Modern Warfare 2. Release is in 3 weeks.

How can you console guys stand the fact that this game (and most console games) is rendered at 1024x600

How can you console guys stand the fact that this game (and most console games) is rendered at 1024x600

a) modern warfare was rendered at 1024 x 600 and it didn't create any problems
b) consoles will upscale to whatever you want it at
c) the large majority of people with PCs won't be able to run this game at it's highest settings either

[hemmy]

1. Yes, and that is pathetic.
2. Upscaling doesn't do sh*t
3. Um, that is not true.  Only a very very very very very very cheap computer - one with a bad cpu and integrated graphics are incapable of running it higher than the consoles.  My computer can play it (MW1, WAW) with ease @ 1920x1200, with AA and AF

and try again on 3.  i said only top of the line computers will run the game at it's highest settings.  didn't say anything about running it higher than consoles.  there's little doubt in my mind that you have a top of the line computer, but not everyone else does

Making fun of me for having a nice computer, real classy  

I have the money, have to spend it somewhere.  Hell, I only play games on it a few hours per month, I just like having a fast computer.

Nope, I got it right on #3.  The game just isn't that graphically demanding - assuming no aa/af

[pissclams]

you should know better than anyone (because this has to do with computers) that gamers don't play games at extreme settings.  hell, the console settings are probably higher than most experienced gamers are playing at.

and no one here is going to blame you for only playing a few hours per month, there really aren't any good pc games to spend your time with.

and it's not fair to say the game isn't graphically demanding and then discard anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering 

u digg?

I know, I used to play CS 1.6 and the original Call of Duty competitively in high school, and use very low settings, but the only people who do that are the very competitive players, which is a very small minority.

AA, and AF aren't part of the game engine

I used to be a die hard PC gamer. Still am. But to discredit console gaming is pretty laughable. Casual gaming with friends in effortless matchmaking is great entertainment.

Scientific fact that FPS games suck on consoles.

Sports games and racing games are fine, I do own a PS3.

here's another scientific fact, fps pc gaming is dead.

look, i've been playing FPS on pc's since before you knew what a headshot was.  i was/still am a virtual god in the CPMA community.  i've been to quakecon and worked for the CPL through CAL.  those days are over.  game producers/manufacturers gave up on the pc community a long time ago and focus now where the biggest customer base is, consoles.    you can deny it all you want but you're living in the past

PC gamers who hate console gaming are obviously not seeing this and suck with a controller. Besides, the genre that needs a keyboard and mouse and suck with a controller are strategy games. Shooters are just fine.

have fun with your auto-aim in console fps's, lollerz

[fatty fat fat]

true story: in the early 2000's, i played TFC like crazy.

no auto-aim, sorry, LOLz

team fortress was the fracking lick.   incred game.

How is Crysis still treating you?

Well, they are making one for the consoles with suck graphics, so sometime in the future you can play it and find out.

[hemmy]

What makes it worse is IW is doing this so they can charge PC users for downloadable content, just like gullible console users.  Also, console games always cost $10 more than PC games because of fees they have to pay to Sony/Microsoft, but there isn't one for PC games, which makes the $60 ridiculous.

[hemmy]

We got a call from Microsoft who said they want us to do Live Anywhere for CoD 4. They just left a message--we didn’t actually get the phone call. We talked about it, and really feel that we worked really hard on the Xbox 360 version, and there’s a lot of things that we do that we didn’t do for the PC because of the control you have with a mouse and keyboard which allows you to have a higher level of precision. When you are on the 360, you have auto-aim, and you have a movement compensator so when you’re getting close to the edge of the screen it moves really quickly, but when you’re in the middle of the screen it slows down so you can target. We don’t do that on the PC.

[pissclams]

figure it out.  there is no auto aim for cod 4 or MW2.  hilarious, you've talked all this crap and haven't even played the game, figures 

if IW gave two shi*ts about pc gamers they wouldn't have gotten rid of the dedicated servers.  now sit down and act like the step child that you've chosen to be.

[hemmy]

Who is arguing that IW cares about the PC gamers

[LoXodonte]

OH HEY, it's mr. Pissclams from RTCW

Well you've sure had an interesting decline in your gaming career! You reached your height of self accomplishment around 03, where you so skillfully puckered your lips to accommodate the all star h4x cast of team fx. I was impressed when you dropped the admin hat to fulfill your aspirations as a RTCW SOLDAT.... and what a statement you made  self vaping yourself in the lower bunker on shrub. And finally, you've been led to the cute little consoles, taking up the argument against PC gaming. Tbh, I'm surprised you're not advocating Wii Sports- all tendencies certainly point in that direction.

Cliff notes:

-The last PC game CLAMS played  was made in 01. Recommended GFX req. of a Geforce 2. Anything beyond that is clearly "high-end hardware". Consider that before listening to advice on hardware.  Mainstream pc gaming rig is a 3ghz core2/512mb gfx card imo.  I have a 3.66ghz and a 4890 1gig. My system could be built for $400-500, and runs every PC game I own max settings, Crysis High settings.

-Competitive PC gaming does indeed blow right now, was hopeful for Wolf, which I boycott, and now will boycott MW2 until they at least add dedicated servers

-PC Gaming is not dead, nor will it ever die. The only thing that has ever held it back is hardware and ignorance. PCs have already reached the heights of TV's, soon everyone will have one in each room of there house. And the more time that progresses, the more advance hardware will get. Before you know it, a game like MW2 will be like a web flash game you can play on your "old" pc. That resolves 50% of the problem...

-I own a 360 and Wii. They're fun for certain games, but I would never sell out FPS to console over PC - UNLESS consoles get dedicated boxes and better input devices.

-Clams is stuck in some sort of gaming purgatory. Somehow able to look down upon console gamers/gaming, while simultaneously endorsing them.

wtf.

[ew2x4]

Also, lol at arguing about price when it comes to gaming. PC gaming is far more expensive.

And I'm glad you picked up on the Crysis jab. And nice try at putting down a port of a crapty game. You're stuck bitching about a crapty port of a great game. Sucks for you.

Let me know how awesome Sims 3 is, since that's the only game out on PC this year. Maybe Diablo 3 will make it out before New Years? How will you share your time between 2 whole games???

Buddy of mine picked up MW2 Monster Energy drink at Wal-Mart in Olathe today. Inside the box he won a MW2 xbox live theme!!  WOOT WOOT!

The fact that you should ever have to pay for something like that proves the retardedness of console gaming.

I upgrade my PC regardless of games.  They are just an added benefit of having a good computer.

You don't have to pay for a theme. Nobody is forcing you to. Nobody needs them to play a game. It's incredibly stupid to buy them, but it's incredibly stupid to bitch about them as well.
