Well they can drop it then. No way I'm playing a console game on my PC.I have the eggbox for that.
I'll preorder borderlands with the money saved from mw2, it's getting good reviews :D
I'll also setup more cod4 and waw servers since most of us will play there.

They won't screw this up again if the response is appropriate.
If PC guys don't buy this game, and the COD4 numbers hold, then I think they'll have the test case to a) release a dedi or b) just drop PC all together.

I've always wanted to move to Valve, but only the real COD community can make a real source mod that feels like a cod game.
Btw a PC game like cod or coduo...
Time will tell, i'll be glad to map on that project.
Otherwise DICE might make the GOTY on PC with BFBC2.
PS: What about Treyarch? will they screw things up next year?

I say that a group of community modders and mappers gets together and starts a "source" mod. Call it MW2:Source or something like that.
Make it badass and build it off the source engine. Make the maps exactly like in MW2, models and all. Then for a map pack make the stock cod4 maps/models and so on.
What do you all say....
