I know MW2 was not the holy grail but it was a title that we were looking forward to play.
No that its a complete and utter failure.

What is the next title we can look forward to that might be a good replacement for MW2 or COD4 in that matter for online FPS?

IS L4d 2 the only one?
 
I have seen some vid's of Bad company 2. I have not played battlefield before, but bad company 2 seems insane! I'm waiting for that.
 
Will we have to use intnl cap or will they have local servers.

I know the last Battlefield you had to log in Int then get routed to local.
 
Im waiting for BC2 its going to own so much.
Unlike MW2, BC2 has dedicated servers and is awesome.
 
Where did you get the idea that MW2 was an utter failure? It hasn't even been released yet lol. It's going to be awesome imo.

1. because its overpriced.
2. because it has no dedicated servers.
3. because playing on international servers is too laggy.

If you think paying R500 for a 5 hour long single player game is going to be awesome then you are welcome to it!
 
Ghost Recon 4 perhaps, since it's being developed by Red Storm entertainment and not Grinnnn :)
 
On another note, I see no-one playing Americas army 3 on the local servers :/
 
Meh the localites will find a solution for the dedicated server issue. Those facts don't stop it being an awesome game.
 
No-one's saying it won't be an awesome game....... it's just a fail game. :p I'm still taking the wait and see approach. If by some miracle there is a workaround to the whole dedicated servers thing and the support is good then I'll give it a bash.

My friend is still getting it, but then he paid R350 for it, so even if the multi player fails I'll be able to play the single player.

the only problem is that IF they do find a work around then i doubt its going to be 100% legal which means that i dont think SGS or Igame will host servers coz they'll get in trouble:(

The localites won't be able to help us at all, unless IW decide to patch the game with dedicated server support. Till that day arrives, the only thing we might be able to enjoy is the 6 hour SP campaign, plus 2 player CO-OP Spec Ops mode. :erm:

Dont get me wrong this may be an excellent SP.

But as mentioned before most people that Pre-ordered it was purely for the MP online. Now that , thats not going to happen in the near future we need to look for something that might work in SA.

Besides from a lot of chatter online people are getting bored with COD4.

I just want to get a opinion or two where to from here

IW said it is not imposible that they will bring in DS but for now its a big NO and Saix and Igame wont support illegal servers thus at this stage for MP it is a utter failure.

Not awesome enough for R500, and COD is about the multi player experience not about the single player.

As to the OP, BF BC2 is gona be fun, and will definitely have a big multi player community in SA.

But it's 6 hours of awesome gameplay for R500 :D

Then again judging by the downpour @ Somerset West going on at the moment your house probably just got washed away :erm:
