Blops is way better multiplayer wise then MW2 on PC, mostly cause there's no hackers yet, ded servers, and none of that exploitable crap (knife spam, nade spam, deathstreaks, etc...)
Although Blops sold better initally, MW2 will have better long-term sales simply because of the Modern Warfare/Infinity Ward name. In other words, this game isn't big enough to merit its own podcast. Also, although I disagree with Jeff, he mentioned many times that in his opinion, MW2>Blops in every way. So yeah...no bombcast for it, even though I enjoy blops a lot more (on PC).
So like any good college student, I've left my 2000 word project till the last weekend...:(. However, I have come to you, Giantbomb forums, for a bit of assistance.
I'm doing a project on male sex offenders, and was wondering about some good suggestions of where to go with this project. This is a [b]Canadian Corrections[/b] course so I need to have a correctional perspective with it (such as criminological factors, recidivism, etc). The project will need 8-10 sources in APA (I can use word to format APA reliably, right?), so if any of you know some good places to start source-searching (journal article sources are valuable, I need 2 of those), I would appreciate it. Also, some suggestions on things to put in the essay would be handy as well. Thanks guys (i suck with my procrastination, was playing Black Ops when I shoulda been working on it :().
" assuming they are full? thats when you kick someone...your the admin :P jeff=host advantage since hes like 5 feet from the server.... "
No, they don't let you run your own server. You have to rent it from their exclusive provider. So we spread them across the world. One's in San Jose, one's in Chicago, one's in Amsterdam. "
Score another point for Counter-Strike... "
So that's.. Black Ops 7,000,000 - Counter-Strike 1 "
Not quite. The second most payed game on steam is 10 years old. Combined, Source and 1.6 beat out Black Ops. Obviously this doesn't include the console versions of the game, so these numbers are skewed. EDIT: also, there is the MW2 multiplayer to account for, which puts them at about the same level on the PC. Still... 10 year old game. People will still be playing the same amount of CS in a year, MW and BO will fall. "
Just wait until valve busts this shit open with CS 2.0. I don't anyone will be able to handle it's awesomeness. That and I have so much faith that it in no way will be a COD clone.....I mean it's Valve right? They don't do that sort of thing right?
....right? In conclusion yes, people will be playing Counterstrike until the internet collapses in on itself. "
It's funny, but like with CS:S, a bunch of people will reject CS2 no matter how good it is, just like how 70000 people are still playing 1.6 at any time. Just ridonkulous.
" I don't get it - why not allow us to direct connect to a server...All this basic functionality is what makes Dedicated Servers awesome, now it's just a smart way to drag monthly fees out of us! "
I don't think Activision is making profit off of renting services that don't belong to them. Maybe a small fee in some kind of agreement with the server provider, but not all of it. To me it seems more like some kind of countermeasure against piracy. "
Basically I just didn't click anything and let it refresh, and after it found 1400ish servers I looked through the list and found their Chicago server! There's 8 of us atm, join us yall!
" I don't mind that ads, in fact I like them. side note; does anyone in the know pay full price for xbl gold? "
I haven't had gold for 5 months, waiting for the right dashboard promotion...none yet. Hell, since the update, there's no Xbox gold promotions at all :(.
Also, I don't mind the ads, they sometimes alert me to new games.
