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

[Chris Salsberry]

Well it appears that Tripwire Interactive is making the next installment of
Red Orchestra Heroes of Stalingrad.  It has some very promising features and
is built on the UT3 engine.  If it is like anything else tripwire has done
it will be fully supported on both dedicated server platforms with SDK on
release date.  For those who are interested I would recommend you check it
out.  I have been playing Killing Floor and their support has been excellent
on the game.  Just food for thought on people maybe looking at a replacement
since we have been kicked in the unit on this one.
