I love COD, I love the MW series, but I hate, HATE the publisher and the people associated to it. The COD have always been great games, very fun to play with a great single player story and a fun multiplayer mode. I've bought every game, even rebought some on Steam when I got the chance, bought every expansion and DLC, but it feels like this last year things have been going overboard. From no paid DLC to 2, then 4 DLC with the following game and this year they are promising new content every single month with DLC packs every couple of months. The COD series is a billion dollar series, MW2 without DLC broke the billion mark and BlOps sold even more, now add DLC to that. Bobby Kotick in interviews has said that he would drive series straight into the ground and bleed them dry for all the profitability possible. We now have a new COD title every year. I already bought MW3, generally speaking I support DLC in that it helps support further development for games, but frankly speaking they are abusing it. We aren't seeing game fixing patches come out at the frequency we use to, only just before a new content pack is released and mostly in the notes it mentions adding support for upcoming content pack leading to the believe that they are more concerned with developing the DLC then working on those game fixes. How long did it take them to get Black Ops servers to run smoothly, the hard answer is the first major fixes didn't come out until right before the first DLC was released 3 months after the game was out.
I want to play MW3, I want to enjoy the new content, but I'm having a hard time justifying it. Pre MW2 I always bought all my friends copies of the games BF2, BF2142, COD4 and MW2 I bought about 5 copies each everytime (other games also, but those were the big ones), it was always worth it. MW2 was the last game I actually did that, why because all the DLC made it to expensive for me to do that.
I spite the consoles for everything they did for video games and my beloved COD series!
