PC Gamers rage against Modern Warfare 2

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has barely been out a day but already PC gamers have been rating the game extremely poorly across Gamespot, IGN and Amazon.

Posted on
It's no secret now that Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 caused a big stir on the PC when it was announced that it would not come with dedicated servers as all the previous Call of Duty titles did. Instead it would implement a peer2peer system where gamers connect to other gamers who host a game while they play it. The mod, clan and server hosting community was shocked and decided to call a boycott on Modern Warfare 2.

It now seems the boycott is just beginning. Users across Gamespot, IGN and Amazon have vented their frustration by submitting a great number of user reviews lashing out at the game and lowering user scores across the respective sites.

IGN user rating: 2.1 / 10
Gamespot user rating: 5.0 / 10
Amazon user rating: 1.5 / 5 Stars

User reviews also detailed heavy distasted for the treatment of the PC port

M. Weir on Amazon:
“It's painfully obvious that Infinity Ward prefer console development at this point (particularly the 360, which gets exclusive content before anybody else for the second game in row now), and it's even clearer that Activsion are greedy jerks.”

SpecterXX on Gamespot:
“The worst part of all of this is that Activision is still pitching the no dedicated servers as an improvement in playability.”

mark_150 on IGN:
“Despite claims that this is the most 'feature ritch' PC version in the series, IW seem to have completely ruined the PC online part. No dedicated servers, limited to 9v9 (6v6 for some modes), no mods, heck it doesn't even show your ping”

Above are just some examples of the many reviews currently on the websites. It’s not clear at this point what Activision will to if anything to stop this user rating from dragging the score well below. Or if indeed the sites close user ratings and reviews for a little while the internet rage subsides. What is clear though is that there are quite a few annoyed fans that need to vent their frustration.
