Lol..

Whatever keeps everyone happy I guess, it's not my forum.

Just make sure Nearmiss based on your reasoning that if someone even after all this time decides they have had enough of this or that and vents on the titles forum (watch this space after next patch...maybe)

That when they are jumped on by the same "I wear CoD underpants to bed' gang they get the same treatment with their whines on how the title wasn't broken....(you know how the rest goes) with their constant drips which then instigate an argument which inevitably gets someone a ban.

I've been banned once also and lately seem to be posting stuff of no use when before I've helped and added positive info to this community but it's starting to seriously p me off with the one sided stick being waved around here.

A 'lol' and a 'rofl' doesn't make you any better or disguise your postings which then label you to the exact specifications that Nearmiss has pointed out.

But your on the good side so your protected

Jamz I know one of the mods (no points for guessing which one ) and he is doing a good unbiased job (so far ), you can't tell me that your not sick of the same ppl coming back here spouting the same story like its a terminal disease they have... That said your right about the "fanboys" but don't worry I am sure some of them are heading towards a ban as well.

No "side" is protected!

All the mods have been unbiased to there credit, and the fanboys cause as much trouble for them as the haters.

(okay okay that's my brown nosing done for the day )

Yea guess your right in the taking sides bit, just seems a lot like that lately.

The troublemakers here are on both sides and they should all be dealt with the same way like you say.

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.

the damage klem??

i think its a little short sighted of the mods to quell this so called "whining" by banning and censorship, without this "whining", more and more people may start to think that clod is worth buying in its current state, which will mean there is a larger base of people to "whine" when they install the game and see it in all its glory.

it should be taken off the shelves until it is fixed.

[JG52Krupi]

Come on rep you know that would cause more moaning, the game does work for some ppl...

There working on the game that's enough for me...

What really shows what klem said is true is when you look at the suggestion thread... There are a lot of ppl putting there 2 pence in but you don't see many of the whiners posting there... They would rather moan.

[robtek]

Syn_repent,

CoD IS worth buying in the current state!

People with actual Hardware and real problems are a minority.

Missing features and current bugs are being fixed right now.

Taking it off the shelves would only reduce the probability to get all fixes.

Repent, if people are going to decide whether to buy CoD or not based on reading this forum it will be clear to them from the specific 'bug report' threads and a hundred or more other discussion threads that there are problems to be resolved. That situation isn't hidden from anyone but most new customers probably don't even know this forum exists. If they did, they would soon see, if they can pick through the eternal ping-pong wreckage that has submerged virtually every thread Ilya and now BlackSix have posted, that there is a plan, it will take time and they can choose to try it or wait.

CoD being on the shelves is a matter for the retailers and yes it would avoid disappointment for some people (see robteks post) if they didn't know about it yet and didn't buy it yet but if CoD were formally 'withdrawn' by MG/UBI it would almost certainly mean the end of the game and the series. IMHO its better for MG to show commitment to CoD and its sequels.

Are the people that constantly flame any person new or old expressing how they feel...are they too 'short sighted' Klem

Both as bad as one another..

And another thing, don't think that this forum would sway a decision on wether a game is 'backed' or not for future work/releases, that's horse crap. Reviews do that for you not forums, forums just attract or deter posters and occasionally the buyers.

I agree with some of you post but not that bit..

Forums are not to wrap people up in cotton wool or in this case a game..forums have never been like that and they never will be.

They are for info good or bad, and the repetitive postings about the same old thing comes from both sides..you start to police anyone new or old to here or the game then you've got a problem right there..

The reason certain people don't post here is because they get attacked personally which is wrong and out of order not because your hearing the same stuff over and over again which are real life experiences from new players as well as old
