Nowadays, Id rather play through an awesome 6 hour game twice than a good 12 hour game once. I've recently gone back and played some older FPSes over the summer (COD1/2, Quake 4, etc), and while they were much longer, they were also much more drawn out, simpler and diluted experiences.

I am so buying this for the PC. I bought COD4 for the 360 and still having a tough time using the thumbs to aim.

I'm sure all twelve of the PC fans will be pissed, but the show must go on.

Actually there's a ton of PC fans (probably not alot here on the console section). But if they had to pick one to delay for any reason it's be PC, delay PS3 or Xbox 360 and they'd be accused of favoritism or whatever.

Will be picking this up day 1 ... looks even better than the first.

Um.. there are several thousand playing on the PC right now. On a Tuesday, at 11:34 am. Good try though.

Several thousand playing MW2...a month before it's release? And even if that's so how does that prevent them from bumping the release date back?

 

[Ackmed]

No, not of MW2, MW. He was trying to act like there isnt a following on the PC for the MW series, which is false.

I can wait an extra two weeks, no big deal to me. Not for being able to pick my server, my map I want to play on, and likely free DLC. Not to mention controls.

It was a tongue-in-cheek comment, but since you brought it up: if one had to be delayed, the PC is the obvious candidate.

Why not the 360, you ask? Far smaller audience.

Why not the PS3, you ask? A very educated guess indicates much more common code between the 360 and PS3 versus the 360 and the PC. Granted the 360 is just a specialized PC, but the PC version requires so much scalability that the PS3 and 360 don't.

Therefore the PC is the odd man out.

Caught one! :laugh:

But FWIW, when you posted that there were 45k on the 360 (yes, I was playing at the time). Good try though.

Actually, from what I read coding for a 360 is very similar to a PC, I'd think that the two are probably more similar than the PS3 and 360 versions are.

I'm pretty sure they aren't working on the scalability in the 2 weeks between releases man. Maybe they found something wrong int he PC version and decided to push it back two weeks to be safe, but my personal guess is that if you asked them they'd give you some BS reason like piracy.

:roll:

Who said scalability is what they're working on *right now*? I personally have on idea what they're working on right now. But you can bet the hair on your ass that whatever it is that they ARE working on, it would have been done sooner if the scalability obstacles common to PC development didn't exist. Addressing those obstacles saps time and introduces diversions that do not exist when developing for a homogeneous configuration.

Um, I proved you wrong. So good job on that. There is roughly 23k players right now for the PC. Sure its less than the console, never said it wasnt. The fact is that there are a lot of PC gamers too, despite your obvious ignorance. You're just a useless troll, not worth anymore of my time.

My bet is they just want to give the consoles a two week head start. Pretty lame, but whatever. I can wait.

Pfft, what do you know jbourne, you won't even game with anymore as you're so skeert I'll injure you!

 

[Ackmed]

For those wanting a good MW2 desktop, here is a high res version. Along with 9 other nice desktops of other games; http://www.digitalbattle.com/2...ers-of-upcoming-games/

Even though the MW2 doesnt have a peq-15 or a sling on this A4. And he has the wrong cammies on, and the likelihood of him having a M9 is next to nill with a A4.. Im just nitpicking now.

Proved me wrong? Are you serious? Exactly what did you prove wrong, and how? Do you *REALLY* think I was insinuating that there are only 12 people out there interested in the PC game? Please... tell me you're smarter than that .

Do you get your panties in a bunch like this anytime someone takes a tic jab at consoles/pcs/insertyourfanboytopichere?

Give it a rest, this is a MW2 thread, not a "prove who's wrong" thread.

We were talking about the delay and possible reasons behind it. It got heated, and perhaps you might not like that particular topic, but it's still related to MW2.

Yes he does. Kinda sad really, posting in every 360 thread about how amazing the PS3/PC is. Whats the point? Go play those fucking systems instead of trolling every damn console thread jesus.

my Xbox Live tag is: t12beast

Nov 10th is my birthday so I'll be playing nonstop the 10th and 11th.

If you cared to read, he is the one who trolled. My "panties" are hardly in a bunch. He trolled, and I called him on it. Its as simple as that. This is not a 360 thread. And I was hardly the first person to mention the PC version. Its in the title. So you've failed as well. *sigh* Done with you too.
