Is there a double exp weekend this weekend? Or is it for the PS3?

 

Nah, its double exp. to celebrate the release of the stimulus package, so 360 got their double exp. weekend when they got the stimulus package, so PS3 and PC get double exp as well. But everyone is boycotting the stimulus package on PC and for good reason. We never had to buy maps for our games until Modern Warfare 2, and once everyone boycotts it (except for the [developmentally delayed]s) I don't think they'll be pulling a stunt like that ever again.

 

Hopefully.

 

Oh, have you guys read about the strife at IW? I don't think modern warfare 3 is gonna be very good because just about everyone who headed the team has left, leaving a lot of spots to be filled but with no real experience. Not that I'm gonna go buy modrrn [cabbage]fare 3 anyway -.-.

Do you remember what happen the last time PC gamers got together for a massive boycott? Failed miserably. We 360 and PS3 users pay for our maps and never had dedicated servers and we don't whine and complain when something doesn't go our way.

You really don't want to open up this can of worms, it's a losing battle for all sides.

 

It won't matter, the point behind that boycott was that they were removing freedoms from the end-user: the consumers themselves. For example, the dedicated servers: IW removed that option from the legitimate consumer, removing freedoms that were, and still are THE NORM FOR ANY REPUTABLE PC MULTIPLAYER GAME. With those servers being removed, we no longer have the freedoms we used to: the freedom to play whatever maps you want, the freedom to enjoy gametypes, mods, etc the way you wanted to. They removed freedoms, and essentially told the consumers, "Hey, you don't need to have freedom, here, play the game the way WE want you to play. We don't care how you want to enjoy the game, we want to control it, just to protect the product itself." It's like buying toothpaste, and not being allowed to use it unless you're brushing your teeth. It's also like giving a child food for ten years, then cutting them off. You're removing an essential feature that is fundamentally required for a person, or in this case, a multiplayer PC game, to succeed or function.

 

It's only a forefront of issues to come, and this brings a debate of "How much freedom should the consumer have?", reaching back as far as even the Betamax case of 1984 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Corp._of_America_v._Universal_City_Studios,_Inc.), even before then. I don't feel like debating it at the moment though.

 

To deal with consoles, matchmaking works fine, as it's the best the systems can handle efficiently, and we all know how unstable those connections can be.

I'm actually arguing for PC/Console equality. You guys think it's unfair for you to have to pay for this one map pack and that it's unfair that you don't have dedicated servers for this one game but we've never had a free map pack or dedicated servers. Why should you all get these freedoms if we've never had them in the first place? Believe me when I say that we want a choice in our maps other than a simple veto and that we want to be able to play the way we want to but if we can't, what makes you all, the ones who aren't paying for online play, deserve the right to have all of this? The way I see it, we should be getting free expansions and dedicated servers like you all, or you have to pay for expansions and have matchmaking like us.

Naturally, yes, both sides should be made equal. Both sides should get the free expansions and dedicated servers, but there's technical problems with this mindset. And we payed for our online play in another form: Higher-priced hardware, but that's another topic entirely.

 

Although to add onto this, and explain the technical issues behind this somewhat, take TF2 for the consoles and compare them to the PC version as an example. The way things are now, they can't be completely equal. Consider TF2 on the PC; it's constantly updated as updates roll out, and the total size of the updates can reach sizes that some of the consoles cannot store without a larger storage unit. VALVe also wanted to send those updates to consoles, but for example, Microsoft won't allow the updates unless they can get some royalties for it. I'd continue this further, but I need sleep for now. And yes, they should be equal.

 

And as a final note, restricting materials on the disc and making you pay to unlock them with real money shouldn't be allowed; It's a cheap money grab, and we all know that wouldn't work on the PC games that would do this, since it'd be cracked within hours.

Look what I started :|.

 

Both should be equal, but as long as consoles have all the restrictions in place they will not be equal. I'd like to see consoles get dedicated servers, constant, fre updates and the like, but they won't because Microsoft want to milk you for the cash (they kinda need to though, because that's their reveneu from console gaming right there. The royalties anyway).

 

You think I don't know? I own a 360 and I play it frequently, and I reckon its appaling you have to pay for add-ons, map packs, etc. and that is exactly why everyone is boycotting it on PC. Of course there is a chance that people will buy them on PC, but if you actually play a game you'll realise that everyone has pretty much refused to purchase them (people have willingly changed their names to oppose and make clear their intentions. I won't post the colourful words used to describe the DLC but you can imagine I'm sure).

