So much for all the talk about boycotts against Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's PC port. The Infinity Ward-developed shooter is firmly on top of this week's latest top 10 best selling games (according to revenue) on the Steam download service. Steam is the only place (legally anyway) where one can download and purchase Modern Warfare 2. Other download services like Direct2Drive, Impulse and Gamersgate have decided not to make the game available because they have objected to the game's use of Steamworks's features that are required for the PC version.Valve's zombie co-op shooter Left 4 Dead 2, due to be unlocked at midnight Eastern time tonight on Steam, took the number two sales spot this week. Dragon Age: Origins' regular edition and deluxe edition took the third and fourth spot while Borderlands continues to sell well in fifth position.1. Modern Warfare 2 - Infinity Ward/Activision 2.

top or bottom will not change the hard facts that MW2 is a cheap port and a leap backward in PC online shooters, the 9 vs 9 limit and the lack of dedicated servers makes it a total failure by PC standards. with all the commercials and the hype, it will no doubt sale well, but it will be one of those games who burn fast and die young because it's all hype and no substance, people will soon discover that its just a fake well embellished title. it will never be Battlefield.
