<BR>
NO dedicated server support - IWnet is match-making service and players host the game (ie, P2P)<BR>
NO mod support<BR>
NO leaning - apparently the game was not 'balanced for leaning'.<BR>
NO access to console commands (~key)<BR>
NO ability to KICK any players in Ranked matches (ie, public games) - so have fun playing with rascists, glitchers, griefers, spawn campers, and hackers.<BR>
MAX players = 9v9 for Groundwar mode (so expect less in other game modes, just like X360)<BR>
NO Record function<BR>
NO choice about who hosts the match - IWnet decides based on ping, etc.<BR>
During internal testing, they got 100ms pings on a LAN - and they thought that was okay.<BR>
25 kill streak gives you Tactical Nuke, and using it ends the match.<BR>
Their advice to combat Team Killers? Use 'reflect damage' in the menu options.<BR>
Their advice to combat offensive language/rascism - use the MUTE button.<BR>
PC version 'features': Mouse Support, Graphics Options in Menu, Text chatting. O.o</DIV><!-- / message --><!-- message, attachments, sig --><BR>

GameStop primarily caters to console players anyway, so what does it <BR>
matter how many pre-orders they have in regards to PC sales? A better <BR>
place to look would be Steam where most PC players will get the game (or <BR>
not, everyone I know has boycotted it). <BR>
<BR>
Long story short, if 100,000+ signatures isn't enough to tell IW what <BR>
their customers want then there's no getting through to them. Time will <BR>
tell what they do with this problem they've created. <BR>
