tkrow21 Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Just want to update that everyone is doing AMAZING with the boycott. Preorders are below L4D2, Dragon Age Origins, Borderlands, and even below the purchases of ArmA II. Epic win for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhenKittensATK Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 They will probably do what they did with L4D. Give you an option to use the matchmaking system or use a server browser to view player created games like on L4D and Killzone 2. I highly doubt they are going to drop this system and move back to dedicated servers. Well, because they just seem dedicated to how they want the new MW2's matchmaking system to be implemented on PC.

tkrow21 Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 They're taking out dedicated servers for money, but once they see that no one's buying the game, they might reconsider that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, because they just seem dedicated to how they want the new MW2's matchmaking system to be implemented on PC. they could keep dedicated servers and their matchmaking system, by having the system send you to servers with the criteria that you need to join however they aren't gonna do that because they need that dominatrix like control so that they can make you pay, but they wont support the servers themselves because god forbid their precious IWnet costs more money then they really need to spend to steal money from their "precious" customers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QMax Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 It would be great to have matchmaking and dedicated servers. Sometimes I get home late and want to play some CoD4 but all my favourite servers are near empty. So to find a good server, I need to refresh the server list...*go to the bathroom, go for a smoke, grab a bite to eat....* ok done. Find a good server and play. I know it's not a big hassle, but to find the best game, requires the full refresh. That's where I think matchmaking can be useful. However, to have to completely rely on their system is like putting us into tubes that spit you out into a random game. Disgusting, I can't even see all the tubes and pick which one to take...trapped. I'll buy it when dedicated servers are implemented...

I never preorder because you pay extra and you don't even get the game the day it comes out. Pretty gay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since when does preorder mean you pay extra. Your preorder price counts for the total price of the game. So if you drop down $5, it means you paid for $5 of the total $50 or $60. So when the game releases you just pay the leftover $45 or $55 + tax. You don't pay extra. If you preorder games, you do get them on release day. Most release dates you see online are the shipping dates. The dates they ship the games to the stores, unless there is a midnight launch.

Pretty gay. you dont pay extra. you just pay full price. but then you realise two days after release that another retailer has it in stock selling for $10 below rrp also regarding pre orders down. thats pretty surprising considering the really expensive bundle of Night vision goggles preorders sold out everywhere just for clarification, which publishers can we still buy games off? boycot activision over this, boycot valve over L4D2, boycot EA over antipiracy measures and year after year sequel. are there any goodones left? lol Edited October 27, 2009 by bilcliff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkrow21 Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 also regarding pre orders down. thats pretty surprising considering the really expensive bundle of Night vision goggles preorders sold out everywhere That was before anyone knew about the whole dedicated server fiasco. Also, note, that the bundle wasn't available for the PC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
