IW Moderator Foxhound has assured me that this thread will not be deleted. Please voice your opinion but obey the forum rules. This is the second **official** petition. We had over 250 pages of signatures on the original before the thread was deleted by IW Mods.

Today (10/17) Infinity Ward drove a heart thru Call of Duty lovers and PC Gamers everywhere when it was announced that there would be no dedicated servers or mod tools on Modern Warfare 2 for the PC version. After barely mentioning or promoting the PC version at all they broke their silence and informed us that they have "dumbed down" the PC experience and made it similar to xbox live. They have taken away many of the features we have come to expect and basically given us a console port that doesn't take advantage of the power and features of the PC Platform. What they may not realize is that this could well mean the end for Call of Duty Modders, Game Server Companies, the Competitive Community and the tight knit Clan System that has defined the PC community that most of us are a part of for many years. EA and others have tried similar things and failed miserably.

This petition is to let IW /Activision know that we PC gamers are a force to be reckoned with. Many of us also have consoles or consoles for our kids but we feel the best experience is with the PC with the features we have come to expect from FPS games and the Call of Duty Series. Putting these things we need will cost very little and will generate goodwill and maximize their sales. Hopefully they will see the benefits of keeping their PC consumers and customers happy.

This news is a giant leap backwards. It was PC gamers that made Call of Duty and Infinity Ward what it is today. It seems that there is not a champion at IW who knows what the PC experience should be and that is disheartening. Many innovations in the game today originally came from modders such as *PST*Joker and many others. Making the console version as feature rich as PC has made console games what they are. It used to be innovations came to the PC version and then they figured out how to put it in for the consoles. Console gamers are losing out here as well big time. If it weren't for PC COD would be single player console (cod 3?)game with no replayability. Its ironic that console players had a petition to get dedicated servers as some know its a better experience.

We are willing to delay the game or take a patch but please assure us that these features will be in the game. Please sign this post and let IW know how you feel by canceling your preorder.
