Thanks to Naz for posting this link the other day.
You're all aware of the situation with MW2 I've no doubt. That said, as (un)popular as it is, very few gaming publication writers are actually TALKING about it. Sure, they state the facts, but the majority of 'text' about what crap it is mainly comes from people like us, who leave 'replies' to their general news stories. Ya follow what I'm saying, right?
Well, "Josh McCarther" has stood up, and posted a very well-written "blog" on the 1up.com site. I encourage you all to take a moment (or 10) and read it.

I checked my server IM's, a place where naz frequently contacts me when there is an issue he can't address, or wants to pass something on to me, but my main Xfire (ala gaming rig) is off..
I read it twice, and still thought, "Naz is crazy". Then right before a brief internet outtage here, Uri ALSO sent me an IM, with a link as well..
Folks, I don't even know what to say. If this doesn't get reversed, are we even going to BUY MW2?
If you haven't heard, and this is NO JOKE - IW is NOT releasing any dedicated server, not releasing any mod tools, and basically, essentially forcing the PC to play like a console (what I mean by that is you won't have the free selection to play on any server ya like.. it'll designate you one. Now this whole thing about the designating is still 'gray area', however, the rest is not. It is swear on a stack of Bibles direct word from IW's public relations.
If you have pre-ordered. Get on the phone. Cancel it. Get the word directly to your retail sales company that this is unacceptable. Also - Sign the petition at the Official IW forums (yes, go through the hassle of making an account JUST to post there that you /sign as well). And like Naz and Uri did to me, continue to spread the word about this, or our fun potential times for COD:MW2 = screwed. And back to COD4 / COD5 for us I guess :( (or whatever else is comin down the pike).

New maps / Update 1.6 has been installed on the server. If you can manage to tear yourself away from the re-increasingly popular COD4 lineup we've got going, the new maps have quite a popular buzz going on!
COD4 Custom Maps in the hizzle!!

For those who were not aware, the past few weeks we've been working on switching one of our COD5 servers back to a COD4 server, and set it up with a new mod to run custom maps. I'm proud to announce that it is officially up and running! Any of you who came when short falls caused uncontrollable bleeding, and you weren't able to walk (IE it was crouch only or be punished) I encourage you to return as these issues have been addressed.
With the server now functioning, expect to see a COD4 stats page soon. I realize many of you (self included) will be moving on to cod6 when it comes out, and therefore the stats may not get that much use, but it is fun and worth the braggin' rights!
I'd also like to send a shot-out to all the cKs members who've been poppin out of the woodwork. It's been a true blessing to get to game with so many of you once again. Hope that this is a trend which continues to grow throughout our group :)

Fans of the COD4 Tactical server listen up! A change has been made to the server - We've up'ed the walking/movement speed. Tactical server will now move %50 faster than previously (which puts the numbers almost dead center between what our walk speed WAS, and what stock speed is. So if you're one of the ones who isn't a fan of the really slow/forced speed, stop in and check it out and see what ya think - Comments always welcome in the forums!
