Rhetorical, I assume.

Who is this mysterious sect?

And how many games ahve you bought that were as bad as Clod on release? Honestly....? And not just bad o rbarely a barely functioning alpha, but with as many missing features...?

Ver, very few, I would bet.

Where is this mysterious sect that said this? Hardly anyone by any chance....? More straw targets. When you can;t stick to the facts, invent ghost opposition, is that it?

>>just about every Half life game has been released by surprise and had bugs to boot, but for some reason people are trying to convince us the COD devs are in cahoots with Satan. <<

Ah, those mysterious 'people' again.

I dont much like bubonic plague either (those damned bubos...) but it's ot got much to do with this. Nor has your post.

It's a question of degree, as you well know.

Stop trying to imply that this was just 'slightly troubled' release, with a few problems commonly seen elsewhere. It isn't and it wasn't. It was breath-takingly bad.
