Sadly, it's far from the first time that he's completely derailed a thread in here with his ignorant, rambling posts. Despite his pomposity, he really doesn't have a clue.

I didn't mean to derail the thread, and in fact, I'm not the one who started this argument.

The above poster mentioned that I derailed the thread with SP gaming discussion, but actually, I was showing how elitist it looks to openly claim that console style MP games aren't worth porting to PC because they're "crap."

Namecalling games, and elitist statements are common in this thread, and I disagree with most of them so I'm going to say it. I didn't actually want to discuss SP gaming, I clearly stated that it was an example. I don't even believe what I said, and I clearly labled it.

Anyway, get back on topic if you would like. Go sign or don't sign the petition, I don't care. However, I don't think it will have the desired results, and I certainly am a PC gamer. I have the credentials. I have 2 level 70 toons on WoW, I've beaten The Witcher, and I don't need to prove my beliefs to anyone. Just because you don't like then, doesn't mean you should flame me, but do what you feel.

Hahaha.

Whoa, you've beaten The Witcher? Well why didn't you say so earlier, I'm sure everyone would be taking you seriously if you had.

Instead of trying to justify yourself, how about posting something worth reading? No one gives a toss that you've played this or that, not when you're continually coming up with turgid rubbish.

I've been accused of "obviously not being a PC gamer" so I gave you some examples of games I've played. I realize they are unimportant, but apparently some people don't believe that I'm a PC gamer at all.

That's why I mentioned that.

I've been accused of derailing this thread(ironically by you, since it seems that I'm your main topic of interest), so I'm not posting my opinions here anymore. You obviously don't like them, and you're being passive agressive about it, so if you want to have a debate with me, do it in PMs. Good luck.

Don't take that as an invitation, however. While I will oblige anyone willing to debate, I am particularly insulted by your posts, and would rather not get to know you.



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.

Good. Bye then.

I'd say it's a success (the "campaign") if it doesn't appear as #1 any week. after that, it's just a matter of time before 1) the official forums and Steam forums are filled with complaints and people asking for refunds and 2) people go back to MW1. I'm sure there are a good number of players completely oblivious to the changes and they'll be VERY upset once they find out what happened with MW2.



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

I think it'll make a decent dent, but not enough to make Activision reconsider their folly. Like you say though, there will be a sizeable number of gamers not aware of the gimping of the game who are going to have a nasty shock. So for future games, they'll pretty much have decimated their PC sales.

Yup.  There will be basically no PC community for this game, which might hurt the next Call of Duty's sales more than this one.

people are playing it and are saying the max for modes such as Search & Destroy is LOL, 6 vs 6. fucking joke!

Exactly, though not many people will be able to get a refund.

You think Activision really gives 2 shits about the little petition... Over 4.5M preorders, they will be wiping tears that are shed by PC fans with 100 dollar bills.
