My problem with Cod is after the first few weeks when everyone starts taking advantage of all the little quirks and stick with the most powerful load out, it stops feeling like its actually portraying modern combat. It turns into this weird random cluster fuck of dog eat dog.
Once people start sprinting out third story windows and doing 180's firing off LMG's it stops being the war game I want it to be. It would be nice if they actually gave a shit about what they are trying to portray rather than just rehashing the retard Rambo death match thing they got going on.

Cool. I've been protesting with a Modern Warfare & a COD black out for years.
So tired of these shooters sucking up development resources away from other genres.

Removing death streaks and taking out the Assault Package would just make this like MW1, a game which is still extensively played online. Just go and play that.
As for lag compensation, every COD suffers from it. It certainly sucks beyond reason, but Activision doesn't seem arsed to fix it after 5 successful iterations.

Post sale support? They've paid for their yearly update! Wait until november, you might see a result!
Howabout "Don't play CoD. Period."
This type of protest is the most useless, inane thing I've seen in awhile. I'm sure Bobby Kotick is going to lose sleep that night because a bunch of losers aren't playing CoD while he lays wide awake on his diamond encrusted bed.
Want change? Stop buying CoD entirely. I know I did after Black Ops.

Well, this is one way to weed out the complainers and idiots so my Aunt Mary can play while I go cut some grass in this beautiful spring weather we've been having.
Am I doing this right?

I play alot of CoD (I was number one in the world on the 360 for most shotgun kills and most shotgun headshots and yes I play plenty of other games of varying genres) and I can honestly say that the video does raise at least a couple of good points. For example, all too often I spawn and die very quickly because I've spawned very close to an enemy, or in my Killcam I see myself killing the enemy that killed me and then them killing me within seconds. Bear in mind that the Killcam is typically no longer than 5 seconds.
It would be great if IW fixed the problems with the game but they've already got our money and the next CoD is more or less guaranteed to break records and they know it. Oh well.

I Haven't play MW3, But Activision and Infinity Ward are probably too busy swiming in money and preparing the new 15$ dlc map pack to care :P
Sweet that will probably be the day I pop it back in so I can play with people that aren't crazy good.
Not sure this is gonna do anything, but whatever floats your boat. I haven't played the game much, not because I don't enjoy it but because I just don't have the time.
Also, I find it funny that they're doing this on 4/20. Just pointing that out.

I was with them till the removal of deathstreaks.
In a game where one player can and will become the Neo of that match, is only fair that I get something to cap your ass.

Hey morons: the best way to protest a game is to not buy it. That's what I do with the vast majority of Activision titles. It's the only way companies learn. Idiots.
Send them cupcakes with random DICE embedded into the icing while laying the cupcakes out on a BATTLEFIELD, heck, THREE BATTLEFIELDS with tanks and jets and jeeps and helicopters and MAV's.....
That'll show em what's up.
That'll show em what's up.
Activision will be laughing it's ass off. They already got everyone's money, they couldn't care less about that protest.
lol $50 says that most of these players can't last a whole day without playing and will log in eventually :D
On a more serious note, all the COD games have the same problems, but people keep buying them. :/

So... this is a protest, from what I'd assume to be, a bunch of Call of Duty addicts that are completely pissed that they're not getting their desired killstreak because someone killed them with a Martyrdom deathstreak or someone with 6 perks over your measly 3 because they chose to use the Support package.... LIKE... REALLY BRO?
The only issues I've had with MW3 is the millions of hackers. Ban 'em forever and I'll be fine with it.
What will they do? Play one of the other 800 games available for the Xbox 360 or PS3? Nah. Can't do that, all dem other gamez r for lame emo kidz, COD rulz bro!!!
*looks at the date*
Yes! Stop playing Modern Warfare 3 for a day and get high instead! That'll show 'em!

By the way, people are just now realizing that they've been sold a game base on broken promises? Are these people first timers to the series or something?
Not playing it for one day won't hurt them a single bit. The only way they might listen is to stop buying their games .
My earlier comment. Forget it. I'm retarded and can't read.
Also, Isay Isay will now be head writer for a new Cheech and Chong movie. I demand it.

Everyone knows the COD games get poor support after launch same with Battlefield (although they do try but break other stuff in the process)
I already see this failing so hard. 4/20...The day kids get high, you honestly think they'll remember that they are boycotting something while they get high?
hhahaha deathstreaks removed? wow gamers will whine about ANYTHING. They're there so people who suck can have a fighting chance to still do well. If you think a game should be made only for the most elite gamers then you're playing video games wrong. By the end of the day, games are a business, making your game unplayable by FPS noobs, or people who in general cant get good at FPSs for whatever reason makes you lose millions of dollars in revenue. First gamers complain about Mass effect 3's ending and now this? Grow up.
One day without playing a game is exactly like these one day gas boycotts.
They make absolutely no difference. You're basically saying "Hay, we're unhappy with this! We're going to give it up! But then we'll be right back! No need to make any real changes, but we're gonna have a little fit here, then we'll be right back. We're mad as hell! And we're going to stop playing! But we're gonna be right back!"

