Its hard to believe the developers are really this stupid. But the word is out, they're going to destroy the new MW2 game. There will be NO dedicated servers. So there will be NO admin control to kick out problem players. There will be no server lists or way for you to go to your favorite. This also means NO mods and NO custom maps.

Well, I don't really understand that, but I gather that it makes it, what.....controlled by the game writers and not customizable or controllable by end users? And what's that about making everyone into console players? I don't play this game or use a console system, so again, I don't understand it.
But I wouldn't worry about it--it it's worth making a work-around for, the gaming community will find it, and if it's too difficult or there's a better product out there, this game will simply fail as a commercial success, and some other, bigger, badder, newer FPS will take over. That's how the free market is supposed to work, so we should just let it. I hope those "geniuses" trying to control everything and squeeze every nickel out of it to the detriment of end-users take a bath in the red ink, if that's the case.

Yep they will be getting back my game that I pre ordered next week and choke on it.. They say their goal is too make the pc version play like the console game, well I say too hell with that. If I wanted too play console style game, I would damn well buy the console game too play. GRRRRRRRR Ohh but im not bitter at all. And as you stated something else will take its place.. I will be looking for a good shooter too run a server for that we CAN mod.

Too bad The Onion doesn't have either the brains or the guts to add in the real problem, the Celebrity In Chief who won't support the troops.

I've been playing the MW2 singleplayer game, and its really incredible. I've been looking into the rumors of a dedicated server hack for this game, and it seems to be getting closer. There are reports of working coop games already. Its strange that players with a cracked version of the game may actually get a better playing experience, but that's the position IW has put us in. If people want something bad enough, they'll get it. If IW doesn't want to sell the game people want to play, then they'll just get it WITHOUT paying IW anything.

There's quite a few people working on breaking this game code apart and fixing it. If you're interested, you can read about some of it. www.teknogods.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=14www.fpsadmin.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=113I've discovered that you can manually edit your player profile to add new binds and set dvars. The game engine is very similar to COD4, so most of the commands work. You just have no way to type them during the game without a console. For example: I have my binds set up to change my stance up and down with the mouse wheel. This is impossible to do from the game menu. You can also force change options like FOV and show/hide the breath and climb hints.

I too have been hearing good things on the single-player missions, but some say certain weapons are "missing" (no FAL, for example).
I plan on getting a new system in the Spring, and at that time, I'll probably get this game for the single player missions, but maybe by then it will be "fixed" ?

The FAL is there, with your choice of red dot sight, Acog, underbarrel shotgun or M203.

Sorry, I misread the posts elsewhere--you're right. What others say is missing is an HK G3, "especially since the FAL is there."
U DA MAN, Lam!

I have not played mw 2, and probably will not until they release dedicated patch or some one finds a way to crack the game so i can run it dedicated.
DVT clan is taking a look at battlefield 2 bad company that is due to release in March.
