They aren't even making a bad console port, they've made an alright game and then smacked it around enough to make it into the equivilent of a bad console port, but without even the shit excuses.
This needs a physical boycott of some form, like strange men handing out leaflets in front of game shops.

So you're saying every company in steam set eu prices to be the same as us are? I mean, 1:1 conversion rate.

Well, in the UK most games on Steam are almost the right price. MW2 is £34.99 on Steam, which is £2 less than if you converted straight from $60 USD. But yes, publishers set the prices, not Steam.

I really doubt that every single game publisher on steam has never heard of exchange rates.

Pretty much everything in Europe/the UK costs more than it does in the US. Why is this a new thing to you?

One thing is making it more expensive for europe and another thing is just changing the $ into € without any other changes.
I'd play it if there were no brits in it.
Still gonna buy it, albeit very pissed.

That's just bullshit. You don't fucking plan DLC that far in advance.[/QUOTE]
Rockstar planned the two episodes in advance and they worked out really well. But then again they have tons of content in them while these are just maps.

Yeah I'm okay with those, they're more like expansion packs. These are just blatant money grabbing schemes that, with matchmaking, they'll force you to buy if you want to play online.
Should I buy this for PC or 360? The thing is, all my friends are console gamers and they'll be playing this on 360, but my PC is more than capable of running this.

On box. There's no use buying it for pc if it's exactly the same as console game.

Buy it on the 360 and you'll give [i]them[/i] a sale. Buy it on the PC and they'll assume you're be OK with all the shit they're doing to it.
Don't buy it.

Except the better control system, graphics, and general community camaraderie, no.
Come on, have a little loyalty.
Definitely skippin' school to pick this up and play this all day.

Pretty much all that is lost/useless in mw2

What's everybody bitching about?

Oh PC-bros... tisk tisk tisk.
Stop being such whiny bitches.

Well everyone who is complaining has a right but still. I personaly feel that everything has been blown out of proportion.
This thread is a huge shit storm of hate directed at console players.
I for one think the various PC problems are indefensible, but I could care less because I've always viewed Call of Duty as a couch game like Halo and Gears of War anyway, and the community doesn't matter on deathmatch games anyway.
$59.99?
What the fuck?
Not buying this game that's for sure.
[QUOTE=Amez;17985492]Not buying this game that's for sure.[/QUOTE]
Me neither. I bet it won't even be worth getting the warez version.
60€! that's $90!

i am going to assume your first COD was 4 then
IW really fucked this up. Had they just stuck to the original formula, like they did with MW1, they would've been fine.
[QUOTE=Angua;17986345]60€! that's $90![/QUOTE]
All games here are €60 since 2004 or so. It doesn't mean you guys have to pay $90
