Go for it! Such stupidity = More possible buyers for KZ3 :P

Omg imagine if all 9 million people went over to KZ3...I would be so happy! Do it activision!

Wishful thinking. More people will probably downgrade to MW2 before they find a completely different shooter to flock over to. Keep in mind that a huge majority of CoD's fanbase are casual non-gamers that wouldn't bother to put effort into any shooter that requires a decent amount of skill. Shutting down Black Op's servers will be HORRIBLE for the ps3's image. Among those masses of casuals are hardcore CoD fans that put tons of hours into the game. How do you think they'll react when all their work randomly goes to waste one day? If they were to shut down the servers long before the next CoD's release, i think a small decline in ps3 sales will be inevitable, along with CoD sales favoring the 360 even more.

If these "rumors" really are true, I'll just label the entire situation as completely f***ed up. I've played Black Ops for tons of hours, and plenty of friends have came over and also played it for tons of hours.....my connection has been fine pretty much every match. It's not perfect, but it's never once been bad enough to make me stop playing, nor has it come close.

I'd have to agree with you here.  I fail to understand where people say all of this supposed "lag" is coming from in Black Ops.  I have like 1 mb internet (which is not in any degree super fast), and stats load super fast, and games will on a rare occasion laggy and not switch hosts for a little while, but nothing to where I can no longer play the game.  Plus, this has nothing to do with activision servers, it has to do with the host's internet sucking it up, the same exact damned thing can happen on 360, and I'm sure it does.
