Have the game now actually but can&#039;t play it... Thanks IW for turning your back on the platform that CoD grew up on. Pretty much 200 000 people has signed the petition now.

Sign!
BTW I think that the reason they removed dedicated servers to prevent cracked servers(Where you can play with pirated copies).
The score system is IMO a guidemark. 7-good, 8-great, 9-awesome, 10-really fucking awesome. I won&#039;t buy anything under 7 and 7-8 are kinda maybes to me and 9 is a pretty sure buy and a 10 is a must buy. And no, there is no perfect game... but almost.
Gamespot don&#039;t have many tens... 6 tens.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The pc-version isn&#8217;t more expensive here in sweden.<br

Why bring the pc version back 2 decades? Even 1987 MIDI Maze supported 8-a-side and that was the first mp 1st prsn shooter invented!9vs9 – a more enjoyable and realistic experience – I’m in a warzone, I’m in Afghanistan where troops are organised into 30-man combat platoons, ‘REALISM’ = absolute minimum of 30 a side capability for those who want it! Got no problem with a 9vs9, hell a 1vs1 is all good if it turns u on! But as an OPTION not as the ONLY choice! - it sure don’t do it for me and my mates anyways!!If I were chief: airstrikes and dogs would be dropped or at least limited CHRIST!, bigger maps + vehicles would be a must, age 3+ deathmatches would be banned, a proper system of rank would be implemented with single shot kills to the leg – lol becoming a thing of the past.. hold on... it just occurred to me... heard of Battlefield anyone? I may just be off 4good this time! - someone plz remind me why I’m gonna stick with IW &amp; Activision’s ‘next gen’ mp console raped game???</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow I’ve been playing cod mp right from the early days and I can’t believe the decision to make the new and improved super sophisticated next-level mp of a brand new 2009/10 cod game a 9vs9 early 90&#8217;s throwback!</p><p>I didn’t realise that the console versions were so far behind in terms of mp ability that it is not possible for more players than those involved in a Sunday league footy match at the park (11vs11!!!) to play against each other! 9vs9 the future? – don’t make me laugh!

They should remeber the reason why we have Call Of Duty, the fact it started on PC. The way the PC community has been teated, they have many people, hardcore fans (the people who actually spend months and months perfecting their skills, who truly love the game) completely and utterly fucked off. You DO NOT treat your fans in this way. Its also the fact that they are &quot;upping&quot; the price and at the same time, offering less to PC gamers. If it was they had &quot;upped&quot; the price and offered dedicated servers than IW and Activision wouldnt be in this situation.I own both a PC and 360, and its situations like this that make me want to sell my PC and then just go back to console gaming, seems console gamin is just getting more love these days =[</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Amazing show guys, keep it going!</p><p>There is only one thing I have to say to Infinity Ward and Activision, I have a copy of the orginal Call Of Duty in my draw.

I am really getting sick of not being able to play with my friends, rather than &quot;online&quot; friends. The demos on PS2 always had local multiplayer and almost every game I played with multiplayer ofcourse on the PS2 has local play. Now it&#039;s just online, online, online. Uncharted 2, I heard only has online play. What&#039;s up with that!?
I really hope at one point, video gaming will be back to proper multiplayer.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>hey, my epic battle cry is about how online is overshadowing the local play types.

isPermaLink="false">http://epicbattleaxe.com/?p=8432#comment-5864</guid> <description>On topic of companies making these dick decisions, I just wanted to say that none of these protests are going to do shit unless people actually act on them and stop paying the companies for screwing with them.There have been some DLC that is so outrageous that it should be illegal. One &quot;DLC&quot; has you pay to unlock content that&#039;s already on the game disc you&#039;ve already purchased! Others require you to buy their Multiplayer component, or pay for something so ridiculous that it should be a fun free unlockable somewhere in the game. And people buy those like it&#039;s crack.I was talking about it in a forum before and I had everyone agree with me but be like: &quot;I just bought the Bethesda&#039;s Horse Armor because I love Oblivion but that&#039;s it, I completely agree with you.&quot; Buddy, if you did that, you don&#039;t agree with me because you don&#039;t know what the fuck I&#039;m talking about in the first place.The fact that the companies screw you over is your own damn fault. The only thing that will make them stop is when they see less profit. That is the one and only thing that these companies understand. Otherwise, they will continue testing how much they can get away with because they can afford it, thanks to us.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On topic of companies making these dick decisions, I just wanted to say that none of these protests are going to do shit unless people actually act on them and stop paying the companies for screwing with them.</p><p>There have been some DLC that is so outrageous that it should be illegal.

