who wants to play an FPS on a console? uhm, look at the success of COD 4, killzone 2 Gears of war etc etc. which are all on consoles. i think u got your answer. we CAN play online with our consoles lag free dude. just play with local ppl. PC concerns are not console concerns lol. Consoles ftw! :P

I play FPS on both my console and PC and without a doubt it is better on a PC especially when it comes to MP.
 
plus 2 player CO-OP Spec Ops mode.

Can one at least play this over a LAN, or do you have to connect to a server in Toronto, or somewhere, just to play your friend sitting in the same room?

It would not surprise me.

If the lobby is full of only south africans where else could it be hosted :rolleyes: You see you start an empty lobby, send invites to friends, they join, TADAA!

Other games seem to be heading the way of no dedicated hosting too:

Umm Mike_De_Lange how is even a 4MB line supposed to be able to support a 9 v 9 player match without getting such crappy latency?

Ive played better but Killzone 2 was good! but my point wasnt whether the games were good or not. I was merely answering the question which someone posed which was "who would want to play an FPS on a console". I was referring to the success rate of FPS's on consoles

+1 so theres the mouse thing sorted as well:)
 
Thanks guys, I did watch some U-tube footage and the game did not really struck a cord with me, now this comments just convinced me to just wait for MAG. I will not be getting MW2!
 
So what titles are we looking at from now to the next year that might be as competitive as COD 4? and have dedicated servers
 
Crysis 2 round about March next year and it will be available for Xbox and PS3 as well.
 
What if I decide to play online with my 56k modem(not that I have one) and the game makes me a host? How will it handle 18 other connections, including me playing? :P

It wont handle. Even on a 4mb line with 18 users you are screwed. the upload is not good enough.
 
uuh p2p in this country? are you F&*ken crazy?
Pure and simple, if there are no dedicated servers in this country hosting games, saffers wont be able to experience MW2 as it should be experienced.
All those guys thinking that p2p will be the answer will be sorely mistaken. We have one problem and thats our upload speeds. We do not have a broadband infrastructure which can cater for p2p hosting. Its just not feasible. IW have this notion that all the world is a first world nation with incredible broadband speeds. Its clear they are only interested in the folks who do.

Bottom line, this game is a SP game for us, not an MP game. If u want to pay the rediculous amount for the SP portion of this game then go for it. You only stand to support the idiots who made the decisions about multiplayer compatibility.

Boycot the title, they dont care about PC gamers, we shouldnt care about them. Its that attitude of "We control the community" that pisses me off about developers.
Bring on the piracy, make IW regret their choices.

Hopefully they will take a step back, add ded support and release a patch.

Other than that, Dice is still king, and Bad Company 2 will take the cake in this country.
