I, for one, am pretty excited about this text based chat and mouse based control scheme. With this amount of originality I'm surprised people aren't already handing out GOTYs. 10/10 two thumbs up A+++

Take it to tells, Dave and Nancy. Nobody cares 'bout yer love games.
p.s. The co-op in Modern Warfare 2 actually looks prettay awesome. The only real loss for me in this new system is the lack of lean, which I continue to make use of in Modern Warfare, particularly on hardcore.

I gotta admit, the idea of rank finally being held by IW themselves is appealing to me. I had mine reset during formats twice. I also like the idea of adding a steady level of progression and stat tracking, not that it requires gutting the dedicated server infrastructure that we all know and love.
I can't honestly complain, I never became a regular on any CoD4 server, nor did I play any mods or custom maps, or enjoy massive unwieldy games, spare for a few inebriated, deathmatch craving nights. I also didn't play competitively enough to complain about slightly higher latency. Hell, all this controversy is just keeping MW2 on the headlines of all the major game news outlets--probably generating more console sales. If the PC version is well received by those willing to take the $60 plunge and are mildly articulate, I'm looking at picking it up for sure.

Come to think of it, I might pick this up on PC after a while when the price drops. I'm not willing to spend 120$ on the same game twice for two different platforms. That's nonsense. >_<

Yar, the assumption is that IW will store the profile data through Steamworks functionality (along with things like video settings, key bindings, etc). The comparison to BF2 is legitimate, but hopefully this is even more competent.
If the co-op is as good as previewers are making it seem, I'm all in.

If IW nails PC matchmaking I will take off my damn hat to 'em. Come to think of it, has anyone done proper matchmaking on the PC? (the only thing that comes to mind is Left 4 Dead, and that was a disaster at launch).

L4D matchmaking is different though. It sets you up with other players but still uses dedicated servers, so it's still possible for server owners to customize the game and add server plugins.
MW2 will set you up with other players but will use P2P connections. Not exactly everyone has an internet connection capable of hosting lag free 9v9 games like a dedicated server can, or at least with sub-100ms ping. Not to mention that if the host player leaves, and there is no way of telling who is the host till the game starts, then the game actually pauses for several seconds and migrates to a new host. This also means that people who usually play with each other from across the world will no longer be able to meet on a centralized dedicated server that they regular. Now they're gonna have to directly connect to each other which means even more lag and high pings. If MW2's matchmaking doesn't fail like OPF2 or FEAR2, the only reason will be the fact that it's MW2.

I just don't see how IW can replace the sense of Community a Servers has...it's not possible with random people every new match.

I loved the original Call of Duty, but after that...I lost interest, because it looked to be more of the same; just better graphics and different locations.
I never had any interest in the Modern Warfare, because unless it's Counter-Strike, I have no interest in modern war shooters (and CSS doesn't technically fall under this, I know).

Of course you don't have a problem with the game, you are buying the completely unchanged consoled version. How about if tonight they announce that the PS3 version doesn't support online co-op? You'd be in here "bitching" and "crying". And if you wouldn't, that's because you play $65 first person shooters on a $600 console with a game pad. You'll take anything. lollol
