Earlier this month, we received a ton of tips pointing to various stories claiming the release date for the PC version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 had been pushed back to November 24. Infinity Ward frontman Robert Bowling recently dispatched a 140-character missive that should soothe the souls of mouse-and-keyboard wielders everywhere: "No delay on PC for Modern Warfare 2," Mr. FourZeroTwo tweeted.
In the same chirp, Bowling added, "you'll also have Prestige Mode in PC as well as lots of Steam support. Hopefully min specs will be soon." Admittedly, that's not a whole lot of detail, but c'mon -- the guy had 140 letters to get his message across. We've contacted Bowling to get lengthier details on what this "support" entails.

It'd be better if those angry people could SIGN the fucking petition to bring back dedicated servers for Modern Warfare 2.

I feel it would be better if they bought another game instead.. one that does support dedicated servers.

This is uber-weak. Granted some games are just fine on console, but given the choice between blurry 720p FPS with no mouse, or 1920x1200 60 FPS with mouse - which would you choose? Plus joining games is SOOOO much easier on PC!
It sucks that thumb-waggle controlled consoles with 4 year old graphics processors are dictating policy now. I wonder what video card manufacturers think of this?

I know it's a completely different game, but at least it wasn't like Ghostbusters for the pc. Multiplayer was stripped completely. Achievements, stripped. Everything taken out so they could "focus on the console versions".
Still, the slightest chance I would buy Modern Warfare 2 is gone.
