Another MW2 IW.net Fail – ISP Banning?

It just seems more and more problems have been deriving out of Infinity Ward's decision to neglect dedicated server support and their last minute plan P2P announcement with IW.net.

right, lets all believe a forum post criticising MW2, from a forum called Modern Warfail 2

IdleLeeSiuLung6016d ago

Furthermore, maybe the guy should complain about his ISP restricting his use instead of blaming it on IW.

SuperStrokey11236016d ago

nonsense, why would we blame the person who is actually cutting them off rather than someone else whos not really at fault. Its fairly obvious these guys are doing tonnes of downloading already and this is just the icing on the cake.

CyberCam6016d ago (Edited 6016d ago )

The MW2 cheating & bugs are getting ridiculous! Now this server/ISP thing... I don't know how true it is though.

I feel like the guy who missed his flight... but ended up living because the plane crashed!

I sure hope many gamers learn from this... and wait for games that don't have betas or demos.

Thank GOD I didn't buy that game... boy did I ever dodged a bullet there! I would have been pissed off beyond belief if I spent $80 CAD and had an unplayable/unfair (multiplayer) game!

Solidus187-SCMilk6016d ago

If PCs peer-to-peer cause problem for ISPs then why dont consoles. There alot more people using p2p on consoles then there are on PC.

edgeofblade6016d ago

Incredible how people are reacting. Players break the game, and all anyone can do is regurgitate apologetic rhetoric about how the players are expected to do these things. Then, people attack IW and Microsoft for protecting their game and services. Finally, people start DEFENDING the human wreckage that is obsessed with ruining the good time of honest players.

You can't possibly be serious. Did you take the most logical course of action and turn 180 degrees in the opposite direction JUST to be different?

If my ISP (Videotron in Quebec) dares to send me a warning about something as trivial as this, I will unleash such terrible vengeance, that generations yet unborn will cry out in anguish (yep, from KZ2), as I pay them over 150$ a month for my internet connection alone, despite having to go through their stupid bandwidth limits (190GB), slow speed (50mbps max, but usually get 1 or 2mbps) and unreliable service.

evilmonkey5016016d ago

I spend 45 usd a month for 5 MBps... 150 cd is a lot for 1mbps. do you live in the hills or by the north pole? lol...

STK0266016d ago

nope, I'm actually in my province's capital lol

Maddens Raiders6016d ago

you are getting raped in the middle of the street by your isp.

Basjohn6016d ago

Consider yourself lucky.

Here in South Africa? $100 a month for 384k during the day and 4mb ONLY AT NIGHT connection with a 10GB per week download limit.....and that's the best deal we've got! *runs away crying hysterically*

Ausr6016d ago

Wow, im paying a little less than 40$/month for 100Mbps down/10Mbps up without any down/upload limits. Damn 150$ a month.

STK0266016d ago

where do you live, you lucky bastard!

ah, I guess I should mention I'm only supposed to pay like 125-130$ a month, but I bust my bandwidth limit every single month, so I usually end up paying between 125-200$ a month. In other words, yeah, it's rather expensive, but I have my fair share of responsability aswell haha.

How much are these people playing if their ISP is cutting them off? Cause very little actual data is sent back and forth, it leads me to believe that they are fibbing maybe just a touch about what they are doing when they are not gaming... maybe just a touch.

STRAIGHTASL6016d ago

it's getting worst. MW2 is the number one in the history.

What a failure!

Taken from the website:
-------------------------
Not hosting
Up: 25 KB/s
Down: 2-5KB/s

Hosting
Up: 40-50 KB/s
Down: 30-50 KB/s

note these are in kiloBytes per second not bits. When i did the math, assumign i did it right someone may want to double check one hour of hosting will use up approx 200MBs of your upload bandwidth, about the same for your download. So... If you play 2-3 hours a day for a week thats already quite a few gigs"
-------------------------

Can somebody properly verify the upload and download claims?

Noctis Aftermath6016d ago

And they wonder why people say p2p is fail.

mrv3216016d ago

I want to question you figures... I can only host 6 players on Warhawk with a connection speed of 110 kbps and an upload of 900 kbps...

FantasyStar6016d ago

Can you post the direct-link to those figures? Or something more substantial. I'm having a problem re-creating your figures.

Orochi Avlis6016d ago

Those are not my figures. Notice the line of text underneath the title which says "Taken from the website". The article linked has a link to the original source. That's where I got it from.

I am in the complete dark about this. I don't own the game, so I cannot test it myself, which is why I asked for somebody to check it.
I want to know if those claims are valid as they say they are.

mrv3216016d ago

I went on warhawk my host limit is 6. I then tested my connection on my PS3 and got those figures.

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G1023d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood1023d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G1023d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade1023d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty1023d ago (Edited 1023d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality1023d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator1022d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G1022d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy851023d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai1023d ago (Edited 1023d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G1023d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo1023d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg1023d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast1022d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
