It's **** up that they're screwing up the gamers who made COD great.

Haha, fail.

ii think most of the people who were with the COD series from the begining have moved on given the depths the series has sunk toThebettertwin

Wait, why would they do that?AAllxxjjnn

Its the developers fault. Get it for PC if you comp can max it out other wise go for the console version.

Well it's like official now if some didn't believe it:http://www.infinityward.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=121990.

I guess when a mod makes a thread like that, it's real. :(

Someone posted this one the MW2 board:

• IW has control of the game

• IWnet servers will host multiplayer

• DLC will be a charged item for PC

• No dedicated servers

• Matchmaking system used to play with similarly ranked players

• VAC instead of PB

• Semi-capable password servers

• Semi-capable ad-hoc servers

• Competitive play is dead

• MW2 mods would not be possible

• Full integration into Steam

Why are they even releasing a PC version at this point?

Looks like community will stick to first MW2 (it's not like MW2 will be that different anyway), just like they ignored WaW and sticked to CoD2

I think the reason why they're doing no dedicated servers is to sell DLC and to prevent private servers used by pirates. I don't see the point though, CoD4 is already one of the most, if not THE most popular PC online shooter, taking away servers isn't gonna make more people buy it, quite the opposite. Consolizing PC games has always resulted in FAIL, old dog like IW should know this.

Trading 30 player online for a 16 player lag-fest is a step back, match-making alone is a huge turn-off for me. I hope, and believe that MW2 will be a massive sales flop on PC and when making MW3 they'll look at the mistakes they made, though more likely they'll just blame piracy and dump the PC version altogether.

seriously? IW just destroyed their hardcore PC community. Never buying this game. At least Treyarch didn't pull this crap.

Haha matchmaking.

The whole concept is a joke and should be ended.

It's probably his fault!

Yeah..lemme guess Activision also started World War II right?

ACTIVISION ASSASSINATED JOHN F KENNEDY! BOYCOTT THEIR GAMES!

I don't see why people think Infinity Ward is some great developer..whatever.

Hey dont tell us we didnt tell you that the series died years ago:|GulliversTravel

At least this means we won't have to buy MW2 for mods, those in development for MW1 that were supposed to switch to MW2 (like the great looking Star Wars mod) will stick to MW1. Heck...without user tweaks it means none of the people who played in modified hardcore variants will be able to play too

Whoops, we've had an accident.

I think they're moving out of the PC games industry and into the book industry at the same time, so this is just material they're creating for their first book "How Not to Develop a PC Game".

At least, that's the only explanation I can come up with...

bad bad bad. Why don't PC gamers boycott this like they did for L4D2? Silenthps

PC gamers don't need to start up any sort of organized boycott of this. A PC game that costs 60 dollars and has no out of the box support for mod-making OR dedicated servers? No PC gamer would want to buy that... (or at least not the kind that goes onto GameSpot all the time and would actually, you know, KNOW that a boycott was going on and know about this outrageous money-grubbing)

It's still going to sell millions on consoles, though, and a bit on PC as well.
