[cod] CoD:WAW... still nothing on linux front...

[Caleb Stephens]

Wow! Botched!  I was listening to I think last weeks Bashandslash round
table, and one of the fellas said that he thought WaW would be dead if they
just didn't get in the server redirect in by Christmas.  I'd tend to agree
with that.

The linux port is just as valuable IMO.  In that same roundtable, someone
made the comment that the number of servers online was far lower than COD4s
at the same time in the release schedule.  But nobody mentioned the Linux
port not being out for WaW lol.  Had the linux bins been out, we probably
would have had at least 5 servers up.  that's just one clan ... extrapolate
that out ...

What can we do as a community to influence IW to develop their servers on
Linux as they test and develop COD6, and then have native Linux support
right out of the gate? (and then they can perhaps work on the Windows port
to be released a month or two after game launch?)

Am I the only one that thinks this is a no-brainier?
