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

[|T-OC|Morpheus|:.]

Hey, don't forget COD1/UO/2/4 folks that wil be playing 'till their 
death like CS players :D

Anyway, I don't think Infinity ward is entirely responsible for all the 
shit that will be in the game, even if they have coded it. If they still 
were thinking on their own, they would not have rammed asses and hopes 
of their players/customers like they are doing...
