If you want to know why the PC versions of MW2/MW3 were screwed up...read this.

Seeing that somebody deleted my post, I assume that IW doesn't want me to tell the PC community the truth about why our version of MW2/MW3 has been screwed up the most. Too bad that Google Cache exists, so I didn't have to look everything up once again. Well, here you go. Read it and make up your opinion.

Moderators, you can ban me if telling the truth is an offense to you. Using Google Cache and registering a new account isn't hard, reposting that over and over again isn't either.

Read the posts by NTAuthority. They're all about MW2, but provide an interesting insight on how development was going on at Infinity Ward back then in 2009. The second thread is a bit more complicated, as it requires some advanced knowledge about maps and the game's overall structure, but is interesting nonetheless. Now read some interviews about the IW vs. Activision case, which resulted in almost half of IW's employees leaving and moving to Respawn. You might even feel understanding why MW3 turned out to be such a huge **** up. After that, you'll most probably feel that you've wasted your money on a game that was supposed to fail from the beginning of its production and won't be even fixed properly (note the properly, that means fixes which would make the game playable).

Interesting, isn't it? Now discuss.

Or just wait until IW5M is released, it will have some of those features implemented (those which are technically possible, like a semi-functional developer console, proper anti-cheat or a numerical ping counter, that's already in the game but still left inactive by IW.)

Just don't hope for them to fix the game on PC, you'll get disappointed.

BO isn't a console port.

It's just poorly optimized for PC, whereas MW2 is a console port, but the PC optimization is awesome.

Spamming them doesn't do any harm. It just shows that the CoD community (if such a thing even exists) is a bunch of immature spamming kids, nothing more.

If "players" are too dumb to recognize that they're being screwed over, but still throw money at the people doing that, then...well, then you can't do anything at all.

If you really want to show IW/ATVI/whoever that you are screwed over as a gamer, then stop buying their games. Simple as that. Although it's clear that everybody will buy the next CoD hoping for improvements.

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 21:40:53 GMT

Actually the stuff I posted doesn't say much about ATVI, but that's just what you can assume after having read this and some articles about the IW lawsuit.

I never got why people are buying DLC. And I probably never will. Poor mindless people.

Wow, this thread is so pointless. You're not the first to come up with complaining about how shitty the PC version is and the devs had enough time to "fix" it since release or even before that. They didn't do anything at all, why do you think they'll bother if YOU post some **** on these forums nobody even reads?

Get it into your head, this game will NOT be fixed. Well, at least not officially (if you know what I mean). Period. Nothing more to say.

Infinity Ward cares about modders? I don't see any mod tools being released, do you?

Solution: Get an overpowered gayspray-weapon and (if you still have problems by then) use Steady Aim.

(Sarcasm is intended. Well, actually it's the bitter truth about the skill level required to play this game.)

Re: Someone ever dreams of something bad happening to Activision?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 22 Jun 2012 12:19:48 GMT

Yes, I do.

Mainly to their CEO and other managers in high positions, because they're some greedy bastards ruining our games.

I don't know about that one, but please learn to use question marks properly. It's irritating the way you do it.

Regarding your question: Try to look for some older patchnotes or just wait for somebody else to respond.

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 20:41:42 GMT

The only WTF about your post (aside from your all caps "looking-like-a-12-year-old"-rage) is, that you actually bought the DLC.

Re: DLC2 Complaint's ? :)

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 19:49:54 GMT

Complaints? Yeah.

Even though matchmaking seems to be reverted to "prior-to-DLC1"-state, dedicated servers are still ******* up. It's completely impossible to play on dedis, because when you start the game and immediately go to the serverlist, there's literally 2 servers showing up.

Who coded their crap master server anyway?

2 years ago buying a laptop sounded like a better idea to me than right now.

Well, they "care" about it running on laptops, as it's a justification (which would be "making the game accessible for a wider audience") for not making a proper PC version.

Re: They just gave us a giant middle finger - DLC 2 coming in 1-2 weeks...

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 19 Jun 2012 14:39:35 GMT

Yeah, I know that map size on PC isn't that limited as on consoles (at least when you have a semi-decent PC), but I wanted to say that nobody at Infinity Ward would care to make larger maps just for PC players.

I'd also like to play another shooter like MoH, but unfortunately my laptop is too weak for that engine and I can't afford a new PC at the moment. :/

Meh, I'll go back to CoD 4 and MW2 dedis (they exist in case you didn't know and think I'm a noob.) if there's nothing else.

Re: They just gave us a giant middle finger - DLC 2 coming in 1-2 weeks...

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 19 Jun 2012 14:34:39 GMT

The next "pile of ****" isn't actually theirs, it's Treyarch's.

But I get what you want to say. Personally I never bought any CoD DLC nor will I do so in the future. The only "DLC" I have, is the Variety Map Pack for CoD 4 (Broadcast <3), which was free for PC gamers anyway.

Good old times. :')

As far as I know, NTAuthority has been coding now for over 10 years (regardless of him being 18-19 years old).

Keep in mind, he does NOT have access to the source code and the modifications are mostly done by reverse engineering the client and the Steam API.

Did I say it can't be done? Obviously not.

I said it wouldn't make any sense, as the map design limits it anyway and it would be just more work, even if it'd be easy to do (at least for Infinity Ward).

Read the posts by Apadayo and NTAuthority.

Yeah, everything sounds so easy, changing some stuff in the source code, but such maps wouldn't be possible on today's consoles with RAM being the limiting factor and no CoD developer would code a fully different game exclusively for PC.

Edit: They could change the maximum-clients-parameter, but seeing as the game is a console-build, that would make no sense whatsoever, with map design optimized to 12 players.

Re: MW3 mod tools please.

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 17 Jun 2012 20:45:41 GMT

It's impossible to read what you wrote there, just sayin'.

What do cheats have to do with mods? Do you even know what you're talking about?

AND mods wouldn't ruin the game. There'd still be plenty of vanilla servers to join (if they would get finally fixed).

Your argument is invalid.
