Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Platforms Poll

[flyman]

With all this talk about the pc version of MW2, i would just like to see how many are really affected by IW's decisions on the PC version.
A simple vote will suffice. thanks.

*** Changing poll question to: Which version of MW2 would you have picked up if those missing features were in the PC version? ***

Also, for the pc gamers ... will you still pick up a copy of MW2?

[kanechart]

Ps3

[shannn]

I was going to get the PC version.

But...then they kept announcing new things about it, and it kept getting lamer and lamer.

Not even going to bother with this game anymore (I think a couple of my friends are going to buy it, I'll probably just borrow it and beat the single player)

[win-star]

Xbox 360 FTW!!!

[MkmBandit]

PC Gamer, I will not be picking up MW2. :|

[Raimond]

Yes and why would you want a 18 player game on PC? you want 32min 64 is how it should be.

Really the pc feature was better MP mods and customizable stuff.

But since there is none of that console is better trophies or achievements and less hacking and better competitive play and more friends.

PC version was only good for deds and custom stuff and of course way more players.

[thechampion116]

I'm picking it up for PS3.

I don't have a 360 and I'm not going to upgrade my computer just to play MW2.

Also I don't have issues or complaints with dualshock in comparison to mouse and kb.

How would I get a serial without paying for it? I only play games for the MP.. Besides, I always support developers who give the community what they want, Ironclad for example. ;)

you get the serial by randomly typing in letters and numbers.. its a challage but you can do it.. beats paying 60$

yeah but BC2 will kick ass lol

[Firestorm]

Where's "None of the Above"? Have all three platforms listed. Might play using a friend's Steam account or use my free Rogers Plus rental to check out single player, but I refuse to use any money on this game. Other option is if I get it for <$40 used, play it, and then trade it in for $40 at EB.

[flyman]

if you're not picking up any version (as in 'none of the above') than why would it matter to the poll? It's mainly to sample how many in the RFD community are affected by this PC issue.

[Firestorm]

if you're not picking up any version than why would it matter to the poll? It's mainly to sample how many in the RFD are affected by this PC issue.Why would they be getting it on 360 or PS3 then? Unless they don't understand that neither of those versions ever had dedicated server support. All three versions are identical except the PC version will have better controls and graphics. The PC version also has other alternatives that will be far more popular this holiday season (Left 4 Dead 2, Borderlands).

yeah but then on consoles, users cant even make use of the dedicated server support anyhow ... right? All this argument on the web about this primarily affects only pc users, no?

I just want to see how many RFDers are PC gamers and would have purchased the game if all these pc features werent removed from the game.

[ephemera]

Last I read was there where 4000 online playing the ps3 version. They better reset the leaderboards at launch!

the problem is that Call-of-duty is originally a PC game and has played better on PC for all these years as well as getting a lot of its "innovations" from the PC community.

once IW starts shunning the PC gamers and the mod community dies out, console players won't get any more old IW-quality COD, they'll just get the equivalent of COD with updated guns list every year.

[Mgz]

I were gonna preorder from Dell for the PC one but IW decided to f-_- PC gamers up, so single player and then uninstall.

Killzone 2 has dedicated servers, though they are managed by the developer/sony directly. there are a few others I believe as well.

Warhawk on PS3, and the first SOCOM on the freakin' PS2 had dedicated servers. And like I said, if the PC Version's missing features make you want to not buy the game, there is no reason to get a 360 or PS3 version. They have the same missing features.

I think most people realize that there is no dedicated server support for most games on xbox360/PS3. The problem here lies in too many PC gamers thinking that dedicated servers is the ONLY way to play. I have played tons of pc games in the past with dedicated servers, and I must say COD4 at times runs much better in terms of lag. The dedicated servers is a problem if you live in Australia or Nigeria, but in Toronto (my location) your virtually fine playing with a host in most of North America.

About PC version having better controls/graphics. Its a matter of preference your opinion is the same as the rest of the pc gamers. I prefer using a mouse, but hate keyboards..

