Well one I'd like to see a source for that figure and of course not all that are cancelling will be signing the petition, also not all cancellations will be for that reason only.

I suspect that most will be.

In fact, VALVe seem to be keen on free content packs for their games
This, I was, and most definately still am looking far more forward to BFBC2
Oh yeah no doubt, just saying not all
I'm sure there is a little timmy out there, who got robbed of his phone, now has to cancel his pre-order, so he can buy a new phone.
What a way to clutch at straws, 99% of cancellations will be due to the dedicated server issue.
I bought CoD4 after hearing RL friends/coworkers going on about it as if it was the best game ever made. What I got was a pretty sub-standard FPS that was less fun, less involved, and not as pretty as a lot of the other FPS games out there.
It seemed it was one of those cases where a genre hits the mainstream (thanks to consoles) and those new players think it's the second coming, whilst the rest of us have seen it all before.
I vowed never to buy another CoD game after that because it was such a waste of money. MW2 looks like more of the same, so this isn't even a disappointment for me, it just solidifies my stance on this series.

You're right. The actual impact will probably be greater than the figure I stated.
Of course however, some of those that cancel their preorder, will go on to subsequently buy the game anyway if it still gets great reviews for online play.
Not as pretty/fun/less involved as what at the time multiplayer PC FPS gaming wise?
Cod4 was and still probably is, immense. I had it on release day, due to having all of the other cod games, initially I thought it was OK, but over time and paying in a clan with the game it was soo much fun.
Should be CoD4 was nothing new. The first Call of Duty, one of my favourite games and beats every other CoD by a country mile imo.
Games that do Modern Warfare better? CoD4 would have been brilliant if it had not been for the American missions, please do away with the obligatory cringeworthy rap track too. In terms of fun with modern weapons, Crysis Warhead is the winner.
I agree with that, I was referring however to smaller companies rather than the more well established ones. Most of the big guns have their own business models set in place and it works for them, however an up and coming company may look to Activisions example as a way to secure a financial foothold in the market.
I remember getting the original CoD using my GeForce 4... I was pretty young and didn't have a clue about computers but it ran ok as far as I can remember.
But boy was it a sweet game. I had never done anything like it before, storming beach fronts and shooting many a people.

Ok, Multiplayer. Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike, Call of Duty (+ United Offensive), Left4Dead. All multiplayer games I have enjoyed more than I did CoD4.
