------------------------------------------------Q&A With 402------------------------------------------------
Originally this thread was about a certain statement by our community manager, Mr. Bowling also known as 402
and here is this statement below.
"You may notice a playlist update today on Modern Warfare 2 for Xbox 360 and PS3. This update adds preventative measures that restrict a recent "Chopper Gunner ammo for all weapons" hack from spreading into public matchmaking.
We'll continue to monitor and work to keep games as cheating free and fair as possible.
This specific hack isn't on PC, however banning cheaters via VAC on PC is a continual effort and focus of ours nonetheless."--402
Originally I was rather displeased with this and decided to make a thread about this and to my surprise 402
replied. At first i was shocked as well as many other member of the PC community for mw2. This is his reply.
"I haven't been given any information on if and if so, when, dedicated server support will be added. As of right now, I know the team is still working on listening to feedback and improving IWnet. Our PC player counts are high, in the millions (overall not concurrently), so there are a lot of people to go to for feedback on performance, including all the feedback we get here.
And before you ask, YES! We do read it, even the vulgarity laced rants. It's all taken into consideration and if the decision to add in Dedicated Server support in additional to public IWnet matchmaking is ever made, I'll let you know."--402
So i thought this out and came up with this clever idea those transform this thread into a way to have a massive amount of questions to have 402 answer for us.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------Q UESTIONS ANWSERED BY 402
-What does the future of PC gaming look like for IW?
I don't know. Nor do I know what it holds for any platform. Our current development focus is on continuing to support Modern Warfare 2 through patches, updates, as well as future DLC for the game. Beyond that, we currently have not announced what our future plans are.
-Can we except to EVER see servers or a different interface to online play?
At this point nothing has been announced to replace IWnet. More options -- in addition to the built in matchmaking system IWnet has -- theoretically can be added at a later date, but unless that is announced; IWnet is the main and only matchmaking solution.
-What is the status of DLC for PC?
DLC is being worked on now. What it includes or how it will be distributed is not yet determined.
-Simple question here. Care package "glitch" was it intended, you seemed to be leaning towards the fact that is sort of is but we would like a direct answer so we can finally mop the floors with this endless argument.?
It is not intentional and something I believe the team plans to address in a future update
-Can we expect to see a patch fix for being thrown into a game that's about to end? example: last round of SnD losing team. Its rather unfair we have to sit there and are forced to take a loss.
I'll pass along the feedback to the coders and see if there is logic that will allow matchmaking to determine and eliminate the ability to be match-made with games nearly completed.
-Can we hope to see any more Video related options? Some of us believe that the default FOV is a little too narrow. could this be considered in the next patch?((by NiHiLisT ))
That request is known and I'll let you know if it gets added to any known future update
-We payed the same price tag ((59.99 with tax for me it was 63.73)) for the PC version of mw2. The consoles allow multiple profile off of one game purchase, however we only get one. Also the console version gets leaderboards and we don't get one either. Can we expect to see some improvement in that area?
Each platform is unique in its restrictions and account set-up. For example, Xbox 360 on Xbox LIVE, you must have a separate Xbox Live subscription for each gamertag in order to play multiplayer with multiple accounts. PS3 is the least restricting, allowing you to create as many PSN ids as you want on their system. On PC, we rely on Steam for our online multiplayer, which requires you link your game with your Steam ID, limiting it to one account per user.
I'll pass along the feedback and desire for linking multiple Steam accounts per copy, but I am currently unaware of any plans to add this feature as of right now. I'll keep you posted.
-Is IWNet's integration related to DLC revenue for maps that could otherwise be put on dedicated servers for free.
Absolutely not. IWnet in no way has any relation to how DLC is distributed or obtained and as such is completely unrelated to any decision related to it.
-Why switch over to IW.net when dedicated servers worked so well and make it a more tolerable multiplayer experience? What is the MAIN reason you guys decided to use iw.net?
IWnet is a more user-friendly experience for players, something that may not be necessary for veteran players but helps make the game more accessible to a wider audience of PC players. It also allows us to more easily control the gameplay experience and update the game. For example, when we release patches, they're always released first on PC. Something we've done several times already.
-Not trying to poke a stick in the eye but do you guys realize your decision to use IW.net over servers has lost you a lot of sales which couldn't be salvaged from the amount made from DLC? Isn't that a bad marketing move?
