So I made a post today on the IW message boards about Call of Duty MW2 , to which I am almost certain will fall on def ears , I figured i post it to show people the lack of support that goes on inside said walls there. . .
"So as I am sure many of you are aware the game MW2 is considered 'broken' by even the smallest standard. thousands of threads and responses daily about bends and breaks to the game itself. New hacks and 'glitches' on almost a weekly basis.
I ask anyone, ANYONE @ IW to please respond to your community , an opinion , a fix, SOMETHING that tells us your actually seeing this stuff, over even care that your brand , your baby as it were, is being dragged through the mud by people who find it necessary to ruin everyone elses good time.
There is a debate even on this board as to why you are charging people for new content even when the current content is "broken" or "not working as intended"
Its also really sad to see locked threads, and changed posts when all you have to do is actually respond to these things to let people know your listening
Its unfortunate that IW has some internal issues that were made public, and that there is doubt about IW's future with Actavision, but the more (or less) you don't respond gives off the public opionion that you don't care and are not listening, and will just continue to sell a broken product
your pedal is stuck IW , where's the fix? talk to us? reassure people that they can spend another $15 on this product"

I have gotten some checky and cute responses from some of the other forum trolls here:http://www.infinityward.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=298842&p=4274862#p4274862
however I am trying to make a point, and my point is that now large video game companies churn out a product, and at some point, let it go, make some DLC and make more money and move on
Gamers want to be vested in a game now these days , $60 is hard to come by for alot of kids, more over a broadband internet connection with a monthly fee. People really do want to be part of something they are passionate in , hense why people get into things, a community is established, and they are helping it to grow
For instance MMOs , they are the quitisential place for people to A. play a fun game and B. connect with people
A common place to where they can be accepted for what they like , a FPS is no different, thousands of people with a skill set for a game come together and do something fun, and expect some level of help or support , for their time
All to often it feels on consols that a company will make a game , fix some bugs, and move on, but people want more than that now, they want to feel like someone cares a bit about what they do, that they can continue to invest in a game and have it last
case in point , look at guitar hero, we are on 5 now, i didn't even know we were on 5 until I went into a store and saw it for myself , and really why should i buy 5 if 6, 7, and 8 are obvisouly comming
more over why cant someone just make Guitar Hero , and let me DL songs I want, and not make me pay for the other 75% of the disc i dont
anyway, it's too bad that no one really has made another game that is as fun or as customizable as COD series, I have seen the Halo Reach stuff, and I will say this, give us a hardcore play style Bungie, please give us a one hit kill playlist option, i am so tired of laying a full clip in some kid only to have him punch me and i die . . . really?
