What this game doesn't need is more terrible PR, and repeating old, well known complaints is just that!

This is one of the most important points.

Putting aside my personal irritation at having to read the same old complaints all the time, its like listening to kids singing "I know a song that'll get on your nerves", there is a very real risk that MG's backers (you don't really think they're afloat on CoD's current income do you?) will decide there is no market for CoD if the customer base, expressed through this forum, shows itself to be constantly at war with MG over CoD.

It's not a question of 'fanboys' as some short sighted people see it. It is in fact a real worry that CoD will get ditched because there isn't the support for it and the "SoW" series. That's why you find people like me putting up a robust defence of the current situation and MGs efforts in putting it right. We're trying to show there is a very real interest in CoD and that we are prepared to wait while it is being re-built, giving the "SoW" series and its backers a future.

I don't suppose that anyone on these forums really wants CoD to die but you could be forgiven for thinking that is exactly what they want if you just go back and look at some of their constantly repetitive negative posts. I wonder if they realise the risk such constant attacks could have on CoD's future. Perhaps they can't see past the 'fun' of constantly annoying the rest of us, or being so determined to be proved 'right', that they can't see the damage they may be doing.
