PC Gamers are nerd raging over Modern Warfare 2?

I didn't even know about this until I started looking at the reviews for the game on a few sites.

IGN's read comments on the review:

From a business perspective, it's not hard to see why they're treating the PC gamers as second-class. Sucks for the PC gamers but really, there's no real reason for them to spend the coin on that version

[Tessian]

They're crying because the developer chose not to let PCs hack and mod the crap out of their game, boo-hoo?

Being someone who played CoD:World at War on the PC (got it free with my last video card) I think this is a nice change. I'm sick of having to try to find a server to play on that's not full or modded out the ass with stupid rules or only playing 2 maps. As much as I love PC gaming, that was always a big turn off for me.

It seems like it's more than that, though, yeah? It sounds like it's just overall a worse experience. The maximum player count in a game is 18? What? Seriously? Shoving an inferior product in our face for a $10 mark up is pretty goddamned silly. And I get them doing it to make the console and PC versions identical but for me this game just lost a lot of appeal. I feel like customization is one of the best things available on the PC and this is pretty much a middle finger to that. Especially on top of a 20% mark up in price.

And 9v9 just sounds fucking boring.

And also, Zeus is 100% right this time around. You would be foolish to buy this on the PC if you have access to a console. Does that make a lick of sense to PC sales? Are they just trying to kill that portion of their sales even more than other factors already have? Wowza. I'm really glad I wasn't looking forward to this game.

Amen! I got sick of that shit on L4D.

I keep hearing this, what's so bad about 9vs9? Every version of Modern Warfare 2 is 9vs9 Console & PC alike, every review has praised it's multiplayer, what's the problem.

For being angry about a game, they sure did buy a lot day 1. Word is around that the PC version sold 1 million copies, the Xbox 360 version sold 3.25 million, and the PS3 sold 2.75 million for a total worldwide sale across all platforms of 7 million in one day.

9v9 just doesn't sound as fun to me as 12v12 or 16v16. I enjoy the chaos of bigger games and trying to control it.
