Infinity Ward have announced the COD:MW2 will be released without support for dedicated servers and mods.
Online multiplayer gaming for PC will use IW.net. A system reported to be similar to the one used in the PS3 and XBox360 consoles. This will in all likelyhood prevent modding, ensure only small numbers of players in maps, prevent people joining servers they like with people they know, create latency issues between players. Competitive gaming will be weak or non existent in such a system.
The PC community has reacted to this news with outrage. MW2 Pre-orders are being cancelled, clans are boycotting the release and an online petition asking IW to reconsider has over 80000 signatures after only 2 days. What are your thoughts? Will you still get the game?
