Dedicated server people are only a small percentage of people. Will not affect their overall sales.

EVERY one of my friends who I have mentioned this to didn't know about the dedi server thing and have since canceled their pre-orders. I think the only thing that is going to keep decent PC sales is the fact that most people don't know about this.

Am I wrong that I think matchmaking will make the experience better in such a pop-in and play game?

Even my console friends, who are a bit simple, know the difference between Peer2Peer and Dedicated servers, and have cancelled their preorders, and some are proper MLG COD4 whores too.

I think they need to remake their Public Relations department because the entire No Dedicated Server "announcement" and the following "response" thereafter was handled about as well as a newborn cradling fine china.

Have they even bothered to respond to the concerns of PC Gamers regarding this new system? Outside of their sales pitch of how awesome it'll be that is.

They took out features and added more to the price tag.....awesome...

edit
when they didnt allow mods, that also means that there is no custom maps right.....??
because if it is, then...wow.....talk about milking Downloadable content.....
