What a poor article. The game was known to be rated 18 by the BBFC on at least the 19th October, it would be up to the event organisers to inform people of this not Activision. Also the idea that the tournament has been ruined because of gameplay changes designed to appeal to casual players is pure conjecture. The last paragraph is just laughable scaremongering about monthly subscriptions (which originated on the PC and have been utterly popularised by MMORPGs of which there are only a tiny handful on consoles), DLC (which you used to pay for all the time when it was called an expansion pack and sold in a box) and this weird idea that console franchises release one game a year (I can’t think of any major console franchise which does this regularly except sports sims).

ambra

yes.
also I didnt see the numbers proving the actual failure yet.

Game is basically ruined, we all know that, but that looks more like a jump to conclusions way before actually trying the game (same thing that happened with the metascore thing: not even 1/10 of the voters bought or will ever buy/try the game)

I can agree with most of that, apart from the DLC part.
DLC doesn’t offer nearly as much extra content as an expansion.
So depending on the type (new campaigns, new weapons, new skins, new maps, …) it should imo be free.

they realise that they get alot more sales from the consoles than the stand alone PC so theyve put all their marketing into 360/ps3 and released a crappy port for PC. damn u for no dedicated.

Both that… and that many of the old developers from CoD4 that had experience with PC are doing other things now, not to mention the new community manager Robert Bowling who clearly is a 360 fanboy.

And the fact that CoD4 was a horrible, horrible game for a PC game as well.

Mouse support.

Ahahah, that’s some cool stuff. Good to see they brought the console back into the game somehow.

Although it’s weird that you can play on ranked servers with unlimited ammo and low gravity :D

ambra

so I finally got to try the cracked version in multiplayer and gotta say its not a “bad” game: its totally different from any other cod youve ever played.
It feels way more like a fast paced c:ss where you can run and use explosives all over the place and what makes you successful is the knowledge of the maps so youre never caught off guard cause no matter whats your setup, you will die after a couple of rounds in the neck which is pretty common since 90% of the weapons cann full auto with a decent accuracy.

there are many many more weapons with many many more unlocks to reward your performances with certain weapons plus there are tags that sound much like the hats in tf2 except those are related to your performance in game: basically when you get into the lobby everyone sees your nickname with a certain tag (you can choose) in the background. For example there is the “Joint Ops” tag with some leaves of weed and some smoke, there is the “High Caliber” tag with a magnum, the “noob tuber” tag with a huge hot dog and stuff like that.

as for the lobby thing, I’ve found and started games in a couple of seconds, but lag can be a bitch so I commend opening ports anyway

but theres still no dedi servers

ambra

there is a fan-software to unlock the console and through it theyve managed to create dedicated servers somehow (proof: video linked a few posts above); I still dont know how to connect there tho.

btw lag in game is annoying when you play with a sniper rifle because you need pinpoint precision to kill and the weapon has both crap precision and crap damage while any other automatic gun simply sprays in a direction and kills quite fast even without stopping power.

I had bad lag twice in 20 matches (and by bad i mean ping over 90 and/or stuttering making the game unplayable)

mrp.

so..
the game already contains the first dlc

somebody hacked the game(dedi servers, console, etc..)
