Modern Warfare 2 was voted in.

 

“Modern Warfare 2 and Gears of War 2 will be hosted at LAN 2010.2.”

 

No need to put it on PC, we have it for 360.

We’re talking about PC games here. A CoD PC gamer won’t play it on console and vice versa. It’s not like going from PS3 to XBOX, a PC gamer literally can’t aim at all on a console. And by can’t aim I mean I got laughed at when I went to NCSU’s ODST launch party. If I wasn’t a club officer I wouldn’t have even gone but meh. I’ll tear your *edited* up on either of the PC Halos but on console I can’t hit *edited*. That’s just how it works.

 

Besides, last time we did MW1 on PC and 360 at the same LAN both were successful. Highly, actually.

 

You dodged the point I was making. The claim is that PC gaming on campus is evolving yet from the games that are being voted in it’s more like taking a decade step backwards, SC instead of WC3 and GGear instead of CSS. I mean if you want to push for different games that’s one thing but don’t kid yourself into thinking the games selected are a step forward and don’t pretend you’ve made the best game decision when it comes to attracting the campus PC community to the events.

SC and GG are actually not a step back when you consider the causes of them being voted in.

 

Guilty Gear is the spiritual predecessor to BlazBlue, and BlazBlue’s popularity on campus has been huge, allowing Guilty Gear to finally get it’s foot in the door.

 

Starcraft 2 is due for release sometime this year, and there is a lot of hype for it. I know a lot of people who voted for Starcraft so they can be warmed up and ready for the sequel.

 

Please stop assuming that games like GG and SC are being voted in as jokes and understand that there are reasons people vote for what they do.

We’re not. You are. If people want MW2 on the PC (or any other game for that matter), they can come to the meetings and vote for it.
