they arent gonna do jack shit, look how many pplz is doing it

They don't want to worry about PC gamers like me pirating it. I refuse to buy/play this game.

lol the warranty is useless anyway because it expires in 1 year and then a few month after you get a red ring of death and buy anotherone anyways

Sucks to own a 360 as usual. I was worried they might crack down on PC pirating. Never mind ^_^

and which system came out first? Not PC, Not PS3(cause it hasn't been hacked), but wait @_@ the holy xbox360 that is always said to be less pirated the PC..

Easy enough option, just don't play it. If they want to be big a$$holes about people pirating a game that is going to sell millions upon millions of $ worth then they can keep it. Especially since today I read M$ just fired another 800 people whilst Windows 7 Ultimate literally flies off of the shelves. Anyone see a common theme here? Greed

hrmm...is it perverse that seeing this article makes me want to go out and download the torrent just to see what the game is like? It seems at this point like Activision has no plans to offer ANYTHING promotional like a demo to get people to buy the game, but rather they increase the price by $10? I WON'T pay $60 for a PC game, just on principle, but I MIGHT have bought it on a Fry's day 1 sale if they weren't being such money-grubbing jerks about the whole thing.

i won't buy this game.to bad they did the lame server thing just to bad for them.

Given Infinity Wards stubborn and backwards attitude to LAN support this is somewhat fitting punishment.

How hard could it really be to allow dedicated servers? I thought COD5 Sucked anyway. This looks awesome but I can do without

pirating games is one thing but expecting to get the whole experience (playing online with pirated games) is just pure greedyness on the pirates parts. I myself understand this thus buy those games that I want to play multiplayer on and pirate those games where I only want to experience half of the game (the single player component)

250 for fixing yrod would be stupid.... the ps3 no sells for $299.

To be the devils advocate to all of the pirating sympathizers... If everybody pirates the game, there will be no more games. People make games because they profit from selling the games. If they don't profit from selling the games, than what would be the point of making them?

and then for the people actually buying games... why are they $55-60? Because your $40 game is being taxed $15-20 to try to recover money from the pirates.

Given that they rarely ban cheaters / glitchers.
Without dedicated servers there isn't really any way to detect cheating anyhow...
Everything will be the same as it has been..
Even if you report someone it really doesn't do much more than make you feel empty inside for being cheated by both the modders & MS.

Manos, you're a moron. I've gotten the yellow light of death, and sony replaced the console free of charge because it was within the warranty. So how's it like to be a hypocrite by calling someone ignorant?

It's nuts to pirate a game and expect to play it freely online. Playing a pirated copy offline is another thing.

This is why you always use abgx360 and make sure your games are properly stealthed and meet the appropriate Wave compliance. Dont play it while logged in to any live account either silver or gold until after the game is released.

If you follow this information their is no way MS can bann you.

I bet the crackers will figure out a way of adding LAN support so that the pirate version will actually be better than the official for some users.

"While Modern Warfare 2 sits poised and ready for its November 10 release, some retailers have already acquired and sold copies of the Xbox and PC versions thanks to a sneaky leak."

The PC version is NOT on the internet yet. Stop slandering PC users as all pirates. This time its all Xbox people.

i love how they make the threat "modifying their Xbox 360 to play pirated games will void their warranty" who cares?! xD and pirating his been around for awhile how is this stuff still news...

They better expect the PC pirating numbers will be much higher then with CoD 4 1. Why should PC gamers pay 60 dollars for a game without dedicated servers? Seriously, MP is the only reason to play that game. And it already sucks enough compared to battlefield and other team based games.

But then they go and remove the things that made online PC gaming so much better then console? LOL.

Microsoft itself is unable to make a reliable console... I find it ironic they claim that pirated 360 are going to break down more easily.

As for Activision, with their recent anti-PC behavior, I refuse to pay for their games. By the way, Modern Warfare was already a boring game and I don't expect anything spectacular for the second opus. Run, shoot, taking hits, corner getting red, sitting down in a corner to recover bullet shots...

Seriously... why is Valve Counter-Strike Source still is the best FPS experience on the market after 5 years?

it seems to me that most every one on here is a stupid moron who has and can get every thing they want. u all sound like spoiled idiots

Good. Dont pirate. It's stealing. Fuckers.

if any of you have pirated/beaten the game...
omg wow so much hype the story blows butthole i was expecting to play for at least a week but i ended up beating the game in 2hrs
