MW2 Multiplayer Review

I've been looking for a story that looked specifically at the multiplayer aspect of MW2 on PC, and I finally found one. It looks like the majority of the skepticism on our (the PC community) parts was justified and the experience has definitely suffered for it. Now, granted, this is one person writing about their own experiences, but I feel that the content of the write-up shows that they have the background and knowledge to write on this subject intelligently.

The gist of it is that we were right to be concerned and that MW2 should not be our new destination for competitive multiplyer on the PC.

God damn it... Oh well, I guess its nice knowing I have an extra 50... wait, make that 60 dollars in the account.

PS. Curious if any of you out there have been playing it and what your take on it is (PC version specifically)

I've not bought it for very good reason, I simply would not be able to connect to any servers, I have enough problems even with dedicated servers.

That said, scanning around the internet, people are having very mixed reactions to it. Live in an area where lots of people would be playing and you have a fast connection? It's fine. Live in a quiet area or have an average connection? Expect it to be nearly unplayable most of the time.
Is there an easy to way to organize a match between a specified group of people?

If that's a no, than this is still a no go for anyone interested in serious competitive play.

Looks like its a no for me regardless, though. I'm in Hawaii (= shitty connection) and moving to Korea in April (=probably a fantastic connection, but still too far away from anyone playing this). So yeah, sounds like it would be a bad experience for me.
I have the PC version and I think the Multiplayer is fine so far. I will be writing a post about it soon, so look for it.
I saw the guys at giantbomb did a review of the PC copy, first they didnt have any idea of what they were talking about, they are so console players those guys that i dont even know how they do to manage a website. I mean, lots of people point that out because of the videocomments they did while playing: they didnt knew what they were talking about.
Mr. Gertsmann should have his head inspected because he says a lot stupid thicially regarding PC. I think it is because he does not get it.

The point is that it wasnt working ok, the iw network is like a p2p: I host if I have the big machie with the BIG BANDWITH, if not, screw you. Plain and simple.