Other alternatives that will be far more popular this holiday season. I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but no.

these "missing features" are minor things that affect only a VERY small percentage of people anyways


the fact they removed host advantage is a bigger thing than anything that's been removed

Gaming would not be where it is if it wasn't for PC gamers, period. Ya think XBL would have come around if not for examples taken from the Unreal community about online multiplayer? 50/50.. not to mention some of the best VG Dev's started off as amateur PC gamers, fueling the community with mods/maps/un-official patches/etc.. An old school gamer buddy of mine started off creating mods for BF1942 before accepting an integral position at Relic. Last I heard he was a lead dev for either 2K games or SEGA, not sure which title he works on.. Point is, I have absolutely nothing against consoles or their fan-boys, but PC gamers are the backbone of of gaming in general. Its a damn shame..

[Bskll]

ummm, host advantage is there. whoever hosts the MW2 on pc gets the ping advantage. dedicated server helps to mitigate that problem.

[Lone_Prodigy]

Only have a PC, but I'm not spending $50-60 on a gimped version of MW2 with no resale value. Even though they'll eventually drop in price, I'm considering spending my money on Borderlands or L4D2.

What makes RFD so attractive for PS3 owners??

I chose PS3 as well, but I would have never guessed it would be 41-17 PS3 over X360... Based on console sales, there should be way more 360 votes..

Just an interesting point that in general RFD seems to be very pro-PS3. Weird.

it is weird cuz in reality the 360 version currently has like 3x as many preorders as PS3

[Dark-Danz]

I wouldn't say 3x as many orders. Stores I've gone and asked only average about 1.5X the amount of 360:PS3. Certain areas will yield higher and lower perorders per system, but that's natural since most people had the 360 before ps3 came out and will stick with their original system than parting with it and switching over to ps3.

RFD has a more mature community there would be I would think more PS3 users. That and I think a lot people here mod there 360 so they don't play online.

[Viper98]

[heat??]

ps3 because im tired of hearing little kids who havent gone through puberty on 360

[kanechart]

I'm not even gonna ask how that makes sense

Simple mature as in age. Who at 16 can buy a $600 PS3? No one at all. The 360 sold the most for the longest time. More younger people got the 360 and of course was the first system for a year.

Most people here are older in age had more money and found really good deals even.

In the end it does make sense to me.

Plus a crap load of active members in this section has modded 360's lol and prob use the ps3 for online gaming


And this guy summed it up for you

ps3 because im tired of hearing little kids who havent gone through puberty on 360

[Firestorm]

I believe the higher PS3 rate has to do with RFD's larger concentration of Asian users. I think Asians gravitate more towards the PlayStation brand than Xbox. There could probably be a study done it or something. I know the store I worked at did a lot more business with PlayStation 3.ps3 because im tired of hearing little kids who havent gone through puberty on 360I just played Uncharted 2 a bit last week and I gotta say, you're in for a rude awakening.

[scratchieepants]

Anyone know if you can change the controls on the PS3 version so you're not firing with the shoulder buttons?

I don't mind owning both versions, but it would be annoying having to play the same game with different "aim/firing" buttons.

I want to get both versions as half my friends have 360's, other half joined the console world due to the $299 PS3 slim juggernaut.

1.71m preorders on the 360 version
650k on PS3

I wouldn't say its inaccurate, but I seriously don't believe there is that much of a difference between the console preorders. I've gone and asked retailers how many copies that have preorders per system, and still giving me the same figures of 360 still being more, but not that much of a margin maybe 2-2.5x at max. By seeing our polls on this site and what you see people voting on there is an unknown figure why ps3 has more preorders here than the 360 version.

Yes, I am one of those who pre ordered a PS3 version and got it before street date. It was nice to see that I was one of the 1500 people online playing that game, not having to worry about being banned if I played online with a copied version on 360.

I've done my own research around the multiple stores in my area while looking for a store selling before street date, so I came across the information they give me of how many preorders they have per system. They were nice enough to give it to me without any hassle, it's not like is confidential is it? So it may contradict what you have posted since mine is only a small scale poll. But I stand by my results because I did the work to find it instead of googling it.

[scratchieepants]

Cool,

I might try that...

http://modernwarfare2.gameshark.com/ps3.htm

Madcatz's upcoming controller might be suitable as well, as long as you can actually remap the buttons like they claim.

