After reading numerous forums and articles stating an obvious distane for Activision I was wondering how many people will still purchase COD Black Ops. I have no doubt that Black Ops will be another quality title from Treyarch, and quite possibly their best work yet.
I personally love Modern Warfare 2 and all the Infinity Ward stuff but it wasn't without its share of problems online. What really pissed me off was the pricing of the DLC. I did "choke'' down the first map pack but refused to buy the second and will not until I feel the price is justified. Sorry, but 3 new maps and 2 old remakes don't cut it in my opinion.
I find it rather disturbing that is the largest and most profitable companies (EA, Activision) that are setting these obsurd online pricing trends. So, don't get me wrong, if you love the games they make and you feel you got your moneys worth..good for you.
For everyone else who feels the same way I do, I urge you not to be naive and think that Activisions business practices will get any better with COD titles from here on out.
So, will you still go ahead and buy Black Ops knowing full well that DLC is most likely already made for the game only to be slapped on a few months later and that the pricing will probally be the same as MW2 map packs.
If so..enjoy the game. I will be spending my money on other franchises this year!
