Just wondering. How does all of this effect LAN play? Would be a huge loss if this couldnt be played at LAN parties or would it probably be the case of client listening servers? Anybody know of a LAN option?<br><br clear="all">
Thanks,<br>Vadim<br>

Richard, remember Activision hires Ryan to port the exe and other files so they run on the Linux OS. Ryan is a business man and I would imagine he would like to continue any further business practices with Activision on good terms. He can not comment or should comment on this. <br>
It's simply not his fault, or doing. All we can do is appreciate all the things Ryan has done above these contracts with Activision (release zero day patches for us)<br>
<br>
Thanks Ryan, wish you got this contract, here's looking that you get the Dice contract for BFBC2 and BF1943.<div class="im"><br>

You have got a nice ball rolling, sir.<br>
<br>
What happens next though? Does Ryan C. Gordon beam down, snap his fingers and release Linux bins? :-D<br>

First let me say that I will not be hosting or releasing any files<br>
for MW2, With the lack of any response or support from IW or<br>
Activision I see no reason to support them with my bandwidth,<br>
community or access. Hell after my public comments I may not have<br>
access to these files anymore, but that's fine I can move on to<br>
other games and or hobbies rather quickly. Sorry there's no<br>
kissing ass on my end.<br>
<br>
I've already informed my community that MW2 is a "must wait for<br>
patch" title and not to pre-order or purchase on day one.<br>
<br>
Not sure if any GSPs are pre-renting MW2 servers but you should be<br>
very careful and watch yourselves. With the lack of any real PC<br>
related information, worst then any past Call of Duty title to<br>
date, I can only feel that we are in for a very bumpy road as well<br>
as some very bad headaches.<br>
If there's any type of dedicated server in the box, you already<br>
know it's going to be Windows only, for god knows how long. That<br>
combined with unreleased system specs for the clients means they<br>
don't know what or how it's going to run.<br>
Then there is this whole rumor about the PC version being delayed.<br>
It's been close to 2 weeks now and Activision, IW and or 402 have<br>
yet to confirm or deny the rumors in public. That can only mean<br>
they are trying to rush what ever they have out the door.<br>
Unfortunately we'll have to pay for their rushing a product that<br>
unlike past Call of duty titles from IW their hearts are not in it<br>
this time. Which means for us, a buggy game with many unsolved<br>
issues when it's released.<br>
<br>
With the lack of any information or simply communications from IW<br>
in regards to the PC side of this game so close to release, what<br>
make anyone think that we'll get the support after the game ships?<br>
<br>
Sorry for my rant Rudedog out.<br>
