About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

Since 7014 DaysA few hours ago, I saw a Tweet go out from a community member suggesting that Joker issue a takedown notice of Infinity Ward's AC130 vid on Youtube.
"@pstjoker I just thought you should send youtube a DMCA take down notice regarding the #MW2 AC130 video. See how youtube responds." (@therealrudedog)
I think Joker took up the idea and I can only assume he's more surprised than anyone that a few minutes ago YouTube yanked IW's AC130 video right off their official channel.

Plus, if I was okay with playing an Xbox Call of Duty, I'd buy the PC version.
And I don't fault most people for buying the console version, if that's what they want. What pisses me off are the people who are actually opposed to the lack of features, who bought it anyway. The complacent consumer, "might as well get used to it," attitude is very sad. Shame on them.
Since 6962 DaysI know you want the PC version but for that money it's still a good game on console.

Since 6086 DaysStill £26 from sainsburys is sweet (would cost more than £6 in petrol to get to makro). I know I wanna make a point and not buy it, but i feel like im missing something, and to get it for half price is surely screwing someone out of money.

I wasnt going to buy MW2 at all to be honest. Not my favourite genre but those prices are what spiked my interest. I am still debating right now since I cant get it from makro. Cant afford to buy more games this year. screwed myself with a PS3 and a new Elite.

And this minority would just probably just open up the console, take the textures out, increase FOV, decrease all graphical effects etc etc strip the game down so that they can have the extra edge. Might as well just stick to MW1 no and stop complaining no?

The only choice the consumer has here is to try and make their disappointment known in any way possible, sure a lot of it is seen as "trolling" but it's not like activision will listen to anything else.
Just because the features aren't something you are aware of, or feel the need to use doesn't mean they are any less important to other consumers. I'd like to see your stance if something they removed actually impacted on your enjoyment of the game, maybe taking the multiplayer component out altogether, or making you pay extra to unlock it, and i'd bet there would still be people making excuses for it.

Apparently the only fights worth fighting have to do with "evil dictators" lol.
You're clearly in the "might as well get used to it," camp.
Since 6445 DaysIf they would've taken the multiplayer out would i still buy the game? Yes, i've spent money in crappier SP games, i think the 10h out of its SP, judging from the other games, would be enough to justify it. If they would make me pay extra money to play multiplayer? Probably yes, again, I've played over 100h of MW1, so the money would be well spent.
I think in the end the amount of people buying the game goes to show how much people (the majority) don't care about these features, and not so much that they are marketing tools or "consumer whores". Activision and IW are companies, trying to maximize the return for their (huge) investment. You as a consumer have to decide if you buy it or not. If the majority decides not to buy it, they'll get the message.
Now don't go calling others tools or whores, while they're having fun, and you are sulking.
Since 6445 DaysI pay 10euros to go to the movies, and that's 2h of entertainment. 5 euros to rent a dvd and 20 to buy one which you see 3 or 4 times. And for a game like this, we pay 50 euros and I've enjoyed it over 100h (and can only imagine how many hours some of you guys must have invested). Also, we pay the same for games now -- which are developed by teams of hundreds, over the course of years, with ridiculous budgets -- as we paid for games 5 years ago when they were developed with ridiculous smaller budgets and by teams of 10+. So my point is, again, I do think we pay too little for (some) games, considering what's invested in them and how much fun i get out of them, and I can't help but feeling how childish all these complains are, and how out of phase with reality some of remarks are, when in reality it's more than normal that these companies are just trying to maximize their return.
Since 7014 DaysNo one is complaining about Activision and Infinity Ward trying to make money.

Since 6086 DaysMy point is, COD:MW2 has a higher RRP, lower costs (they didnt have to make a new engine), less features, and less flexibility. It's still a AAA game, and only one of a handful being released this winter, that is why people want it.
You pay 10 euros to go to the movies for 2h of entertainment, but this is the equivalent of them trying to force you to buy specific brands of confectionary to go along with your movie whether you want to or not.
