Infinity Ward delivered another blow to the potential PC-user base of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in announcing that multiplayer would be capped at 9v9, like the console. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, with dedicated server support, allowed matches with up to 32 players.

“The max number of players on all platforms are 1v1 through 9v9. This is the number of players we focused on when we were balancing map size, perks, classes, challenges, etc.,” explained developer Mackey McCandlish in a developer chat from Tuesday, November 3rd.

Large clans for MW2 on PC can plan on playing in separate games with this news.
