If you have a 360 I would get it for that instead. For one the Community on the 360 is 10X more than the PC version and it is simple to get together with friends and play. The PC version also has lots of cheating. It is up to you but imo the only thing you are missing by not getting the PC version is the mouse controls which imo isn't as satisfying as a controller since all you do is point and click.

The PC version got gimped big time in terms of features, almost to the point that the only difference between the PC and the console version is the keyboard and mouse, and the PS3 has the Frag Pro and Frag FX.

If you want to get it in PC, go ahead people just dont like that it has no dedicated survers. I have tons of friends who have the PC version over the Xbox because it uses steam and steam has free online. I would get the PC versiom myself if you can run it.

Also for haters on me I own all the Consoles and a High end PC. Love them all.

I figured since your name has the 360 and how your question is phrased it seemed as if you had an option. I am loving COD on the 360 but wouldn't buy it for the PC.

AFAIK the PC version has no leaderboards and if it is anything like the last game your stats are saved on your PC and not a server like the 360 version. I am not 100% sure.

The pc version is still the best version of the game, the reason that it got low scores (not low enough in my opinion) is that pc gamers expect (quite rightly) more from their games than console players.

If you don't have cod 4, get that instead, it's a better game in every way.

Modern warfare 2 is basically modern warfare without dedicated servers, without mods and with a frame cap of 85. It's a step, nay, a giant leap backwards. It was supposed to be as good as if not better than cod4, it doesn't even deserve to mentioned in the same breath :D

That's not to say it's a terrible game, bad cod is still cod.

mw2 sucks basically, the devs took out a LOT of content and increased the price; only a fool would buy it really. cod4 you get MORE content and its cheaper.

It got a lower score because of IW.FAIL. There is nothing wrong with the game itself, sp, spec ops and the actual multiplayer gameplay are all good imo, but sitting there waiting for a lobby: GAME LOBBY CLOSED, CAN NOT CONNECT TO HOST, COULD NOT MIGRATE HOST, SERVER CONNECTION LOST, STEAM CONNECTION LOST and of course my favourite, exiting and getting put into the exact same lobby 13 times (the lobby being full of hackers) before it changes me to another lobby. IW.NET is fail and the game would be so much better with dedicated servers.

No they don't. But they have more players playing MW2 so it makes finding a game a lot faster and usually will not give you the same connection problems that are found on the PC version right now.

There is no reason to buy or not to buy it on the pc. It really depnds on what you prefer....the score is low because many people who dont even have the game like to rate it wih 1.0 without even playing it, and all that because of the lack of dedcated servers. Big deal MP is still pretty good even without dedicated servers.
