Someone contacted me and asked that I forward this along. As a person who believes in possibilities, I figured I would.

However, I have to say I'm not sure it's possible for GOG to get around P2P setups using a Gamespy approach. I think they'd need some sort of buy-in from the gaming companies.

I could be wrong which is why I'm posting this.

The person who passed it along to me had faith in the idea.

If you have faith as well, go to the following link and vote/comment accordingly. I'm told GOG is very responsive to customers.

By the looks of it Call of Duty is all but dead on PC. There's almost no one playing it even on the initial release. This means that no matter what we will never see any improvement in this area since they make enough money with the consoles.

Does anyone care?

I admit it, and I hate the fact that I bought it, but I can't lie I'm having at least some fun with it. Most times I'm complaining due to the difference in my screen's reality and the kill cam replay as they differ at times - in a big way.

I had someone tell me that it was ME that was wrong - lol - I'm not sure how that makes sense. The architecture sucks. Sure the 'server' is always right, but shouldn't my screen be too? I swear people are such idiots sometimes.

Anyway, I'm guessing most people in this group didn't buy it. Good for you!

Whether they know it or not, PC is the gaming platform. I know some gaming wannabees don't get that since they were raised by barbarians who could only use their thumbs, but that's the way it is. Consoles are for FIFA, not FPS. Maybe the Steam box will make people understand.

PS - I heard the AW gameplay on consoles is extremely slow and people can't even jump around much due to the horrible controls.

I received a message from Steam friend today who wanted me to post about the insanely ridiculas imbalance of CS:GO to Ghosts players. So since I run this group I thought I'd post it.

7:24 PM - Ballowers: Can you update the CoD Dedicated Server petition? It's been barren for a few months. You should post this in the announcement http://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/1130/6532/original.jpg CSGO has reached 194k players because it has rentable dedis, and I talked to lots of people leaving cod and battlefield for csgo because of the rentable dedis + mod tools.

CS:GO Players: 194,016
Ghosts Players: 4,593

Honestly, I don't know if the player numbers are low cause of dedicated servers or just because the game sucks, but I do know dedicated servers are important for various reasons.

Will the next Call of Duty have dedicated servers?

Oh, sorry I thought that was rhetorical....absolutely NOT!

We all tried, and I'll keep this group running to show support, but this time I'm not buying the next Call of Duty and I would highly recommend that no one else in this group does either. I urge you all to resist this time around. They are ripping the PC community off and it needs to stop with our wallets.

If you want to support a game that cares about PC, try supporting a Valve game like CS or a Dice game like Battlefield 3 or 4.

Let's throw our support as a community behind the companies that care instead of fighting for crumbs from these blood suckers.

I urge you to post your thoughts.

I haven't heard, but haven't been looking for news on this topic. It appears Titanfall is using Microsoft's Cloud service which was what I thought Ghosts would try to do and then possibly rent servers through them.

Anyone hear anything?

I'm not even sure people on PC are playing Ghosts.

According to http://gtm.you1.cn/storesteam/stats/ it seems Ghosts isn't even in the top 25 and is being beaten by Black Ops II and Modern Warfare 3.

We're about 150 members away from reaching 5,000 members! Pretty impressive everyone :)

And don't forget to push IW about the cause!
