Black Saturday 10/17/09 - No Dedicated Servers and Mod Tools Announced
See BASHandSlash.com - Home (http://bashandslash.com/)
The news today put a stake thru the heart of most PC gamers and most feel its the end of the community and competition aspect of PC gaming we all came to love especially with the COD series. This could be end of the leagues like CEVO, TWL etc.., the end of gaming server companies like GameServers and the end of the clan community as we know it.
Let us show IW and Activision they are making a big mistake and they are letting many PC sales worldwide go to waste by not supporting dedicated servers and mod tools. Many innovations in this game came from PC mods done by PST Joker and other modders. Things like the C130 cannon and many other innovations. Many great games like CounterStrike itself has come from modders. Also custom maps and mods like 402's favorite Star Was mod came from the modding community. Its a shame that IW and Activision has forgotten where its roots came from. The PC community has supported the game greatly since the first version. There are still many players that play the previous versions. Console gamers should appreciate the things we have forced on the game: Larger maps, stats and more than 4 player maps came about so consoles could offer as much as PC versions of games. A lot of 360 gamers wanted dedicated servers for 360. Instead of pushing the console side to its limits they have decided to dumb down the PC version and not offer the many features we have had for years in FPS games. This is not progress or an improvement! This is a giant leap backwards!!!
Please sign this thread to let IW and Activision know that you as a consumer support the PC version and that they are losing the opportunity to make even more sales by not supporting mod tools and dedicated servers and release a better product. At the very least they can patch it into the game after release. Much like Treyarch put in COD TV, additional maps and other DLC afterward we would hope that Activision/Infinity Ward would realize the benefits of supporting and expanding the PC version to the fullest. It will only make the game better for everyone and eventually the console community can get mods and broadcasting eventually also and other benefits innovated with the PC first.
Let us let IW know that we want these things in the game in order for it to be a truly complete game and not an unfinished product.
