Does anyone seriously think, given the state of the forums now, that a further delay of 6+ months would be accepted?

There will always be fans who are patient enough, but the vast majority will not. It's dangerous to make assumptions that COD's recovery would be inevitable no matter how long it takes to be put right. In 6 months time I dread to think what level of customer base they would have held on to. Once things reach a certain critical state it is likely to be impossible to recover.
