Infinity Ward Fights Against Modern Warfare 2 Cheaters 203

Posted by Soulskill from the be-careful-they-cheat dept.
Faithbleed writes "IW's Robert Bowling reports on his twitter account that Infinity Ward is giving 2,500 Modern Warfare 2 cheaters the boot. The news comes as the war between IW and MW2's fans rages over the decision to go with IWnet hosting instead of dedicated servers. Unhappy players were quick to come up with hacks that would allow their own servers and various other changes." Despite the dedicated-server complaints, Modern Warfare 2 has sold ridiculously well.

no psychologically sound person would do that.

I think you're missing the point; no psychologically sound person would do that, but we're talking about an alien here.

you'd pull a "I can't go on without you" moment?

Um... did we see the same movie? Ol' Chris bugged out with the mother ship and may or may not be back... we don't know. (Sequel anyone?)

Seriously, it's capitalism, let the companies stand/fall on their own merits, if you help them, then they should pay you, and if you don't, then all you are promoting is communism, except with corporations in charge, instead of government.

If the corporations are in charge, the word you're looking for is "fascism."
 
...but the right gets so upset when you drop the "F" bomb on them.

Star Trek Game To Launch Alongside New Movie 82

Posted by Soulskill from the set-phasers-to-not-terrible-please dept.
Paramount announced yesterday that Star Trek D-A-C will be available for download for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC when the movie is released on May 8th. The acronym in the title stands for different types of gameplay: Deathmatch, Assault, and Conquest. It's an arcade-style game, with a solo mode as well as multiplayer modes that handle up to 12 players. According to Joystiq, "It's a top-down 3D space shooter that doesn't require a lot of hardcore gameplay experience to jump into, but it features a large amount of strategic gameplay that'll please hardcore gamers." Several screenshots have been released.

Nah, the real sadness is anonymous cowards sitting in their mother's basements continuing to write diatribes against the folks trying to clean up a mess three decades in the making while defending the Gordon Gekko types who got us into it.

Rush/O'Reilly/Beck/Savage et al. are well paid liars somewhat akin to a circus clown hired by an amusement park owner after a roller coaster crash to distract the public from noticing that ride inspection wasn't all it should be.

My generation is afflicted entitlement mentalities and an aversion to actually doing anything to better themselves. It's sad.

Hmm, and this group constitutes Barack Obama's most ardent supporters.

Obama's supporters?!?!

Sounds more like those kleptocrat Rushpublican CEO's who, after running their companies into the ground, whine about having to forego multi-million dollar bonuses and are driven to a near fatal case of the vapors at the merest suggestion of having to survive on a salary of "only" $500,000USD/year.

Project much?
