You do know not everyone has capable computers to play MW2?

Not everyone has capable consoles to play it either.  What's your point?

If you own a $200 360 or $300 PS3, you can play MW2. Put disc in. Select disc. See logos. Play.

If you own a PC with sufficient hardware specifications, and the latest video drivers, not to mention Windows updates and service packs, you might have a chance of being able to run it with an official Infinity Ward patch, after fiddling with some of the files.

I miss the days when PC gaming was good, and not all about hardware requirements, massive installs and stability patches.

when was that exactly? there were patches even back in the DOS days, and you did need hardware requirements, and massive installs, for that time frame. back then, 100 MB hard drives were a big deal, and so was 8MB of memory, not to mention the VESA 2.0 requirements for a lot of games, and if you didn't have a Sound Blaster AWE 32, your music sounded like shit in general. PC gaming always has been PC gaming, hasn't changed then, not gonna change now, and I fucking love it since gaming is only a part of what I do on my PC since I'm also a power user. If you only buy a fast PC for gaming, that's questionable, but if you use it for other tasks, the overall value, performance, and flexibility will always be much higher rated than consoles, because consoles are consoles.
