The problem is that IW/Activision are trying out a brand new way of making pc gaming a level playing field by using steam/IWnet and that will include a fee of some sort I guess....

The communities that will really feel the effects are the map/modding communities and probably the competitive gaming scene as well.

I think a fee is more or less guaranteed in my opinion, I mean they could quite easily sell the game for £10/$10 and then continue pushing DLC onto us every few months, or even worse, charge a monthly/yearly fee.

I do agree with the effects on the map/modding community, have they forgotten Counter-Strike so soon? Started out as a mod and now look how big that's become.

They haven't released any information yet regarding this 'new direction' we're all headed so we shall see.

Personally, I'm a PC gamer and have been for many years, I'd like to keep it that way, preferably with dedicated servers and mod tools :D

Canceled the pre-ordered server and my copies of the game. Really a sad state of affairs these days with these games. I will stick with the old tried and true games.

I got four other people to cancel their orders too. Looks like IW will be losing a lot of money for this game on the PC side.

Just think:

$60.00 x let's say 10,000 copies = $600,000.00

That is a large chunk of change to just disappear and I am sure when the sales data comes in within the first quarter, they will rethink their stance and fire their marketing team. LOL

Reading this will cause me to do three things. First off, cancel my pre-ordered server. I have not pre-ordered the game because I have 24hr stores here that sell them, and am usually up at that hour, so I planned to just head on over and beat the rush. I won't be doing so, now. Secondly, Post my sig in the IW petition. Third? Head over to my own clan-site, tell everyone to cancel their pre-orders, and explain this, with the above links, and then look towards either continuing with COD4 for as long as it lasts(see it hitting a re-prise in popularity) and perhaps adding a game from another company altogether.

What a huge disappointment for the COD-series fans, as if COD3 and W@W weren't enough!!!!

Perhaps 402's nic should be put into perspective..... 420......go smoke another bag, don't think you've lost enough of your senses yet....f..kin moron!

I´ve thought about buying MW2, but since today i´m totally focused on BF:BC2. DICE may fail sometimes, but they never would try something like that. What i´ve heard from several COD players was before today that they really liked the COD series and still all wanted to buy MW2, but now nearly noone except of a few want to buy it.

In my opinion VAC isn´t that bad, but i don´t like it for myself.

It would be fun to see the Activision stock fall a little as a reaction to this announcement, but I doubt that will happen.

Honestly game devs are going nuts these days.
Even Blizzard has announced Starcraft 2 would not have a LAN feature :blink: a couple of months (or is it years yet) ago.

(Well, they are the same company afterall.)

Seems all threads regarding dedicated server were deleted from IW forums :P, but people are making new one's.

Seems someone is going to have allot of "deleting" on their hands if they want to hide error they have made :P

What a sad state of affairs this is. The game makers are slowly trying to groom PC gamers into accepting sub standard console features, just to save a little money on developing a polished PC version of a game... a version which would sell more copies and give them a better return on their development costs.

This game will fail on the PC.. and fail hard. IW/Activision is going to learn a harsh lesson from PC gamers this time around.

I haven't pre-ordered it, so unfortunately I can't show my disgust towards Infinity Ward by cancelling my order. I have signed the petition though.
