i like how it has a crappily modded xbox game cover but complaining about things that were never included in any console game

i have no doubt its fun on the 360. I'm sure it has a very fun SP, and a decent MP. However, I refuse to purchase it because I'm tired of the shit IW pulls in every game they develop. Shitty admin tools (assuming there are even dedicated servers), no patches for any bugs, and overall shit. IW doesn't care about the people who buy their games. I guarantee if Valve, or another company that actually gives a shit about the people who purchase their games, made MW2, and got the same huge petition that IW got for dedicated servers, we'd all be playing it right now, on a TTP server.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm enjoying it on console...a lot.

I think I understand where we stand (not just you and I, but in general).

Kinda like the two different types of people who go to the movies. One goes to be entertained, the other sits and critiques every movement and if it isn't near perfect, then it's a flop.

But if the movie studio is capable of putting out something magnificent, then they release something subpar compared to their previous work....

I am removing anybody on my friend's list who plays this game. I don't care if you're my mother. If you support this game and this company then you might as well support the downfall of superior PC gaming.

Fucking casuals

If I had the $$$ I'd get it just to piss you off

That aside, if you guys want to brown nose other members and make yourself feel special by following the crowd and downing the game, then by all means go ahead, but I have a feeling you'll be missing out. Just b/c the game won't make coffee or give you an orgasm, doesn't mean it is a pile of poo. I liked COD4, and I'm sure I will like this game.

Don't buy into the TTP bias against IW.

+1 Agreed

Yet it's still selling millions...

For a reason.

Just because something sells, it doesn't mean that it isn't crap.

....millions of people bought Furbies too

I understand that, however a lot of people here are talking shit about it simply because they've read what everyone else said. Obviously you can come to a conclusion about admin support and limited multiplayer facets if they are obviously flawed in the game description (which appears to be the case), but that doesn't mean all aspects of the game are crap.
