So I want to get this game, but I am hesitant because of the server system switch. I am very curious to hear about other people playing this game in South Korea and how easy it is to find lag free games

Lag is my main selling point at this time. I am talking about the PC version also.

Thank for any info.

I am pretty stoked for this game and might actually buy it. I can't speak for MW2 or any of the other COD games, but I've played other online games fine in Korea. I have no problem playing in American servers but European servers cause a bit of lag.

I would tell anyone thinking of buying to read about the controversy regarding MW2's multiplayer.

If you are a pc gamer:
no more dedicated servers
"matchmaking" system which automatically pairs you up with people
one of the players hosts the game which destroys the ping of others
no lean
no access to console commands
no changing the field of vision
limited to 6v6 or 9v9 player MAX
no custom mods of the game
no alt tabbing while playing

it's basically a DIRECT port of the console version, and completely takes away all of the benefits of being a pc gamer while still paying the same price for the retail.

Get Borderlands, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead 2, or even Call of duty 4, way better choices in my opinion.

I'm getting pretty tired of PC games being ported directly from consoles with barely any effort to optimize then and make use of features only available on the PC. It's bad enough that PC games now have ridiculous amounts of DRM, but the stripping of no dedicated servers from Modern Warfare 2 automatically removes it from my want to buy list.

Imagine ten years down the road you remember how fun MW2 was to play. You fire it up with your friends hoping to get some nostalgic gaming going on but you can't because the matchmaking servers were turned off years ago. One can still fire up Doom, Quake, and Half-Life and play.

ordered it on steam over the weekend, wasn't hard getting games in the main mode (team deathmatch?) but the other modes dont' have as many people, I think the online play might already be cracked here in S. Korea, which is unfortunate only in that it creates less people avaiable to play with if you happen to have boughten the game

I keep getting shot with a kill/death ratio of 1:25

Now normally its a lag problem if you shoot a player in the back 8 times with a shotgun, he then turns around and knifes you... but the game does not feel laggy.

I guess its back to Little Big Planet for me.

the cracked version is the same as the bought one dude, theres no difference......

Imo they've made it fail by not having dedicated servers.....sucks

[gillod]

It;s hard to find a game thats' nto Team Deathmatch, but they've all bee lag-less. See a lot of the same people, but no real problems playing at all.

[Slowmotion]

I can comment on the games for 360, similar match making system i believe. If you are in korea and play with other people in the world, expect only a yellow bar no matter how fast your internet is. My connection is a 10 mb/S connection too.

For PC version I'm full green bars 95% of the time.
