I'm not giving anyone excuses.

I'm upset that the game trailers suggested that the game was running perfectly when it was in reality not doing so. But I'm not so out of touch that I think they should have released a trailer full of bugs to be completely honest with people about the current state of the game.

Luthier and Oleg have said, I believe, that they needed to push the game out of the door or it might not have been released at all. This suggests to me that the money for this project was drying up. So I understand what they did. I might be disappointed, but considering how long we've waited for the game, I'd rather wait a year for it to become playable than not have it at all.

I bought the game as soon as it was available to me on Steam. I've pre-purchased other games. I've pre-purchased plenty of games that ended up needing SIGNIFICANT patching to fix issues on lauch. It's a roll of the dice, pre-purchasing. There's no data to go on except advertising that is naturally going to be biased.

I'll be as disappointed as anyone if the game runs poorly on my machine, but I don't think I'm going to start sending the company nasty emails or post angry forum messages scolding them. Buying the game was my choice. No one forced me to do it.

one might also assume that Ubisoft would have been the major obstruction in any attempt to release COD as a 'beta', perhaps it worked well for eagle dynamics who only make flight sims.

Try defragmenting files after each patch.

I agree. Why would they launch a PERFECT game trailer, when the game is nothing like perfect at all. Why didnt they just show the people what they are buying...
But when they are in need of money, they tell a big lie just to make a big sale.
Think about this...
You buy a new car and when you trying to start it, it would not do soo. Because the engine missing a lot of parts... Then you'll need to send the car back so they can fix it.. Wait then 3-5 weeks before you can drive xD

Continue reading my posts. As a consumer, I'm aware of advertising and what it is intended to do. If I can't risk wasting my money, I should wait until there are reviews. That's why we have things like reviews. To save people their money on products that they don't want/need.

Heh, people keep adding to previous posts in edits.

As for this, if you buy a car without doing any research into it, you probably deserve what you get.

And this is assuming you're buying a car that hasn't been released to the public and has never been test driven by anyone outside the company that is making it.

Caveat emptor.
