Activision removes MW3 video on youtube for too much hate?

[yuval152]

I just saw this topic([link]http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.310617-New-Call-of-Duty-Modern-Warfare-3-Multiplayer-World-Premiere[/link]) and after watching the video(it was uploaded very shortly, because it still had 301 views) i noticed that the video had 2052 dislikes,and after refreshing the page the video was removed by activision.I don't know if it was planned but that's what i think.so,any thoughts?(no rage please)

Activision taking down a Call Of Duty trailer because people are hating on it? FUCKING EPIC!
while i generally dont like seeing games completely fail (becuase people will get fired even though it isnt really their fault) i do hope this is a sign of things to come for this game

 

[Dandark]

This amused me greatly. They had to take it down due to all the hate? Really?
I am torn. I greatly enjoy the fact that they couldn't keep their trailer up due to all the hate, yet it's also dissapointing that they recieve that much. Cod isn't that bad a series, it just gets cloned every year.

I agree with spartandude though and hope this is a sign of things to come in regard to that series which all but destroyed innovation in FPSes. I still don't understand why they didn't just disable comments though, or even better ignore them since youtube is usaully like that.

Cod was good It's just ruined because It has the noob factor. It seems they start off with a game most people would like then go "lets add the noob stuff" Every single game has had some sort of noob thing that would make most gamers rage. Personally that's why I avoid It.

Was it actually the official video? Or just something that had been recorded unauthorised and was therefore infringing Activision's IP? That would explain why people dislike it.
Also why would they remove a video because it had 2000 dislikes?

It was on the official Activision channel.

OT: If you ask me, untill 10 minutes ago there was a very clumsy intern working at Activision. Seeing how the name was 'World Premiere'

I want MW3 to fail hard. Not because I hate Activision, but because I want to know that gamers have a brain and they don't just buy the same old shit every year. It wouldn't be bad to have the similar game every year if that game was actually any good. Activision has to realize that innovation sells, not clones of old games.

hahahahahaha says the guy with ezio as his avi lmfao I may agree with you it just seems hypocrital of people to forget just how many series are truely in fault of this assasins creed is a great example of a series milking the fanbase for money with progressivly less and less upgrades or changes even being made.

Fun is fun, no matter where you have it. If it looks fun, then i will play it and THAT is exactly what being a gamer is all about. Games are for FUN. Innovation isnt a must, nor is bleeding edge tech if i find a product fun.

Have you seen the sales figures for Black Ops? Sadly my friend, these clones do sell. That is why there are so many of them.

The figures say quite the opposite.

I dont necessarily think that CoD is a bad game series, mostly its the community that ruined it for me, too many campers, camping for killstreaks, too many killstreaks active at once, can barely spawn.

CoD's gunplay is just rock solid, and that will never change unless they deliberately screw the pooch. When it comes to FPS games what happens between user input and game feedback is the most important aspect. If something feels "off", then the whole game will fail.

CoD has the core gameplay perfect. They just tend to oversaturate the game with killstreaks, perks and ridiculous weapons that have no place in a multiplayer arcade shooter.

i hope that thing sinks like a rock not because i hate cod i really like modern warfare 2 but because i don't need another cod game and maybe they could finally make another sequel to battlezone becuase that game was far more awesome then cod

Given that it sold more in the first 24 hours than a lot of games have since they were released, I think they can quite definitely say that it does sell.

 

[CleverNickname]

CoD perfect core gameplay? CoD is the not-so-shining example of everything that's wrong with shooters. Nothing of what constitutes CoD core gameplay should be in a shooter. Ugh.

No, inovation doesn't sell, fun sells. I would rather purchase something with the same mechanics I've seen twelve times before that blows me away with how enjoyable it is, than the most inovative and unique game ever that makes me want to tear out my eyeballs with rage because of how dull and frustrating and poorly made it is. I think anybody sane would say the same (can't confirm it though).
