I might look into this with the money that was just freed up what once was my MW2 preorder.

Edit: delayed pc version for no reason whatsoever? I sense a shit port incoming.

They assume warez people are retards who will not be able to wait a week and will buy the 360 version instead of warezing the computer one next week.

Course, retards forget it's just as easy to warez 360 game, if not easier.

I'd say it's part of the contract that gives them the right to make an Xbox version. Microsoft probably wants to make Xbox owners feel a little special and thus forces anyone making cross-platform games to start selling the Xbox version first.

That, or it'll be a shitty port...

[Ioric Kittencuddler]

Why would a week long delay make it a shitty port?

[Deon]

Well, it has nothing to do with delay in general, but it makes us think that they've developed an XBOX version and started to make it for PC not with an elaborate engine, but with a quick port from a XBOX and they are short in time thus they have to delay the release and it'll probably have all problems of most ported games.

However I think it's all about marketing, a vile plan to encourage gamers to buy XBOX once all cross-platform games start to come out first on XBOX.

It wasn't really just suddenly delayed though. As far back as I remember the PC release was marked for the same date..

[Deon]

Well, then it's really a marketing "feint".

Im not sure for the reason for the week delay for the PC, but they have said that the PC version will be far superior than the console version.  Mmm lovely.  And the 360 version was released on torrents like 3 or 4 days pre release, and tons of people have already pirated it. O_o

This conjures up visions of another game delayed so they could add awesomeness which turned out absolute crap and was released a few months ago.

I'm pretty sure that if they have any intent of releasing a decent PC port they've already finished it.  It does take time to duplicate all those hard copies and get them to stores.

This makes me wish my Xbox was working... :< It looks so FUN to play with a friend.

I should see if I can convince sis that we should replace the xbox before Christmas.

And invent some new Half-assed DRM .

Dammit again, I just noticed that the recommended requirements for the graphics card is a 256mb one, while my laptop barely has a 64mb one. All the other requirements are easily met, though. So what are the odds that it might somehow work on the lowset possible settings and resolutions?

[Cthulhu]

I doubt it, that's a pretty big difference.

I think you are wrong with this game. This was originally supposed to come out LAST october. But they pushed it back to this year. And look how it turned out. They completely overhauled the graphics to something absolutely amazing looking. The hand drawn textures/cell shaded effect makes it look so much better than them going for a UT3 type look.   Im also fairly certain this isnt just a "console port" like Oblivion.

You also have to give them credit for not pushing back the release date to 2k10 like every other big game that doesnt have the balls to go up against CoD:MW2 *cough*blizzard*cough*.  All of the videos of ingame play I have seen so far have been absolutely amazing. I cant wait.
