nuke is what I find the most laughable.<br>

Well this is just another game dev shop going the way of the console
and conforming the PC version to that platform. Same thing happened
with UT3, and it was an "EPIC" Failure as well, there is maybe 100
people online playing the game, there is more than that playing the
2004 version. PC gamers DO NOT want a console port, but the game devs
these days don't get it and/or don't care, they just want to make one
version and sell it to the 80% of noobs who don't know any better.<br>
<br>
There is unfortunately a huge amount of noobs who have started
"playing" (if you can call it that) FPS games on xbox and ps3 that
don't know any better, and this is negatively affecting what game
developers are doing with the games.<br>

<pre wrap="">Pretty good synopsis of Modern WarFAIL 2 for the PC;
NO dedicated server support - IWnet is match-making service and players host the game (ie, P2P)
NO mod support
NO leaning - apparently the game was not 'balanced for leaning'.
NO access to console commands (~key)
NO ability to KICK any players in Ranked matches (ie, public games) - so have fun playing with rascists, glitchers, griefers, spawn campers, and hackers.
MAX players = 9v9 for Groundwar mode (so expect less in other game modes, just like X360)
NO Record function
NO choice about who hosts the match - IWnet decides based on ping, etc.
During internal testing, they got 100ms pings on a LAN - and they thought that was okay.
25 kill streak gives you Tactical Nuke, and using it ends the match.
Their advice to combat Team Killers? Use 'reflect damage' in the menu options.
Their advice to combat offensive language/rascism - use the MUTE button.
PC version 'features': Mouse Support, Graphics Options in Menu, Text chatting. O.o

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

the game they want and are used to so no reason they would boycott it.

Everything we did to try to spread the word, and IW/Activision will
think we failed and that everything they are doing is what is best for
the consumer.
UGH!
