Modern Warfare 2

[Jingo]

I know you are all debating the various pros/cons of the proposed server changes etc, but how will this be affecting the average casual 360 gamer?

I've only just started playing COD4 and although greatly enjoying it thus far, are finding that most people I play with seem to be level 55 and quite skilled, and then there's Om Jingo running around at level 5- accidentally grenading himself and trying to take on helicopters with his assault rifle!

I'm sure it was my doing that brought one down!!! I didn't see any rockets etc but I didn't get any points or rewards - what a rip! hehe

I can't help but feel this game has been turned into a massive cash cow with Activision hell bent on making as much money as humanly possible at the expense of all else, including the quality of the actual game in some cases.

FFS not another moaning git, the game is not even out yet and you are judging it.

It won't, 360 gamers never had dedicated servers in the first place.

Ah grand - didn't think so but thanks for clarifying

One thing I dislike about COD4 is that there seems to be no option to turn off other player's microphones and so I have to quit some games or endure the delights of an american nearly crying because of my 'noob play'.

You playing on a 360 jingo?

[Jingo]

Yes Just started and appear to be very good at dying

I find it so much more difficult aiming with a pad opposed to the keyboard/mouse on the PC - feels like I can empty half a clip and someone still avoids me before sending me to the graveyard

on the 360 I think it's Y from the team list and you can mute annoying players.

I saw the first TV advert tonight \o/

Not true. We have had in some games. Not that it makes that much of a difference in many.

I kinda figured we were talking solely about MW2 here as dedicated servers or not are entirely game dependent, regardless of platform.

We couldn't have been talking about MW2 as you said 360 gamers never had, which is past tense, so it sounded like you were saying in general, which is why I mentioned it.
