They can turn the switch when they need to sell you MW3.

Look at the money they make from the Guitar Hero and the derivatives. Same idea packaged differently as many times as possible.

Now that is not a bad thing...

I don't think someone is thinking in killing PC games in purpose, but business decisions like this will kill PC gaming...

Now, PC gamers won't (hopefully, for their own good) buy MW2. But you know what? I think we would have pre-ordered and bought MW3 and MW4 in a flash. If there were dedicated servers from them that is...


agreed.

A lot of people(and myself) was about to buy MW2 for the PC, but cancelled it because of the lack of support for us. I played it with my friend of PS3, and I must say that I like it. Too bad they let us down frown

9v9 multiplayer - rubbish but I could live with that considering how small the standard maps are...
No leaning - what the hell? Obviously aimed at the spray and pray brigade. That's just like Counterstrike isn't it?
Now pay per play - COD is dead!
I was boycotting EA, but I may have to rethink that. They almost look good now!

Ok, I am going to put my two cents in here for what it is worth. The following is not directed at any particular comments made thus far regarding the PC version of CoD:MW2.

First of all, yes no dedicated servers. I agree, it is a shame that they are not supported. And yes, no lean. That one really boggles my mind. And I can understand why some might not like the idea of losing Mod support but I do not play Modded anything other the Arma 2 at the moment so I can not comment on that. However, after playing the game through single player ~1.5 times and about 10-15 hours so far of multiplayer, it is a lot of fun ON THE PC! The story in single player is still top notch. The multiplayer is still of very good quality...even with 9v9 players. Action is fast paced both sides of the coin. In fact, my friends that normally have been playing either CoD:MW and CoD:WaW are moving over to CoD:MW2 as we speak. While not having a regualar dedicated server is unfortunate, it just is not enough of a negative to keep us from doing so after having played the game for a time.
