    Who saw this coming? I mean really. Just a lot of empty steam, like on all issues with a bandwagon involved.

    It's so epic it needs to be. The days before the release this board was polluted by people against the game.

    Now it's about to be turned around (yes the game against the people :O).

    This is why you can't take the Internet seriously.

    Seriously, the developers made the AT4 and Javelin as anti-aircraft launchers? I mean the 1st Modern Warfare had its lack of authenticity with facts of realism and that's fine to some degree for an arcade game, but completely ignoring something as simple as light/heavy anti-tank as anti-air and selling the idea to people is just lame. Why even call it M136/AT4, why not just create a completely imaginary anti-aircraft shoulder-launched weapon all together?

    lol. MW2 is one of the best PC games this year, regardless of features left off.

    surely you guys didn't think a protest would have real legs.

    play more games, people. complain about things you can't control less. I guarantee you'll have more fun.

    From what I have seen in the reviews the game has become overly complicated and features a poorly written story.

    I've been playing with dedicated servers for a long time now, and I'm not about to start playing with matchmaking now. PC is not a console.

    I remember a long time ago on some other forums, someone said:
    "PC = poor man's console"

    I laughed hard after hearing that.

    People are basing the success of this game on how many copies it sells? I forget I'm in America where Britney Spears and yo yo's became cool sheerly on how many of the product they could sell....Seriously it's a great game I have it for ps3 with my friend but we are entering a new age of dumbing down gameplay and as surf rightly said, we "1%" of competitive gamers are becoming irrelevant. So much to higher gameplay, the era of TFC, CS 1.6 and Q3A and its high learning curves are probably long gone and never to return, oh well.

    Maybe they're fans of the Stargate series. They used AT as AA in it too.
