Now those who are extremely hardcore into the PC versions of Call of Duty may find another slightly disappointing bit of news to do with Modern Warfare 2 ? players won't have access to the console for advanced settings and options.
and
Vince Zampella of Infinity Ward confirmed the news in a community chat when a player asked if it'd be possible to change the FOV, weapon damage, perks, graphical debris, breathing sway, etc.
Zampella simply replied, "We would like you to play the game the way we designed and balanced it."
Other interesting Q&A bits from Mackey McCandlish include:
Mackey-IW: Players do not control who hosts.
Mackey-IW: Only players capable of hosting will be host.
Mackey-IW: Games cap out at 9v9. The software has great latency
tolerance. See above!
Mackey-IW: I've been playing mainly with around 100ms ping and it was great.
this is pissing me off some more, they're really trying to persuade me not to buy their garbage.
Also, there is always a workaround and the end result will be :
1. Less people will buy the game because the dedicated servers will not be supported. This means less money in the pockets of the distributor and the developer.
2. A bunch of pissed off pc gamers that have been loyal to the franchise are treated as hackers and stealers when they would gladly buy the game.
3. Removing a unique pc feature will have the opposite effect on the consumers who will feel no remorse in copying and sharing the game since it virtually is the same thing as the console version.
