MW2 Protest

It won't be surprising if the trend continues, honestly - there's huge money in gaming, and most of it is on the consoles, not the PC.

Don't forget that PC gamers supported COD, COD2 and COD4 and helped make IW into what it is today. IW supported PC gamers greatly with COD4 giving PC gamers everything they needed to distinguish the PC version from the console version (dedicated servers, mods, free maps etc). There are still more PC gamers on XFIRE playing COD4 rather than MW2 even though COD4 is 2 years old now. I only hope that in the next version of COD IW has added all the features COD4 had back into the game for PC players.

True, but supporting a vendor by buying their game doesn't mean they owe the community anything other than the game that was paid for. Ultimately, the company (in this case, InfinityWard as a subsidiary of public company Activision) has an obligation to make money as a for-profit entity, and satisfy the desires of shareholders (aka more profits and better dividends). I understand the angst that PC users have with regards to MW2, but honestly gamers don't have a "right" to anything - dedicated servers, things staying as they used to, etc. Ultimately, IW designed a game for consoles first and the PC second, and it was by all accounts a smash hit. Did they get some bad press and some folks not buying the game due to some of their decisions? No doubt. Did it matter in the grand scheme of things? Not really.

What is the moral of the story? As is always the case, if there's a huge amount of money to be made doing something <way x>, and only a very small vocal minority oppose it and want things done <way y>, a for-profit company is very, very, VERY likely to do things <way x>. If you're holding your breath for IW to go back to the "old way" when the new way is at least as profitable in sales and is easier/cheaper than the old way, you probably should stop or you'll pass out from lack of oxygen.

Wow that's worse than SecuROM!

It would be, if there was any truth to it. Even the link he posted showed it wasn't the case (false positive from one particular vendor), and that information was there by the time he posted it....

Like nitropuppy already said, you have slow laptop onboard video, and there's not much you can do about it.

It has Intel GMA 4500MHD onboard video which is quite bad for games (even for onboard video). It gets 697 in 3dmark06, whereas fairly popular video cards (available under $100, nothing extreme) like the nvidia 8800GT and 9800GT score about 12000 (not quite 20 times faster).

If you look at some benchmarks around the web like this, you'll quickly see it's inadequate for the vast majority of recent games (even with the settings on the lowest level) e.g. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Unreal Tournament III, Left 4 Dead, F.E.A.R. 2... But it'll run some older games like Counter-Strike: Source just fine, but that would be a game from 2004. Then again, it's way underpowered for some other games from that era e.g. Doom 3 (also from 2004)
