kudos to that, i find this whole 'outbreak' repulsive, my email has been going crazy because of the server admin community releasing their feelings.. what are they thinking? i know that the sales for the PC version are going to be nothing compared to the consoles. the console "community" isnt going to care about this, in fact they are probally stoked to hear about this new IW.NET feature that will most likely improve the god-forsaken excuse for server browsing.
when i join a server i dont want to be paired with 'likely candidates' i want to play with my clan and more importantly my friends. the whole purpose of having PC games is to be able to mod them, create custom maps, and HOST OUR OWN SERVERS.
and VAC over PB? wtf are you kidding me? this is all a battle over lets do whats cheapest and cut corners with a garbage anti-cheat so we wan turn a greater profit in the end.
i knew something like this was going to happen, with the success of COD4 and the anticipation that MW2 brought out, i knew that IW was going to pull some horrible ploy out of their sleeves, i just dont think anybody expected something of this magnitude.
watch, IMO nobody is going to buy the PC version, of course console sales will be through the roof, but will the lack of support from the PC community there will be some new patch with dedi files and full PC support as expected. the reason they waited this long to tell the community of this dull release for PC is because if they said this from the beginning NOBODY would have been active on their twitter with suggestions, their forums, making polls, etc. maybe they forgot that the PC community is the MAIN source of their media output, we are the ones on the computers to respond to their press releases, not the people on console.
phew, that feels good getting that off my chest
