For the PC version, Infinity Ward decided to implement a matchmaking service similar to what console versions have: the IWNET working through Steam. This system however takes away the dedicated servers which means there will be no more mods or community made maps. Also, since the multiplayer runs with Steam, the PunkBuster anti-cheat system has been replaced by VAC.[27] It has also been confirmed by two developers at Infinity Ward that the PC version will share the same player cap that the console versions at 18 players (or up to 9 vs. 9 matches).


The announcement made in October 2009 that the PC version of Modern Warfare 2 would not support the use of user-run dedicated servers was received poorly by the majority of the PC community.[36] The resulting negative response to reinstate dedicated servers by some of the community drew Infinity Ward's own response on the matter in an effort to put the community at ease.[27][37] Currently a petition and boycott have been organized in an attempt to have the decision reversed.[38]

Folks, this is a ploy by Microshaft to eliminate online gaming unless you're using Microsoft's software and hardware. Pay to play, so to speak. The lies thrown about that PC will be released later because of piracy is a bunch of bullshit. I did some research (cuz I'm not a console fag) and I saw that on "certain" websites you can download a torrent of MW2. In fact, with the PC version available for torrent there are more torrents for MW2 for each console platform than there are for PC. Anyone who thinks that these kids today don't have computers and can't figure out how to pirate games for the console are stoned. And then there's "chip"ping a console so you can defeat copy protection, etc.

The powers that be are trying to wean people off of dedicated servers so that it's no longer free to play. Plain and simple.
