And yeah pretty much this.

Here you go. You just type it like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZEucpC3_zs,
Removing everything before the equal sign.
After this type "youtube" before the equal sign and add one of these signs "[ ]" at either end of what you are trying to embed.
You should end up with something like this (sorry, I'm not good at explaining things).

Does he also want us to genuflect at his great altar of magnificence?

If they tack on a subscription fee that I need to pay to enjoy playing Call of Duty games online, in addition to paying for XBox Live, buying the game and buying map packs, I will no longer play Call of duty games. It's as simple as that.

However I feel Kotick is referring to something else.

The fanbase for Call of Duty is already dwindling thanks to the removal of dedicated servers from MW2.

MW2 NEVER had dedicated servers. Sold over 20 million units, plus all the pirated copies.
Dwindling fanbase for Call of Duty? You're joking right?

I never said it DID have dedicated servers, they announced pre-release there were no dedicated servers. Hence, a lot of PC fans feeling a tad upset.
And I've noticed far fewer people playing it than played the original.

What you meant to say, the intelligent fanbase is dwindling, thanks to the removal of dedicated servers. Lets face it, people buy it for PC to avoid the internet scum that plague the console versions, along with . So, on top of the lack of dedicated servers, the few true fans left will throw in the towel if there was a subscription added, who's honestly going to pay for something where you simply get abused for playing? And the company doesn't care about your platform because it doesn't make them trillions on the first day.

I Have to tip my hat to you for that, that's pretty accurate

In my country, Kotick sounds a lot like Kotek, which means dick...

Just replace the 't' in Kotick with 'pr' and you get Bobby Kopri*k, thats a much more suitable name for him.

 

[Doclector]

I really wish a boycott would work. I wish every gamer in the world would stand up to activision with a resounding "This shit will not fly!" response. But no matter what the real gamers amongst us would do, there's always the people who play nothing but COD, and thus, will bow to activision's every whim.

Kill him.

I think a quote tunnel is in need

The sad thing is, I bet all the 12 yearolds who play mw2 will pay for this bullshit

So, anyone buying that Medal Of Honour game? It looks like the greatest current day FPS ever!

& yes I am getting this for sure, Call of duty and Battlefield settle their differences and have a baby!

 

[TerribleAssassin]

This just in: Kotick = Satan.

In other news = 6 million douchebags turn into Satans minions.



Subscriptions? I already pay £40 just to get on the crappy game!

I've been in the Beta. It's fun, but needs a little bit of love. Dice's support for its games is legendarily good though, so no worries there.

No problem.

/business facepalm

MW2 is already the biggest entertainment launch in history and they probably got probably trillions in revenue from it (thanks for the increased price you jackass!), can't they be happy with that?!

 

[Gindil]

No, no they cannot. Remember, this is Kotick. The horse will be dead with flies surrounding it before he thinks to put air freshener on it to get what he can from it.

 

[12capital]

I think Kotick may have wrongly interpreted the constant calls to fix the various imbalances and bugs in the game to mean people wanted more customer support along the lines of what blizzard offers in WoW. While this couldn't be further from the truth, people just want him to fix the broke-ass game you pawned of to 20 million players.

 

[ultrachicken]

I wonder how my brother is going to react to this.

Honor

Put that 'u' back in there right now young man.

Actually, in the game title, there is no "u" in "honour"

 

[ultrachicken]

I lol'd.

A bit off topic, but so many people decide to clamour to Battlefield Bad Company and other such games, but has anyone had a look at TF2? Free, constant, updates more than 2 years after its release, a low price, no subscriptions or anything and they even add in community made stuff. Its an amazing game.

The console version isn't exactly outstanding: no updates, and barely anybody plays it. Not everybody has a PC.

 

[Jzolr0708]

I don't even like CoD, matter of fact, I sorta hate it, and he's still an ass for doing this.


Heres to Halo Reach stealing all the lovely "subscriptions" from Kotick.

lol..didn't bungie sign with activision?

Yes, but hopefully it'll be a bit different. Infinity Ward wasnt really big at all until they came to Activision, whereas Bungie has already made one of the best selling games of all time before even signing with Activision.

In the U.S (which is where the game is being developed, I believe) honor isn't spelled with a "u."
