I started this thread before IW announced that they won't be supporting dedicated servers. They are now using a match making system similar to what the ps3 and xbox use in order to connect you to servers. Those servers are going to be hosted by players most likely on a cruddy dsl / cable connection, as opposed to what pc gamers are used to with cod4, which is on dedicated servers. Also IW will probably be charging you to download content, like maps, weapons, etc. So that $60 game without dedicated server support can cost you 2 to 3 times as much in the long run. They are basically taking every advantage away that a pc gamer has. Who knows, the graphics might be just as bad as well. If you don't agree with this, you can submit your [h] member boycott here:
So far there are 205 members here that have boycotted Modern Warfare 2. I'd suggest that if you preordered from walmart, that you cancel if you can.
Here is the Article that sums up what's going on

Ok, Ok, I'll tell you why this is hot. It's $10 cheaper than all the other big sites like Amazon that sells it for $59. You get a $10 e-gift card you can use for another purchase at Walmart.com. So give the egift card to someone who also wants to buy the game...then he gets another $10...so $39 for him! Then he gives the $10 gift card to another buddy...and then just keep the chain rolling.
To me this game is worth $49 easily due to the multiplayer and it maintains a good resale value once you get tired of it. You'll probably be able to turn around and sell it for $30 later.
