Report – Modern Warfare 2 PC delayed until November 24
According to a report from Electronic Theatre, the PC version of Modern Warfare 2 has recieved a small delay.
Intended for release along with it’s console brethren worldwide on November 10, as well as the Nintendo Wii version of Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare: Mobilzed for the DS, the PC SKU will now apparently launch on November 24.
Both PS3 and 360 SKU’s are uneffected, and will still launch on November 10.
We’ll follow up with Activision on this one and see if this is true.

I’m sure that there was a news story somewhere under all of those ad links on that site.

@dirigiblebill: You’re out of date on the latest guidance…
“The i before e rule is not worth teaching. It applies only to words in which the ie or ei stands for a clear ee sound. Unless this is known, words such as sufficient and veil look like exceptions.
There are so few words where the ei spelling for the ee sounds follows the letter c that it is easier to learn the specific words. These include receive, ceiling, perceive and deceit.”

I’d say the delay is likely a form of “piracy tax”. If they hold the PC version back a couple of weeks then it’s less likely the game will be leaked onto the ‘net, making it more likely that potential pirates will pick up a legitimate console copy on launch day instead.
Sounds bizarre, I know, but apparently it’s an actual thing; presumably there’s some figures somewhere which lend credence to the idea.

Writing up a lengthy hate mail on why Activision selling out to consoles is to blame for all of this.

…but well up to date on current poster etiquette, under which tiny lapses of grammar and spelling are equivalent to the writer’s punching your pet kitten in the balls whilst shagging your sister.

yea alot pc games have started where is hurts consoles the must the boycott of AMD who has 80 percent of their hardware in consoles.
it’s pretty sad that AMD had to steal money from Intel to survie lol what a joke. Once AMd goes bankurpt I wonder what console makers are going to do.
yea that is right your hear actvision is nothing with out pc gamers.
alot of game devs and gaming like to attack pc gaming and pc gamers these day I wonder what they are going to do when the extistion of consoles comes.

Still with that crap about 80% of AMD’s hardware in consoles I see? That’s still completely ignoring the fact that less than 10% of their revenue comes from the processors they have in consoles I assume?

You know, I was sure that Nvidia made the PS3′s graphics hardware…
Maybe PC gamers should boycott them too!

I’m guessing that Aimless is 100% correct in this. I think that’s why we’re seeing so many PC versions of games being delayed by weeks just before launch. Either that or MS is paying them to do it so they can move gamers to their nickel and dime gaming operation.