This statement is inaccurate. It inaccurately assumes sales for the PC version of Modern Warfare 2 were weak, in addition to wrongfully assuming there is DLC pricing planned. On the contrary Sales figures for Modern Warfare 2 on PC have been tremendous and the number of online players has been staggering on IWnet. There are millions of players (overall not concurrently) who are enjoying multiplayer on the new IWnet system; in addition we plan to continue to improve and add to the system with updates and patches based on community feedback.
So while we will always be improving on the system, I disagree that the PC version of the game is doing poorly at all, let alone being negatively impacted by the decision to use IWnet opposed to Dedicated Servers.
-Can we expect to see mod tools?
Yes, at the moment, but until an official release date for them is confirmed I wouldn't get too excited. Mod tools have been something planned on the schedule for the PC version however no date on when they will be released has been given. At this time I believe the coders are working on them in conjunction with the DLC.
-Are maps from the previous modern warfare going to be available for mw2? And if so should these be free to an owner of a copy of cod4? ((honestly it would feel like i paid 60 dollars for a new patch no offense))
No DLC (free or not) has been decided, so there is no way of knowing this yet. Having old COD4 maps is a popular user suggestion and something that has been considered. I'll let you know if it's every decided to be included in any future update or DLC.
-The commando perk is WAY overpowered. Please fix it?
There are currently no plans to rebalance the Commando perk. Balancing discussions are never ending though so that could change at a whim.
-Why is it We only see rust in free-for-all?
Rust is a very small map, designed for gametypes that require less people. If you'd like to experience Rust on other gametypes you could host private matches using any map / gametype combination you like.
-how does it make you guys feel at IW that some of us hate the multiplayer and claim it as "unplayable". As opposed to Cod4 which never suffered from problems like these. Do you((IW)) Believe iw.net is here to stay for mw2?
Calling multiplayer "unplayable" is a completely incorrect statement as player data shows that Modern Warfare 2 - Multiplayer is currently the #1 most played Steam game at the moment of this posting with 51,631 current players and a total peak of 116,551 for the day, with millions of players overall for IWnet. That said, it's probably just an exaggerated statement of an actual issue this player may be facing, and that is when we have to filter out the exaggeration and get to the source of the real issue so that our team can be sure to address it as soon as possible. For example the other day we had a user (forum name apensity) from Turkey who was claiming to have connection issues, we investigated the issue and found a way to improve his connection. Since then he has reported zero problems with playing online. It goes to show, if you have an issue, post as much constructive information as you can and the team will do their best to fix it in a timely manner. IWnet isn't going anywhere, as I said in a previous answer, it may be added upon, but not replaced.
-Have you considered using matchmaking and a combination of dedicated servers like l4d did? Or perhaps some sort of lobby system that connect to a few massive servers ((Example: AvA, combat arms))
It's a possibility but not a change that has been decided upon at all. At this time we're focused on continuing to use IWnet and continue to improve on it based on user feedback.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -QUESTIONS NOT YET ANWSERED
-When getting in queue for a gametype and instead of being forced can we get a quick timer before we accept to join this game? Example. "Joining domination on rundown in 5... 4..." and you would have the option to skip this game or quit before you're stuck on the loading screen and forced to take another loss.
-When the game is about to start IW.net should let you know who is the host and what is their average connection. Like add a little symbol next to their name and in game make their connection bars blue.
-PLEASE PLEASE PlEASE can you set an option to show actual ping instead of bars. No offense but i think we're more advanced than cellphones here.
-LEAN, Can we have this function back? yes or no? If no then why?
-The AK47 has a lot of sway except for the ACOQ attachment. Its got a nasty and not-so-decent RoF. Is this intentional?
-"Why is the Reddot sight for the FAL of centre?
And Holographic sight on some weapon affects kick/accuracy, why arent these changes documented? The m16 with holographic has less bulletspread from one burst than an m16 with a red dot.
See: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DSvlq_sEf0">http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=9DSvlq_sEf0</a><!-- m -->"
-Steam is a massive gaming program, but not all of us JUST play mw2.Some of us go b different handles playing different games? Can we get an IN-GAME function to set a gametag?
