So guys... what happens to the multiplayer once IW decides to stop/drop their support for it without the inclusion of dedicated server support.

The same thing that happens when multiplayer servers are dropped on console games: nothing.

By that I mean everyone whines a bit and then moves on.
In my opinion, it is OKAY for IW to make use pay the extra money and DLC because honetly, it is worth it. I highly doubt it will set the stage for future titles... If any old average game is released for $60 on the PC and you have to pay for the DLC, it will fail hard.
Now, the crappy games will cost less and the good games will cost more. Finally!
I don't believe that shit...it's the same lie as the "Delayed for PC" thing.
Well, looks like I won't be getting MW2 now unless the story is shit-your-pants incredible.
Well. They'll come to their senses once they realize how their money goes down.
I guess.
It wasn't even very high on my list in the first place but I was still planning on getting it, not now though.

People will still play it, but it won't be that fun to see a bunch of people jumping around because of the massive lag.
1) IW has control of the game - What's new?
2) IWnet servers will host multiplayer - Why not just use valve's servers if you're integrating it to steam?
3) DLC will be a charged item for PC - Big whoop, don't buy it then.
4) No dedicated servers - See 2.
5) Matchmaking system used to play with similarly ranked players - /care
6) VAC instead of PB - This is [B]good.[/B]
7) Semi-capable password servers - I don't quite
8) Semi-capable ad-hoc servers - understand these two.
9) Competitive play is dead - Cry me a river.
10) MW2 mods would not be possible - Mods never got off the ground in MW1 anyway.
11) Full integration into Steam - this is also good.
Holy shit, the IW forums just exploded, a thirty page thread within about an hour.
man this is starting to get as good as the halo meltdown in tf2.
I see this as a whole plus, will the steam server browser work with this?
Also, yay on the servers with fake players.

So can MW2 only be played through steam?
The article hasn't loaded yet, but who cares it's just a shitty fps.

Oh, looks like valve is gonna make money.
This is total fucking bullshit. Lets all send mass hate mail to IW and see there response.
DeAr Iw: youar faggots please die
PS: Could you please add the follow features to the game from this list?
Activision are the new EA, while everyone got pissed at them Activision got some fucked up ideas. I don't know if it's right to blame IW solely because Activision just want to get as much $ out of everything, when Brutal Legend was left with Activision, they wanted to turn it into a Guitar Hero game against what the developers were doing.
I'll buy it on the 360 to play with my friends, Activision won't care what happens with the PC version because they know very well that the big money is on the consoles, sucks to be a PC Gamer.

At least us PC gamers have the best studio in the industry behind us - Valve.
[QUOTE=solid_jake;17886287]One thing came to mind.

Who's with me we might get something out of it.[/QUOTE][url=http://steamcommunity.com/groups/MW2-Boycott]Been done already[/url]
[QUOTE=Kilr;17887467]At least us PC gamers have the best studio in the industry behind us - Valve.[/QUOTE]They are too multiplayer focused now for my liking, EP2 was fine if you wanted story, but gameplay?

Also been done in the IW forums themselves: [url]http://www.infinityward.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=121918[/url]
Jesus fucking bullshit.
Well PC MP is dead on this basically.
how dare they?
sending an angry email RIGHT FUCKING NOW!
ACTIVISION NEEDS TO STEP IN NOW :argh:
'Oh we always wanted to develop for consoles ha fucking ha'
Fuck you IW, you didn't need to be such assholes about it. Although steam integration doesn't seem so bad.
Hm, wouldn't a rage letter to Activision be more efficient?
[QUOTE=Novangel;17887645]Jesus fucking bullshit.

Is this really going to kill the pc mp? I hope it doeswn't I don't want to get the console version :ohdear:
Hmmm. Can't wait for it to be released and become the next Spore.
I don't know about YOU guys, but when I played CoD4 I just played to have fun, get higher ranks and new guns, eventually get prestige. As long as IW has enough servers to accommodate all the players (I have no doubt they do, why else would they have all these limited editions of the game, price it $10 more, hype it up so much if they thought nobody was going to play it?), then I really have no beef with them.
Since this is getting full integration with Steam, I'm guessing that we can hit the "join game" on our friends to play with them.
Well the VAC part is better, PB fucking sucks.
