    They missed a chance to score a major PR victory and tie in some BS about how they're ALSO not selling it because they, too, are gamers and demand dedicated servers.

    For me, this just reinforces the fact that Activision is being stupid by implying that PC has the worst pirating issues of the three consoles.

    Are they not seeing this case? Are they not reading the sites? It seems to me like 360 ISO's are getting bigger every year. #modernwarfare2

    @Polterg3ist is Nothing but Cogs: Well it's so much easier to pirate for PC than for consoles. You don't have to mod a pc to pirate a game, all you need is virtual drive software like daemon tools (which actually has non pirate uses) and you're pretty much set. It's easier to just download an iso and mount it on a v-drive than to pay someone or mod your console itself than have to place it on that hard drive or make a physical copy.

    I say overall PC does have the worst piracy issues. That's not to say that the other consoles don't, but it's just so much more prevalent on PC than any other platform. #modernwarfare2

    @Ozymandias: Yep the cost, as I understand it, is not worth the effort to pirate the games. Buying the drive to copy the games, the tools and the disc itself is just not economically feasible. It's not that they can do it, it's just that it's cheaper and easier to just buy the game. #modernwarfare2

    @MarginalMeaning: Reading the article and how easy it was for the cops to find and obtain a pirate copy of the game themsevles on the 360. It sure doesn't look that hard to me.

    As far as PC go it is not as easy as downloading an iso and using a virtual cd rom to mount the iso. That doesn't by itself remove the copy protection on the disc.

    On console you have to use the console drm. On PC there are many different types and kinds. If you have something you want to protect there is a difference between using a safe and chain with a masterlock.

    I think it is wrong to blame all of PC gamers because publishers use weak copy protection that is widely known to be easy to bypass. They chose to continue to use an inferior system to protect their products, and some of the blame for that.

    So far all the stories about piracy and modern warfare 2 have all been about the 360, and not PC. So far the facts have not lived up to the PC piracy excuse created by Activision/IW for gutting the PC version of the game. #modernwarfare2

    In others: Who are you to say that Karma isn't real? Every cause has an effect and Karma could be the universes way of balancing things out.

    @G1bblets: Look at MW1 on PC that games piracy rates were what 75%

    Can you tell me exactly how they got those figures? That's a bullshit statistic. There's still over 14,000 servers in COD4 and many of them full day in and day out, every one of those people you see in the server list on PC is a legitimate owner of the game, not to mention anyone that didn't play the multiplayer but bought it on PC or simply are not playing at any given moment.

    Why should IW be mad at PC? other way round more like.
    And with them shitting on PC platform they really shouldn't be surprised to expect PC gamers to shit back n just pirate their game instead. Sure they will not be able to 'great' service that is IWnet, but they get to enjoy the single player campaign for far less than the price the robbing ATVI are asking for, and go back to playing COD4 MP on dedicated servers.

    They are forcing an unwanted feature onto PC gamers and PC gamers have kindly asked they don't.
    But all IW have since done is talk down to PC gamers, continually ignore their requests n dismiss the platform. Even worse on top of all this its Pc gamers that gave IW their big break, they are their original fans and supporters of the series.

    @deanbmmv: Again the game isn't out yet but it seems PC gamers are to afraid to leave there comfort zone and try something new so it MUST be bad. Yah IW started on the PC but who's to say how much of a success COD1 would have been if it was on a console. COD2 was a launch game on the 360 so not many people had bought one yet. COD4 had perfect timing it was a couple of years after the launch of the 360 so many more people had owned a next-gen console, and with the good reception of COD2 seemed like a reasonable pick up. I guess what im trying to say is at this point the next COD could be a 360 exclusive and it would still make more then the last three PC COD's together. IW is still a company just trying to make some money after all.

    @G1bblets: As continuously pointed out by the PC gamers here, p2p matchmaking like IWnet is nothing new. The Best Buy chat clarified that IWnet will be subpar to COD4s multiplayer.
    So it's not a case of leaving a comfort zone. Its a case of being forced to leave the past decade of multiplayer behind.
    And while PC version of COD currently outsold by 360 and PS3 it's not niche enough yet for IW to be sane enough to drop the 10's of millions that PC version brings in #modernwarfare2