-Are there plans to tune IWnet in such a way that it emulates the connectivity and functionality (i.e. ping limit selection and map selection) of previous Call of Duty titles?
-What are the devs planning to implement outside of user requested features and content?
-IW.net has caused a lot of trouble with certain people and their ISP. Including services shut down and major bills left to pay because of overused bandwith. Have you guys found a way to deal with this?
-Earlier I asked you why IW.net over Dedicated servers and to sum up your answer you said that it was more casual gamer friendly. Well some games with Dedicated servers have a quick-join feature similar to iw.net except the whole host part. Could a feature like this work for mw2?
-Can we PLEASE have the console back? Some of us like to tweak our games to make them more beautiful. And if you guys were to give us the console you could send us a readme.txt file with what we are allowed to do and what WE ARENT supposed to do i.e Get banned form IW.net.
-So if we are indeed getting mod tools, How can we use them in multiplayer?
-How hard would it be to code in dedicated servers for Mw2?
-Can we have Leaderboards? Please?
-Personal question of some sort I suppose,402 Have you played mw2 on PC yourself? And I mean Actually playing. An actual 1 to 2 hour session.
-What is the formula for respawn time in hardcore team deathmatch? Sometimes the counter reaches zero...And i dont respawn and it starts back at 15.
-When playing hardcore deathmatch sometimes i will randomly die.. I look at the kill feed and nothing.
-there is a mirror in the barber shop in favela. If you knife it you die instantly. Why?
-Currently, rewards such as experience, emblems, and titles are given out for sucess in FFA, Team Deathmatch, etc. etc. What about Capture the Flag? Can we expect new missions resulting in titles such as "Mach Man" for most flag captures or "Flag Assasin" for killing the most users holding the flag? Possibly titles such as "Flag Attack" for certain amount of kills whilst holding the flag? Something to encourage this gameplay would be very nice.
-Could some of the current title's please have more unique and fitting artwork? For instance: Grim Reaper. Grim Reaper's icon is a Chinese Dragon. I understand that "Dragon" and "Mastodon" fits the art very well, but a tertiary icon called "Grim Reaper" also being a chinese dragon? The Grim Reaper is a fictional character by himself, I don't think it would take longer than an hour or two to make him a decent, unique, title. Here are other titles that share artwork that can easily be replaced: "Lone Wolf" "Angel of Death" "Godhand" "Broken Arrow" "MVP Assasin" "Big Brother" "Cobra Strike" "OG" "Blood Money" "The Watchman" "The Inciser" "The Excalibur" "Epic" "Mad Man" "Army of 1" "Cold Steel" "The Domino Effect" "Droppin' Crates" "Crackin' Skulls" "Dark Bringer" "Chick Magnet" "Heart Breaker" "Pineapple Express" "Phoenix Rising" "Not in the face!" "Bling Bling" "Clay Pigeon"
-Can we PLEASE get more mods for this forum? We need interactions. Look at forum.toribash.com. When you sign onto their website there are at least 10 mods or admins skimming through each subsection of that incredibly large forum for good reason. This way, rather than waiting on 1 person from IW answering the questions in this very helpful thread; which takes a bit long *yet understandable with your small numbers*, you could have a few guys answering questions every other hour or so.
-Why did IW remove the ability to use SLi and Crossfire configurations it was in CoD2,CoD4 and CoD WaW but was removed all of a sudden.
-When can we expect to see multiple profiles available?
-please add auto team balance feature? And a Change team feature?
-Why cant we vote/kick?
-Currently, it's hard for me and my friend to play Spec Ops together due to lag issues with the hosting. It has less to do with internet connection as it does with processing power (iw4sp.exe taking up 80-100% of my processing speed... which is bad). Other than the obvious solution of upgrading my PC which already passes the games recommended requirements, is there any solution to this, like having both player's bandwidth contribute to lessen the load on each single PC?
-Why is there no filter option? Sometime it's very disturbing to be connected to a server were a map is running you don't like. So you have to disconnect and take loss for that. Someone could save a lot of time with a filter. Hope there is a possibility for realizing that.
-why take a loss when we decide to leave a game? Some games have hackers and we have no choice but to leave... or when the host has such bad connection we jump all over the map. ((unplayable)) Or when we simply get disconnected.
-Is there a way to reset your stats? Rank, K/D and everything?
