IW dropped the ball, this is the time for another developer to step up to the plate and hit a homerun, this is a time where PC gamers want an exclusive with felxibility, lets see if anyone can step up.
Every one is watching DICEQuote:

IW, dont even think Im playin, here it is shove it.
:shakes: I can't understand people doing that. In the end, it's just a game, no matter how disappointing this decision might be. Vote with your wallets, maybe they'll notice.Quote:

If you just HAVE to play the SP campaign, maybe wait a few weeks? I want them to feel something on the bottom line for this slap in the face. *shrug*
yeah that's not right to wish him death.
That is one brilliant blog post :up:Quote:

From whats been said, and the podcasts on BashandSlash, it seems like its going to be P2P not hosted servers for private matches...Quote:

I don't think this is IW's fault. I think it's activision.
Thats who I blame.
I don't care who's fault it is, they will not be getting my $$$.Quote:

Very well said indeed!Quote:

I want to choose every aspect of my server, matchmaking will never, ever cut it for me.
Exactly. I am not going to be forcing myself to not buy the game just to prove a point. I genuinely do not want the game now due to butchered MP.Quote:

IW responds to Modern Warfare 2 server snafu
Author: Joe Martin
Published: 21st October 2009
Infinity Ward has responded to fans who have begun petitioning the developer in protest against the new IWNet matchmaking system announced for Modern Warfare 2, which removes support for clan matches and dedicated servers.
Infinity Ward's comments come in a confusingly aggressive article that stand firmly alongside the developer; "This may shock some gamers with advanced persecution complexes -- this move was not made to tweak the noses of the PC community," writes GI's Adam Biessener.
An online petition against Infinity Ward's lack of support for dedicated servers and the roll out of IWNet has gathered more than 100,000 signatures since the system was first announced on Monday.
"We're just prioritizing the player experience above the modders and the tuners," said Infinity Ward's Jason West, who says the team got a huge amount of feedback from players who said they couldn't find good servers to play the original Modern Warfare on because of modders, skill disparities and cheaters.
"We thought maybe it would be cool if the fans could play the game," laughed West.
Infinity Ward stands by the idea that IWNet will offer the best experience for the majority of gamers and says that this, not piracy fears, were the main reason for the changes

Not meaning to sound like I am thread crapping or being a troll, but correct me if I am wrong... ISN'T THE PC PLATFORM SUPPOSED TO BE THE HOME FOR FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS?!?!?!
SURELY WE (PC GAMERS) SHOULD HAVE FPS GAMES CODED FOR OUR PLATFORM BEFORE THEY ARE TONED DOWN/CONSOLISED FOR OTHER PLATFORMS AS THE PC IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN THE PREMIER PLATFORM FOR THE FIRST PERSON SHOOTER!!!!
Dedicated Servers, and a Server Browser for Game Type, Ping, location, etc SHOULD ALWAYS be part and parcel of any PC Game which has a multiplayer facility and don't get me started on how it is an absolute MUST for FPS based games.
Shame on Activision and Infinity Ward.

IWNet is P2P gaming where games are run from a players PC, this is from 2 different IW staff members who posted on the forum.
Maximum of 16 players and the host server is chosen by assessing the machine specs and connections of the various players are online. This alone essentially makes a mockery of the whole casual gamer statement as its the hardcore players who generally have the better rigs and connections and are going to get the zero ping from being the host.
So instead of making it a better experience from the casual gamer you are going to give the person with the best setup the best performance.
Basically if you live next to your exchange you are sorted. Otherwise you are out of luck
