Dont get me wrong, I love modern warfare 2. I like to think im not completly hopeless at the multiplayer either. Living in Australia however has forced me to only play this game online if I can find an Australian based server (which is rare). 
 
Nothing makes me crazier than shooting at someone, having them kill me, then watching the kill cam only to see that I never actually fired a bullet.   
Or stabbing someone, then seeing that I never actually pulled out my knife and only ran into the person in hope of head butting them to death. 
 
Fuck that, dont punish me for living in Australia. Why would you REMOVE local search, I just dont understand, Is Infinity Ward too proud to say that it was a good idea?
