Boycott Fail

[{CLR} Major.Massacre]

So who held true to the boycott? EPIC FAIL. I cant believe how much smack some of you guys talked about never buying it, and yet still bought it.
Say what you mean, and mean what you say. Oh yeah who's hardcore now baby.

I didnt cave nor did I pay. Well if $4.00 is paying too much I'm guilty.But IW, nor Activision, nor any retailer gets any of that money.Goes to the local economy. Plus, mine is a slightly modded.

ps:its not that great of a game, if you want to compare it to Cod4.

Ahh, the angry guy from Canada's back.

i didnt buy
at least not yet.....

A friend who is on steam a lot was laughing about this too. There was a boycott group in steam, and 90% of them were currently playing MW2.

They are part of their own problem...

I've played it quite a bit but won't buy it, I'll be bored of it within a month as you can't rely on it for a competitive gameplay experience. Between the terrible netcode, the constant connection disruptions, the random kill streaks and endless hackers it's just not worth getting serious about or paying money for.

So there you have it. Cain has the server.The lair is playin TF2. And I support that alone. I cant play from here, but I still support everyone involved. If some of the guys enjoy their time with the port, I aint mad at em. But I didnt sell out. If it wasnt for my location, I probably wouldnt even have the cracked version. I'd be in with the rest of the Lair.

If they ever get their head out of their arse, I might consider purchasing from them again. Maybe BC2 will blow them out of the water so far they'll never need a paddle ever again. We shall see.

There is a void right now on the PC side as evidenced by so many old games making a comeback. The bad taste of ported play, limited players and hackers,and having basically a crap shoot if you want to play with your friends, will still be around long after the glitz and glimmer fades from the game.

Its the only thing really available for FPS core players.Its just a shame that so many people had high hopes for what could have been.It was a gamble they took. And it seems to be working. So they win..... at least for now.

But they never got my money.

+1 x-mas

[{CLR}geneSW]

Didn't buy it... Still don't plan on buying it or any other IW game.

[Evilization]

after thinking about it again
i think im still not buying it
playing Torchlight as of now, its a decent game

[nickleal98]

Yeah so i am probaly going to never buy this game, but if I go over my buddies house and he's got i might give it a try. i do miss playing the Battlefield games on Cain's Servers I had the most fun with that!!

[Furryappleseed]

Didn't buy it. Have not even watched someone play it, in person or on some vid since my decision not to get it.

No plans on buying it....ever. I don't care if its a 2 buck game on d2d/steam later on. This game joined Samsung in my "never get another buck" group.

[DougBob]

Have NOT and will not. I said I wasn't going to get it and I won't. I thought about the PS3 version and said no, that would be putting money in IW pocket. That is the last thing I want. It's a real shame to read about the PC version getting purchased. I agree the PC community is being our own worst enemy.

[Skud]

One last thing on the boycott. I did it for a few weeks. I tried buying an RPG, Dragon Age. I tried buying TF2. Both to try not to think about the newest, most graphically detailed modern weapon shooter around...the kind of game I am good at: reflexes, shooting, eliminating.

If people continued to play COD4 on the Lair, I would have tried to stick with that. Some did, but not enough to make a game. With my different hours, the server system on MW2 actually works in some ways, in that I don't have to run around in an empty server all morning, waiting for someone to join me (not fun...and I don't have unlimited free time). So now I can play when I want, with my friends who have it, and with my SCAR. Sorry folks, I tried...but the cartoony games just don't do it for me.
