Infinity Ward Making MMO Instead of CoD: MW3?

after the big flop that was MW2 for PC I think this would be a little better.
But again, there could always get worse, too, a success like MW1 did not forecast the failure of MW2. I will take any predictions with a grain of salt.
I am talking PC gamers here; console fans can draw their own conclusions...
 
whoot pc can finally strike back. although how would they make a MMO based on army characters. if tis like WoW but with guns, that wuld be interesting....
 
I've been a COD fan since the original (for the PC only, consoles are s*it) and I don't own MW2. The idiotic cuts (no dedicated servers, no lean, etc.) and the outrageously high price (59.99) stopped me from getting it. I'll eventually buy it when it hits the bargain bin a year from now but Infinity Ward really shot themselves in the foot this time with regard to the PC version. Hope targeting the lowest common denominator (uneducated console users) was worth it.

MMO sell best on PCs not on consoles. Since IW has made it clear that they like consoles>PC, we will prob get another Xbox port. They will prob take out some more features from the PC like Keyboard and mouse support. Because they game was not balanced for them.
 
Activision and Infinity Ward can both kiss my arse, plenty of other games for my PC besides what they decide I can have, let them eat cake mentality with COD MW2 for the PC revealed what they thought of PC gamers.

flop? why does everyone on toms hate mw2? it's an awesome game, with an awesome multiplayer, and if i didn't know that there are no more dedicated servers, i wouldn't even have noticed it. and why is "no lean" such a deal breaker? atleast you can see campers straight away.. and if you really want to camp, just crouch in a bush and voila, camping galore.

Sorry for sounding a bit rude.. everyone is entitled to have an opinion, which i'm not taking away, i just don't get it.
 
People need to stop bitchong about MW2 for PC. "IW doesn't care for PC gamers and MW:2 is just a cheap xbox 360 port" Yeah that is why it is so well optimized for all sorts of PC hardware, yep just a port.

"IW hates PC gamers because they took out lean!" Oh I thought that was just to make the game more balanced and make camping harder, but WTF do I know.

"No dedicated servers means IW hates PC gamers!" Well I've been playing MW2 on the PC and, lo and behold, with my crappy 3mb/s internet I've only been in one match that truly lagged... But no IW is just out to get us, its not that they don't have anyone paying for the servers like Sony and Microsoft for PSN and Xbox live... Seriously stop bitching about FREE multiplayer.

"IT COSTS 59.99 NOT 49.99, HOW DARE YOU IW?!" OMG, $10 more! Your right IW hates PC gamers and didn't even make the "crappy port" to the PC, it was the gnomes! But seriously, IW IS owned by Activision, so of course they upped the price a bit for a game that was sure to sell very well.

Now if you want to start bitching about how unbalanced the knife is and how the kill streaks are a bit too strong then that is perfectly acceptable and justifiable.

I'm sorry you are getting so much hate from some console players but I'm a PC gamer and completely agree with you. After what a flop MW2 was for PC, I really don't expect much from Infinity Ward, honestly, they can kiss my ass. I'm not buying anymore games from them.
 
I play COD MW2 daily on pc runs great looks great and is alot of fun not sure why the pc world is up in arms over it. Pretty sure it isnt a flop either. I realize no dedicated servers etc but overall really not a big deal I think overall people like to find something to bitch about rather then enjoy something for how good it is.
 
You all are a bunch of retards. If they said they aren't working on modern warfare 3, but something "different", it's not going to be an MMO. With the reputation and amount of money they make, it will be a shooter of some sort.

"Different" refers to "not named modern warfare"
 
everyone calls MW2 on the PC a flop and thats just not true. It was the most pirated game of the year. I call that success
 
As they did with MW2, the played off the success of the previous title, rather than make a new game that earned it's money all by itself. They seek the least investment for the biggest gain, simply put, hence the exclusion of Dedi servers and other important PC features. The same goes for an MMO, you make the original game, and you make a update pack every once in a while to keep your addicts happy. With an MMO you rake in millions a month from subscriptions, which only increase in number, where as sales for a standard game may dwindle. This is their way of making EVEN MORE money.

As a side note, was MW2 a bad game? Not really, I've enjoyed the MP, and the SP was pretty epic. However, they really should not have crossed PC gamers the way they did.
 
Yeah that is right just mark down my post, you can't argue with it but you can mark it down.

Grow up kiddies.

That means no one wanted to buy it at full price! Have you played the MP in MW2? There are LESS classes than in its predecessors. I find it frustrating to have such little selection at times.

To me, MW2 is:
Cool COD4 characters
Upgraded graphics
Similar missions that are fun

MINUS:
Good controls
A few classes
Mod support?
Dedicated Servers

I've only played the game on Xbox 360, but I've played COD4 and COD5 on the PC and the Xbox 360, and the 360 version of MW2, is a DOWNGRADE from all of those things.
