THANK YOU PC Gamers !!!

This is a big deal regarding cost of the game versus content delivered, but I personally don't find it big enough to boycott the game. Sorry, I will be getting it on launch :(Frenzyd109

the game has dubble the amount of SP lenght if you count spec ops, so I don't think they are giving you anything less for more money

Didn't have a preorder to cancel, but I'm not going to buy it.

$6 million in lost sales + extremely bad press. If you look at i.e. Amazon etc. CoD:MW2 has already received close to 200 one out of five reviews. Several hundred dedicated servers have boycott MW2 in the server name. 140k+ signed the petition. On Gamespot I am sure you will see a Editors Review score at around 8/10, while the user score will be around 2/10. All those things will damage the franchise in the long run. It would be a lot easier for IW if they just added support for dedicated servers.

IW has understimated how much damage the PC-community can do to their franchise.

And anywas, why would you buy MW2 without support for dedicated servers. The Call of Duty series is all about multiplayer. Now they have crippled that. I see no reason for buying CoD:MW2 ATM.

I also wonder what the hardware producers think about all this. nVidia, AMD/ATi, Intel, Creative, Logitech, etc. must all swear in their beards. Anticipated games and hardware upgrades are in fact closely related.

I signed the petition myself even though I had no intention of buying the game. I like to think that 100,000 people aren't going to buy the game. I know you could make a comparison with the completely inert L4D2 boycott but this seems more justified to me. I know the developers are free to do as they please but there is no reason bar 'convenience' to restrict the PC version in this way.

I don't think we'll be able to organize a mass boycott for this game, there will be people buying it.rmfd341

Watch the boycotters fold once the AAA reviews start coming in :P biggest_loser

fixed :P

i hope the game will be an epic fail.GazaAli

Haha, no problem :)

[troll]I'm glad you only said "PC" and not "Mac". I wonder if Mac gamers will ever exist?[/troll]

:P

You think its a big deal but you cant find anything to hold you over until it drops to $50?

this stuff is making me regret ever being a pc gamer come on people wake up and smell the coffee

The only reason i would want to get is to see what happens in the story.

I only just played the singleplayer for COD4 a few months ago, borrowed it from a friend, gave it back as soon as me and my brother finished it.

Yeah, the SP is awesome... but ur are missing out on sooooo much by not playing COD4 MP...

Never forget PC gave birth to online playing :) forever and always a PC fan!

If anything IW will just come up with a way to blame it on PC Piracy, introducing more DRM, and less support for the platform. But good job guys.

Get a grip. Just because we aren't buying it doesn't mean you can't.

Personally, I would have preferred a petition whereby money is donated to hire a gimp for the Activision CEO.

Might try and start that one up next year when Modern Warfare 3 is coming out.

[QUOTE="GazaAli"]i hope the game will be an epic fail.555SSOO

No.Why would you wish that!?

I hope that the game will be c**p on consoles,and brilliant for the PC;)

all i've seen lately is complaining about one thing or another don't you have anything better todo

It restores my faith in the community. However, i have never planned to buy it.Mr_Versipellis

Same here.

Didn't like CoD 4 MP that much, played the SP once (only took me 4 hours) and decided then that I wouldn't get IW's next game. I gave Treyarch a chance with CoD:WaW, and did prefer it, but I'm pretty much burned out on CoD, and no longer interested in the series.

like i said once before.

as a musician, i dont like my art being told to me, how to be made... so i dont want to do that to these developers and their art.

but that being said, it already is with publishers, merging companies, and the worry of profit/loss....

so i wont boycott, but as it sits now im not that thrilled about the game like i was.

definately wont get it when it comes out.

but if it doesnt lag much (despite no dedicated servers)

and has alot of maps and non-expensive DLC maps (despite no mods)

then i may think about getting it later on...

but it is definately not a priority anymore.

no i mean i agree with you completely, its just, i have the other view as well, so its why im kinda not really against the game, but im only gonna get it if i think it would be a good game, latency issues included, and smoothness.. ill file all that under game performance (not engine performance) but that is included as well.

im fully aware of why gamers are angry with the dedicated servers issue, i understand why as well, and im not against you either. part of me wants to do the same as you guys, (been gaming over 22 years).

its just if it doesnt have latency issues (despite no dedicated servers)

and good maps, dlc, good community and decent support....

if this is infact the case when its all said and done, then there is nothign i can hold against it (personally) it will be just another variation of gameplay for me amongst the many other games i have. and will have.

It's not a boycott. The petition just implores for a review of their decision. You're never going to boycott the game.

"its just if it doesnt have latency issues (despite no dedicated servers)"

Won't happen. Not on PC unless you happen to be playing with someone with 12mb broadband +. Im running "8mb" with BT and i know p2p gets throttled resulting in poor ping. Lots of isp's do this not just BT so to manage bandwidth throughout the exchanges.

Not to mention the Host advantage.

And then there are all the hidden things like:

Why can't we have 32 player support or even 24?
Will we get to choose which map we wan't to play on?
Can this game be played again in 12 months?
Do I have to install anything special to run IW.net? Another running process I have to manage?
What else does this thing do? Does it collect player data? Browsing habbits? Am I being used for data or monitored?
If DLC comes out for example a skin pack. Will I need it to play on some servers? I could technically be forced into buying the stuff.

[QUOTE="Lach0121"]

[QUOTE="Kh1ndjal"] i dont think that's an accurate comparison. when someone listens to your music, their enjoyment does not depend on the latency or the number of people on the same server. but in multiplayer-centric games ($60 for a singleplayer game whose length is that of which is expected from a cod is insane), things like community and latency and server population do seem to matter a whole lot.dbpvivi

again i completely agree with you, worked dsl tech support, and installed cable internet.. i dont think its gonna happen either, but to think/believe in something absolutely100% isnt that smart. but i agree completely, i highly doubt that it will have great latency without dedicated servers... and host advantage lol yeah i remember how bad Gears of war was on 360 with that, a few others as well.

. but nothing is 100%, just saying.. it isnt out yet. i understand this is all about profit, believe me i see how the monetary system effects the world... but hey.. the end product may be a good 15-20 dollar buy for me to have for a decent single player, and a whatever it may be mp, thats if i think the game is worthy of my buy, which i dont know if it will be...

. i know a few weeks ago i really really wanted it, but after the news, its not a buy for me, its a try, then if i like buy... and i think most people should look at it that way, but im with you on the petition. send me the link to it, and ill sign it, after i read it... but just to let you know, if after launch if i think it ever meets my price/worth ratio, ill prolly be buying it.

lol no just a slightly different point of view, than from and infuriated gamer..

granted it did aggrivate me when i read the news, still... its just a game.

i hope the will be an epic fail.leon_kennedy007

I am gonna go ahead and take credit for quite a chunk of this for the following reasons:

• Soon after announcement I spread the petition (although I did not make it) on twitter #MW2, Gamespot Forums AND STEAM from as early as around 2000 signings.
• Informing the Gamespot Forums of the "movement"
• Making sure everyone on twitter was informed of the "movement"
• Reffering to the whole MW2 issue as a guerilla "movement"

Mmmmm yeh thats good for my ego *shudders&