I'm just asking Viper if he has a source other than a website notorious for having incorrect numbers.

For your example, you're going to have to remember that Canada and the US do not have the exact same demographics and your area will have different demographics from other parts of even Canada. Things are different!

[scratchieepants]

there's no rumble in the controller though

I'm almost ashamed to admit this, I shut off rumble when playing online. For some reason I find it a lot easier to play.

In SP I leave it on of course.

So if this Madcatz PS3 controller can allow button remapping, then that's good enough for me, I'll only be playing online only for the PS3 version :D

[rahzel]

source?
+1. Vgchartz is not a credible source.

Canada =/= US in terms of console preference it seems -- more Canadians seem to prefer the PS3 relative to Americans. Or maybe it's simply because the PS3's popularity has grown lately with the new Slim and price cut. Plus 360 owners seem to pre-order games more than PS3 owners.

Anyway, PS3 version for me.

By no means was my post negative to yours, it was merely agreeing to the same fact as you state. Besides, in almost every case that an anticipated game will be released you will get those people who preorder just to resell.

this is exactly the reason I stopped investing in pc gaming. Dragonage and Civilizations 4 although great games, just are well complete opposite of my tastes. The good pc games are now those big multiplayer games, rts, or rpgs. PC is evolving into this generation of mature games, and sadly besides Valve noone is making any good fps games for pcs.

Take that same IGN segment for 360 you got MW2 and halo:odst
take PS3: you got Uncharted 2 and Metal gear solid..

So what style/genre of games are you into? I'm sure I could find you a title exclusive to PC that's far better then anything else out there.. (Company of Heroes, Sins of a solar empire, Medieval II Total War, etc etc..). There's still hope for PC gamers although it's fading fast.. >:(

[MkmBandit]

oh like he just can't do it? I don't know I just find so many people trying go all anti console each time a game comes out now lol.

I gather he meant that whole keyboard/mouse vs controller issue.. I won't start that argument again but there is a decisive winner in that dept. ;)

You'll always find 'so many people' on either side of the fence, I wouldn't let it get to you.. don't forget console gamers are easily the majority out there.

[chernabog]

Without a doubt the PC version isn't even going to come close to either the PS3 or 360 versions when it comes to sales.

I'm not anti-console at all even though I don't own one. They're perfect for certain types of games (sports, racing, etc.) and the cost factor is huge. A top of line video card alone cost more that either console. What I don't understand is how folks can play FPS games on them. To me, a FPS game needs to be played with a mouse and keyboard. I've tried playing FPS games on a 360 and a PS3 and it just didn't feel right to me. That's just my opinion.

[kanechart]

Well PC has better games usually looks better.

But PC game sales have been dropping and dying where even Crysis has to come to console now lol...


Anyways it should be a new debate topic hehe. I love PC and PC is better.

- Friends
- DLC
- Exclusives

Are just some of the reasons I ended up cheering for PS3 then there is things like drivers and game bug issues that never get fixed and always has issues on PC.

PC is not what it use to be and is just getting worse and things are getting sloppy.

Ports sometimes are bad console to console but at least they don't cause things like major crashing or worse things.

I have 2x 4890's Q6600 OC to 3.4Ghz and 8 gigs of ram but yet I rather play with majority of friends.

Cant' really argue with you there! About a year ago I had to put gaming on hold because I moved to another country where the interwebz was sub-par, when I walked into EB Games a couple of months back I had to ASK where the PC games were. It used to be a whole wall of titles, now its the back-side of one of the racks. Heartbreaking..

yeah to make it worse some eb stores don't even carry pc games or just only take down pre orders and a few copies of that game and that's it.

The value goes down to fast for them to even afford it I guess.


Steam and D2D I guess is going be more of the future of gaming and online ordering.

Not a fan of D2D, many of those copies require 'special' patches and because of the history of PC gaming, special patches 'irk' me. Plus I enjoy looking over my shoulder and seeing several 3ft stacks of games.. I need my hard copies.. *shrugs

I believe the higher PS3 rate has to do with RFD's larger concentration of Asian users. I think Asians gravitate more towards the PlayStation brand than Xbox. There could probably be a study done it or something. I know the store I worked at did a lot more business with PlayStation 3.I just played Uncharted 2 a bit last week and I gotta say, you're in for a rude awakening.


