IW has just screwed the pc community

[Infinite]

oh, and on the upside for anybody who is actually buying the game

No delay on PC for Modern Warfare 2. You'll also have Prestige Mode in PC as well as lots of Steam support. Hopefully min specs will be soon

it's coming out Nov 10th for the PC.

LMFAO now I know what this means, I can't believe any of you are buying this bollocks. It is obviously not true, no one would be that stupid. IW are not stupid enough to do something like that, not even Kim Jong Il is stupid enough to do something like that. I personally don't care where it was written. It is NOT true and MW2 is going to rock full stop.

Listening to the Bash cast again...

In the format of a Bart Simpson quote, "Play it slowly and you can hear the exact moment where PC gamers hearts break"

Shifty, we get one message a month from FourZeroTwo, the fact he done a LIVE interview is good enough confirmation for me.

On a serious note, ANYONE who has a preorder, CANCEL IT NOW! Reason being, when it comes to estimations and if they keep their eyes on shop sales (which I would guess they do) they will notice the major drop in preorders for PC).

----------

Just listening to the "pre-interview" natter.
Guy 1 - "I wouldn't be surprised if they release a console style server setup with no dedi servers, so they can meet their deadline."
Guy 2 - "Just to confirm you have no insider knowledge."
Guy 1- "Correct."

Another guy - "I could not imagine them releasing the game without dedi support. That would drive the PC community nuts".

And more:
Guy 1 - "They need to be there when the game is released. You do not go on holiday when you just release your product to your customers."
Guy 2 - "Release on the 10th, holiday on the 12th."
Amazing quotes.

Why is IW so retarded now? I really liked them.

I'll probably still get it, and will slap myself in the face afterwards if this is all true.

Fuck consoles.

My god, warez, in MY Codjumper forum??

in this forum, it's THE game.

Oh, and also, I have a theory as to why they did this dick move. IW never wanted to make CoD for the PC. By doing this, their sales for the PC in specific drop by a minimum of 50% (90% imo), and by doing so, they will have a better reason to stop making cod4 for the PC. That's the basics to my theory, cba to explain all of it.

Oh fuck yeah, I mean since my preorder was my only birthday gift from mum I'm not gonna cancel it, although $100 cash would be nice, I just cant believe something this big wasn't announced till now, you know how everyone remembers where they were when we landed on the moon?, well I will forever remember the time I was up at 3am listening to Bash Live, listening to the death of pc cod gaming. Anyway, I'm gonna pirate it on 360 and pc, and I'm gonna burn the discs and sell them to my mates for $5 each.

how would an illegal copy help? there will be no cracked servers. To me thats probably the main reason that they did this.

Troll detected, luckily I have some food.
You may one day realise, to make money in this world you MUST adhere to your customers needs.

According to gametracker, there are currently over 19000 PC gamers online now:
Lets say the average game is £30 (so, no prestige or ultimate editions, just standard game)

19000 * 30 = £570,000 (~$930,000)

If this was "just a game", why do IW not give the game away for free?
Because this is NOT just a game, this is the biggest growing entertainment business worldwide, and they are a company fighting for some of the money that this industry has. You do not get by in business without selling what is wanted. A game not supportive of the PC gamers needs is not going to be bought. Due to a major PC backlash, the company will lose a lot of money, piracy rates will soar and they could affectively lose Activision as a producer.

Take a second to think about what you are saying.