 

And why the hell would you want to DEGRADE PC game quality? Out of spite? hat would be ridiculous. There should be a push for equality on the PC gaming level, where you buy a game and that's all you need to get. Imagine how happy everyone would be, eh? But the way things are going now, we could see a push in the WRONG direction by gaming publishers.

 

C'mon, let's all be friends now :P.

PC and consoles will never be equal, consoles are aimed more at the casual gamers, whereas PC gaming is aimed more at hardcore gamers. The difference between taking away dedicated servers for us and you not having them is that we are getting something taken away from us, you never had it for it to be taken away. If you really want dedicated servers, buy a PC. The reason we don't have to pay for online play is because it doesn't cost the company who made it money to run servers, individual companies buy servers. They make money through methods such as slot reservations, VIP privileges, and donations. You also have to remember that M$ want royalties on everything sold through XBL Marketplace. Besides you get your console way cheaper than what we would get a PC. Finally I could go on about how it's way too expensive for us to buy games compared to you, but now I just chalk it down as a Nicest Beaches tax.

Sorry to interrupt the debate... Although I do game with PC, dedicated servers are nice, but it is also nice to get random lobbies sometime

 

Just got level 70. Should I prestige soon? Already finished all FAMAS challenges, except for headshots.

 

Also, yesterday started using the 5-7-11 killstreak reward, and managed to get 2 chopper gunners and 2 ac-130s. I prefer CG tbh.

You unlock another set of challenges when you prestige, and the challenges' progress stay throughout every prestige. I would suggest that you do prestige. The new challenges give you more experience for doing what you've already been doing and will be doing. Also, it's nice to use a different gun before you get your old one back, but that shouldn't be a problem since you said you've been using the famas. You can just use again right after you prestige.

I love the Veteran and Master challenges, got a total of 20K xp when I got 500 SPAS kills (10K for Marksman VII, 10K for Veteran I.)

 

For some reason multiplayer wants to update, 4GB. Single Player/Spec Ops also wants to update, 4GB. Just hope Steam is displaying this incorrectly.

people still call me a modded controller...i beat a guy 1v1 rust with my FAL and he called me a mod lolololololololol

Uber uber uber pissed off at steam, activision, infinity ward, whatever.

Rant #1

I preordered the stimulus pack on steam supposedly to save 10%. So I payed £10.79 (Should have been 11.99) for something which is now on sale for £10.99. Ok it's only a couple of quid but still... This is [cabbage].

Rant #2

After finally getting the stimulus pack, theres a bug which will not allow me to join any other game except for the stimulus package games. Also, [cabbage]. (Could be fixed by now, haven't checked)

Rant #3

After purchasing 5 new maps, I get a total of 2 playlists. Hardcore or Normal, I don't even get to pick what type of game I get to play. Finally, [cabbage].

 

It just seems like they (Activision/IW/whoever) keep trying to screw over pc gamers. I'm really not happy about this.

 

If this has already been posted in a similar post, Sorry.

It was the same for 360, but now I am getting pissed off with how often i'm getting these new maps and less terminal in ground war.

That's pretty much what happens with every new map pack in a CoD game. You have to wait a while before they integrate the new maps into the regular playlists (as it's PC, you may have a very, very long wait.)

Lulz i am level 35 and i got that

 

BTW why dont i get xp in 1v1

It's too easy for friends to get together and give each other experience and free headshots and whanot

I used *a lot* of guns, not just one. That's why.

 

Prestiged ASAP after getting 70. Double xp weekend FTW. Loving it.

 

Plan on going for 4 guns maxed. Intervention, FAMAS, Spas-12, and ump45/scar-h (silenced). Not sure which one yet.

Idk what shotgun to use because they are liek a fast 1 hit ko weapon and a famas 3 burst can kill a shotgun in a 1 shot timeframe

Try the SPAS-12.

Haven't played in SO long, can't wait to start owning again with my RPD/Spas. :twisted:

Anyone got tips for improving the chances of me getting headshots with the SPAS?

Just play naturally. Headshots will come. If that doesn't do it for you aim a little higher.
