Modern Warfare 2 iPhone App

It seems that MW2 has yet to receive a decent companion app that tracks stats as World at War had. It's obvious that there are loads of differences between Treyarch and Infinity Ward, and the companion app is one of many.

There is no debating that MW2 has crisp graphics and a fast-paced multi-player experience, but not being able to sign-in to the web or a companion app on your phone to check your stats and compare with friends seems like a serious oversight on the part of Infinity Ward. Afterall, it is 2010 and we are all supposedly playing one of the most "state-of-the-art" video games of this century. So why no iPhone app or even a website to check your stats on?

It seems that IW was trying to fit so much into this game that it resulted in a product that was rushed to market and required patches day 1 and MANY more after that...so maybe the programmers and testers are burned out and just want Treyarch to come out with the next game already to get the monkey off their back.

Don't get me wrong, I love MW2 and have logged some serious time...and obviously others do too. I recently heard that divorce rates are even going up because fellas are playing this game so much their women friends can't take it any longer...so obviously IW has made a captivating game. But why not captivate your base even further with a companion app and/or a website that tracks stats as well (just like Treyarch did with World at War)...and what Treyarch was able to leverage off of their companion app was an eventual release of the top grossing iPhone app, Call of Duty World at War Zombies...which I must say, is probably the truest port of a console game to the iPhone ever.

I won't even get into why we haven't seen DLC maps or why the PS3 is getting them 30 days later than the XBOX folks...yet.

So what are your thoughts?
