It figures. IW/Activision doesn't care about our protest. We probably only reduced their sales by 5% or less. In some ways, the publicity generated probably encouraged console sales and may have actually increased their overall revenue. They won't learn their lesson, unless the lesson is "it's ok the alienate the PC "fringe"".
I agree with metachronos too. DICE isn't any better. They may play along as a way to poach some COD players for themselves. But in the long run EA doesn't care about PC players either - they have proven that historically.
Seven million sales from which 12% are from the PC version.
If those numbers are true, we could safely assume that had the boycott not existed, the PC version would have gotten 100k more sales, meaning it would have been a whooping 14% from the cake at best!
That's the PC market on these overhyped and multiplatform games. And only on the first day...
I think with time people will drop the boycott and buy the game nonetheless. It's getting so much press that I'm sure a lot will not be able to ignore the game anymore.
Well, going by user reviews I've seen the MP is a lagfest. And since I spend 99.99999% of my time on MP, the game is dead to me unless dedicated servers come into play.
i played it today with my brother on xbox and i have to say its a disgrace to the COD lineup, they took team fortress 2, COD5, COD4, and mashed them all together and called it a game. My brother kept setting up automated sentry turrets and destroying people everytime they walked into this hallway on the airport map, it was hilarious. The graphics were terrible by comparison to COD4. The sounds, and game models were all copied over from the first modern warfare, and its completely unbalanced multiplayer. Which was something they tried to avoid in COD4.
mine's working fine!! no problems!! its a great game too - better than cod4!! except.....the way you have to log onto steam to play it!!! this is an epic fail! it ruins the game!! so if your internets down you cant play!!! rubbish!!! and no dedicated servers!!! fail!!! installation is a fail too - you have to download some steam updateds then blah blah blah....steam.....fail!
why cant they just make it like cod4/5 install it to you hd then put the key in and play???
this will annoy all pc gamers!!! good game but riuned by all of the above!

Good lord. You are just now figuring this out? It's really unfortunate that some PC gamers apparently purchased this POS sight unseen, and are learning the hard way.

Doesn't "Steam>File> Go offline" work with MW2?

I read that as pro-MW2.
Not everyone seems to see it as I do.
I wanted to hit the kotaku writer.
im not surprised either lol
Uh, you join the boycott of a the game, join a Steam group dedicated to it, yet two days after the launch of said game you can be seen playing it?
That's not telling good of the game, it's telling bad of the people. No Boycott will be taken seriously ever if this is what happen.
It seems that the only people who really canceled their pre-orders where those who posted a proof, or have a different Steam username than the one they use on forums...
And even those may be buying the game soon.
PC Gaming is getting screwed, and we can't do a thing about it.
Not dying, just becoming an after thought.
Um, yeah?
I hate them as much as you do for screwing over the PC community, but in all fairness, MW2 should be more than a decent game.
INTEL Core i7 920 // ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 // OCZ 3G1600 6GB // POWERCOLOR HD5970 // Cooler Master HAF 932 // Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme // SAMSUNG T260 26"Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
it is, accept for the issues we pointed out before release that would ruin the gameplay experience. First of all, ping is definitely an issue, you shoot people standing still directly and they turn and shoot you in the face as if it never happened on very consistent occasion. Another terrible thing is the host, when the host leaves the game freezes for like 15 seconds, right in the middle, if this happens multiple times, which it can, game play is hardly seamless, its freaking terrible. Also not having lean is just freaking retarded i mean WTF!!!!!!!! seriously, its as if they absolutely completely skipped pc development. They spent 99.9% of the time developing this stupid IWnet crap and spent .01% on the actual pc development, there is absolutely no reason to remove lean from this game other than the fact that they didnt want to spend any time do anything to change the game for pc, ass holes. 16 player limit absolutely blows to, but its not that bad, it wouldnt be a deal breaker if that was the only issue.
As for the graphics not being as good as COD4 as someone said above. Take a wild
Im sure most you can guess right, exspecially if you read the interview.
In all honestly the game would be freaking amazingly fun with just dedicated servers and lean, be the same game with extra
ps: i didnt buy the game, i played it at a lan center to get an opinion. I knew it would blow, but im an open minded person.

That lean was missing was the first thing i noticed too, what the hell?!!!
This is why people boycotting the game are wasting their time. Anyone who seriously thought that a few thousand lost pre-orders was going to cause even a minor irritation for Activision was delusional. This game was always going to sell well, but the hardcore PC gamers seem to think that they, and their money, actually matter.
88% of that was console.
so the 12% that was pc... is 840 000.. 170k of that is sigs, is 20% of the pc community, which is about right as the hardcore gamers are not the majority, casual gamers do make up most of the sales, but hc support it through mods, servers etc... IW wanted to cut them out, and did so successfully.
70k + downloads of it on PC ... is a lot of lost sales. And although relatively 6 million is lost sales is small... its still 6 million they could have had, because you cant tell me it would have cost 6 mill in man power to implement those features... IW net couldnt have been cheap either.. They cut corners and allocated labour accordingly 88% dedicated to making the game console friendly 12% to iwnet, which will allow IW and Activision to emulate an XBL ecosystem, which is what i m sure they re planning, but they dont get, that pc s are not consoles.
Money always matters, the share price dropped on their launch day, 2 $ and only rose 23 cents today on the news...
