How is it a rip-off if all the missions ins't consisting of actually going after badguys? In Breach and Clear, it's point a to point b and Wave Defense, it's Horde mode. It was IW's answer to both Co-Op and Nazi Zombies.

Trust me, if IW had a BETA this go round, I would suggest it.

That may be a kill streak already. We'll see.

I've been playing a lot of CoD4 lately, I am really excited for this game now.  I think I might actually go to a midnight launch on my own will!

Likewise! All this Modern Warfare 2 hype has got me back into COD4. Love that sniper mission.

PC version is not delayed but there won't be any dedicated servers.

Bash and Slash summery of 402 interview[LIST]
* We're doing a lot on the backend to make the game accessible for everyone.
* There is no delay for the PC version of MW2
* There's prestige mode
* Jason West at the MP event, said that he was dead on, on the matchmaking servers. We've been building a system on the backend called IW.NET.
* You are completely reliant on IW.NET. There are no server lists. There are no dedicated servers.
* You have private matches where you can customize the game
* You cannot put MW2 on a dedicated server.
* This is the first time we've ever done something like this and the team has huge plans for what IW.NET develops into.
* Customizing your game...you have quite a few options in a private match
* You're getting same game (as in Console), plus matchmaking and private match.

IW.NET huh...Kinda like Battle.net? Lol why not just use that. Activision Blizzard is dumb sometimes.

So I guess this means that MW2 on PC is exactly the same as the console versions eh? It even costs the same!

*Waits for the rest of the PC community to baaaaaaaw and boycott*

I don't give a shit about supporting anyone. The game looks fun so I'm buying it. End of story.

Sounds to me like Activision wants to do away with the mod community and get PC gamers used to the idea of paid DLC. I am sure COD is only the tip of this iceberg for Activision...and if successful, all big developers able to manage their own matchmaking servers will follow. PC gamers should boycott the shit of out this game. It is nothing more than a litmus test and buying it is a vote positive.

It's not exactly hard to have matchmaking AND dedicated servers for the people who want them :eyes:

All I can say is welcome to console gaming, PC players.

Activision: taking things backwards by 10 years. Wait, Quake had dedicated servers in, I think, 97. I take that back. Activision: taking things backwards by more than 10 years.

Don't think of it as a boycott. Think of it as a vote. Every time you buy a product you are casting a vote. A vote for everything that corporation stands for. Everything they build, test, market and sell. Every ethic they hold or don't. Every lobbyist they have in Washington trying to dictate policy. Every innovation - good or bad - consumer serving or self server - that they support. You are voting.
