With FPS being born on the PC maybe the average PC gamer can see that this is a game made from the bottom up for the 360/PS3 .
no Mods, no dedicated severs, substandard multi-player (for PC)
Is anyone surprised really ?

Hey Edge. Rumours abound on the net that Forza 3 online is looking very bad, less than a 1000 online with it at any one time due to the 'hopper system'. A story there perhaps?

Or perhaps PC gamers are less receptive to another overpriced iteration on a game type that has been around for the best part of 20 years. I'm one of them - after 11 years of playing Counter-Strike and Team Fortress my appetite for another multiplayer shooter is slightly dulled.
