too bad we couldnt point dedi servers to another master like they did in cod4... Maybe a underground network of dedi servers behind their backs? activishion i think it was called? hehe u can connect to any l4d server thru console but it would be difficult to get all of the clan on the same page at the same time.<br>
i would imagine that u can download linux bins thru steam for a dedi server of yours that will be in the matchmaker group. I would also imagine that u can name your server any name u would like..<br>why dont u call it "GO BACK TO PLAYIN COD4"<br>
hopefully best buy is going to have a whole shelf full of MW2 that they are having a hard time selling.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Oct 20, 2009 at 1:29 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:stevetm001@blueyonder.co.uk">stevetm001@blueyonder.co.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I do love that film.... once of my fav's<br>
<br>
Anyway, my point....<br>
<br>
The large multiples, the distributors and sub distributors, and large<br>
retailers will have already commited to purchase X amount of copies... so<br>
Actismart will already be lining up for a very large influx of cash.....<br>
<br>
Probably left it this late in the day before anouncing the crippled PC<br>
version so they don't get that many companies canceling.<br>
<br>
So they don't care that you will cancel your order.... Its the companies<br>
who have committed to purchasing them that will loose out.... (suppose<br>
Actismart will loose out in the long run... as in... on the next<br>
release.... )<br>
<br>
The good news for us... if you can call it good news.... is that they<br>
won't sell half as many PC versions (just a guess) as they would have, and<br>
drop the price to shift the ones they have left sooner that they would<br>
otherwise.<br>
<br>
(Background about me) (just so you know where i'm coming from)<br>
<br>
I used to play and purchase I hasten to add C64 and Amiga games.... wasted<br>
countless £'s on crap games only to be played once.<br>
<br>
Haven't really played that many games on the PC until just about 2 years<br>
ago when a friend got me to buy COD4... and loved the multiplayer gaming<br>
experience... Never got past level 3 of the single player mode ... not<br>
interested ...<br>
<br>
I pre-ordered COD:WAW and played it 3 times before throwing to the back of<br>
my cupboard... Bought Left 4 Dead, its still in its wrapper never opened.<br>
<br>
I purchase a server from a company so I can play with my friends, I leave<br>
the server open so anyone can play with very few rules... no cheating, no<br>
bad language, and have had over 20,000 players according to gametracker...<br>
and my RCON has tracked over 13000 unique GUIDs... in 6 or 7 months.<br>
<br>
So... yes it pissed me off to say the least that it won't be multiplayer<br>
like COD4 <cry cry sob sob> but thats life... Get over it, stop<br>
complaining and put your efforts into something more productive :)<br>
<br>
I will be looking at the open source route... didn't really know their was<br>
one, never really looked... but I am a programmer who has come to love<br>
modding cod4.... (trying to mod cod4) if their were only more infomation<br>
to help beginners...<br>
<br>
So open souce here I come.<br>
<br>
Hope to see you their :)<br>
<br>
So long and thanks for all the fish ;)<br>
<br>
