Im getting really pissed off with the people who make Call of Duty after COD3. They just turned into morons. COD4 was playable I guess could have been better but could have been worse but COD5 was horrible (apart from the epic ending) and I think Modern Warfare 2 will be the same.

How dare they try and raise the price and think people should raise to their level. Screw them. Honestly they should all be put in a firing squad and shot.
if im not mistaken, there are 2 developers, they trade off, mw1 was made by infintry ward, waw was made by ubisoft or some other developer, hence why 5 was crap and mw2 is being looked to as good

From what I've seen, Activision seem to have taken over from EA in the 'Biggest Publishing Twat (tm)' competition. There's still a huge backlash against them with Prototype, which was released with a host of sound bugs on pc which still haven't been fixed, while the PS3 version has a minor installation bug which was fixed within days. The Activision forums are full of people threatening to boycott the company, and I can't say I blame them...

Ahem. That's just not fair! I have always brought games, I don't download them and I'm getting punished for it? Well bollocks I say. Well they've just lost a customer. Internet piracy here I come.
Weakling.
Trolling much?
Maybe I am ? Maybe I'm not.

Maybe I'm behind you with an axe ?

Nah, I just think that illegally downloading games is badong (note: badong = bad + wrong = badong)

That being said, I too think it's wrong, hence why I went back and changed my original message after I'd cooled off. I don't download the games, if they're too expensive I just don't buy them, or wait for a pre owned copy.

Well, there's always Amazon.com and other online merchants that usually offer games at a lower price...

I hated modern warefare world at war was good (I know dont bust my chops over the same engine the world at wars engine improved bugs and other issues from modern warefare but thats not my beef) my beef is that CoD has always been a ww2 thing and I liked it, modern war seem much more... boring I guess, kill terrorists, what else? sure not too different from kill nazis but hell, I found ww2 much more intersting

Because I refuse to pay £55 for any game I will buy it when the price goes down but Activision can fuck off if they think I'm buying it at launch.
Honestly I think you're being a bit of a pansy. New Zealand pays $140 RRP for a game like that. And i still buy them.

Is this just the console price? The link doesnt mention specifics but I am assuming it is about the consoles as it states the regualr price is £40, where for a Pc game its £25-30.
IF the Pc version is still cheap, then all I have to say is owned.

I work - I buy the game - I enjoy the game.
This.
Honestly, I think it's pretty reasonable for something you're going to be spending 20+ hours on per week, it's a price-rise yes but it's also going to be a damn good game.
I mean I can spend triple that amount on a night out in the town and that only lasts one night.
Stop being so cheap - if you want the game that badly, buy it and stop whinging... or start whinging to your parents so they'll buy it.

$140?!?!
You poor Kiwi you, the highest I've seen in Aus was $120 for Bioshock on PS3.
Still, you're right - if you want the game that bad, it's only an extra $40 for something that brings you many joys ^_^

(p.s $55 pounds is basically equivalent to $140 NZ Dollars, if you're interested)

But isn't that just because of poor New Zealand currency exchange? I'm not sure I'm no economist but I guess if you were to make that comparison you would have to see what the average wages are in each country, say if on average Kiwis are payed 3 times more than British people then I could say that you were being ripped off, but if we were payed the same well I would tell you to grow a pair :D

Oh screw them to hell. "Crisis" my ass, those guys own WoW.

£8.50 a month

12 million players approx

8.50 x 11 000 000 = £102 000 000

One-hundred-and-two million GBP a month, on top of everything else, and being the largest game producers isn't enough to keep the prices the SAME as EVERYONE else?

What twats.

Precisely. It's not like the game is going to dissipate once you complete it. No - it's gonna stay with you until you mess it up.
