Sure these things are just fine for consoles, but PC gamers have always had better, and there's no good reason why it should be taken away and something sub-par shoved down our throats.

The PC gaming community is built upon things like dedi servers and modding(take a look @ MW1 and CoD2, or any online PC FPS), without it you're violating the crowed you've targeted.

That's why they've ruined it, and on top of that, they're just being arsehats, lol.

Click below to show/hide Hidden Text Below!

Basically what happens is, you rescue Captain Price from prison after the Russians invade the US after the whole airport incident where the terrorist Markarov leads the undercover CIA American dead to take the blame for the whole thing. So, after rescuing Price from prison - you're in Washington DC fighting as one of the US Rangers. After clearing out the White House, you crash land in a Black Hawk and are fighting with your last clip of ammo. Just as you run out, a helicopter and a ton of Russians are rushing you, but it fades back to 'Roach' who is with Captain Price, Soap, and Ghost. You're invading this base where there is a submarine that has these 'nuclear missles'. Just before the sub is about to leave, Captain Price jumps in and takes it over. But as your defending the sub, a nuclear missle fires. Soap is yelling "WHAT IS GOING ON PRICE?!!! THE MISSLE FIRED!!!"
You hear Price saying "Good." as it fades out back to the US Ranger.

You replay the scene with the US Ranger in Washington DC with his last ammo clip, and suddenly a bright light appears. Suddenly, you're in outerspace as this astronaut who is looking at the earth. Then you see the missile as it closes in on the east coast of the US, and detonates. A satellite near you explodes and crashes into the astronaut, and you fade back into the US Ranger who is fighting.

Ends up, it was a massive EMP missile.

The $10 price hike does chap my ass concidering it's not like they have to pay developer rights for a PC like they do for the consoles. I hope this doesn't turn into a trend for future PC releases from other developers.

Thiiiiis.
There wasn't any legitimate reason to jack up the price by $10, especially if they're jipping everything else.
