alterMW3 released

[YayMii]

Pretty sure that this advocates piracy in a way that GBATemp frowns upon.

GBAtemp doesn't frown upon piracy. If it did, then there would be no need for the scene releases of pirated games on the front page.
We're fine with piracy, as long as nothing directly illegal is posted here (to prevent the 'Temp from getting shut down by legal issues)

does this need better specs than mw2 to play on lowest settings?

My mid-range laptop I bought last month plays MW2 on the highest settings. I'll report back with how MW3 runs once I give it a shot. It's almost finished downloading for me.

...My Macbook Air runs MW2 at the highest settings, and it doesn't even have a dedicated GPU. It's not that demanding.

Yeah I'm suprised this is up still.

Yeah I'm suprised this is up still.

Why?
Nothin' illegal in this thread. It doesn't provide any links to download MW3 itself.

Private servers themselves are illegal, which is why they are shut down by the official server holders if they are ever caught. Seriously, the fact this thread still exists confuses me too.

yay..P(ir)iv(ate)servers!

This thread was closed but later reopened due to the fact it doesn't contain any links to warez/illegal content. Also, you didn't need to call out emmanu888. Many people (including myself) were having problems getting this working. You should do some research before you post.

You say a private server thread should remain opened since it's buggy? WHAT? This thread needs to be re-closed. Private Servers are illegal, simple as that, this is a private server. you can sugar coat it anyway you want.

No, you're not understanding. I said people were having trouble getting this working, that's why emmanu888's post was justified and you didn't have lash out at him for it. I stated that even though this is technically a form of a private server, there are no links to the actually game files, nor is GBAtemp hosting or promoting the use of alterMW3. Also, AFAIK, GBAtemp never said anything about no linking to private servers, so although it is "illegal", it doesn't really matter for the case of this thread.

Stop right there. It isn't your job to tell others what's allowed and what isn't.
You aren't a mod here so don't try to act like one.
The staff hates it when users criticize their decisions. Don't post in this thread again unless you want to contribute to the subject.

Sorry for my comment earlier. I really meant. I would have thought that it would have been closed. But if the mods dont think so. All good.

nope.
most private servers are illegal because they provide the (hacked) game files themselves (im not saying the game devs are still alright with it - they want them gone) but even in some cases it's not illegal (phantasy star online blue burst)

Considering that all you need to do is download the MP server files from Steam, its pretty much free, and good.
I'll Admit, with the FOV change to 80, it was pretty fun, just not as much as Bf3.

 

[Satangel]

FUCK YEAH!! I've been playing MW2 via AlterIWNet for over a year now, it's my favourite game of all time, I still play it daily. Thanks to the AlterIW team it works so good!
Alterops is just an utter dissappointment, doesn't work and feel right.
I'm going to love MW3. Thank you, thank you, thank you

 

[AlanJohn]

Fuck yes.

Oh wait, I still need to download 16gb of 5 hours of gameplay

 

[Satangel]

Honestly this is the best gaming news of the past 3 months. This will hold me over until the next Fallout releases, I'm sure of it. I've litterally played MW2 via AlterIW for the past year, every day.
I'm downloading this as we speak, hopefully they fix some bugs soon because in Alterops it's pretty bad.

Everything depends on the infrastructure of the dedicated server substitute, actually.

I've seen numerous instances of private servers that use no "original" game files whatsoever, a good example would be the L2J framework, which is a set of tools for creating Java-Based Lineage 2 servers, it has NOTHING to do with the original code and is a "homebrewed" creation entirely.

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong in using private servers provided that your copy of the game is legitimate.

Private servers simply aren't illegal. That's all there is to it, really.

Technically providing even a fraction of the game that's been modified is illegal, so the private server would have to provide you with patch files and an updater that overwrites your files, while they usually just provide full files that you need to copy over to your game folder, which isn't exactly legal.

Like I said, it's a matter of technical thingamajigs.

Game developers "claim" that private servers are illegal, but that's pure demagogy. If the private server isn't breaking any laws and does not provide any original game files then it's clean as a whistle.
