That would depend on your definition of abandoned. We have no idea how many things will be fixed in COD before the release of the Sequel. IF you only plan to buy COD and never any of the Sequels, you will have a version of the game very few people will have. There is little hope they will support that version after the Sequels released. If the Sequel is successful, there will be continual support for the latest versions from the developer and community modders, and COD will only get better. Although its possible community modders could support the standalone COD, but its highly unlikely there will be enough of the community using that version.

David,

OK, just that it appeared your post quoted me with ne referance to what your comment was aimed at, just confuddled me a tad...

I've got to say, this forum is a very strange environment for a 'company' forum.

The fact that most active participants are largely people who seem to hate the game, hate the developers and look for every opportunity to attack them makes it no surprise that Luthier doesn't post here very often.

'Freedom of speech' is a human right but it is not a private company forum right. If that is the rationale for allowing these boards to have become such a negative place than it is surely misguided.

Of course Luthier shouldn't say I will reply on Friday and then disappear. But communications here are poisoned because of the reason above.

You're right about the poision but I think it's a lot more complicated than that, and much could be cured not only by the devs fixing various elements, but fixing the line sof communication. Taking them seriously, for example. No, they dont owe anyone a living, but they do have a lot of ground to make up if the y want to sell more games IMO. If they dont, then I'd suggest they carry on as they have been.
