[cod] Sorry have to vent, Modern Warfare 2 on the PC

[James Landi]

I have a feeling (and it's my own) it's IWs way to push the PC player 
out of the CoD series.  So their next game can be console only.

It's been a fun ride everyone, see you over at the MOH mailing list.  
EA's next game should have an interesting MP side.....
