First off where is my poll, second do you have proof they said it'd be free. Until I have official statements from Activision in your post, I will not believe such.

Keeping it even with Console users maybe? I mean it sucks, but maybe that is the half-assed excuse they will use to justify charging you all money. Or maybe they decided they really like money for product? Just guessing here.

I AM OUTRAGED AT THIS LIE!
I WAS PROMISED A POLL!

The whole Activision thing, meh. Things happen, causing other things to change.
If you don't like it, don't get it.

And that is my Opinion, of course I don't really bother with MW2 anymore, but that's my Opinion regardless.

you have a PC, surely you can handle them charging for a product you have no intention of paying for.

And that's exactly what you shoudl do. Unless it renders the game unplayable, go without.

I want a poll to vote on and Activision is a big company. Big companies lie. That is the truth. To be honest, I haven't bought a Call of Duty game since 2004.

Guess what? People are going to pay for it regardless of what you have to say about it. So is Activision going to give out free stuff and make no profit off of everyone downloading it? Or are they going to make half the people who play, pay, and make an insane profit off of sheer volume? Think about it.

*sigh*

not this again, there are already 20 odd threads about pirating.

I would call Complain to activision's customer support or in the forums, if this is true then its really dirty to do such a thing

Actually it was, maps on the PC have always been free, Modders have always created maps for the community, with MW2, no dedicated servers so Activision got rid of the compeition and can charge what they want.

Or perhaps Activision has realized, like I said they would during that whole boycott fiasco, that they can jerk gamers around as much as they want and we'll keep coming back like lambs to the slaughter or moths to the flame. If that is indeed the case then I'd like to remind everyone that I fucking called it!

The truth is, once a company realizes people will pay for something, then they'll start charging for it. It's not nice, it doesn't benefit the users, but it's the truth. All one can do is not buy the stuff...

Oh I WISH PC users got treated like console users! Then we wouldn't be left out of a ton of great releases that come out on everything EXCEPT the PC. Also, we wouldn't get crappy ports but rather games that are properly ported over to our platform. Oh yeah, you guys really have it bad...

Yeeees because maps created by modders are not official, it is illegal for a group of modders to charge for there content, unless they pull a Garry's Mod on the community and in all my years PC Gaming, I've never heard of free content, usually all the new stuff came in expansion packs that sold for around £15-£20, this DLC malarky is a console thing.

Anyway, why should PC's get it for free hmmm? What make us so special? If we get it for free, the people on the consoles should get it for free aswell, its the right thing to do, why charge one demographic and not charge the other? It's like this bullshit that eco-cars don't have to pay roadtax, its unfair, they use the roads, there-fore they should pay roadtax.

I' am not saying PC gamers should get it for free while console players should pay, the point is that the PC has always had a strong modding community that creates free maps, If console players want to do that for consoles then great do it, although I doubt it is possible on consoles so thats why it does not happen. instead of comparing two different platoforms and asking if its fair for one to get it free while the other pays, ask yourself is it fair to pay for somethig that used to be free? in my eyes no it most certainly is not.
