I've lost interest.

Was always gonna get it on 360 and continue to look forward to it.

B.

Will probably still be playing borderlands anyway to really care

I was always going to get the 360 version, based on friends getting it. Were I thinking about getting the PC version I would not have given a crap about the lack of dedicated servers or mod stuff. I've never been much of a PC gamer though, other than Battlefield 2 a good while back.

Kind of lost interest in buying it at launch now. I enjoyed COD4 immensely on the PC, now I see MW2 is somewhat console-fied to the point I'm considering just getting it on the PS3 instead. But then apart of me is slowly losing interest in that game simply because so little is actually interesting me with it. The moment they announced death streaks I have to say I sighed a little and facepalmed. This is the issue with modern games, trying to make them more easy and accessible when we should really be rewarding good players for being good, not rewarding bad players for being bad.
 
To put it simply, if you get killed 5 times in a row by the same player then less QQing and more PewPewing. Being rewarded because you ostensibly suck at the game is counter productive. But hey the age of harsher online environments is over, now we've got fancy matchmaking to cure all our PC gaming ails!
 
Didn't you hear, Robert Bowling said it'll improve server stability, player enjoyment and reduce hackers!.....except VAC is not much better than Punkbuster ever has been. And a single person hosting a game with 32 people is going to be lag fucking central. That or they reduce the player count to something daft like 12 players per team at which point IW may as well announce they give up on PC gaming and are going console exclusive.
 
In fact I would have rather seen IW say "we're not porting MW2 to the PC" than see them do this ridiculous attempt at damage control and justifying what is a clear slap in the face of their many millions of PC gaming fans.

It's interesting to see that currently over 40% of people intend to play on Console anyway. I have never had any reason to doubt IW so i'm going to assume they know what they are doing.

I always play Farm Simulators. You can't go wrong with those.

I was never going to buy it at release with Borderlands and Dragon Age on my plate, but I certainly was thinking of getting it later. With the absence of dedicated servers and modding support, I'm thinking that I probably just won't get it at all. There are many other games that I can give my attention to that I think are far more worthy of my attention and more importantly my time and money.

pre-order pc version from playasia, hoping some-one makes a pc dedicated server hack for the game...suck it IW!!!

its also interesting to see just how important multiplayer gaming is in 2009. I thought the campaign in COD4 warranted a purchase in it's own right, and i'm sure MW2 will offer a similarly exhilarating experience. People are really willing to pass that up just because the multiplayer has been warped?

 I only found one negative and one positive with this whole thing. Other than that I don't see that big of a deal. First I will say the good thing. With this decision to stop the use of dedicated servers it will prevent me from entering servers hosted by douche Admins with stupid rules like no "NO RUNNING AND SHOOTING" and "YOU MUST BE ZOOMED DOWN YOUR IRON SITES AT ALL TIME" i also came across crouching only rules and no jumping. They just got really annoying and some nights that was all that was populated on other call of duty games. But the negative side of this is that I have met a lot of gaming friends and teamates on servers that I return to as favorites as well as meeting people that rejoin servers that I have run. I don't see something like that happening again because there is no way to be in the same server again unless you friend that person during that first time playing with them and partying up to join a game. Usually i wouldn't start talking to people and wanting to play with them until after a few matches or days of being on the same server.

Yeah... I'm pretty sure that the majority of the posters here were going to get it on consoles. However, I can see how it sucks... badly for the PC crowd.

it's kinda funny too, because i was having an extremely hard time deciding between L4D2 and MW2.  as of yesterday i preordered L4D2, and i suppose i have to thank Activision for making that decision easy.  i'll wait until MW2 on pc becomes a budget title, cuz there's no way in hell i'm paying 60 beans for what is essentially a single player campaign experience now that multiplayer is gimped.

Console. Always.

I'll keep my farm sims, thankyouverymuch.

Never did care for it that much. I will end up buying it for PC when it's gets a lot cheaper. As for multiplayer, I couldn't give a flying shit about that it anyway.

D...  Call of Duty is a terrible franchise. 
  
I'm extremely surprised by the number of people who were going to get it on the console anyways.  FPSs are worlds better on the PC. *sigh*

i planned on getting it for the console. it does suck for the PC gamers out there that were going to be getting it for the PC.

I suck at FPS games on consoles, and I won't be buying it for the PC because of what they're doing to PC gaming.

It's not really surprising though, this site is primarily console focused and therefore the majority of it's userbase would obviously follow suit.   I'm buying it on the PC, as I'm hoping the single player campaign will warrant the purchase. I can't see myself putting a similar few hundred hours into the multiplayer as I did with CoD4 though, and that's absolutely because of the dedicated server issue. "

I don't like many fps on console. Also, the PS3 controller is sorta crap. I can see myself playing it on 360, but my pc is bomb and can handle it

Never intended to buy it, but I do no play farm simulators.

HELL NO!

I'm getting it on both, I was going to get the PC game first, but not now.

If I'm going to get this game, it will be for my Xbox.
