For ounce I'm on Activision's side.the PC gaming community gets all the perks when it comes to gaming:better graphics ,free DLC ,mods and cheaper price .but for some reason they would rather PIRATE ALL THOSE GAMES instead of supporting the developers.

I GUESS THEY FINALLY HAD ENOUGH.YOU ONLY HAVE URSELF TO BLAME PC GAMERS

It is going to get pirated and even more now you think what they decided to do was going to help go against pirates if you want to increase your sells you don't go taking stuff away from it or give it restrictions you make a damn good game and you will get your sells no matter if some are pirated, believe it or not

You obviously did not see what happen with Spores. It ruined their sales because they were trying so hard to fight pirates. If IW and Activision can't deal with pirates, simply don't make the game for PC like EA with Madden.

How is what IW doing going to discourage pirates? In fact, I'm sure a lot of PC gamers will pirate the game in spite for what they did. What IW is doing won't encourage hardcore PC gamers to buy their games. Why shouldn't PC versions be better, why should a gamer with a good computer be force to play console level graphic and physics if they can play better? Why should PC gamers be force to buy DLC because console gamers especially 360 gamers, who allow Microsoft to charge them for DLC, allow companies to charge them?

Just because you like how companies abuse you doesn't mean every gamer out there will take it.

IW has tern their back on us, so I will not be picking up this game. I am a PS3 gamer, but will stand up for my PC brothers.

Agreed DEadlysinner. 55 of my mates and myself are doing exactly that. We know we won't make any difference this time but I'm standing up for gamers. PC gamers for obvious reasons, US and Japan gamers(as I'm in the EU and won't support the price hike or it'll be everywhere)and because IW and Acti have bnehaved awfully over this and let them do it to us and they'll be even worse to us in future.

Gamers need to drop the petty fanboy rivalries, stop being a 360/PS3/PC fan and be gamers. Just gamers so they stop sh1tting on us all like this.

It amazes me that so few are willing to stand up for their fellows on PC but it doesn't stop me thinking it's the right thing to do.byw, most people I know that pirate games only do it with games they either wouldn't buy anyway or weren't sure about and if they like them they generally DO buy them to enjoy full support and online play anyway. The piracy issue is NOT as black and white as some paint it-even if I never do it myself as a matter of principle. Being hoonest, though, I know sh1tloads of PC gamers who WILL now pirate MW2 to play LAN and IW can ONLY blame themselves for the lack of dedicateds AND then insulting us by lying over why!The good press for MW went to their heads I'm afraid and they tink gamers can't survive without their game(which will just be more MW-just like last time with gameplay the same as even WaW which they slagged off!)-roll on BFBC2 for me. Who#'d ever have thought EA could look like the better option?

I agree, there are better games out there that are better than MW2. For example, Killzone 2, it has dedicated servers, it supports 32 players online with no lag. It also has the best graphics of any shooter around. Another example, Uncharted 2, it also uses dedicated servers, and less not forget the great graphics too that it has. Also, Resistance 1 & 2 use dedicated servers, and I have never experienced any lag once or ever (that means 50 to 60 players online).

How good or bad the game is doesn't matter to me. It's the crappy way they begave that needs sorting out and while MW2 will no doubt be a huge selling game that doesn't mean buying it is the right thing to do.

By all means, it's everyone's choice and if you feel playing MW2 with your mates is more important to you than standing up for gamers in all this then I can't say you're wrong-you do what you feel is best.

I do think, however, that lying down for this crap will only lead to them treating us even worse in the future- and I don't want to feel that I'm partially to blame for that by supporting people who act as poorly as IW/Activision.

Only from the mouth of a PS3 fanboy will you hear "just don't get MW2 and play Killzone 2." Really? Even the first Modern Warfare was better than KZ2. I have KZ and I got rid of it because the replay value sucks. Yes the graphics are amazing but BFD, COD:MW brought so much more to the table with its multiplayer than KZ2. I can understand wanting to play UC2 because it has amazing graphics AND is fun as hell. But again, the multiplayer is nothing special. Of course this is just my OPINION. Boycotting MW2 won't do anything except deprive the boycotters of a great game. I would laugh my ass off if they (Infinity Ward/Activision) stopped making PC versions of their future games because of the boycott. (I used to be a PC gamer for shooters then realized consoles is where its at, though I still play RTS games on PC) Doubtless I will get plenty of disagrees......

yeah its great news, getting rid of dedicated servers, limiting it to 9 v 9 and using IWnet instead of using service such as punkbuster which works more than fine in modern warfare, good idea!

"Just no inovation, this game is all about money. Is not about making the best game that the fans want. "

Really??? This isn't a game that fans want? The most pre-ordered game in history and it is a game that nobody wants? RIIIIIIIGHT your a smart one. And this game is about money? Really? The last I checked publishers release games to MAKE MONEY. To make money you have to make a good game. Maybe Activision and EA and Naughty Dog and Insomniac and Valve and Bungie should just give all of their profits away. Why would those companies want to make money? What is the point in a business making money? .............................. ............................... ............... ..............DeadlySinner you are dumb.

Enjoy the version that's identical to the PS3 version, worse than the PC version, and costs $50 a year to play online.

if any sensible person was choosing between the pc and 360 version... they would choose the pc version for all the extra free custom content

if you choose the console version over the pc version it either means you cant play games on your pc(90% of the time this means you're a kid), or you must have a lot of friends you want to play with.
