Hot!

Too bad they raped the PC version, I rented the 360 version and it is quite good, plays like Battlefield (no vehicles and smaller maps) with COD controls. 32vs32 would have been epic.

Too bad they released the PS3 version with buggy as hell "match making." You can't join an invitation from your friend so you get to play alone online. Boring. They are supposed to patch this tomorrow but it's pretty pathetic that something this awful wasn't caught in testing.

Also, the invite system on the PS3 is god-awful. It's like 6 steps just to invite someone and it sucks even more because as of right now inviting someone is pointless.

The 360 version doesn't appear to have either of these problems for me. And people wonder why I would love to pay for Xbox Live on the Playstation instead of the PSN.

Could have sold more if they didnt treat PC players so poorly. I am even over the fact that they removed dedi servers, they could have handled the whole situation better from a PR standpoint. As great as this game probably is, I am not going to buy/play it. If ActiWard made a statement apologizing (which will most likely never happen) about how they dropped the ball on how they approached the PC changes and community, then I would probably get it. No dedi sucks, 18 player max sucks, but you know if the style of the game suits it, then whatever. After playing L4D the last week, the smaller groups and random groups (i have been just auto-joining) at times is a more intimate gaming experience. Massive 32 player warfare may just be a thing of the past for CoD for better or worse.

Ah well, its all speculation since I still havent played it. And possibly never will.

Everyone I know is talking about it.

to bad that more folks didnot boycott this game.now if they do sell lots it shows you can get the public to buy anything so the next one will be even more crippled than before.

They would've had my 60 bucks, but nah not anymore. They can keep their console port.

I still need to pick up the first Modern Warfare. Everyone knew this game would be huge because everyone loved CoD4, myself included. I would be happy to play CoD1 + UO on my PC. Yet another must play FPS.

Still will never see my PC

How does this compare to the sales of MW1?

Since COD4 was so amazing it was obvious that whether the game was good or bad it was guaranteed to sell well on the first day on consoles.

Was going to buy it on PC..was even considering buying it after they droped the dedi's but Like someone else said..They way they treated us and handled the boycots and what not made me not buy it.To me it shows they dont care about us so obviously they dont care about my money so I wont give it to them.

Who seriously didn't expect this? Only the hardcore PC gamers actually "boycotted" the game, everyone else is still buying it so the cancelled pre-orders was nothing but a minor irritation for Activision. It's a CoD game, it will sell even if it's a polished turd.

I will say, the SP Campaign is great, and the "Spec Ops" missions are very entertaining. However I will not buy it until it is about 1/2 price on ebay. I have a torrented copy for now. But I will buy it when it hits half price new on ebay, they half ass it, they'll get half pay for it. But I have heard the the matchmaking on PC actually works, but I've also heard it's laggy on all consoles and PC, IWnet = not godlike? Hmmm....

And as an additive to my previous post; I will agree, they handled the PR for this release in a dreadful manner. All they could say was "yes, we know there's a petition...what about it?" No acts to please them, not public answer as to the reasoning, just sidesteping questions with skewed answers. That pushed me over the edge, I was still considering buying it after the no dedicated's, but that killed me for the time being.

I really hope they eventually patch the pc version to include more than 18 players max in an online session, and a non p2p network, my school blocks p2p traffic...

It's because any Joe smo can get a console and it's obvious that's where they will make their profits. Us grown folks who spend thousands of dollars keeping our PCs in top form are in the minority and they won't miss us not picking up the PC version. They won't be getting my $60 but I will spend it on better games with more support for us high end PC folks. LFD2 is out tuesday and Bad Company 2 for PC will own this all day come March 2nd!

It would be interesting to see what the breakdown of the sales for each platform is.

BOO!!!

dam no boycott...

I'm only interested in the single player (obviously) is the campaign shorter than the first one?

I bought the game and i have no complaints... the matching system seems to work great, about the no dedicated servers i've only got like 2 bad servers where i lagged, but that was just after a server change mid game... overall the games great, you can boicot, but thats just the more you miss out on lol

Shut up about the PC multiplayer already.. Its getting old. Start complaining about death and taxes, see what happens.

In other news, MW2 is the last CoD to launch on PC...

Just wait, it'll happen

I bought the game, and i do not mind it. I would prefer dedicated servers and more players, but as long as the host does not leave the server, gameplay can be pretty smooth.

But in 2 games, the game became very laggy and i could not leave because i didnt want to add a "loss" to my win streak.

Torrenting is not as popular it seems

Yeah, consoles are also slowing the evolution of games, I hate it. :-(

This is evil. Especially that bs about the donating to veterans charities mess. Looks like most people are just dumb, docile consumers afterall. The only hope we have left against this crap is some kind of soccer mom outrage about the controversial scenes that little billy has to watch everytime he plays the game on the family tv.

BTW... if pc users are in the minority then at some point, if pc users are pushed too far they may simply stop using their pcs for high end gaming and suddenly atvidia will get all upset about that as well as intel and amd.
