Sorry if this is old, I wonder how many more PC games will continue to follow this trend.

I know but still, since its the pc version i would at least like the best multiplayer. Also you cant kick someone, they say just quit and find another game. Thats annoying crap.

Pft... "we didn't have time to enable these features".

I couldn't care less for mp in bioshock,butthe most revolting part is they lying. Any moron can make dedicated servers and they set out to create an imbecile matchmaking.

I don't see the multiplayer taking off anyway, who really cares about it? It's a singleplayer focused game.

I'm quite fine with the lack of dedicated servers since while I do have great memories with mods and custom games on Counter Strike and Jedi Outcast, its not something I'm majorly worried about. Some of the best mods mostly come from Half-Life 2 and Garry's mod nowadays.

Of course the lack of a vote tokick option is stupid beyond comprehension. Sure its had its problems, but no kicking is even worse when your playing MW2 with a drop shotting, Javelin glitching 12 year old. Bioshock 2 will likely have at least a few MP glitches if it can gain popularity, so this will just make things worse.

Noooooo! my PC games are almost becoming as retarded and pointless as console games! ughghgu

What's next? no mouse + keyboard support?

The wii is the only console worth having for the games. I have a PS3, but I never play that stupid thing because of 'meh' exclusives, and I don't even buy any games for it because pretty much every game is way better on the PC.

Wow. Hermits, my sympathies, but it looks like MW2PC has started a trend. This actually pisses me off, in a way. I mean, I'm a consolite, but I respect PC, and now these two devs giving it's multiplayer the finger is pathetic.

No, I don't even want to buy this game.

But that's not the point! Devs shouldn't beneutering PC games at all, regardless of how terrible it is.

Who expects BioShock 2 to have a decent MP? Let's be honest here, not many would play the MP even if it had dedicated servers.

I've preordered it too, and I can't say I care for the multiplayer.
