no, 200k isn't alot of people, but I believe I am right in saying 1 retail copy of the game is $60 new.

Now on top of that, 1 in about every 10 people bout 2 or more copies, so that makes it about 220000 copies now no longer sold, 220000x60= $13.2m, which is alot of money in anybodies books

lol you are all full of it, your all going to buy it , at least when the price drops... theres no way they will go more than a half of a year before there are dedicated servers.... Im still trying to figure out why they are doing this... I mean the real reason, do they save money?

they save time AND money, it took them less time to make because basically what they did was port the xbox version over to the PC, that is just taking the game and making it compatible with PC and upping the graphics a bit, but they said, I know, lets be really lazy and keep the matchmaking system and program a simple program called IW.net to muck up online and put matchmaking on PC

Normally porting to PC is ok, it is the same game after all, but normally the companies will take out matchmaking, like what they did with CoD4, but IW got too lazy this time and mucked up big time.

And you are right, when the price has dropped and it is on steam weekend deal, I will buy it, it is worth £15, but it isn't worth £40

I don't think it's so much being lazy as it simply being the smart business decision. Fact is, PC gamers are an ever shrinking demographic. My guess is someone crunched the numbers, and estimated that the extra time and money that it would take to create a separate PC version with all of the features from COD4 wouldn't create a large enough boost in sales to be worth it.

Agreed there, it's really what's good for the company (IW) and not what's good for PC gamers, since pissing off PC gamers isn't really going to put a huge dent in their sales.

So that's what happened to Star Wars Galaxies... As for best COD, I still like World at War, mainly for Nazi Zombies!!!!

I'll still buy it. Single player looks amazing, there's a lot of new features in the multiplayer, alright it's completely messed up for clans, but it will still be a really fun game. Why not use COD4/WaW for matches and COD MW2 for extra fun, or don't, and stop whinging, buy it or don't I'm really sick of hearing about this.
