No, just the credibility of a very small and VERY vocal subset of them. Frankly, I'm glad that it's now apparent that they don't speak for the rest of us (if there was ever any doubt).

Umm... 1 player character (out of 4) and I think 2 NPCs out of hundreds returned from COD4. How the hell is that recycling? And if it is, go ahead and try to find me a sequel that DOESN'T recycle. You may have had a point in COD4, when they somehow managed to bring Cpt. Price forward 70 or so...

So a good game selling a bunch of copies proves that 'they' can get away selling garbage? If you're not saying that MW2 was garbage, then the point that you're trying to make makes even less sense. No, what this *does* say to the industry is that, if you make an awesome game, a ton of people...

You're missing one pretty crucial point though: that MW2 is not garbage. You may personally not like it, but 4.7 million other people liked it enough to go grab it on the first day. Even still, I would be wary of the Transformers 2 analogy, but oh yeah, check this out...

So because they took away dedicated servers, pirating the game is an appropriate response? You guys do some truly bizarre mental gymnastics to try to justify piracy, I gotta say. And besides, even within the analogy, IW didn't "strike first". The tons of people who pirated COD4 did. Not...

You realize that nobody's buying the game for the campaign, right? If you think that console people shelled out their money for a 5 hour campaign, then your ignorance is matched only by your delusional sense of elitism. As a fairly avid PC gamer, I don't like people like you because you seem...

both of those parts gave me hell on veteran, but I didn't play on normal so I can't say how much worse it was. Both probably took me about a dozen tries though.

Have you been tactical nuked yet? I haven't, but I don't have much of a problem with it, since if you let someone go on a 25 kill streak you've all but lost the match anyways. Besides, there are way better strategic uses of your third killstreak item than holding onto that on the off chance that...

Retarded hyperbole aside, I don't think anyone has a problem with someone saying "I don't like this change, therefore I won't buy this game." That's what being a consumer is. Even getting a bunch of people together and telling IW/Activision "this is how many people aren't buying your game...

This has nothing to do with porting- that's absurd. The multiplayer setup that you wanted was *already built* for CoD4, and now they're incurring the costs of central servers for a huge playerbase as well. If anything, this move is probably costing them more money in of itself, so to spin it off...

it will also be the most pirated. As most PC gamers I know are doing right now. And PC gamers wonder why Infinity Ward "turned their back" on the PC community. Hahaha, no kidding. If you're going to be enough of a self-righteous asshat to boycott a game because it doesn't give you one...

If you already played MW1, go for Veteran the first time through. It'll be kind of a pain, and you'll die a lot from getting flanked, but it'll be fun as hell and you'll be able to make it through. I went and beat the single player today, and it was actually pretty good- chaotic, and...

Thanks! Seems like a pretty cool gaming community, and I've had a lot of trouble finding places to talk about games that aren't pretty much infested by melodramatic types. I have already had the plot of MW2 spoiled on this forum, but I don't really care anyways, so no big ;)

Not boasting at all- I game on PC too, but mostly with RPGs (which always end up with fubar control schemes on consoles anyways). I prefer some types of games on PC, some on 360, and some on PS3, and honestly I've always thought the fanboyism of PCs/various consoles was pretty retarded. They're...
