A sick CoD4 Promod frag movie I stumbled upon.
Here is a short description:
“Beware of Sharks is a Team Movie featuring Sharks With Lasers pitted against various Malaysian and Asian CoD4 Promod teams. It includes frag clips from various local LAN events all the way up to the recent 2nd season of the online, community-run Asian Call of Duty 4 Championship (ACC2) in which 46 teams from all across the continent participated in.

Latest on MW2

BestBuy Dev chat with IW regarding MW2 was held a few days ago and BashandSlash covered it on their site. Here is what they gathered:

[quote=BashandSlash]Lowlights from the BestBuy Dev chat with IW regarding MW2:

* Dedicated server questions were greeted by being escorted out of the chat.
* Max players for all versions is 9v9. Yes, I said 9v9.
* No record feature in MW2 for PC.
* No lean in the PC version (Mackey-IW: The game is not balanced for lean.)
* PC Game is not yet finished*

*probably alludes to the fact that there will be future patches given reports that the PC SKU has already shipped.

My fave Q&A:

Laugh
Is there a console in the PC version of the game, so we can change our field of view from the xbox’s default 65 FOV to 80 also can we tweaks the weapon damage for each gun, removes perks, graphical debris, breathing sway, also thru console like we where able to before or is this all gone?

Vince-IW
We would like you to play the game the way we designed and balanced it.[/quote]

Rob Bowling, community manager (Gamer / Geek / Creative Strategist at Infinity Ward…as he says on his Twitter page) at Infinity Ward was kind enough to join our panel on BASH today. He let us in on the news that IW was taking Modern Warfare in a new direction. The online game on PC has changed. Dedicated servers are out. IW.net is in.

This is a game changer and many of you may not be too happy. I for one will be willing to listen and try it out. It’s all I can do.

For the folks in our community that mod and map, the future does not look as bright as the past.

Black Saturday?

A day of infamy?

Fourzerotwo was on our BASH webcast this morning and he had a few surprises for the PC community.

Here are the snippets:

*
We’re doing a lot on the backend to make the game accessible for everyone.
*
There is no delay for the PC version of MW2
*
There’s prestige mode
*
Jason West at the MP event, said that he was dead on, on the matchmaking servers. We’ve been building a system on the backend called IW.NET.
*
You are completely reliant on IW.NET. There are no server lists. There are no dedicated servers.
*
You have private matches where you can customize the game
*
You cannot put MW2 on a dedicated server.
*
This is the first time we’ve ever done something like this and the team has huge plans for what IW.NET develops into.
*
Customizing your game…you have quite a few options in a private match
*
You’re getting same game (as in Console), plus matchmaking and private match.
*
Server admin point-of view, NO DEDICATED SERVERS

I’ve summarized some of my own thoughts from the cast here:

General

* IW partnering through Steam is what you will see in the future. Matchmaking is not through Steam, but IW.NET is run in conjunction with Steam.
* GSP’s will no longer be renting out servers.
* No PunkBuster. VAC will be used as an anti cheat.
* Retail distribution: Pre-orders will get a disk. Or you could order from Steam.
* DLC may now need to be paid for – not confirmed.
* Piracy was only a small reason for going to IW.NET – not the whole reason.

Clans:

* No more clan servers. Private matches, replace clan servers.
* Listen servers will connect to each other.
* IW.NET/Steam will replace the community server admin

Competitive Gaming

* Competitive gaming has changed as we know it.
* It might be possible in the future for IW engineers to load a “competitive” setting on IW.NET, but it is far from a guarantee. It might also never happen.

Modding

* Modding the game is now very much in question. Fourzerotwo had no info on modding. However, it appears that there will be no community mods or maps for MW2.
* Modding in SpecOps? Unknown.

Today our game has changed for ever.

I’ll leave this post with Josh Peckler’s comments from planetmedalofhonor.com:

The server community is what’s made us. It’s what defined us.

IW.NET is getting the PC community to turn into consoles. You’re trying to re-write our history.[/quote]
