I won't be getting the PC version because of this...I've played countless hours of COD4 on the PC, and their server browser is far from perfect. But it still allows for similar flexibility that you can find in most every PC multiplayer game. I like to be able to:Â
Â
-Play on the same server, with the same people.Â
-Join a server that either plays maps I like, or plays a rotation of maps that is a nice variety.Â
-Join a server that has good ping ALL of the time.Â
-Expect that there are either no hackers, or admins to keep the hackers at bay.Â
-Occasionally try out some user created mods.
Â
The list goes on. Basically it comes down to that IW is taking away a lot of what makes the PC version DIFFERENT from the console version. There is a place for matchmaking, and I'm not saying that IWNET isn't going to be one of the better matchmaking systems to come along. I am saying that the PC community just doesn't work as well with a matchmaking system. It takes away a lot of the freedom and identity of what makes it a PC game.Â
Â
I'm still going to buy the game, and I've actually got more friends who play on console anyhow. But playing on PC makes for some great times, being able to use the far more accurate and precise control method of keyboard and mouse. I feel I'm always going to be a PC gamer at heart because that's how I feel most comfortable playing (shooters).Â
Â
And for all the people that are saying this isn't a big deal...it is.
