Welcome to capitalism and corporate America. Companies have no moral backing; it isn't what's right or wrong, it's about will the wrong cost us money or bad PR?SBC 240Z wrote:Kind of seems like they're just trying to be greedy instead of focusing on fixing existing problems
Yup. The regular release schedule does not lend itself to quality, but like sports games it sure does make a nice cash cow. And with a focus on multiplayer, the players will go where the games are, which means each new edition is a must-have for anyone interested in playing regularly. Then you've got s*** like charging for Elite features on top of the already-stupid $60 game price.RCA wrote:The CoD specific BS can be blamed on Activision.

Now that I agree with 100%...they have become greedy and the way they have handled things so far baffles me. Where are the clan competitions? Why are all of the competitions on cali time? I have wanted to play a few but the fact that I have a job and a life prevents me from wanting to stay up til midnight to win a 16 GB flash drive with MW3 logo on it....SBC 240Z wrote: The people that paid for a premium elite membership should get the DLC at the same time regardless of what system they have because that was the whole point for the service, every other aspect of it is broken and/or pointless.
aahhhhhh so this explains why the server has been acting so stupid lately. i was beyond pissed the other day when i headshot three different people and even heard the bullet hit the helmet and the guy just ran on off like i hit him with a BB gunorangeNblue wrote:The new maps are pretty cool. The last 3 that they've come out with are really good, I think, which is great bc the level design has been kinda flawed so far.
For me this game keeps getting worse and worse as far as lag issues and overpowered weapons. I regularly use the FAD, MK14, and MP7 just to try to keep up with the patterns the programs keep creating. They are trying to make it so that everyone can be moderately descent at the game, which sucks because people with talent to FPS games are getting ruined. I gave up on my KDR a while ago with this one. Now its more about just having the most points at the end of a match...or throwing knifing and quick shotting people to hear the rage...lol
I cannot wait for another treyarch game!! Black ops was the best COD yet, and I hated MW2 so I should've know that MW3 wasn't going to be any better.

Independent servers wouldn't be a bad idea as long as they work. The premium elite service which costs $50 a year should include these type of servers to produce a better gaming experience for its premium members, but low and behold they just took everyones money and kept pumping out insufficient game play
sorry for the pessimistic attitude but I will not be giving infinity ward or sledgehammer my hard earned cash again
