They just did their math and decided it's the right decision. I play Team Fortress 2 quite often and I know for a fact that removing the opportunity to play modified servers from time to time would make my experience with that particular game far less enjoyable. It's a double edged sword and will either make the PC counterpart a complete detracter or end up as an example that sacrafices have their benefits."

The added perks and new modes simply aren't enough to compensate for the features they've so unnecessarily removed...If I weren't such a stickler for keyboard+mouse controls, and didn't have such a nice PC (the only two reasons existent for purchasing the PC version), I would trade this in for the 360 version in an instant. I really wish Infinity Ward hadn't so blatantly ignored the PC market which I've been so heavily invested in my whole life."

The experience is energized by new perks and kill streaks, but Infinity Ward practically killed everything that made COD4 for the PC such a huge success. Of course different people may be looking for different things, but regardless, the longevity just isnt there."
