Official petition thread at the IW forums

Actual petition

#
We're doing a lot on the backend to make the game accessible for everyone.
#
There is no delay for the PC version of MW2
#
There's prestige mode
#
Jason West at the MP event, said that he was dead on, on the matchmaking servers. We've been building a system on the backend called IW.NET.
#
You are completely reliant on IW.NET. There are no server lists. There are no dedicated servers.
#
You have private matches where you can customize the game
#
You cannot put MW2 on a dedicated server.
#
This is the first time we've ever done something like this and the team has huge plans for what IW.NET develops into.
#
Customizing your game...you have quite a few options in a private match
#
You're getting same game (as in Console), plus matchmaking and private match.

They'll just blame the lack of sales on Piracy.

I'm not willing to pay full price for the game.

If I can find it a lot cheaper, might consider it, I'm not overly bothered, I'll have Fm10 + Left 4 Dead II to look forward to playing.

No dedicated servers and mod tools... Surly this is a backwards step :/

I guess it means laggy games and being booted out when the host decides to quit... Doesnt sound like a game worth getting.

WTF!! Canceled pre-order. Screw them, back to some more cod4 promod

Hmm

Wont let me register with the site to sign the petition

I bet the clans for CoD are well annoyed, no more clan servers with this type of thing.

Lack of dedicated servers is becoming a worrying trend. I had boycotted the game already due to activisions pricing practices. Can i boycott it twice?

No, but you can digg the article

apeZ · 18 Oct 2009 at 00:17

You can also digg the article down, then up twice

Well that makes the game less worthwhile now...I was ready to take a week off work so I can play online all throughout. But no...they decided to remove all this and for what? shocking.

FrenchTart · 18 Oct 2009 at 00:39

Can I just boycott it because I don't really like CoD?

Skeeter · 18 Oct 2009 at 00:57

So this is going to be a poor hurried console port then.
