This could be great (multiplayer-wise) but I seriously, seriously doubt IW is going to seize the opportunity to make a great PC game. All the imbalances are likely to remain alongside the maps that are too f**king small to be anything more than a mindless spawn rape festival of boredom. Then again, with vehakals maybe they'll be big enough that people have room to move. I mean, damn -- can you imagine CoD4 with maps where an entire team isn't trapped in the corner the duration of a match?
One of the changes to "balance" they're making is to nerf the M16. This might be great for console since the game is super slow and the game's autoaim made it instagib, but the M16 was crappy enough on PC simply by being anything other than full-auto, so now it'll probably not be worth using at all. If they make more console-centric changes the game will be even worse than CoD4 as far as online balance is concerned. D:
