would like to say a big thank you to the axe for being one of the only sites writing about this situation and not being condescending to the PC community. much love to you guys for that

personally i think there is dedicated server support but, and here is where it gets F*cked up, you have to rent the servers from IW. if you look back on some other PC games that have tried the matchmaking thing this was the only way to get legit server support. as you can guess it didnt work all too well for them either

They don’t bother bringing MW3 to PC, they don’t get paid. Don’t forget, they need us to buy games to stay in business, we don’t need them to put out games to stay alive.

And just to point out how stupid your defense for their crappy new server browser is, they can never stop anyone from playing COD1-5, whereas with MW2 they could just turn IW.net off and you own a $60 coaster.

This is a bullshit move, and they know it, but greed is king. No more free maps, pay us for maps. No more free mods, pay us for mods.

beema: Well that’s some solid BS. I’ve actually been trying to decide which MW to buy for the multiplayer experience.Now that I’ve read this I will probably just buy MW1 and bittorrent MW2 for the solo campaign.Smooth move Activision, hope you rot in hell.

Good to see you won't be playing MW3 when they won't even bother bringing it to the PC.

ChuckNorris7777: And this is why pc sales are wayyyyyyyy down!

Yeah, because PC gamers have a temper and they don't like if someone is screwing them. And naturally developers migrate to consoles, they are more casual gamers there and they don't care how fuck'd up they'll be.

I for one will not be buying this game for most of the reason listed above, and for the fact that in recent years activision has become some real assholes. I have been playing COD games since the first was released on PC, own all of the other entries of the series on PC and consoles and this will be the first COD game i will not buy. Thank you activision for destroying a great franchise with your arrogance and stupidity. Infinity ward deserves a better publisher, the day they find a new publisher is the day i start to buy their games again.

I see this turning into another spore situation. Where the pissed of PC gamers pirate it out of spite. Naturally evil Activision will just turn around and say, “Told ya so”, but such is the irony of the internet.

I wonder what the reaction will be to the new gameplay footage that was leaked earlier today.
