Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Epic Fail

So today Mr Bowling decides to announce to the world  ’exclusive information‘ on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Now don’t get too excited as its NOT good news for the PC community, not sure why I am surprised …. Mr Bowling has managed to post 2, yes that’s TWO, posts in the PC forum in over a month. This just shows how excited he must be.

The Good news

  • MW3 will have dedicated servers i.e. they commented the code back in from CoD4 – Lets face it its the same engine with some additions ! Its an insult to the PC community to say they have been listening which is why this was added back, the PC community has been asking for Dedi’s since the MW2 fiasco. I suspect the only reason they added this is to prevent every Pre Order being cancelled.
  • RCON is back :-) This is good news as its a very handy tool for us ‘experienced’ PC gamers

The Bad news

  • They are still using Vac and some ‘internal’ anti cheat – Well they worked well in MW2 didn’t they
  • Max players is 18. WHY??????
The whole post is a big Insult to the PC community and Mr Bowling should be ashamed to post it, not that he cares as he is a console gamer  as was proved during the MW2 fiasco.
I for one am cancelling my pre order, There is no way I am going to give these people any more of my hard earned cash for a two bit console port. I urge every PC player to cancel their pre order as well.
As far as perspective PC purchasers go I suspect that that one post has killed any support the PC community will ever give them. For an interesting viewpoint follow Rudedog on twitter.

Some Classic quotes from the ‘exclusive’ item

Oh and before we start I really suggest that Mr Bowling READS what he posts, the number of spelling and formatting errors is a joke – Just shows how seriously he takes the PC community.

‘We value the PC player and have gone to great lengths inproviding a more rich experience for our players. We keep our ear near the ground and try todeliver items most requested’

Err where have they been getting this feedback from? It seems to me that all they have managed to do is comment back in the CoD4 dedi server code and Rcon code. The PC community asked you BEFORE the MW2 fiasco to provide dedi servers so in fact they were told not to remove them.

I’m extremely excited about the PC version of Modern Warfare 3 this year, because we’ve been taking your feedback since Modern Warfare 2,and the franchise as a whole, on what you wanted to see in the PC version of Modern Warfare 3 and the team at Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games has put aton of emphasis on delivering a PC experience that brings in all the great things we added in Modern Warfare 2

What a load of marketing gibberish. Mr Bowling is in no way excited about the PC version, two post on the PC forum in over a month just proves that. This is also backed up by his total lack of support for PC gamers during the MW2 fiasco. I seriously question how a ‘Community Manager’, or whatever the title is this week, that only plays on consoles should be allowed to represent the community as a whole.

Beyond that, we know our PC audience has sent in a ton of questions to us via @fourzerotwo, Sledgehammer Games’s QotW,  and to the forums and wanted to knock out someof the most asked questions in a quick and easy FAQ so that you can make a fulland informed decision when pre-ordering Modern Warfare 3.

Ah so Mr Bowling didn’t even write the post. So he’s not excited about the PC version – I wonder who is?

No. We chose to keep lean out of the game to keep the gameplay experience universal across all platforms. This was a gameplay design decision.

This is laughable. What he really means is that since a console can’t support lean, due to the controller, they have not bothered to implement it on the PC. That has to be the most pathetic excuse I have ever seen. Every other FPS, even console ported games, support Lean. This is just laziness on the part of the designers.

Will there be Modtools for Modern Warfare 3 on PC?

Mod Tools will not be shipped at launch.  As always we are continually evaluating features to support post launch and this is one requiring further discussion.

What he really means is NO so why not just come out and say it.

 

How is Modern Warfare 3 on PC handling anti-cheat?

Security is a major focus for Modern Warfare 3, especially coming out of Modern Warfare 2. We will be utilizing multiple methods of Anti-cheat and Security methods, including Steam’s VAC system, CEG, and our own propriety methods implemented to provide multiple layers of defense in keeping online multiplayer fun, fair, and secure for all players without limiting the control they expect on PC.

So the only Anti cheast is VAC? CEG is designed to prevent people copying the game and I seriously doubt that the devs have put any form of anti cheat into the game as that would be a waste of time when there are better products out there.
