im just gonna keep playing cod4 of course! can’t wait for the galactic warfare mod to be released, that should tide me over till Bad Company 2 comes out :)
what a bunch of trolls get off my internets with your pissweak “boycott” efforts you fucking sellouts Kotaku stop posting about boycotts that dont go anywhere or i may have to boycott you! AHA! (i wont)
I understand the torment, I’m dying to play it. But we all know I will eventually fail. I don’t think a boycott can change the course of the best selling game of all time. I’m trying my best on behalf of my own principals.
I guess what we need is an open source community to develop a true PC cod ‘clone’. Something with modern graphics. Does anyone know if something like this is being tried/developed?
Being in a boycott, they’d probabyl be surrounded by MW2 news and whatnot. This would cause hype for the game to start developing in their minds. Eventually the power is too strong to resist, and they end up buying the game.
This is why no one takes boycotts seriously. Who really believed anybody would pass on the biggest game of the year because of this issue? Whiny butthurt hypocrites.
Everyone there who is ‘boycotting’ MW2, probably also wanted to play it badly. They have been caught up in the hype, and then only at the last minute did IW leave the dedicated servers off.
If you aren’t literally having an orgasm over hearing the name, then I think you’d be able to boycott it quite easily.
I sold my prestige pre-order to someone who wanted it, I played 5 mins of it, thought it was boring and palmed it off. I dont know many others who could do the same.
Pathetic effort. I feel ashamed to even be taking part of this boycott (and no I have not bought the game). They’re not doing us any favours by giving into the hype.

Either that or they just want to complain.

Friday, November 13, 2009 at 12:22 PMJust another reason why people should just enjoy the damn games. All this political stuff needs to go, its ruining enjoyment for everyone.

Friday, November 13, 2009 at 1:25 PMthey still get heard which isn’t a bad thing, they just go and undo it all when they still buy the game on day one

Friday, November 13, 2009 at 1:05 PMThose people are pathetic. I want nothing to do with the removal of dedicated servers so I do not buy this poor excuse for a game.

Boycott ftw?
