My Thoughts on the Modern Warfare 2 PC Situation

This is the stuff I'm talking about.

Last night I posted a rumor about the PC version of Modern Warfare 2 being a console port. Reading through the Digg comments, specifically the complaints directed towards the game and Infinity Ward, I was met with the same immature, aggravating garbage that I’ve been reading for the past month.

If I sound bitter, it’s because I am. The amount of vitriol pouring out of the internet over the PC version of Modern Warfare 2 was unbearable before it even started. That’s right. It’s so awful, it defies time and space.

I’m not a console gamer. I’m simply a gamer and I play on consoles and PC. All of my friends are on Xbox Live so that’s the version I bought, so I admit I was never affected by changes to the PC version. But here’s the thing: despite my anger towards PC gamers, I don’t necessarily disagree with them. I’ve never even thought about it, because I’ve been trying as hard as I can to avoid every one of you. I’m all for organized protests, but that’s not what this is, because most of you decided to scream at the top of your lungs, bang pots and pans together, and throw your shit at the walls.

And the only logical step anybody took, starting a petition, failed because of shit like this. I feel your guys’ pain. I really do. If I was a serious PC gamer like a lot of you, I would probably be just as disappointed. But the way people acted, and are still acting, needs to stop. This isn’t directed at everyone. Some of you are very sane, but for every John Kershaw there are ten slobbering idiots smashing bricks over their heads and threatening to never support Infinity Ward again, all the while playing Modern Warfare 2 on Steam.

If you guys think you can convince IW to patch in dedicated servers, a lean function, and all the other stuff you’ve been deprived of then, by all means, continue in a civilized and organized fashion. If not, wait until they butcher Modern Warfare 3, and then don’t fucking buy it. Or at the very least, play it offline and avoid looking like hypocrites.

    “…then don’t fucking buy it”

    tru.dat, I get the feeling im the only PC gamer who is perfectly content not buying MW2 and not giving it any thought. I did get a chance to play a little of a friends copy and to be honest not only does it lack the proper multiplayer functionality but the single player is exactly the same as MW1 and pretty much every other CoD game, yes its cinematic but its tired and really not worth 60 bucks when there are better, and cheaper, multiplayer PC games out there, like Left 4 Dead 2! :-)
