When Crysis maximum edition was released (Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Crysis Wars compilation) it sold like hotcakes. Left 4 Dead is now $35 on the PC and is not even a year old, for example. Virtually every major PC developer (Crytek, Valve, Blizzard, Epic Games) has supported their games with post moterm content. Crysis Wars has a very small playerbase and has gotten 5 patches and 4 new maps, and people paid NOTHING for them. Likewise, UT3 got the massive titan pack and bonus pack, which is a ton more content than IW's shitty four map pack for the PC, and it released on the PC and PS3 FREE OF CHARGE. Don't even get me started on Valve, who has released more free DLC content then all Infinity Ward will probably release in Call of Duty's lifetime. Also, Call of Duty World at War sucked, but PC gamers got both WaW's map packs (and are also getting the third) free. Seriously, IW, you're getting showed up by Treyarch, get your game together. The sad thing is I really want MW2. It looks really fun. But that extra $10 better damn well mean a few things: -PC gamers get all DLC for free, and released at the same time or very close to the same time it is released on the 360 -The weapons are balanced for the PC version. That means take into account superior aiming devices and higher skill curve on the PC (don't nerf the M16). -Working custom SDK out of the box, and better support for custom mapping. Take a look at Epic and Valve, that's how much you should be backing your custom mapping community. -Listen to your PC community. I should expect all that shit for $50, but I guess time has changed. But T2A pretty much covered it. They're going to sell millions of copies anyway in addition to shooting PC gaming in the foot. How much you want to bet its going to have DRM too?
