QUOTE(Edison83 @ Jul 30 2009, 01:43 PM) Sorry PC players: No Hardened Edition of Modern Warfare 2 for you either Posted Jul 29th 2009 7:45PM by John Callaham Filed under: FPS, Multiplayer, Modern Warfare 2 A week ago we reported that it was looking unlikely that PC owners would not be able to get their own Prestige Version of Modern Warfare 2 (the one with the night vision goggles). While some might be upset about this situation we thought we were at least getting the Hardened Edition of Infinity Ward's upcoming FPS. That edition, whic in fact is listed as a pre-order option on the Amazon.com web site, has a behind-the-scenes DVD, an art book and a code to download the first Call of Duty game. Well get ready for some bad news. IGN is reporting (and Big Download has confirmed via an PR rep with publisher Activision) that the Hardened Edition won't be made available to PC players either, at least according to Infinity Ward's community mananger Robert Bowling. We haven't gotten a reason yet as to why PC players are being left (again) out in the cold in regards to getting the same kinds of editions as their console counterparts will have a chance to purchase. http://news.bigdownload.com/2009/07/29/sor...rfare-2-for-yo/Thanks a lot Activision. |

The only reason they did it is because they see no point in doing so because at the end of the day, most people would just download the game off torrents. They'd be lucky enough if they actually profit from selling the game alone (without any of the gimmicks ).

yeah right. i don't know what logic you have there in your mind.  how on earth by striping off the special editions from the PC would actually benefit IW??? since the items are already there (for the consoles), by putting them together with PC version will need extra costs? Those who would buy the game will buy it. And since there's nothing practical they could do against the pirates, by taking off "something" from the PC gamer crowd who would/might get the special editions could make extra income??? who knows some of those pirates might be attracted to the special edition items which they can't download and hence turning to the light side? duh. quote from bigdownload for clearer view of your "intelligent" logic.

stick to the topic la sync. no offence...as we are all affected as pc gamers, we are on the same boat. what's more, if you are a original die hard fans of the series!
yeah...what i am saying is, do not push every crap to piracy.
heck, my COD2 is collector's edition! cod4 never thought of getting any special edition as out of cash that time.
i mean, ok there's is this piracy shit. but IW could do better and actually make PE or HE into an incentive for people to buy them. make pre order on the official sites, and see who's really into the special editions hence IW won't over produce the end products. there's no loss!

lol I just wanted to cool down the situation.
This thing is already expected for company that focused on Xbox360 and no support for PC.
It's damn clear when IW or Activision did not give any support to PC competitive community around the world even in NA and EU. They just damn care about the money they get from console players and keep supporting those pub Xbox players. You can't expect much from IW or Activision, if want to expect much for PC bonus etc, better you give that hope to Valve.

That's business and how it is. People don't make games to support competitive players. They make a game to earn money. Because in the end, the amount they earn have to cover the cost they used to develop the game. You cannot blame them for not supporting it's community, they already let players tap into the game to mod it. And you weren't cooling down the situation syNc, you went "Thanks a lot, Activision".

They released a single player demo for COD 4. The mission "Bog" to be specific.
COD 4 was around 150 ringgit IINM. Wouldn't mind MW2 to be priced similarly.

There you go, prestige edition for PC. |
