Dude, do you still fail to see the simple point in that a whole bunch of people(read:millions) don't care about the number of pixels, resolution, or any other technical jargon, so long as it looks good enough to them?
If you have a problem with how MW2 looks on consoles, (which is pointless, given that you're obviously a PC gamer, you shouldn't care at all how console games look or run), then you would have more of a problem with basically every other console game ever made, since almost all of them look and run much worse than COD4, never mind MW2.
I honestly can't understand why it is so hard to explain to some graphic whores that yes, good visuals are nice, but they are not the sole factor involved with playing games.

Steam has universally made PC gaming easier, I don't see how PC gaming was easier 10 years ago than it is today. Components were a lot more expensive and there was no unified system at all really until xfire, which was just a glorified friends tracker.
The level of precision with a mouse is objectively better than that of a controller. FPS games are just a showcase for this. You can argue for quite a few genres that controllers are superior, but not FPS games.

I thought this was a gaming enthusiast forum. You know, people who actually learn about video games and how they work?
Hey, you'll probably hear that on the battlefield in real life. It's not gonna be like on PC where everyone's quiet because they can't afford 100 dollar PC mics, they don't know how to set them up, or their voice is too high pitched to be recognized by modern microphone technology.Guled said:

Ooh, I'll bite. I want to play in this honeypot too.
I've been a PC gamer since the early 90s, playing fps multiplayer the whole way
I bought CoD4 on the 360 specifically because it uses a controller, not a mouse.
Analog sticks > mice
(ok not really, mice are more precise and I love my razer, but I got tired of 180 headshots in 'realistic' fps games a long time ago. quake/unreal style games, mouse+kb, but for cod/cs style games, I have way, way more fun on the consoles)

Seriously, this thread should only contain "oh well still will be a great game glad it's gonna run smooth" and "OMG PC GAMZ AR BETTA FINAL PROOOOF"
Nobody should be complaining.
Also, I would rather play CoD with a controller, even if it was on PC. Sorry, guys. Keyboard movement sucks.

It's a gaming discussion board.TheHeretic said:
There is nothing wrong with you disliking the native resolution of MW2, but you're going to get shit because it's kind of a pathetic thing to complain about considering it's still pretty much the best looking game coming out this year on the consoles.
This thread is funny as fuck. I'll go on a tangent and make it simple for console owner and decent PC owners. If you own a decent PC and a PS3 an X360 is near worthless because 90+ % of good exclusives go to PC anyway and in turn look better run better cost less etc.....If you want to own only one console and are just a gamer buy a X360. Simple as that unless you feel exclusives are somehow worth enough money to buy another console.

I never implied you thought it was all speed I just went after your TF2 weblinkz comment which is stupid. TF has always been arcadey and one can do the same with a sniper gun in UT or Halo for that matter along with other titles. The control method comment came after the TF2 bit not before.
There is no seem to be when it comes to implication I was flat out stating my position. I can understand if you're not comfortable with how you're playing but all I heard was whining excuses that moving to another server to avoid hackers or going to a place where admins do their jobs, getting pc friends, and using a control style you like cold be fixed not hard to add controller support in. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying you should be on pc but that any issue you listed could be fixed quite easily and really isn't indicative of how the experiences are for most users who like the platform.

Must suck for alot of you pixel counters 
what's the saying? Ignorance is bliss?
I bet 90% of the people buying this wont even know what 60fps means, let alone that its 600p or "none HD"
I cant even tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps and I sure as hell cant between 720p and 1080p but I guess my eyes are bust or something :lol aslong as its on par with CoD:MW most of the player base will be happy.
Also cant we all just get along PC and console lovers alike?!
I sit in the exact same spot for PC games (TF2, Sacred2, Civ 4) as I do Xbox/Ps3 replacing wireless pad for wireless keyboard and mouse, the off putting part of PC is the upgrading and the risk it wont work on your pc for whatever reason.The consoles are alot more hassle free in that regard.
Personally about the servers ive allways found it a royal pain in the ass having to search for a half decent server (TF2 for example). I don't want to spend 10mins dicking about in the menus and connecting only to find its a rubbish room where as Live you can jump right in a get on with it.
Oh and ignore all the little bum fluffs running around on live with party chat, thats a godsend \o/

