As an outsider I find this funny.
But I also find it strange that some ISP have such strange restrictions. No p2p allowed? Why not? And assuming they have a reason for blocking p2p connections, how would you play console games that have used this system for some time now over this connection?
I can see someone shooting over a volume restriction, but some of the restrictions there are just ridiculous. Kind of makes me appreciate my ISP more.

Well, i belive the reason for this is that Consoles apparently use different ports, that have been flagged as "Consoles game here, it's not P2P piracy that could get us in trouble, so just ignore it", whereas IWnet on the PC uses ports that could just as easilly be used by a Bit-torrent app.
And apparently, a fair few ISP's offer cheaper connections with the stipulation "but you cannot use it to host a server, you have to buy a more expensive subscription for that!", and yeah, that'll get you in trouble plenty quick if you play MW2.
And yes, my own ISP is also looking slightly less garbage after having read this
On a practical level, IWNet makes little difference to how you'll play. You'll curse a different set of intangible data packets when you're rocked by lag - which isn't remarkably common - and hopping into games with a single click is preferable to browsing lists of ridiculously named servers.
How the hell does it matter when for you the game is crap anyways and you won't play it plus that site being known to you for giving ridiculous scores? That's like complaining about the price of a pack of raisins if you don't even like or eat them.

I was a long time reader of Zone. Since way back in '97 and what made the magazine stand out as something different was the writers attitudes and not being afraid of saying what they thought. They never handed out Classic awards to every single AAA title unless it was worthy.
Too high, the game doesen't deserve more than a 5.0 in my opinion, and that's beeing very generous too.
The 7.5 was the overall score for the game, including graphics, single player, and audio in addition the multiplayer.I'd say 6, not 7.5.. its not a horrible horrible game but its not good either

Well if you were a long-time reader and have a connection with it then that's something different of course. But I can sense some people bringing up new stuff only so they can hate it more instead of just not caring.
That, and it was only
