COD- Modern Warfare 2

What?!?

That's retarded, and doesn't make sense.

All of the systems should allow search filters, and allow you to choose which game you want to join based on those filters (map, # of players, ping, game type (DeathMatch, Sabotague, etc.)...

No company in their right mind would disable those standard filters.

And for the life of me, I can't comprehend why they would want to disable "Favorite" servers.

Say it ain't so.

You get to choose what you want to play (Team Deathmatch, Sabotage....etc) but it places you in a random room with people close to your skill level(pretty sure it checks your kill/death ratio). If you have friends on there, you simply add them to your friends list. When one of them, or yourself, is online....you just invite them to your party or they invite you...then whoever started the party selects the type of game you want to play.

Its really not bad at all, playing with different people is more fun....that way you cant get used to how they play so you never know where people are going.

that exactly how ps3/xbox is.

but the major difference pc has made from console is the ability to have your own server and to control it with admins, changing maps to whatever you want instead of same rotation. adding custom maps custom sounds custom anything. playing with the people you've always played with on other games and not worrying about inviting them or losing someone and having to back out to invite again. almost all successfull pc games were set up like this IE Anything off of steam (CSS/DOD) a lot of ppl dont want to join a random game even if they choose team deathmatch, they want to choose which map they want to play.

I see what ya mean....i used to be a big PC gamer(Beta tested Asherons Call, Everquest, Ultima Online....etc) but stopped playing games forever and picked up a PS3 recently.

Wonder what made them change? Guess it was cheaper to design the game for all platforms the same instead of having the PC games different from anything else.
