MW2 PC: 162 one-star reviews, 352 "boycott MW2" servers

comp_ali · Oct 25, 2009, 05:16 PM

The Modern Warfare 2 PC boycott really is picking up steam with lots of terrible pre-release reviews and server owners making their selves known.

Following Infinity Ward's announcement that the PC version of Modern Warfare 2 would not be supporting dedicated services, a first for Call of Duty, the PC community has shown their displeasure en masse.

Amazon.co.uk delete all reviews about Modern Warfare 2

People are crazy they write reviews about a game that isn't out yet

Yeah, I am sure that after release the people will be pleased....lol

Yeah like L4D2 boycott , at the end Pre-order sales for L4D2 was 300% L4D1.

That's not what I mean, although you are probably right.

They should boycott the PC version, no dedicated servers effectively makes the game totally useless online. I'm sure the single player campaign will be awesome but 2 years from now that won't matter...the online component is what keeps a game alive.

I just don't get what was wrong with CoD4 dedicated servers, they had got onto a working system, so why change it now

It doesn't make a lot of sense does it .

I would like to hear someone from Infinity explain the reasoning behind this move.
