Because support for a game that alienates PC gamers can lead to other companies doing the same thing down the road. It is a slippery slope when the world's largest games publisher decides to quit catering to the customer base that made it what it is today.

Whatever happened to people standing up for things they believe in? That used to be a quality people admired, now it seems to be something that many people think is bad.

The main difference is i was talking about the topic of the thread. You were just insulting forum members. (aka trolling)

Exactly.

* No record feature in MW2 for PC.

This may already have been beaten to death... but you clearly have no idea. This ruins competitive play (even more so than they have with other 'features') because nobody can possibly play well and run Fraps at the same time. Say goodbye to any half-decent frag videos, replays, and also kiss goodbye learning from demo's.

If you think you can Fraps without if affecting you play, you aren't very good at the game. I wouldn't even attempt to Fraps @ 640x480 and play a competitive game - it introduces delay. This is only one of many reasons behind in-game demo recording.

I'm primarly a console gamer, so I really didnt give much thought to how these changes could effect future games for the pc. I see what your saying, but as you stated earlier the game hasnt even been released yet. So me implying that everyone will buy it is just as bad as people bashing IW for making changes which they haven't had a chance to test and develop thier own opinion.

Not really insulting you just that chart that was posted. Which again was insulting features/changes or the lack there of that have yet to be tested.

The preorders are insane through GameStop alone, never mind other venues. This will be a massively huge money maker. It will set a precedent: This is how to make a game.

It doesn't matter if there's a backlash from the PC gamers, or relatively low sales. They'll cite piracy numbers and claim they were proven right not to have things like dedicated servers, and people will believe them. Never mind the fact that they removed core components of a $40-50 PC game and are charging $60.

Look... I don't NEED to play MW2 to form an opinion about matchmaking. I've played PLENTY of matchmaking. And for FPS in particular, *IT SUCKS*. I hate it. They have not offered ANY claims or evidence that they are doing ANYTHING to revolutionize/improve matchmaking over what's already there. So why should I reserve judgment on that when I already know what's there?

I like your first analogy better:


Like I mentioned earlier, I'm not going to pay $60 to test-drive a video game, while being unable to return/resale it.

launch trailer
the music choice is...indicative of who they market the game towards I guess.

It wasn't working apparently so I had to dumb it down a little.

None, really, but still, it feels like IW is treating the enthusiast PC like an overpriced Xbox 360 with m/k support and slightly better graphics.
