Well some more bad news for PC Gamers that were even still hinting at the idea of getting Modern Warfare 2 as it would appear its multiplayer amount is capped at 9v9. Check it out:
PC gamers may find one more reason to grumble about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, as Infinity Ward has confirmed that the maximum number of players in the game's multiplayer mode has taken a hit from 32 to 18.
A max of 18 players has been the norm for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of previous entries Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: World At War, but it's considerably less than previous iterations for the PC. Infinity Ward's Mackey McCandlish and Vince Zampella confirmed that 9 versus 9 multiplayer battles would be the max going forward to the chagrin of a few PC gamers already feeling burned by the switch from dedicated servers to the IW.net service...
We can only hope this hurts sales because if companies like Infinity Ward continue to hurt its core fans and those that derived from the PC then they should be punished as well.
