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

I strongly agree.

Shutting down servers is really just giving IW a another argument for
introducing IW-NET.

Agree; Nov 10 should be named the international COD Dedicated Server day ...
EVERYONE should be in a Dedicated COD server playing for as long as possible
on Nov 10.  It's a Tuesday - which sucks.  But it's the only way we can send
the message.  We're not buying this crap; we'll stick with our old games
just because they have dedi's. 

And all GSP's should send out a message to their customers to stream the
news in their games / and or help configure the cvar message.  And certainly
not purchase MW2.

Then IW decides.

Still think that it will only hurt us and not IW.
Good things to do are NOT buying and Renaming the servers into boycott MW2,
not shutting em down.
I'm opening more servers on NoV 10 not shutting em down.

Ok I've only got two servers up and running but they will be coming down!

And not a single penny will leave my pocket for another COD game period.

Shouldn't this be done before 11/10? 

Knowing IW, they'll just blame this on the GSP's and use it as fire as to
why they need to get the multiplayer model off the dedicated server
platform.

The sales stoppage is the more powerful pull.  Nothing is worse that
spending tens of millions of dollars growing a race horse just to watch it
trip and break its leg out of the gate in its first race.

On the contrary, if COD4 and other COD servers remain going full speed with
no dip in activity on release day, that would prove that the dedicated
platform is more valuable to players.  And it would dispel IW's claims as
complete and utter myth.

I guarantee you that if they see a big fat goose egg on release day, they'll
announce plans to release a dedicated server as soon as possible.  Either
that, or they'll just give up on PC at that point and speed their transition
to console.

We simply need to vote with our dollars.

Considering what most of the people reading this do, we'd be in a good
position to 'market' this.

Well, I have now pre-ordered CoD:MW2, just so that I can cancel my
pre-order if IW doesn't change their stand on this in the very near future.
