stolen the hearts of many gamers around the world has a countdown to the remaining days left until they can get their hands on that beautifully rectangular shaped box from their local gaming store that will be sure to have lines and crowds of people waiting at the doors on the releasing day (or night).
Infinity Ward released the 2nd major trailer of the highly anticipated game title Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 last night during NFL Steelers game. With nothing but intense excitement from the fan base of the game, IW revealed more of what the story line will play out to be, adding to the previously released trailer some months ago. Excitement so intense, fans had a bit of trouble logging on to the Infinity Ward forums to post their opinions, while Robert Bowling, Community Manager at IW tweeted last week “…this is the one I've been waiting for!” While keeping in mind the story line from the 1st Modern Warfare, and the 1st reveal trailer of Modern Warfare 2, the new trailer seems to show what effect the story will have on the U.S. section of the of the battle, ending with an epic scene of what looks to be Washington D.C. in shambles, after what we can only assume Vladimir Makarov, the associate of Imran Zakhaev, has done to bring the battle to U.S. soil. This is a bit different from the 1st reveal trailer which started itself where the 1st story line left off, on the bridge where the main character “Soap” takes out Zakhaev and his personal staff, then showing the fight which proceeded through Rio de Janeiro.
Adding to the intense graphics of the trailer, the dialog throughout the trailer hints to it being spoken by Makarov, and talks about the death of a brother, revenge, and how meaning of combat isn't felt until it's held on familiar soil, supporting more the theory of Makarov trying to get this battle state side to the U.S.
As fans watch, and re-watch the video until they're hearts are content, and yearning for more, the release of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on November 10th should be an epic day in the world of gaming.
