"All I can say is that we changed it to make it a better and easier experience. Also, not all of the names on that list are legit," said Infinity Ward, when talking about the MW2 server petition and downplaying the significance of its 178,000 signatures.

"402 signed it 4 times I heard," adds IW's Mackey McAndlish, while also revealing that, "Games cap out at 9v9. The software has great latency tolerance."

And it looks like Amazon removed all of the negative comments. How lame.]

I like how people talk about a subject long enough that they begin to abbreviate the words. "dedis"

I love all the hate from people NOT playing the game, who have no idea how good or bad it is.

"But I just know no dedis means lag and blah blah blah"

No, you don't. Everyone playing it seems quite happy with it, only those not playing it are still pissed off.

There is no way in hell this game would be enjoyable with more then 18 players on ANY of the maps.

As for lean? Oh well get over it, and what mods exactly came out for MW1? Or Map packs that were used by people on a regular basis?

At some time, we will all realize that the vocal minority has nearly zero impact on game sales. All the complaining does absolutely zero to their bottom line. The people complaining about all the lost features are still going to buy it...face the facts. Infinity Wards can do whatever they want because they can. Note the insane price. Heck, they should have gone for $100.

I don't necessarily want or need them to be exclusive. Why not let everyone experience good times?

Everything I have read on forums so far shows people are actually quite pleased with the multiplayer. I see a lot of "oh, nevermind, it's good!" comments.

The beatings will continue until morale improves Hump.

It will but not with this game. The preorder numbers are record breaking. Some stores are sold out of the preorder, because they had over 300,000 copies preordered.

This game sales will probably blow chunks on the PC but Activision makes up for it on the consoles, which is where they make their money anyways. Too bad for PC gamers.

Networking: The switch to a P2P system is dumb. However from IW's standpoint it makes it easier for them to control cheaters rather than having to rely on 3rd party software (PunkBuster) that is easily bypassed.

Avg. Ping: A good point, but keep in mind a dedicated server's low ping is entirely reliant on the quality of the server alone. There are good servers and bad servers.

Console Commands: Who really uses these anyway? I haven't used console commands since CS 1.3, it's a non-issue.

Lean: A nice feature, but it wasn't all that useful in COD4. I won't miss it.

Custom Maps: 99.9% of custom maps suck balls. Every once in a while there comes one really well done, balanced, fun map... but the majority of the time they're just imbalanced crapfests that the makers usually design for stat padding (see: TF2).

64 vs 18 players: 64 player COD4 was retarded. The majority of the maps weren't designed for 64 players, or even 32 players. Assuming MW2 will have the same general map size, 18 is a fine number.

Competitive mods: See: maps. 99.9% of player mods suck ass, and are usually just stat changes that don't really add anything to the game.

Mod tools: Well, without mod tools that goes without saying.

Ability to record: How often have you felt the need to record match? I haven't ever.

Kick/ban cheaters immediately: This is the only legit complaint in the list, IMO.

Profiles saved online: Non-issue.

Manually select server to join: I'm assuming this is on there as an argument for wanting to play with friends, I imagine there will be a way to play in a game with your friends.

Control bad language: Seriously, what the fuck?

0 ping advantage for host: Data sent to the host is still limited by client pings.

Lan play: Non-issue.

Free demo: Let's face it, if you've played 1 COD, you've played them all.

Price: This is a valid argument, though I'm buying the 360 version anyway so I don't really care.
