I have boxes of old sims that are incompatable with current systems. It would be unreasonable for me to expect their developers to fix them up so I can play them on my current system.

That the devs would WANT COD to work with Windows 8 is a given. How much time and resources they have available is the big question.

It's is a pitty that Microsoft offers a compatability mode for older software and it looks like doesn't work!.

it not too much to ask for a pretty recent game that is being patched regularly, also seeing as i paid 30 quid for a POS that most of the time didnt work properly, if indeed there to be no win8 support, then thats fine, i will never buy another title from these devs, they lose my support.
you have to get with the plan,but i am sure luthier and his team will eventually have to roll out a win8 patch for the game because of BOM.

again its not MS's call, its a dev issue with the game code.
your argument is flawed, hell even B17 the mighty eigth works on win8.
il2 forgotten battles works on win8, doom1/2/3 works on win8
microsoft combat flight simulator 1 even works on win 8,
"big call" i dont think so, more like an expected dev priority and if luthiers team cant be arsed then shame on them
