Infinity Ward Kills Modern Warfare 2 Online Community

In a series of shocking choices by Infinity Ward, it seems they have effectively killed most of the MW2‘s online appeal. In short, there will be no dedicated servers for the game. This is to allow for matchmaking so that people that suck at the game will stop complaining. Also, the game is now exclusively a Steam game. On top of that, you’ll have to run IWNet, Infinity Ward’s matchmaking software. Could they not just build it into the game? Instead, we have to run several outside programs for their game to work.
Also, gamers have started a petition to include dedicated servers with the release of MW2. You can view, read and sign the petition here.

Let me get this straight: NoObs and Pwners will be kept on different servers? Awful Idea.
Besides, I simply envision bored vets with ever-new profiles calling ourselves themselves things like Newbie1234 and plzDontShootMe