LOL there's one factor your forgot and that is people on RFD are cheap as hell.

so you have more people on here

a) buying ps3s - so they can get a blu ray player as well as a console
b) buying a game for the ps3 over the xbox 360 so that they don't have to pay for live.

That is all. :D

[sixer]

Ps3!!!!

[Bskll]

the "comparison chart" that was released says there's no host advantage unlike MW1

see here from arstechnica:


kaRMa: Please give me a direct answer. On the PC version. Are all games hosted by players, and is there a five-second delay when host migration is in effect?

Vince-IW: yes.

Why is this a problem? Because Infinity Ward also revealed in the chat that the game will pick who hosts. You have no control over it. If the host leaves, there will be a five-second delay while the game picks the next best host. Players have no way of controlling who is hosting, and of course we know there will be no dedicated servers.

The host will of course have a ping advantage, which should be mitigated by the software "having a great tolerance for latency," and a five-second pause if the host rage-quits before the game restarts will ruin any flow the game enjoyed until that point.

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2009/11/pc-modern-warfare-2-its-much-worse-than-you-thought.ars


host advantage is in for MW2 PC, cause now whoever hosts the game has that advantage, while in MW1, the dedicated servers helped to mitigate that by putting everyone on at least 10-20 secs ping level.

[mariokarter]

yeah i would have thought more ppl are getting this for the 360, wierd.

[Fear]

360 cause Live is better then PSN

i own both systems btw

[kanechart]

of course and psn has a lot of work but little girls that you find out are boys don't make live better. Live sucks from the community the type of people and the company that backs it up. Saying that live still rules for online gaming. I wish PSN offer a Gold version lets say that just provides more enhancements or something.

Anyways I also owned a 360 and happy with my perm move to the PS3. In the end the PS3 wins.

I mean the PS3 would have the highest sales already if people did not rebuy a 360 with the insane fail rate and then the modding so people brick or ruin there 360 and then people who have a live box and a mod box.

In the end with all these factors I bet ps3 would have the most sold out of the 2 and ps3 is a year behind to start with.

1. Xbox Live has a much better set of community features than the PlayStation 3. I have both consoles and I've gone online to play with friends on both of them. The Party System in Xbox 360 makes it so much easier to coordinate games it's not even in the same league as the PS3.

2. PS3 would not have sold more than the 360 if it weren't for failure rate. Most are replaced for free under 3 years warranty and that doesn't count towards sales numbers. The 360 is not so close to the PS3 sales that this is a factor. The one year headstart is a legitimate start. Microsoft had their console ready. Sony didn't. Welcome to every console generation ever.

Man in the other thread you said ME2 sucked because it wasn't on PS3. I thought you were trying to make a joke and imitate one of the trolls (like olden days Setz / Jon Lai), but you were actually serious I think. Grow up :)

I just said how Live is better and here you go on a rant that I did not even bother reading. MS sucks anyone who tries to monopolize by paying 50mil to make content for their system should be taken to court and or shot.

Anyways will talk about this 2-3 years down the road.

[Firestorm]

Sorry, just skimmed it after the "live sucks communnity blablah". I've found both communities on both systems suck horribly so I stick to co-op games with my friends. I only play competitive games on my PC and stick to the same servers for them so I know I'm playing with decent human beings with a certain level of maturity.

Oh and with the costs of development where they are, I see no problem with paying for exclusivity or timed exclusivity. We wouldn't have had games like Tales of Vesperia without it.

[Dark-Danz]

They're both the same thing to me.
I pay money for PS3 games, I get free PSN service.
I pay money for XBLive service, I get free games by downloading them.

