No Dedicated servers or Mods for PC version of Modern Warefare 2

Embrace the suck.
Call of Duty community manager Rob Bowling, also known as 'fourzerotwo', has confirmed in a podcast that the PC version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will not support user-created mods. Worse, it will not support dedicated servers. PC gamers will have to suffer peer-to-peer connections, just like their console-owning cousins.

Mr. Bowling could offer no defence for this move, and simply stated that: "The team's focusing on having it very equal on every platform" and "We're doing a lot of work on the back end."

Previous PC versions of CoD have supported dedicated servers. Their absence will apparently make the game "much more accessible to the PC community as a whole."

You can listen to the podcast here; skip forward to around the 1:41 mark for the awful truth...

This has been posted. A lot.

But I don't get how it's "much more accessible to the PC community as a whole.", who couldn't figure out how to:

Press find servers
Wait for it to refresh
Find server, press join game

Is it really that hard?

They are honestly stupid if they think it will make things "more accessible to the PC community as a whole".

As the saying goes: Don't fix what ain't broke.

I think maybe they got a bit too excited from totally reworking CoD4.

"Lucky" for you guys. Lucky for me, i'm not touching this shit.

Er, this is wrong, IW.net are providing decided servers, therefore most of it will not be peer-to-peer. You just cannot host third party dedicated servers

Well to me this looks like a PORT! Making the game for a Console then Porting it on PC.
