Their whole "We would like you to play the game the way we designed and balanced it." is stupid IMO...it should be an OPTION to play how they want it; but customization is what makes good games. That's why I like Arma2 so much is because almost EVERYTHING is customizable; if you don't like something there's either an option or a mod that can change it to more suit your needs.
I just don't get how "locking down" the game benefits anyone

It's basically saying "Play the game how we want; and if you don't like it too f-ing bad and deal with it, because we still got your money anyways!"

Actually... now that I think about it... sure it sucks for you guys who want big servers with 20 vs 20... but one of my biggest complaints with MW1 was that the maps were to small and too many people... a infantry squad is the size of 9 now-a-days (was 12 when I was in)...

So, IMO, smaller teams make for a more slow and tactical experience...compared to the huge numbers causing run and gun play... so IMO, this 9 vs 9 limit might actually make the game better... FOR ME.


Still, options are always nice.

Doesn't look like they give a rats-ass about all this controversy:

From the sound of the article I doubt they'll change anything

Probably one of the more rational posts so far on this whole topic. While I love "big" mp games I hate the traditional "shooters" with run and gun gameplay. This may in fact be a good thing to some extent. However, I will stick to Arma 2 if I want a game that is more realistic and to me much more FUN.

I never played in games larger than 6v6 in the first Modern Warfare, the inlcuded maps are too small for anything larger. I can see having larger player counts on the PC though since you could play on community made maps.

COD has always been run an gun I dont see how this changes a thing, not to mention bunnyhoppers IW couldve done somethin about them a loooooooong time ago but chose to cater to the kiddies(now the console crowd)I honestly believe that when this all plays out youre gonna be payin to play online (monthly subscription)they are just leading up to that ever so slowly(no dedicated servers but we will rent you one)

less players... more room for tactics and maneuvering.

sure CoD is a designed run and gun game... but a server ran right can still make the game more tactical and teamwork minded.

all depends on WHO you play with.

I'm waiting until I see it in the bargain bin....

And those that want to play run and gun and not much tactics?

go play with someone else or elsewhere... see...easy.
