I was never hyped up about Modern Warfare 2 and I don't intend on buying it either. Now I guess most of you have seen the steam news of the 'Free weekend' MW2 is having. I thought to myself, what the heck I'll try it anyway. So yesterday I downloaded it and waited until today to play as it was still locked then. The first error popped up; 'couldn't find localization.txt'. Alright. After a google search and manually putting the file in, I tried running it again. Another file missing, this time you can't add it in manually. So after returning to the site I found help from, I found out that I have only downloaded 1/3 of what you actually need to play. I've already downloaded 5.7gb and apparently there's another 8gb to go. By the time I download that, the free weekend's over.

I've deleted all content and went to TF2 instead

You're not missing out on anything. If it had dedicated servers, you definitely would be, but matchmaking sucks all the quality out.

Which is why Xbox 360 version still kicks ass. Consoles typically don't support use of dedicated servers, matchmaking makes things easy on consoles, and you can still get together and play private matches with friends.
PC lose, console win.

Not to mention consoles don't get viruses and force you to use Linux disabling you from playing games until you've fixed the problem... >_>

But in defence of the PC version, the console versions don't even manage to run in native 720p and are ugly as sin.

Console lose, PC win!

PC's get viruses because of the user themselves.

Uh. Saw, consoles use matchmaking too. As in, the exact same system. Everyone loses.

I know they do, but PC users expect dedicated servers. It was never an issue for console users.

PC is good for everything. It's the best.

Consoles loose forever.
PCs win for another amount of years until they are replaced with something better :)
