That will make a whole community to explode in anger.

So, how many versions of Windows were released in a similar condition? Even the best software developers are fallible; Windows ME and Vista are very good examples of their versions of 'Betaware' and are testament to the best being human. People paid good money to Microsoft for those too (and more money than you paid for COD, incidentally). I just feel that people need to get some perspective here.

Nobody's stopping you from helping Luthier out here (and that goes for all of you other people queueing up to take a pop at him when is doing his best to make a bad situation good). If we could replace criticism and trolling with talent and help he'd get things finished so much quicker.

I can't believe the number of software 'experts' there are in here...... although I've yet to see code snippet suggestions to Luthier in threads, instead of script edits.... I freely admit I am no games coder but I sense a witchhunt is in progress and that ultimately, Luthier and Co. could be on a hiding to nothing....
