I didn't buy MW3, and was hoping this one would be closer to the original Blops than it is. Oh well. I'm sure I'll still play quite a bit.
Can we discuss this? What are you missing out on if they designed it for console first? I guess just fill me in on the ups and downs.
Also let me throw in my prospective. I know a lot of people buy the game from steam, but I like to have a physical copy of my own for most games. Also when you have a gift card to Best Buy and not Steam, its hard to pass that up. So I reserved my PC copy from Best Buy. I went in the store to pick it up yesterday and they had a huge cart behind the cash wrap with tons of pre-ordered Call of Duty Games, some were the special edition but most were just rows and rows of XBOX 360 and PS3 versions. They asked me which platform my pre-order was on and I said "pc" they were like "ohh... uhh.,,..hmm" and started looking all around the cart, then they went behind some wall, came back three minutes later and asked a co-worker about the PC ones. The co-worker told the guy to go into the back and look for it. He goes to the back of the store, and comes back about another 10 minutes later and says.. "Is this the one you are looking for". I look at it and it says PC. Then the lady next to him, tells me that I am the only person to come pick up a copy on PC, both at the midnight release and that entire day yesterday (that she saw), until the point that I got there.
So you can understand why the game might be made to be less PC oriented. I would say PC might be only 20-30 % of their entire sales, AT BEST. I mean, there were already cracked copies floating around on torrent sites as of last night.
I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice if the game would be designed with pc players in mind, but I'm just sharing my experience with my getting my copy.
