Oh wow... typical Activision.

"an 18 max player limit"...............
When will the police press rape charges on Activision for what they have done to the PC.

evrfighter5728d ago (Edited 5728d ago )

weren't cod4 slots $.68/slot? due to to it being a free market.

Nothing in the engine has changed here. It's just showing that Activision is getting a piece of the pie. This is rape on so many levels.

Gameservers aren't even that great of a GSP why pick them?

Then again I truly wasn't expecting cod4 freedom. I pretty much knew already it would follow the BC2 model.

bobcostus5728d ago

Considering all the maps are designed for 16-18 players, I fail to see how this is a problem. (this is from a PC gamer) Whenever I play TF2 or CS:S or any shooter on PC, I try to play with around 16 players unless the maps is huge. Otherwise it just feels like a giant mess. PC gamers are still going to get the best Black Ops experience from the sounds of it.

DeadlyFire5725d ago

Still a PC game should have 32 player option. Problem is that the game is built on Xbox 360 engine and ported to the PC. It can't handle more than 24 players without problems. Its just way they coded the game. Activision is solely to blame for this.

Longrod_Von_Hugendon5728d ago

So what will consoles have in this regard?

Letros5728d ago

Consoles have listen servers

tinybigman5728d ago

Wow who would have thought a publisher/developer would turn an fps into an MMO

r1sh125728d ago

I think that treyarch have taken this option because of the crazy number of hacks that IW had going on the MW2 servers.
This may be a way to isolate servers and find out how hackers are doing this..
Activision alienated gamers by not allowing dedicated servers, now they have dedicated servers but they have to pay.

Yup same thing but dice and ea never got any backlash.

4pocalyps35728d ago

All of their previous games have had an 18 player limit. The previous WaW game had a limit of 32. That is why they are getting backlash now.

divideby05728d ago

frigging joke... on top of a game that has MP which is summed up by..

camp, shoot, move, camp, shoot, move.

all you window and door peaker outers.....

typical Act.....

Apocwhen5728d ago

18 players max for a ranked server, 24 players max for an unranked server, for those that don't want to read the article.

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

YourMommySpoils461d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg462d ago (Edited 462d ago )

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg462d ago (Edited 462d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
