Modern Warfare 2 - We Need Your Help!

<div style="width: 500px; text-align: center" align="center">The Call of Duty Division is asking for your help.

Saturday morning, the community manager for Infinity Ward dropped a bomb on the Call of Duty community during a podcast interview on BashandSlash.com stating there would be NO DEDICATED SERVERS and NO MOD SUPPORT in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Instead, you will be connected using an IW.net matchmaking system much like consoles use, essentially making everyone use each other as listen servers.
What this means for us is no dedicated server, no admins, no custom maps, essentially no community - basically everything that makes eGO great.

I am in awe of the lack of support for our favorite form of gaming.
If we want to play first person shooters on consoles, we would buy a console.

This is an outrage, and I am asking two things of people:

1. Click here to sign the petition.
It may or may not help, but it can't hurt to try.

2. If you have pre-ordered Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, cancel it.
The one thing that might persuade Infinity Ward is money. As they say, "Money talks."

This is a great community, and we have tons of players. Let's see if we can get the folks at Infinity Ward to change their minds.

Even if you don't play Call of Duty, imagine if this were to happen to your favorite game or possibly the next itteration of your favorite, i.e., TF2, DoD:S or CS:S. Can you imagine your game without dedicated servers?

We had high hopes for this as a new addition to eGO.
Unless me make an impact now, this is the future of PC gaming.


Thank you,

Here are the snippets:

We're doing a lot on the backend to make the game accessible for everyone.
There is no delay for the PC version of MW2
There's prestige mode
Jason West at the MP event, said that he was dead on, on the matchmaking servers. We've been building a system on the backend called IW.NET.
You are completely reliant on IW.NET. There are no server lists. There are no dedicated servers.
You have private matches where you can customize the game
You cannot put MW2 on a dedicated server.
This is the first time we've ever done something like this and the team has huge plans for what IW.NET develops into.
Customizing your game...you have quite a few options in a private match
You're getting same game (as in Console), plus matchmaking and private match.
Server admin point of view, NO DEDICATED SERVERS</div>

i dont play COD but this is completely stupid on the companies part. I dont like this at all. If they still go trough with it, stop playing COD:MW2. Dont even get on the website, send them bunches and bunches of hate mail and phone calls. tel them your support for it is going to stop if they dont fix it. If i wanted a non dedicated server game, id buy a ps3, xbox 360 or a wii.

Well, consider if CSS had matchmaking only. No jailbreak man. No admin.

I personally don't like jailbreak, and I don't care about What if's. The fact of the matter is that Css does not have matchmaking.


Despite not being my personal opinion on the matter, I will raise the olive branch.


Signed, in support of it becomming a division of eGO.

olive branch accepted for now, just don't whip our division with it when we turn our backs.

Lets get this thread on track again with more signatures.

This is a stupid call of IW. I could care less about automatic matchmaking. If i would buy the game id want to play with the people in eGO not some random punks.

PS-not buying this game for the reason that they raised the price on the PC version as well...

Wow, that was a stupid move. I am going to get MW2 eventually for PC, and of course I'd love to play on eGO MW2 servers.

Im signing the petition.

 

[bottleoftheFUNK]

signed, for those who dont think this is a big deal, please keep your comments respectful, some just are really passionate about this game and the community

not canceling pre-order though, getting a discount, there should be enough smacks in the face for infinity ward and activision to fix this

I don't like the game but signed it. Lobby system is horrible. Only works for l4d because its a small game.
