Modern Warfare 2 PC: 9v9 Multiplayer Max, No Lean, PC Version Unfinished, and More

[Shawn Zipay]

Listen, we all know what you came here to read about just based off of the topic. Here is a recent Q&A session with Infinity Ward about the PC version of Modern Warfare 2.

With the new IW.net, how many players can it support at one time with each server set-up, 8 vs 8, 12 vs 12, 16 vs 16, and how much bandwidth are we talking about per player basis, Upload and Download?

Mackey-IW
The max number of players on all platforms are 1v1 through 9v9. This is the number of players we focused on when we were balancing map size, perks, classes, challenges, etc.
<hr>
Is there lean in PC multiplayer.

Vince-IW
No.
<hr>
you said IWnet was created to help stop piracy, what do you say about the Xbox 360 version leaked and shared on torrent sites?

Vince-IW
IWnet was designed to make the MP experience on PC easier and more balanced.
<hr>
Vince-IW
No plans for a demo currently. We are still working on finishing the PC game right now (yes, I know... we need to get done!)

Also of note are the following:

• No "/record" feature
• IW knows about the petition
• Response to the petition is "All I can say is that we changed it to make it a better and easier experience. Also, not all of the names on that list are legit. " Yes, the wink was indeed used in the response.
• The change from 16v16 to 9v9 was made because 9v9 is more balanced and the gameplay was designed with a 9v9 balance in mind

The full list of Q&A can be found at the Infinity Ward forums. Other topics center around DLC on the PC (no comment was really given one way or another on if there will be a fee for PC DLC), clan issues, cheaters, and more.

More "better gameplay experiance " bullshit comming from IW

IW net was designed to cripple and standardize the PC platform to make way for micro transactions, thats the bottom line. nothing about the new system is better in any way shape or form.

Yeah, Bad Company was only fun for 1 day on Xbox 360. I can't wait for number 2 to have 2 days of fun!

I almost feel out of my chair lol at this. IW can so suck a big one... Worst gaming company on the face of the planet atm the moment. I'd like to know what Activision-Blizzard thinks of IW way of handling the game. I'm sure they aren't too happy, but again they don't have much control over it :S.

I'm looking forward to BF: BC2, sounds like its going to be a winner, anything made by DICE is always awesome fun.

Just reading the Q&A made me lol at how bad IW is as a company in general for PC gamers. They always wanted to be console only, but Activsion (before it was Activsion-Blizzard) wanted them to make PC versions also which I think they are screwing us PC people to stop being a "PC" company as much.

But again that can go burn in a fire of debt.


EDIT: I finished reading all of the stuff and totally over IW as a company, game dev. and MW2. Here I come BF: BC2!!!!

it's like IW wants the PC to fail. Can't blame them really, there's really no benefits on making PC games anymore.

I'm lovin' how they have decided for the end user what they feel is fun. Heaven forbid the end user find a way to play the game that is fun for themselves, or perhaps make the game their own and garner brand loyalty. All of these options should be user controlled, ON A DEDICATED SERVER UI!

I hate it when they limit the amount of players because they 'aimed' for that number to make stuff balanced. Sometimes players just want to throw the balance out of the window and go to an all-out war with 16vs16. We're trying to have fun here, stop ruining it!

Re: Modern Warfare 2 PC: 9v9 Multiplayer Max, No Lean, PC Version Unfinished, and Mor

Wow, just Wow...
I loved COD4, still do, still play a bit...

But reading this I wouldn't pay 10$ for this game, maybe I'd pay 5$ just for the single player campaign...

So yeah, my bid is 5$, they're asking 60$... so I'll just go spend my 5$ on something fun, like 25 rounds for my Glock... I wonder if they ever think about how by making their games so expensive they end up at a price point where they are actually competing with serious trigger time. (for adults who have a choice)

Where can you find ammo for 20 cents a bullet any more? Unless it is 9mm I can still get 9mm for 18 cents but that is not to often

Probably a reloader. Makes boolets so much cheaper when you reuse them.
