It wont accomplish anything and Activision will try to turn it around saying piracy is the reason they fucked up the PC version when in fact the reason it will be pirtated so much is because they and IW fucked up the PC version

Sometimes those people do understand what is going on. For example after all those protests about their other games EA and Bioware decided not to use securom for Dragon Age: Origins.

If you actually know the song, its a damn good song, regardless of rather you like Eminem. Its a damn good workout song at the minimum.

First one was quite plausible.

Oh god....somebody went stupid in texas and now we have to pull any and all references to violence away from the public!

The world is not a happy place, it is not a disney movie. And you are taking the storyline of a VIDEO GAME far beyond what it should be taken to.

Its a game. A freaking video game. Dont take it so freaking seriously. Its a fun little escape from the world where, for a few hours, you play a badass. Its not real life. And if anything, its technically for people 17 and older. I hope a 17 year old can make a distinction between a video game and the real world.

I didn't say it wasn't. I just can't imagine a simple terrorist organization throwing the world into World War III over the death of a single man.
World in Conflict did that, why didn't it get as overhyped as Modern Warfare II? Sorry, but the story has been done a dozen times before, the gameplay isn't anything new(judging from the videos) and unless they fixed the exploits in multiplayer, it won't be much of an improvement.

True, but there are games and then there are tasteless games. There is probably a game-concept that would be offensive to you as well, for example a "pedophile simulator". You might not think too well of someone who plays such a game, so don't be surprised if other people aren't happy when you play a game that simulates terrorist attacks on crowds of civlians.

You cant blame IW for that, Or the release date or anything, Its just pure coincidence that it happened when it did. And Stalker< Ive read that you will still be able to have custom servers, its just, they wont be private servers hosted by other people, it will all be hosted by IW

[Cheese!]

But with no mod tools, who's gonna develop the mods? IW?

[computernerd]

I might buy it for the SP, but not for $60; maybe after a while when it's down to only $30.

They don't want us to make mods. Activision can't charge us for mods or maps that we make, but they can charge us for official DLC content and that is the main reason IMO for this entire no dedi servers, no mods, no customer maps bullshit

If I get a console for Christmas, I'll buy it then. But not for the PC. It's not worth the $60.

Hmmm, needs more lens flares. >____>
