"We in South Africa has thousands of people from full clans to social players canceling their pre-orders... If we just keep this up they will have to buckle or up the prices on console releases that will make the short fall even bigger. Keep up the Boycott"

"Treyarch did this the right way. IW needs to take a page out of the book that Treyarch borrowed in the first place, LAWL"

"How interesting to see that Amazon has removed all reviews... Obviously they are protecting their (potential) sales by removing these critical notes/previews/reviews, which naturally is a very doubtfull action, because they are in fact lying to their customers by censuring negative reviews..."

"I can't foresee having a quality on-line gaming experience when you will be thrown into a game with random people. Not all the PC gamers like their screens to be flooded with cussing and racist comments. That's why dedicated servers are better, consistent place to play and control of who you play with. I'll get it off Ebay in 3 months for $10.00 to peep the SP."

"I'm a console only gamer but have canceled my pre-order for my respective system in order to stand with my PC brethren in a collective "FUCK YOU" to both Activision and Infinity Ward. It's one thing to hike the price on the game but to abandon support completely is utter bullshit!! Why can't you have match-making and dedicated servers? "

"f***ing idiots act like their crying will get them anywhere, LMAO MW2 will sell 15 million copies, these crybabies mean shit."

"And console players don't get anything like this and we don't complain. :)"

"PC gaming is dying. Do you crybabies not see the asteroid coming? Move to either the PS3 or the XBOX 360 and you'll be fine. That is our goal here. And you would be best to follow the path. Piracy has killed PC gaming. You know it, though you refuse to admit it, because you support piracy yourselves. So there you have it. You made your bed, now sleep in it."

"This boycott is a joke. There aren't 140,000 PC gamers in the world so it's obvious a lot of those signaturs on the list are fake. I say just make Call of Duty a console only game."

"You forgot to mention that Activision has removed mods and custom maps, so people will have to fork out an extra $20 for DLC maps! This doesn't effect me because I'll be playing it mostly on Xbox (I get the PC version free from uni) but I don't like how PC gamers have been screwed over just so they can make more cash... DLC for World at war made a killing on DLC, or so I heard. So they want to boost their sales on their DLC by removing custom maps. I promise you, this is the reason why there are no dedicated servers."

"I have an idea...let them raise the price $10 and when nobody buys this game and the retailers try to make something off it we can buy it for $10 and save ourselves $50 or $60. Actually I am not going to buy it at all but it was an idea..."

"140,000 sigs x $60 each = ----------- $8.4 MILLION Money talks and $8.4 mil has a big fucking mouth. I don't think they can afford to ignore our one simple request. "

"I'm not surprised. Amazon US also had a rating bomb on MW2, which they removed quickly. The tag bomb that was also done, was still present as of Friday, however. And I will agree with Mindcrime, censuring negative opinion is the wrong way to go. People with legitimate complaints about a product should not feel that their voice is being ignored. Not by the manufacturers, and certainly not by the retailers. That being said, the major retort of the console gamers has been "We never had it, TFB"... well, you guys had it with the Battlefield releases, as well as some games released by Epic and TGS. If you cannot appreciate it, then it's not an issue with the PC gamer. As for those who (once again) say suck it and get a console... We play FPS games on PC for the best experience in a shooter. We play it for a level of action that you cannot simulate with a console. We play competitively, which you in the console realm seem to be at a loss to grasp. We live on the freedom of choice that dedicated servers and user created content provide. We will not give up that FREEDOM for anyone or anything. And finally, IW has to be smoking some serious drugs to even THINK that I would pay more for less. I'll save the money for Bad Company 2, thanks."

"To all you console nubs - have you ever played the COD4 PC Version?!? I have an xBox 360 as well, and it in NO WAY compares to FPS on a PC. Plus, on a PC with Dedicated Servers, I get to choose with whom I play and where. I can play on Dedicated Servers that have admins who keep the gameplay and language clean. Why would I want my 14 year-old son playing LIVE with no one to monitor the language and gameplay? I have canceled my Pre-Order"

"To the users giving us crap about boycotting this game by saying "It will still sell 15 million copies". I say it is better to do something than nothing and take it up the rear from these pricks. Who cares if it still sells millions of copies?? At least I have the piece of mind to know that I stuck to my beliefs and didn't take it up the ass."

"Nonsense ....utter nonsense."

"I agree fully with all the arguments against not having dedicated servers. Basically, I feel this is an infridgement against our "free enterprise" and a decision which is an entrance to monopolosized, end of an era for PC gamers issue. If PC gamers wanted a console, they would hace bought one. I have a few, but ultimately prefer PC's over them, despite the cost and upkeep involved. We are basically an adult, technically minded people who demand the best graphics, speed and new maps. Most of us are cabable of running our own server, it's easy and not expensive. We enjoy our clan member friends and the freedom to choose server based on rules, maps, players. I have access to over 18,000 servers on COD 5 and over 30,000 on COD 4. I am not willing to settle for one server with lag and have to pay for mod-maps, plus not having the choice of who I am playing with or the rules. This is freedom of choice. What most of us, including myself, fought for. To eliminate lecherous dictators from spreading like cancer. Most console players wont understand, but us PC gamers are a different sort. Realistic tactical games-no bunny hopping,wall hacking, aim bots, run and gun ect.We paid much $$$ for our gaming rigs and expect the multitude of choices they offer in return, ie overclocking, upgrading and maintainig so we can choose most any game or server in the world with no problem. I think the piracy issue is one of the main reasons for the change by Rob Bowling. There is something called the keycode which has been in use successfully. Pirated keycodes are not received or accepted by dedicated servers-only private servers which have no rules.We spend lot's of dollars for High Speed Internet to avoid lag and ping issues. I myself have Fios 20Mbt per sec download and am not about to settle for a high latency, only 6 player unknown server which will change everytime. Dedicated servers monitor and clean their game 24/7 (most of them) If one dislikes the rules or gameplay, we simply choose another from amongst the thousands. New mods are freely downloaded daily automatically upon entering a game. Shame on Actovision, they had a good thing going with COD 1-5 with over 100,000 sales on COD 5 which netted billions of dollars profit. They got greedy and decided to control the whole thing and charge for extra maps, plus pay a console tax on the PC!!! I have been a faithful follower since COD 1 and highly anticipated my pre-order three moths ago till the axe came down at the last minute. I like other 150,000 people sadly and angrily cancelled. Satisfied with COD 4 and 5 anyway. Enough Said"

"Heres a poem I wrote for the PC gamers out there :D Called: [U]The Fall[/U] Modern Warefare 2 went down the loo; they pushed up the price, that wasnt very nice; they extended the release date, wow things are looking great; they took away our servers do they still deserve us; that was the last straw its worse than breaking the law; now we'll have steam thats our life dream; *sarcasm* a petition was signed with one thing in mind; to get our way, so maybe we'll stay; we cancelled our orders before they crossed the borders; we spammed the guy who thinks he shoulda told a lie; we've done what we can by throwing our frying pan; now we wait, until release date; will they bring us a patch, will we win the match; will it come out the loo, or stay in the poo?"
