Interesting news hitting VGNZ desks today regarding the PC version of Modern Warfare 2. Gamers across the review sites are reporting very low review scores for the title.

It is believed that it is in retaliation to developers Infinity Ward’s decision to forgo the use of dedicated servers in favour of peer2peer systems where gamers can connect to other gamers pcs while they host it. Previous CoD games had had dedicated servers. It was well known that much of the online gaming community had called for a boycott of the game but now it seems they have reverted to dumbing down the review score. Below is the average ratings from sites:

“It’s painfully obvious that Infinity Ward prefer console development at this point (particularly the 360, which gets exclusive content before anybody else for the second game in row now), and it’s even clearer that Activsion are greedy jerks.”

Gamespot user rating: 5.0 / 10

“The worst part of all of this is that Activision is still pitching the no dedicated servers as an improvement in playability.”

“Despite claims that this is the most ‘feature ritch’ PC version in the series, IW seem to have completely ruined the PC online part. No dedicated servers, limited to 9v9 (6v6 for some modes), no mods, heck it doesn’t even show your ping”
