Anyway.. who said anything about anonymous modders? I seem to remember mentioning at least three teams in the above post... one of which are now officially sanctioned as patchers and the other two are much beloved of the simming community. There are also countless games out there that were abandoned as an absolute mess and saved by the modding community.

Do you really believe, that someone not intimately involved with the software, is able to fixe the core-code (crash to desktop), the net-code (stutters) and develope a less demanding weather-system when not even the developers are able to this easily?
Of course there a well known teams, working successful on a more than 10 year old software, but the CoD software is a) new, b) different and c) more complex.
Also the SDK release is already announced, but that still leaves the higher complexity level as a hurdle before something worthwile will come from this direction.
Be it as it may, but please dont anybody gives the modders the same attitude MG is getting here, or there wont be any.
