PC Gamers Unite: Global Stand Down Day!



- NO DEDICATED SERVERS -

If you found your way here Im guessing you understand just what the above statment means to the FPS PC Community.

There is an online petition you really should have signed by now HERE - If not get your ass there and do it pronto!

We at AngryEmployee are all understandably quite devastated about the prospect of no Dedi servers and so here are launching this campaign to ask that 'ALL' fellow fraggers the world over to embrace this concept, we must unite and come together as one on the 10th November 2009. (MW2's Official release date)

A simple task for the individuals involved, A humongous acheivment for the community on the whole.

Thousands of us have already cancelled MW2 pre-orders - Thousands have made the decision not to purchase the game on release, we have signed petitions, whined in forums and tweeted our little twingers to the bone.



Its time for the next phase "Mission - Possible" 'The Global Stand Down'

"A Global Standown"...?

On the 10th November 2009 @ 00:00 - 00:00 11th November 2009

- Every Server Host - Every Server Entity - Every Server Owner - Every Clan - Every Organisiation - Every Individual With the Power - The World Over!!!

Calling ALL fragging legends with administrative rights and access to 'ANY LIVE' Call Of Duty gaming server:

Please ensure you have your Keyboard, Mice, Monitors & Log-In Details @ the ready!

GO-TO GLOBAL STAND DOWN MODE & SHUT DOWN ALL SERVERS FOR A PERIOD OF 24HRS!
Nov 10th 2009 @ Zero Hundered Hours (A day for history of PC Gaming)?



The Stand-Down has the potential to be the biggest joint effort and remarkable statment of solidarity ever seen in the International Gaming Community.

This manover will of course halt Infinity wards master servers and bring them to a stand still: They can then instantly view which ip's they have temporarily lost the world over.

IW will immediatley understand how wide spread and deep routed our feelings are.

A true testiment of our commitment and buying power.

We are not ready to give up this fight and simply accept that this is a done deal, there is fuel for our already raging fires yet.

Please view our
UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT PAGE
for further information.

Between us we have almost three weeks (@ time of posting) To acomplish our goal.

The roots of our society need to be informed of this mission: All Organisations, Fraternitys, Clans and powers that be informed. Notices on our server spam, our forums our tweets.

Most of us have given the better part of a decade to the Call Of Duty series, the time for slanging and grimace is over: We have reached the crossroads and IW has forced our hand, now is the time for positive action and a real reaction.

AngryEmployee are a simple PC gaming clan like any other the world over: we simply wish to frag in the way we have become accustomed.

The sole reason we are here is pretty dam simple, We want our game back.......!!

Join us in the fight to: "Re-Claim our Game!"



Help us spread the word, copy and paste the text into your favorite forums, on clan sites, twitter, facebook whatever you can do PLEASE ASSIST YOUR GAMING COMMUNITY!!!

All very good but... what time zone?????

[Shaggy]

If it's global, it would have to be 'Zulu' time.

[IceT-Bag]

I dont have a 'zulu' clock

[Shaggy]

Zulu or UTC, Coordinated Universal Time, happens to be GMT

lol seems strange that people should punish themselves more by not playing the game they can. all it will do will give GSP's a break on their bandwidth it wont bother IW.

Its Obvious IW dont give a [sh*t] about PC Gamers so they wont give a [sh*t] about this

[Porky]

To be honest i cant see why this will make the blindest bit of difference??

if a petition of 162,000 people signed within 2 weeks didnt open there eyes then this wont....they dont give a shite about us pc ers anymore....

the only thing that will ever make a difference is a total black list of their products (including console stuff)

but this will only work if everybody sticks to it which i very much doubt

so....nice idea...but like i said cant see the point!

[IceT-Bag]

Its just another means of the community sticking together to show their disgust at IW's decision on the lack of dedi servers. Im sure we could all go 1 day without playing COD4.

IW may not take notice, but it may grab the attention of some media outlets. At the end of the day, this isnt just about IW, lots of games on the PC of late have been consolised in both game play and features. PC gamers are fed up of it, the whole IW:MW2 issue was the straw that broke the camels back!

FarCry 2 - consolised
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising - consolised
Rainbow Six Lockdown - consolised
Rainbow Six Vegas - consolised
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 - consolised
Modern Warfare 2 - consolised

...those are just off the top of my head, Im sure there are many more.

The only recent FPS games I can think of that made full use of the PC platform are: ArmA2 and Crysis. Hopefully BF2:BC2 will also fall into this category.