Hello Brent, Tony and Sir Puncalot(pronounced ofcourse as Punsalot ;) )
At first i wanted to rant on my Battlecry about Modern Warfare 2. But you know what......FUCK &#039;EM. Serouisly, I have had it with the BS around the game and I am going to give them the silent treatment... Well okay from now on.My real Battle Cry of the week goes out to Assassins Creed Duo (II) or whatever you wanna name it. This game is going to be incredible. They picked up where they left of with the story, i really enjoyed the genetic heritage way to play within the first game, and it only is gonna get better. Who are you, who was your family, why have they kidnapped you etc. Yes AC 1 had it flaws, for example some repetitive gameplay elements, but the story was so well executed, it didn&#039;t bother me for one second. If there is a game that I AM going to buy its Assassins Creed 2. And I dont mean that im going to pirate other games, cause im not :P
Ooh and by the way, that 15 minutes short film, though it was kinda corny portrait, it does bring a bit more life in the background of EzioGreetings from the Netherlands (and NO not Amsterdam :P),

This got me thinking about Sony’s plan, or lack of one, to bring more expressive ways to customize your profile and your themes on the Playstation 3.In firmware update 3.00, they added in Dynamic Themes and the ABILITY to have new avatars, which is a great bunch of new features that PS3 owners have been begging for. It’s been over 2 months since that firmware update, and the most we&#039;ve seen is maybe 4 dynamic themes and zero new avatars. Why is it that when Sony announces a plan it sounds great on paper, but when it comes down to putting it in action, it’s almost always a letdown? For the record, I love my PS3, but I just think Sony needs to treat their customer base with a little more consideration.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fantastic show you guys got here, always love tuning in every week to hear your opinions.</p><p>On last week&#8217;s show, you guys were touching base on the whole Left 4 Dead 2 Avatar rewards system and avatars in general between the Xbox 360 Avatars, and  PS3’s Home.

I won&#039;t start another Modern Warfare 2 flamming session, right now I just wonder if I will be able to change the fucking screen resolution, oh wait, I won&#039;t buy this crap anyway.This is the worst year for PC gamers in history. You don&#039;t need to be an Einsten to see that control is what fuels this industry. With consoles getting networking support, publishers and studios realised that they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, online! Farming DLCs, increasing prices, ads... the list goes on.
Supporting PCs is not viable, not because of piracy, but because you cannot control your player base.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My battle cry goes to all PC gamers, or what is left of them.<br

isPermaLink="false">http://epicbattleaxe.com/?p=8432#comment-5831</guid> <description>My Battle Cry this week goes to EA and as much as I hate to say it Bioware, for finding a new way to detract from a game with DLC. I purchased Dragon Age Origins, even the collectors edition. As I am playing the game I come across a character that is an obvious quest giver. I find out the information on what I&#039;m supposed to do only to ask about the location and then be prompted to download the day one DLC! The only one that is NOT included in the collectors edition. You can not tell me that this was not ready to put on the disk when they obviously went to some work to put this character and dialog option on the disk. It as well was not done so &#039;they can still make something on the pre-played game sale&#039; or it would have been on the voucher card. This is the complete opposite of adding to a game, which is what DLC should be, instead, this tells me that I&#039;m missing something, after I spent the premium price for what I thought was a complete package. I&#039;m not against DLC, especially for a good game to increase its shelf life, I just don&#039;t want to be like I&#039;m being bent over a table because thats what in-game advertising for your DLC sure feels like.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My Battle Cry this week goes to EA and as much as I hate to say it Bioware, for finding a new way to detract from a game with DLC.
