Because of the developers. They are amongst the greatest development teams of our time, and their games are fantastic.
That said, I buy games for single player experience. I don't need to grind, I don't need millions or even tens of hours worth of gaming out of my 60 dollar purchase, and I will buy this game knowing that without a shadow of a doubt, it will be worth every red cent.
Why not rent it? Cause I've already rented Uncharted 2, and my gamefly account only allows 1 game at a time.
....but fyi, I kinda get a gut feeling that this game might be a keeper.
Also, I don't think the dedicated server complaints are justified at all. IW gave their reasonings, and if you don't like it, don't buy it. Period. Incessant complaining obviously won't change their minds. These people are not friendly to gamers, or competition. They are pretty rigid developers and their beliefs are not negotiable.
I buy this for the same reason I buy Zelda. The developers deserve to have the game bought. It will probably be great, and you don't need multiplayer to make it so. By your logic, why buy any game. It seems to me that you're just upset for some reason unrelated to the actual quality of the game, and want to degrade its percieved value, publicly.
...also, CoD4:MW was the only videogame my father ever played. Day 1 for MW2, for me and him.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