You know, considering this is highest selling video game in the world, I'm not surprised this is happening. You'd think, using an engine from 1999 and with the explosion ignited by 4, this series would have been the most polished multiplayer game in the world by now (so far, Epic Games has that down despite also starting this broken trend). Playing MW3 myself, it still isn't. This is the multiplayer game that all look upon to what to expect for the future of multiplayer and they're (IW and TY) still having issues stemming from 2007?
Perhaps BF3 fans are smart enough to notice DICE is more incompetent then lazy when it comes to dealing with that game's problem, hence why that title hasn't gotten some form of blackout protest.
Blackout...I wonder if Treyarch will use that as some tagline for something related to Black Ops 2.

I stopped assuming that IW would care right around the MW2 release. The so-called "boycott" did absolutely nothing, the game still sold gangbusters, and the gimped PC version was eventually modded to all hell, and currently has more functionality and more gamemodes (that is, ones that were locked behind a script so they could be unlocked via DLC) than the console version.
Besides, half these complaints would be remedied if the players just went back to the originals. There's a reason why they still have a stable player base years after the fact.

I've heard all these complaints before, except support and death streak complaints. What the guy died 5 times in a row and his last stand help him go 1-5 yea take that out, support killstresks are crap use assault like a big boy.
Seriously this is so fucking stupid 80% of people who complain about lag are just mad they got beat and lag has nothing to do with it, tact inserts in kill confirmed? Well besides the boosters I see no problem getting to kill the same guy twice because I know where he spawns. Akimbo subs to strong? No you just got hit with 200 rounds per second times 2, its not like its atall accute. Fuck I dont even talk to my teammates because all it is, is lag this and fucking camper that.
stop taking this game so serious, or go play halo I don't give a fuck

My policy on the Call of Duty games is something akin to this.
Except playing the games never comes into the equation.
Don't promote these games at all. :D

For those wondering, these are indeed legit complaints.
The game came out in November, and Elite still doesn't work right. It took months for Clan Ops to be implemented, and they don't work right.
The complaint about lag compensation isn't just that it exists, it is that the developers messed it up rather badly. In attempting for an even ground, the developers actually over-punished people with good connections. A person with a good internet connection can find themselves a second behind a person with a bad connection, unable to get a kill with an entire clip while dying instantly from enemies. Worse, people realized that intentionally sabotaging their connections gave them a major advantage.
Spawns are so bad that people spawn on top of fresh corpses, spawn in the line of fire, spawn on top of other players, and all sorts of other issues. One of the demolition maps apparently has an overtime spawn that puts one team right next to the bomb. Domination is ruled by spawn killers because several maps have one team spawning at a noticeable disadvantage. Instead of adding more spawn points or performing other changes to the maps, the developers just tweak the settings that pretty much determine whether you respawn in front of the guy who killed you or behind the guy who killed you.
Two deathstreaks have issues, but the developers refuse to even consider adjusting them. (Final Stand has a moment of invincibility, and Dead Man's Hand has a blast radius between a Reaper missile and a Predator missile, which is further expanded by Call of Duty's sometimes iffy handling of explosives.
The developer attitude to weapon balance is questionable at best. It doesn't matter if a weapon is bad on paper. It doesn't matter if you can show why the numbers show one weapon is outright inferior to another. It doesn't even matter if a class is underpowered against another in execution. The developers care about weapon popularity. They've got usage percentages in mind, and adjust weapons based on those percentages. People complained for months explaining why LMGs were underpowered, and gave good explanations for it. The developers recently decided to patch LMGs, not from player comments, but simply because the overall usage numbers for LMGs were lower than they wanted. The developers left half the shotguns as underpowered, but refuse to touch shotguns again because too many players complain when they die to shotgun users.
The patches themselves are a bit of a joke. The patch history of Akimbo Machine Pistols was a months long comedy of errors. The way the patches work are fairly questionable as well, without much concern for maintaining weapon variety (probably because the developers only seem to care about weapon groups, not individual weapons. As long as no one weapon in a group is insanely overpowered, they just don't care) or even other consequences.
I could go on and on about it, but MW3 honestly approaches a train wreck in nature.

Wow! What the fuck these players are expecting from Activision? The same thing happened with MW1. People were asking for patches/support and Activision showed to everyone that they don't care.
At that point, I thought it was clear to everyone that Activision don't give a fuck about the customers, but the same dumb customers bought MW2, World at War, Black Ops, MW3 and purchased their subscription to COD Elite... What kind of message do you think you're sending?
Seriously, they knew all along how it would end, but they still went with it and asked to get fucked. Now that it's happening (AGAIN!), they're complaining? I'm sorry but you lost the right to complain the moment you bought MW2.
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Complaining about bugs and network code is one thing but you want features removed from the game? Good luck.
Also you are a whiny baby if you complain about Final Stand. Objective truth.

I've played it off and on since launch, and haven't noticed any game-breaking issues like the ones listed. >_>
Is there a point to this blackout? Haven't they already paid for the game? They're not still paying for it, are they?
It's because they're so willing to throw their money at the "Modern Warfare" title that the devs don't give a crap about fine tuning the game. They know they don't have to put in any effort to make their fortune.
