You summed that up amazingly. I can't believe the boys at Infinity Ward would spit in our faces like this. It's such a blatant move backward. Passing on this, giving Dragon Age Origins a go instead.
 
I Think the main problem with MW2 has come from the merger between Blizzard and Activision. Blizzard are well known for tying their games up as much as possible in order to milk their customers to the maximum, the influences can be seen right through this game.

The so called IW.net for gaming, the removal of Console and the failure to provide an SDK, the removal of dedicated servers. The release is just a stepping stone to the true aims that Blizzard have, to charge a monthly subscription to play the games online. MW3 will be subscription based I am sure of it, they are taking the WoW model and trying to apply it to all major gaming franchises they have now.

How far will it go? I wouldn't surprise me to see them charging $10 a month to play online, then the additional costs, want a silencer for that MP5 that will be $15 please, you already see it now in WoW all the extra charges for additional content, as if charging so much for a monthly subscription wasn't bad enough

It wont happen with this game, this is just the test run, but it is the future Blizzaed see for gaming as a whole.

I know me and all my clan mates are refusing to buy this game, the back lash has been huge, whether or not everyone sticks to it and continues to not buy is another matter though. I do hope so, but we will see
 
Gee...

No dedicated servers for PC.
No mod tools for PC.
P2P type online gaming for PC.
Only 9v9 player MAX for PC.
No lean function for PC.

And that is just the tip of the iceberg. Their response is always the same.. when asked why they did this? They say "It balances the game", but they never elaborate on how it balances the game . In my mind, that is the same as saying "no comment". How does no lean function "balance the game" ? If everyone has it, then that is balanced.

They just can't admit that they ported it directly from the consoles and were to lazy to add in all the things that PC players expect.. especially from a $60 title.

Then they have transcripts of the CEO of Activision basically saying he wants to milk as much money out of the gaming community as possible. So for those who think there is going to be free DLC.. forget about it, your going to be charged.

For these reasons, and many more, they will not get my money.. I will spend it on other games.
