Clan and I are boycotting it, no dedicated servers and forcing clans to rent servers individually from IW, well, no thanks, CoD:1, :UO, :2, and :4 are enough. :old:

Forcing you to rent their servers?  Ejecting people from conventions?  I haven't heard any of this.  Does anyone have a new link about all these shenanigans?

I canceled my pre order. The no dedicated servers is Bull, IW really screwed themselves this time, console isn't the only thing out there. I'd rather just rip it for free and play Single Player.

I was ramped for this Release until the Server Issue was leaked.    Now, I'm getting Left 4 Dead 2.    Most of AOM (not in here) is getting it.

They're not even going to be using PB, they're using "V.A.C."

Edit: For you console gamers, here's the major reason we're up in arms...

And bring on the death of mods and custom maps, too? The one, major thing that set the PC apart from consoles? The thing keeping people's interest in games like Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike Source, while console games with matchmaking are rarely ever played for more than six months? (Halo, Call of Duty, and Gears of War being the exceptions.) Using IWNet will ensure the death of these custom maps and mods that PC gaming is known for.

If the $59.99 for Call of Duty on XBOX 360 wasnt cheaper than the upgrade required for my PC to handle it, i would be getting it on PC  :(

Good graphics, yeah, system taxing, hell yeah. The graphics though are pretty much CoD:4s with a minor touch up. And the single player? I find it fun, the first time through, the problem afterwords is it just gets so... easy. It's simple to memorize where the next bad guy's gonna jump out of, especially after beating it on veteran difficulty.
Anywho, your money, I just don't find it as good of an investment. ;)
Then again, I still think CoD:UO was BY FAR the best CoD they EVER released, from both a singleplayer AND multiplyer view. [TxM]'s servers, amazing, the no tanks server is always in the worlds top 10 most popular game servers. The skill level it takes to be competitive on some servers is just astronomical, and it's fun to get to that level. Anywho, I'm ranting now. ;)

If any of you have seen me in game, in CoD:4 I'm [s*8].Kinslayer on :UO I'm [TxM]KinSlayer, and on :1, I'm trigger2. ;)

Skip it and go with Left for Dead 2.  You can't be disappointed killing zombies.

VAC absolutely sucks, look at CS:S. BF2:BC looks good. Once I found out about the server ordeal I canceled and ordered my computer, and I made the better choice for sure. 193727+ people have signed the petition and over 100 clans, clans have canceled their pre order.

Like I said, I'll download SP because I like the SP missions, even today in COD1, 2, 4 etc. It'd be neat if they made a separate DLC for just SP missions...

Hardly.  He's talking about downloading a pirate version of the game and that makes him a thief.  I'm tired of twits like him that take money from my dinner table because they 'feel entitled' and don't have to pay for a game.

How are YOU losing money personally? Work for IW or something? If you think my $60 is bad you really ought to take a look at everyone else.
