2K: BioShock 2 won’t have LAN or dedicated servers

wont matter, as it wont have a multiplayer following

12 days to go!!!

Who cares. No-one buys games on PC now anyway – piracy is the reason why none of this stuff is supported in the first place. It’s not worth the extensive investment.

I buy things on PC you scoundrel

It is a little sad that they don’t offer things that are built into the fucking engines they are using but for some games, like BS I guess, it’s probably not worth it. MW2 not having servers was and still is the dumbest thing ever.

“MW2 not having servers was and still is the dumbest thing ever.”

For who? It was proven that a large % of ppl that petitioned to boycott MW2 ended up buying it day one anyway, so it really didn’t make much difference to IW – they’ve just implemented a method that will cut down on (not erradicate) piracy.

For me. For everyone who went and bought it like a bunch of pussies and then gave up when it got hacked to bits making the game a right chore to play. Even the console versions are riddled with bullshit.

LOL Don’t help against piracy on PC
PC ports sucks anyway

Can’t say I’ve seen any issues with the console versions, but I’ve not played it on PC.

I wonder how quickly the PC gaming market would go downhill if the 360 allowed M&K support for FPSs? It already has the option of dedicated servers (see L4D2).

Oh, and @loki – erm… should I ask where your proof comes from?

lol bioshock
Shellshock 2 has better controlls, multiplayer will be a torture >_>

hmm you really think so…after watching the newest multiplayer footage i must say it looks pretty good…finally something different than your regular mp shootouts…i like the idea of using plasmids online. they made some good decissions like 2 plasmids and 2 guns only, experience points etc…i do believe that there is a good chance that the mp will be a lot of fun…i don´t think that the bioshock controlls in the first game sucked at all…it´s more slow paced sure…but that must not be a bad thing…

Can’t really blame them for not having dedicated servers since MP is not the main focus of the game. I CAN blame them for limiting activations and adding excessive nonsense that encourages people to just pirate this game though.

“Who cares. No-one buys games on PC now anyway”

World of Warcraft and The Sims would like to talk to you.

i also buy many pc titles.

anyway, about mw2. even if i have signed the petition and bought the game that doesn’t mean i’m entirely happy with it. iwnet is a broken system with not just technical errors. i can’t even recall how many times i ended up with fucking low lvl retards in my team even though i’m 4th prestige.. the system is supposed to match high lvl with other high lvl players and low lvl with other low lvl players. i miss being able to play on hardcore only servers. the amount of pussies that play online today is staggering, even though most of them went to play on consoles. as for cheaters, i can say i encountered one in the time i’ve played the game, and i did play a lot.

and as for bs2. if developers like blizzard, bioware, valve, id, iw and some others would think like this “Either you try to do everything and so nothing feels finished or you focus your efforts to do a smaller number of things really well like an accessible online experience.” we would have probably no decent games on the market. what they said here is a lot of crap. what kind of moron would buy that!? u just wanted to cut down the costs u pieces of s**t. also “We chose to spend the time we had creating a solid game foundation and unfortunately that did not include LAN play or dedicated servers.” what? u already had a strong game foundation u f**ktards. u had the engine rdy, which not even most of the developers that i have previously mentioned don’t have when they start working on a new game..

that’s all. cheers.

What? endgame are you for real? I have yet to play one session in MW2 on the PC were i don’t encounter a cheater. It’s always Wallhacks and Aimbots.

How is microsoft’s and sony dictorship coming along these.
