Bloody pirates!

Pirates should be hung, drawn and quartered.
No exceptions.

Sorry guys but if your telling me you've never downloaded anything illegally of the internet, and i dont just mean games, anything.

Multiplayer is where the devs should be concentrating on protection since that is where the long-term players will be. Make it frustrating enough for pirates to get on the servers (if possible) and many of them will buy it when it's cheap enough.

I am very glad that solidshield has been removed, though. This would have become a very annoying thorn in the side of this forum as people began to get locked out their game.

And a lot of the people that download them, do infact end up buying the game, because as much as you can play single player, you cant play multiplayer

Once downloaded, installed and all, start playing and find out it's crippled. That's how strong protection works now. As was reported earlier, none of those copies work properly.

I haven't watched any of them. I don't even have the game yet. But it's annoying that people are pirating this game so freely, when we know how much work is being put into it. It's also annoying that i search for new CloD videos to enjoy, and all i get in results are these videos made by dickheads.

There must be something that can be done to these people?

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Oh OK I still download music from frostwire and an occasional movie so sue me.

I have every intention to buy CloD in USA when its done being optimized...whenever that is!

There are a number of copies floating around that have the first patch included. The game can't be played on-line and most of the people I know here in the states that have it already pre ordered. So its kinda like they already paid for it and get to experience a buggy start to what is going to be a great game.

And honestly the game didnt have a demo, so this is not all that bad IMHO. Besides most of them just wanted to see if it would run on their rig, BEFORE the 19th so they could get the needed upgrades in time, to more enjoy the US release.


and if none of that put your angers to rest. Well pirating is just what happens when you have release dates that are a MONTH apart.

To be honest at first I was upset when I saw US getting CLod last but after this whole fiasco with code problems I'm not so mad. ITs like the early buyers are doing beta testing. Still not sure what hardware this is gonna need till they done patching and optimizing code. I hope it doesnt take all summer. Maybe they can get the ROF programmer to help out for some cash!!

Or maybe ROF could swap anti stutter optimization for some decent netcode. Just sayin'.