-People are getting banned for being forced into hacked games by your IW.net system. A lot fo these people have many games on their steam account and would be outraged to lose all of that. Are you guys doing anything about this?
- When will IWnet be able to stop those hacked servers which are getting legit people banned?
- When will 402/IW be answering the rest of the posts on the forum. Could we sort of know on what days you will be posting so we have a general idea of knowing when you will posr.?
-Many people like to record themselves playing. Currently, the only way to record ones gameplay in MW2 on the PC, is with software like FRAPS. Can we expect an recording function in MW2 like the one you could use in CoD4, even though MW2 dosen't have a console?
-----------------------------------TO COMMUNITY
-If you want a question answered. PM me your question and why. I read every PM i get EVERY SINGLE ONE.
-If you don't see your question up here. Please don't be mad. I try to stick more to the questions about crucial matters and certain issues. I might add your question later.
-If 402 doesn't answer, I can't do anything about that. I cannot cast mystic spells or get a 3 kill streak to call upon 402.
-If you don't like me speaking on your behalf, I understand but this is best way I/we have found to communicate with 402. Everyone has an opinion and i am not trying to speak for you against your will.
-If you want credit for the question you asked LET ME KNOW and i will add your name under the question asked.
---------------------------------------------------------TO 402
-If there is a question you find offensive, please let me know before you take it down or kindly ask me to take it down and I will. I am past calling people name and trying to cause trouble or let alone insult someone, We just want answers.
-I appreciate the fact that we have found a better way to communicate 402. It brings me pleasure to read your every answer. Please don't stop posting.
-Can you send me a copy of your post via PM when you answer questions? That would make my life a little easier.
-Personally i have nothing against IW or you. I did at first but i am past that now and I as well as the rest of the community will try to be more constructive on the way we resolve some of the issues with this care I care so much about.

Guys keep the questions and discussions. This thread would be nothing without you.
With kind regards,
Hc
Originally this thread was about a certain statement by our community manager, Mr. Bowling also known as 402
and here is this statement below.
"You may notice a playlist update today on Modern Warfare 2 for Xbox 360 and PS3. This update adds preventative measures that restrict a recent "Chopper Gunner ammo for all weapons" hack from spreading into public matchmaking.
We'll continue to monitor and work to keep games as cheating free and fair as possible.
This specific hack isn't on PC, however banning cheaters via VAC on PC is a continual effort and focus of ours nonetheless."--402

-Is there a way to reset your stats? Rank, K/D and everything?
-People are getting banned for being forced into hacked games by your IW.net system. A lot fo these people have many games on their steam account and would be outraged to lose all of that. Are you guys doing anything about this?
- When will IWnet be able to stop those hacked servers which are getting legit people banned?
- When will 402/IW be answering the rest of the posts on the forum. Could we sort of know on what days you will be posting so we have a general idea of knowing when you will posr.?
-Many people like to record themselves playing. Currently, the only way to record ones gameplay in MW2 on the PC, is with software like FRAPS. Can we expect an recording function in MW2 like the one you could use in CoD4, even though MW2 dosen't have a console?
-----------------------------------TO COMMUNITY
-If you want a question answered. PM me your question and why. I read every PM i get EVERY SINGLE ONE.
-If you don't see your question up here. Please don't be mad. I try to stick more to the questions about crucial matters and certain issues. I might add your question later.
-If 402 doesn't answer, I can't do anything about that. I cannot cast mystic spells or get a 3 kill streak to call upon 402.
-If you don't like me speaking on your behalf, I understand but this is best way I/we have found to communicate with 402. Everyone has an opinion and i am not trying to speak for you against your will.
-If you want credit for the question you asked LET ME KNOW and i will add your name under the question asked.

-If there is a question you find offensive, please let me know before you take it down or kindly ask me to take it down and I will. I am past calling people name and trying to cause trouble or let alone insult someone, We just want answers.
-I appreciate the fact that we have found a better way to communicate 402. It brings me pleasure to read your every answer. Please don't stop posting.
-Can you send me a copy of your post via PM when you answer questions? That would make my life a little easier.
-Personally i have nothing against IW or you. I did at first but i am past that now and I as well as the rest of the community will try to be more constructive on the way we resolve some of the issues with this care I care so much about.