No worries, misunderstandings are inevitable on forums. Text-only communication doesn't convey intention very well.
Also, it's worth noting that Team Fortress 2 in particular was the game where I felt most like I was "clicking enemies to death". Other PC games, like Battlefield 2, have recoil, gun sway, and several other things that generally make it feel more like you are aiming the sniper rifle at an enemy, and less aiming a mouse at them. If you get what I mean.
I've never been interested in the hardcore side of games, whether on PC or consoles. A friend of mine plays Halo 3 at some kind of competitive level, that's pretty much all I know about it.
My experience is strictly what you might call the "casual" side, playing for fun and not caring about statistics and the like.
Seiken said:
I agree. The problem is that people rarely get to play the same game at both 30 FPS and 60 FPS.
If people played COD4 at 60 FPS and then played it at 30 FPS, most of them would definitely notice it.
But if they play a different game, like Halo 3, that runs at 30 FPS, they might not notice the framerate, they might assume that it's just the different control scheme of the game, or the different "feel" of the game, if you know what I mean.
Personally I can tell the difference between 30 and 60 FPS, but I can't tell between 50 and 60.

Choosing a rubbish room is worse than being randomly designated one with no conceivable way of doing anything about it? These arguments are pure gold.

On TF2, I have played it on Live and every time I got into a game, it's like 12 or 16 players max (can't remember) and it's laggy. If I leave and try again, I usually get the same room again. Whatever matchmaking logic is coded in doesn't say "he left that room, maybe he doesn't wanna be put back in there." It just runs the same logic and gives me the same room.Johnlenham said:
On PC, 32 players and usually no lag, and I just choose another room.
Johnlenham said:
Why are you clicking around in menus to find a game in TF2 you can bring up the server browser in steam with a right click and find what you want like that it also has filter control and favorites. If you're spending 10 minutes to get in to popular pc fps game online it's not the title that's at fault.
Despite it all, it will be one of the best looking and playing multiplatform games out there. Is it going to compete with something like KZ2 or Uncharted 2. No. IW isnj't focusing on one machine, they have many compromises to make.
Of all the things to complain about though. I mean, I'm more concerned with the lack of support the first received despite it's immense success. Or the lack of weaponry. Or intrusive auto-aim. Or getting sniped by helmets again. Visuals is something you certainly shouldn't worry about. Those other issues are far more glaring and hopefully addressed.
The AC-130 making it's way into MP though, that was awesome.

TF2 on consoles was notorious for its lag. Probably one of the main reasons the console versions of TF2 are deserted today.
Plenty of console games, like Gears of War 2, have ridiculously bad match-making and will pair you up with players from opposite ends of the world for unplayably laggy games.
As long as the game has good netcode and a good match-making system, it should be fine on either PC or console.

Yeah if you played in high speed gaming example 60FPS or high end PC then switch on 30fps soon after. I can see some will complain.
It's hard to see how different because it is rare show having 2 screens with same game running different fps in real life, but I have found a good example 60fps vs 24fps by google.

This is the thread that's causing the 500 errors right now, right?
Over 850 posts around how many pixels MW2 will have. :lol
God, they're still at it. Thanks for letting us know which is best, Guled. Appreciate it. :lol
I feel like an idiot for even trying to discuss something rationally in this thread.

I'm horrible with text communication as some here will testify.
TF2 definitely will have that feel over a tactical shooter, but you can negate the lack of recoil if your team picks the right classes and does the right strategies depending on the levels especially in pubs. I know what you mean just TF2 isn't the only FPS game with a broke sniper rifle that has a centered rail shot, no sway, and no recoil.
I'm not too hardcore I just like organized play. Stats are meaningless in comp it's all about round wins at all cost. Those in to stats I find I just looking to stroke their e-ego.
Try to avoid comparitive arguments when pc types get involved it's a one way ticket to a discussion that won't stop. No you're not an idiot.
