That should be "Damn you're like my mother!", with possibly a comma after "damn" depending on the way you wanted to say it.

Wow, just wow.Quote:
Talking about upcoming and expensive Activision titles such as Modern Warfare 2, Kotick said: “if it was left to me, I would raise the prices even further.”
Maybe the choice quotes of the event, though, came when Kotick talked about Activision’s developers; you know, the guys who actually make the stuff he gets so rich from. You’d think he’d have a bit of respect for them, right? Oh no, Kotick’s goal over the past 10 years has been – you couldn’t make this up – “to take all the fun out of making video games.” How? By instilling a culture of “scepticism, pessimism, and fear” amongst the company’s staff based around the economic depression and an incentive program that rewards “profit and nothing else”.

Roll on BF BC2, im tired of these clowns and their rape of the community already.
The only reason i try to build quick PCs if for FPS, once they make that an unattractive proposition on PC a good laptop is all i will need.
Thanks IW, you really know how to thank the folk that didnt pirate your products.
I hope your mothers all die in freak yachting accidents, you money grubbing souless...anyway you get the point.

the guy tries to explain exactly how the system is going to work. So scrimmage etc will be possible, you do get to set the rules and invite people but you don't get to run your own dedicated server, instead the system connects you to one run by IW. Thus you can have private matches, if my understanding is correct.
So if the server you get connected to is actually low-ping (and/or located in the middle between the gaming parties geographically), then it should be not bad. Should being the keyword.
So it's not as bad as L4D matchmaking.
I also noticed that the guy lists his game collection on his site. PC titles are numbered in 26, while console titles take many pages. In other words, one of the guys who gets to call the shots is a hardcore consoleer. :shakes:
that guy seems to be so evil that I actually like him :DQuote:

I came from the console to a PC and you know what i read about a guy who has vista running on his xbox 360 because the os sucked. The PC is supirior because we can do more than just play games and watch movies. We can browse the internet. And when it comes to playing games we can have up to 64 MAN servers. I want to see you console do that.
This as well:
Matchmaking for the PC didnt work before so what make you think it does now. The big difference between the consoles and the PCs is that the Consoles are identical and our PC well i cant find a number to explain how different they can be.
402 is the IW mouthpiece thats all, apart from being a well known Xbox 360 fanboy he is hardly going to come out and say IWNet is a pile of rubbish.IW have changed a working system with a completely untried system simply to try and eke out a few extra dollars by making PC gamers pay for DLC. They want us to buy into this system 'sight unseen', with no demos and only their say so that it will be excellent. Sorry but a little under 2 months ago 402 stated at shacknews:-
"The PC side will be the same as always"
So in effect he lied to us, then when we complain we get a load of BS about we did it for the fans and your nto helping yourself by this stunt. 402 states IWNet is a major investment, well the whole purpose of an investment is to get returns on it at a later date thus they are not very well going to implement IWNet for love and chuckles are they.
As many have said elsewhere, "MW2 is now a $60 Beta, buy it at your peril". This is a sentiment I am in 100% agreement with.
Yea and how well did that work for microsoft and games for windows live again. Um its now completely free.Quote:

I say they pay us to play this steaming pile of :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:.
OFF TOPIC about writing: for those of you who are native english speakers its the same whether its written perfectly in english or not because you will understand it anyways. But you should think that XS is an international forum and, as such, many of us are not native english speakers so as if it wasn't difficult enough to understand you when you are writing as you have to, somebody just starts missing dots and letters which means we do not understand :banana::banana::banana::banana: of what you are trying to say.
So, please, writing correctly is totally free, so don't be so bloody lazy and do it.
Sorry for that huge OT, It pisses me off not to understand some replies because they are so poorly written...
Back on topic...100k signatures are A HELL of them! If you think that we are talking about pre-orders and that the system IW is going to run costs money, then 100k means a huge amount of people.
Besides, what the :banana::banana::banana::banana: they are thinking? That we are a bunch of idiots that do not even know how to read? Jesus, its damn easy to see which server is using which mod, map and everything, they think we are damn bots or something. I'm not buying this crappy game, thats for sure...:shakes::shakes::shakes::shakes::shakes:
If you love the language so much why do you keep swearing? That is just as offputing as bad grammar
i completely agree.Quote:

No insult to the XBox360 players but most of them nvr really did any gaming on the PC and therefor dont know what they are missing and how badly their MP games have been butchered. hell some console players i know think its normal to pay for extra maps.
Today at work i talked to a guy who was planning on getting it on the xbox360 and he asked me what the entire fuss was about. It ended up with him cancelling his pre-order and signing the petition.
He was already annoyed about the crappy player limits and now he is thinking of getting a game worthy PC.
I decided to start a PC gamer blog on www.destructoid.com. The community has inspired me as well! Please support me!Quote:

There is no servers, just a bunch of random people all connected to eachother.Quote:

i understand the feeling of being upset, i'm not some cyborg with no emotions. but there is a right way and a wrong way to approach an issue. some people are approaching it absolutely the wrong way. i'm an artist and i make no decisions on what goes on. i make cool vehicles and guns, that's it. wishing my family death and telling me to die slowly is backwards productive to any sort of idea that you are trying to champion. people have been directing a lot of very angry messages to me through the internet. i've shrugged them off or tried to reason with them, most of which are happy to engage in dialog. that's not a problem to me at all, i'm well aware of internet rage. but when you wish me and my family a slow death is where i draw the line.
i feel like i owe this apology to the people who interpreted my message as one that was addressed to the entire pc community. please understand that it was not. i'm not an :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::b anana:, i don't hate the pc community, and i don't want that idea to be spread.
