<div><font size="1">As Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a Windows game, there's typically little official word on Linux support. However, we typically contract out as someone noted for Linux files to be made post-launch. This time around however, I know we've been working with them to work on the Linux support in conjunction with our official Windows release, but none of that is official.
<br><br>I believe it was our intention to hopefully line up Linux file releases at the same time as launch but last I heard it was taking them a bit longer so they should / hopefully be out shortly after launch. Again, Linux support isn't done by us here IW so we can't promise any timelines / support for that, but as I said we've made sure to be working with those who do, do the linux files to get them out sooner and closer to launch this time around.

<div>Thing is, most hosters won't have have a lot of spare machines with one o.s sitting idly doing nothing. We have a few windows boxes but are typically in use, but we have a lot more Linux servers with space that can be used and is easier. So we may put up one windows server, but could probably have 20 or so cod4 ones if it was on Linux.
