Max player count for PC cut down from 32 to only 18 players per server.

To sum it up

We thought the lack of dedicated servers was bad, but now we can add the lack of console commands, the inability to have a say in who hosts the game, a lengthy pause while the game migrates to a new host if the currently selected host quits, no leaning, no option to record matches, and no way to kick or block trouble players, hackers, or cheaters.

Oh, and only 9 vs 9.

Good job IW...way to kill the PC following for your game. Hope they go bankrupt.

Seriously, I nearly cracked and bought it today (because of some of the awesome SP video) but fuck them. I'm watching the hacking and modding community to see what they do and I'm gonna get my SP fix on Bittorrent.