Both ways work and both systems have their strengths and weaknesses, let's not turn this thread into which system has a better online service. But if it matters, I think XBL has much more downloadable content available in North America than PSN. But if you sign into PSN using the Japanese network. Wow, you wouldn't believe on how much DLC is offered in Japan and not in North America. If you look at it from a network perspective, they are equally the same. It doesn't matter if you have Live and have a slow connection, it won't make your online experience any better. What gamers fail to notice is that most of the games they play online don't require servers to play. MW2 is a multiplatform game but it uses a host system where 1 player supports the entire game on their connection. Then you get games like borderlands, not exclusive to any system so there is no reason to make private servers only dedicated to the company that owns the system. But they run on gamespy which is totally pointless, when MW2 can support 16 players on a host while this game can't support 4?. You're lead to believe Live is the superior service but in the end it comes down to the fact that YOUR FRIENDS are on that same service. No one wants to play alone, so that's why people stick with their guns.

[RawR*]

I was going to buy it for PC but after hearing about all the missing features I have changed my mind. Can't wait to see how many people are going to just pirate the game to play the single player on PC. Maybe I will line up for a chance to win something and then return/sell the game if I have to buy it.

[Longobongo]

Surprised PS3 is leading, thought the 360 ver would be the console of choice. Only have a PS3 so I'm getting that one. May try out the Wii when it releases.

it's not coming to Wii

Modern Warfare Reflex(the wii game) is a port of the original(and a HIGHLY downgraded port at that)

I don't think it's the console of choice. I feel that the game has always been fair to both console and making console of choice the one most of ur friends have.

[scratchieepants]

Without a doubt the PC version isn't even going to come close to either the PS3 or 360 versions when it comes to sales.

I'm not anti-console at all even though I don't own one. They're perfect for certain types of games (sports, racing, etc.) and the cost factor is huge. A top of line video card alone cost more that either console. What I don't understand is how folks can play FPS games on them. To me, a FPS game needs to be played with a mouse and keyboard. I've tried playing FPS games on a 360 and a PS3 and it just didn't feel right to me. That's just my opinion.

I used to feel the same way.

No doubt that a $1000 or less PC will be able to run at faster frame rates, more detail, quicker load times etc + greater control with WASD+mouse. (if you match the current HD standard which is pretty hard for devs on both consoles, see 540P fail for Ghostbusters on PS3, sub 600P fail for the Activision music games on the PS3, 640P fail on a bunch of games on the 360 and PS3 etc).... $1000 or so budget on a PC attached to your HDTV running at 1280x720P will blow away any console version.

However that's just the technical side of things. In terms of "feel" I get what you mean, I've played FPS games on the PC for at least 10 years on decent - high end PC's, then gave up and got an Xbox 360 in 2006. Not big on Halo, but when COD 4 was released in 2007, something just clicked, maybe it's the pacing, maybe it's because it has the "perfect" set of controls on the 360 I don't know. But I've played more of COD4 on XBL than just about any PC FPS (and I go way back to Quake 2 Arena...)

I think the one thing that you really have to let go of coming from PC FPS to console FPS, is to focus less on twitch aiming, and more on tactics, movement, and flanking (not to say that PC gamers don't do that, but it's something that you can really hone on the console, since twitch aiming is much harder to do so).

Anyhow, give console FPS games a chance (at least a week), you just might like it!

:confused:

I bet two years ago everyone said MW1 wouldn't come to Wii, and look where we are now. IW's not going to make the effort, but Treyarch might make an MW2 port two years from now.

[tigerhawk33]

PS3 for me!

People still play console systems. My last console was turbo grahix 16. Keep it real.:D

Well said man.. seriously.. if I do purchase MW2 I might just give it a run on my PS3. Would make for a nice change, I suppose. Kudos.. :cheesygri

First 2 map packs are timed exclusive for Xbox 360.

People still upgrade their computer every few months to play the next great game? get real :D

[Ctwizzy]

just buy the xcm cross battle adapter 2.0 and you'll never need to use a PS3 controller again

Where did you pick it up and for how much?

I hear ir requires a WIRED 360 controller? Can you use the wireless with the play and charge cord instead?

[bigboi]

Ps3!!!

Not available yet, but here's a Canadian website from which to buy from:

I'm not too sure about the play and charge cord, that's definitely something to investigate. I've been hankering using the 360 controller on a PS3 for a whiiile.

wow $95 for the adapter, add a wired 360 controller and its ~$140 just to use a 360 controller on a ps3, not worth it imo
