Well I hope you get more attention than we did on Brink forums where they
actually promised linux dedi binaries from start. Now six months later we're
still waiting but spirit is low and so are the count of folks still playing
- shame  :(

Dear MW3 Developer,


We seriously need Linux binaries. Your hardcore, competitive, and
enthusiastic fan base needs this. A Linux server is extremely efficient and
so much easier to script, shell, integrate, and package. It would be a great
pity to neglect this important factor for on-line competitive gaming. So
many times I have seen servers pop up at offices, colleges, or anywhere
there is a spare Linux box to run a game server on. Typically they run much
better than their Windows counter-parts requiring much less hardware and
resources -- simply install the files, create a small script, execute the
binary in background or screen, and spend more time playing, administering,
and enjoying the game vs. constantly tweaking to get the server stable or
functional (at its current state).

Your fan base was built on Linux game servers all the way back to the
heritage of Quake 3, MOH:AA, COD 1 and 2, etc.

Thank you for reading. =)
