BASH 124: Aftermath
October 24th, 2009 — bashBASH 123 detonated over the CoD community like an atomic blast.
It has been a week now and we have all had a chance to recover.
On this week’s BASH, we look forward into the future of Call of Duty. A future that might be missing the elements that brought us into this game in the first place.
Today’s webcast features a status update on Modern Warfare 2, with an emphasis on community reaction.
We also talk about the stinging rebuttal from MW2 developer, Infinity Ward. Jason West’s reply was particularly strong and no doubt a stiff rebuke to the outcry from PC gamers.
We talk about the success of the online petition against IW and the wisdom of a server strike.
After what has happened, will you buy this game?
SERVER GIVEAWAY!
On to show PC community solidarity is, friend of the show, jimmycorps (jimmycorps.com) who will give away a dedicated 60-slot Linux server to a lucky BASH listener.
Trivia question: Besides PST*Joker, who’s the only other person to win on an episode of BASH’s quiz show “Kill or Be Killed”.
We have on PST*Joker, Bleed, Josh Peckler, Mattks and Ian Tannehill to talk things CoD.

Iwas just listening in,and at 22 minutes the steam conversation drops in,for the modding community,and this wasn’t mentioned there is a clear reason why iw has cjhosen to run on this platform,amd that is dlc.
World at War has made 70 million alone on downloadable content,map packs being the biggest earner for them. This is clearly a block move on the modding community for this reason,why would people pay for maps when they could download new maps/mods from the community sites for nothing.
This is clearly a money motivated move by iw.
