Lots of PC gamers are very arrogant. They like to think themselfes like ''Elite Gamers''. Console port is not good enough for them.
Sure, they torrent every COD game like hell, but that doesnt stop them from bitching how IW doesnt care about them

That's a very ignorant comment. It's not simply that a console port isn't good enough (many games on PC are direct ports of the console game), its that features have been removed that have been standard in PC games for many years. It would be like Bungie releasing a Halo game with only local multiplayer and no online, and not all PC gamers are pirates. Piracy on PC is a problem (more than on consoles sure) but that sort of sweeping generalisation is just plain false.

rating a game 1.4????? Seriously????? They are actually trying to tell people the game is worse than Big Rigs???? They are obviously just hating on IW. I understand they removed some features but rating a game 1.4???? 1.4 means almost un-playable

Console gamers are just as bad, if not worse.

Before launch that 6.1 user score for Gears 2 was closer to 1:

Resistance 2, 5.7, again same thing prior to launch, closer to 1:

With PC gamers this scoring of 1.4, whilst silly is all down to being frustrated and not having a suitable place to vent that anger. Can you say the same for the console fanboys? At least PC gamers have a good reason to be frustrated, standard features have been removed for no real reason other than to generate more revenue from DLC in the future.

I believe several things you have seen with MW2 were done to be able to have uniformity in the game development process between the console and PC.  In other words, develop the same product, but release it on the PC also.  Have the online play the same, and map the gameplay to it.  It was done to save on development costs, and have uniformity between platforms.

Ok, in regards to the score for the games, it does appear that Internet fanboys of all stripes are the worst.  Fanboys will end up being fanboys.  This still doesn't reduce the fact that the levels of hatred at the PC version of MW2 is laughably awful.
