I think we need to find out what the reason was for the delay. if it is for the piracy comment. I will boycott IW and pirate the game!!!!!!

Righty-o. Just need a few more like you to see the consoles get quite a lot more exclusives.

Then I say go consoles!!!!! Well PS3 anyway, as most of the Xbox games are pirated long before release dates.
I am tired of some these companies blaming piracy for screwing over the PC gamers. The legal ones anyway!!!!!

We all know the reason...it's to push the more expensive console counterparts for a bit. I can't say I blame them though (well I do blame them but I can't say that I wouldn't do the same if I was in their shoes)...R600 per game is a much nicer start to the R350!

Either way they could delay it 'til next year and I'd still NOT buy the console version.

Interesting point, anyone know what the console sale vs pc sales of CoD are? AFAIK CoD is probably one of the most popular console FPS (next to Halo/KZ2 etc ofcourse)

Cod 4 is the most online played game across platforms.

Call of Duty 4 is a target of piracy, which has resulted in multiple copies of the game being illegally distributed online. Robert Bowling, Community Manager at Infinity Ward stated, "We pulled some disturbing numbers this past week about the amount of PC players currently playing Multiplayer.... What wasn't fantastic was the percentage of those numbers who were playing on stolen copies of the game on stolen/cracked CD keys of pirated copies."[82]

I don't understand how they can even allow pirated copies to connect in the first place.

Its not that they allow this. Punk buster does not allow this. People create cracked servers that do not require the use of punk buster. A lot of PC users play on these servers.

While Activision may have ensured that I'll pass Roman law, I'm still pissed.

 

[Kyubi_ZA]

They may still be hope for us PC users

[Rudimental]

I doubt it. According to Take2, Megarom has confirmed that they will only be distributing the PC version on the 24th.

 

[killadoob]

Yea the 24 is not really far away hey.

Gonna pre order mine i reckon, i wonder if btgames have pre ordering up yet.

 

[Kyubi_ZA]

Take 2 and Megarom changed they dates based on those rumors. Infinity Ward didn't confirm 24/11/09 release for Modern Warfare 2. Buy yea...2 weeks inst that long to wait.
