Publisher Activision has revealed that PC Modern Warfare 2 will be Steamworks powered, which is the ”hands down leader” for community focused offerings and experiences.
This allows Infinity to support fans ”much more than ever before” says Rob Bowling. Modern Warfare 2 is the most ”feature-rich” PC title from developer Infinity. Includes Steam Cloud.
”Steamworks will make it possible for us to have a closer connection to our fans, and enable us to support our community much more than ever before,” said Infinity’s Bowling.
”Steam is the hands down leader in offering a community focused experience on PC and the inclusion of Steamworks has allowed us to deliver the most feature-rich PC version to ever come from Infinity Ward, which at the end of the day will mean the most to our fans.”
Steam Cloud is Valve’s virtual space for storing user settings and data like keyboard mapping and configurations, which can then follow the Steam accounts wherever they go.
Currently the PC version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is in hot water with the PC gamer community, and has been ever since it was announced to be dedicated server-less. Instead users will connect with IWNet, Infinity Ward’s own match hosting system.
There’s some more information on Steamworks over on Valve’s website. Does this announcement soothe, or shake your confidence in PC Modern Warfare 2?
